Shounen is typically shorthand for battle shounen, in much the same way people mean "superheroes comics" when they say "comics".

It's just a matter of convenience, since it's rare that the term could be truly ambiguous in context.

...I don't get that impression in the least. The only time it ever really comes up is people trying to qualify what they like by saying they like "seinen" as though that's meaningful.
 
Most of the series people consider seinen, the term would mean "things that probably won't sell in the English market".
 
Nisekoi 122 - 159

Heh, I'm conflicted. After not reading it for so long and then binging through it, I feel like it always has potential but consistently does not deliver. At least the reaction faces are still good, albeit a little less prevalent.

The latest plot twist is interesting but as statu quo is god, I don't expect it to change something on the overaching plot. But then again, I was saying the same about the
time skip twist
in Fairy Tail
in the end it didn't matter lol



I remember someone here saying that Nisekoi was Komi Naoshi going full Springtime For Hitler. I found it funny and fitting.

Centaur's Worries Ch. 6
Good to see extraspecies people discuss hair styles and the hassle that come with certain types just like regular people.

Also Hime looks nice with shorter hair.
 
Monster X Monster 5
His mother is one hell of a troll.

lol said:
Shit just got motherfucking realer than real. Plot start moving, and there's death flag going on. I wonder if our protag going to get swtiched...

Looks like a variant on Asuna's sword. Also, I called Touta being a clone from the beginning.
 
Monster X Monster Chapter 5

For a moment, I thought it would go back to the usual NEET escapism behaviours. Plot progress, finally.

Is Reiroukan Still Alive? Chapter 13


Emotional send-off done right.
 
Lmao @ the "creative" name the scan group gave Fuuka 51:

"Chapter 51: Shit Concert"
 
Fuuka 51

So does that count as domestic violence?

....no? Domestic violence involves people in a cohabitation-type relationship.

You're forgetting that Iwami has no chance and is going to get friend-zoned in favor of Fuuka2.
 
It seems like french overlords gets all the manga i want

maybe i should actually learn french aince its a big advantage here in canuck land
 
I keep forgetting Yamada still exists. It was great until the first saga ended and he got together with the main girl. Then the main girl got boring and the stories repetitive. Though I guess I'll give the series credit for not trying to drag out the main couple in a world where they kiss every chapter.

I'm impressed how Tabata Yuuki managed to do so many right things in just 2 chapters. He had some great ideas in Hungry Joker but I thought that the execution was bad. Now I hope it doesn't get canceled.
 
Fuuka 51

How bad was the performance that Sara of all people would turn violent.

I suppose now we'll have a small slump until newFuuka tells You that music is about passion.

Sara's like the only violent character.

Its so Seo that he's doing bad because he can't reconcile his pure, awesome artistry with the concept of selling fucken records.
 
Imperial Guards 23

Color me suprised especially considering how much cliches and tropes were smashed into Black Clover. He seems to be playing it too safe, as the series itself can't identify itself. I mean at least Hungry Joker didn't seem like a mashup of other popular series.

Maybe it will get better.
 
It all depends on which Koyanagi Roiyaru doujinshi Turok read~

I think it was Ranchiki Hihoukan Gold but my memory is weak.

UQ HOLDER!

The plot thickens... This fucker knows who touta is.
Who the hell is Touta Konoe? a low quality clone? a clone of who? Not negi springfield, Touta too much idiot.

A mage fighter..? Magia Erebea or not, Touta not beating that one. Not strong enough physically and worse, not trained in martial arts. lack of magic too big a hurdle to overcome.
 
Dude I'm really surprised you say that especially considering how much cliches and tropes were smashed into Black Clover. It seems as if it can't identify itself, I mean at least Hungry Joker didn't seem like a mashup of other popular series.

I understand where you are coming but that's Shonen Jump. He created a interesting world with interesting characters in only two chapter. Look how the first chapters of BNHA had a lot in common with the start of Naruto and still manga's debut was very well received by jump readers. I'm reallly feeling it with Black Cover.
