Redemption always feels so good.

Tsuki saving the ball was probably the best moment though.

They sure are concentrating on Oikawa's serves even though none of them have been a success.

For now, anyway.

lol, that'll be a challenge. we've read most of the same things already. im just gonna re-read jitsu wa watashi wa again and enjoy it from the start and move on over to the pokemon manga, its surprisingly good.

It's really fun seeing how the character models/drawing style for Jitsu changed over time. On Jitsu the scanlator of it will continue, but they might drop it since it's being licensed.

I skimmed through the last two chapters of Yamada and they introduced another girl. why

Finished reading this last night.
It was a fun read I guess.
But... pretty lacking in actual plot and character development though lol.
It would've been nice to have some drama or I dunno, something, between Maki and Aikawa. But they are pretty much the same throughout the whole series. The other characters around them seem to have more real 'relationships' going on, even though they never really go deep into them. But I guess it's just more gag manga than romance manga, so can't be helped.


As an aside, does any body know any decent manga set in Fukuoka, or featuring characters speaking that dialect?

Dresden please tell me we can ban Wonzo.

Edit:

I would add in dumbyugi but he didn't insult it like Wonzo did. Wonzo must pay for his crimes!

It's one thing to not like Jitsu, it's another to call inari a good romcom...like, ugh.

You're right, Inari isn't a good romcom. It's a great romcom.

Oh no, I don't want my new friends to know I live with three pretty boys!

So suddenly, I have three sisters instead!

Anyway, this arc is pretty interesting. I'm intrigued in finding out which one of the friends is already dead.

 

[360pages]

You're right, Inari isn't a good romcom. It's a great romcom.

I found it rather boring..

Though the reason why I probably like jitsu wa over it is because of how un Romcom it is and it being closer to straight comedy.

 

[Quixzlizx]

You're right, Inari isn't a good romcom. It's a great romcom.

Damn, I had Inari on my reading list, but I'm thinking of taking it off considering the tastes of the people who love it here.

I don't really think they needed a ton of development. They were both compatible from the beginning, and the development was him admitting it to himself. We're just used to romcoms with soap opera-level twists, or stupid characters who refuse to admit anything for 150+ chapters.

Haikyuu!! Vol 15

Judos Vol 2

Hi-Fi Cluster Vol 2

E-Robot Vol 1

Holy shit at that Judos cover his hand seriously looks terrible. The Hi-Fi Cluster cover looks really bland and poor E-Robot. I have to say I'm really glad that the new Jump Start series are a lot better than these. I just hope they don't end up getting axed like these series did. I'm definitely setting myself up for disappointment ain't I.

Soma's, Haikyuu's, and Assassination Classroom's covers are looking nice.

 

[BakedYams]

If you hate yourself enough to read Urasawa, you might as well read Happy! too.

21st century boys and monster were really good, works of art i tell ya!

edit:

wtf is up with hi-fi cluster's hand?! did the mangaka really not ask other people to critique it?

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

I will cry if it's not coming to the US. I need my weekly does of Jitsu! I need it more than I need air!

Yeah it's coming to US, first volume in Jan of 2016.

Also feel bad for the Mangaka of E-Robot, yes it was a bad manga. But for you first manga to be killed in 10 chapters is harsh.

I don't really think they needed a ton of development. They were both compatible from the beginning, and the development was him admitting it to himself. We're just used to romcoms with soap opera-level twists, or stupid characters who refuse to admit anything for 150+ chapters.

Well, that's not really what I mean.
I think they were great from the beginning too.
But I have some problem with how they bring in new characters and... don't do anything with them.

Like in volume 3 or 4, the class president just suddenly appears and is a character even though I don't remember hearing about her ever before, and what's this? She confesses to the protagonist!? But... then it doesn't go any where. She immediately becomes a side character you don't see very much, and I kinda just get confused like, ok so why bring her in in the first place? Why have that confession scene?

It's not like I'm saying I like her and wanted to see more, because I don't, nor do I want it to be a manga where they keep introducing new girls vying for the protagonists interest to artificially keep it going. But... it just reads kind of poorly and doesn't seem well thought out.

Another point was when they introduce Kana. Now apparently this girl was the protagonists first love, so when she appears in the manga suddenly, I was thinking, well ok, maybe he still has feelings for her and this will make things awkward for Aikawa blah blah blah, but no. It's just a couple chapters of Maki and Aikawa reconciling Kana and what'sherface, and then again some side character.

It's not like I want crappy drama. Nor do I want some girl to show up claiming to be Maki's (non blood related) sister who is engaged to him. Also she is a dragon.
But it would be nice if they explored his relationship with Aikawa a bit more. One thing I really like is jealousy, but there is kind of none of that. Like it would be cool if maybe Maki, to convince himself he isn't interested in Aikawa because he is a dude, tries going out with some girl, but in the end still picks Aikawa. Or something.
I dunno, I'm not saying it was bad, just seemed kind of lacking.

You meant Judos, I guess he probably didn't give a fuck considering his manga got axed.

I guess it was as bad as that hand.
