To Love-Ru Darkness 1-2
This is much better, it gives up on the idea of focusing on one girl as the one. And it removes Lala + Haruna as the main focus instead for Momo and Yami. Still fanservice as fuck, but it has accepted it fully.

Quicker then I expected for Behei to be somewhat forgiven
Attack On Titan
choose who to save.... On another note (for the other side) I hate that the glasses dude saved one of them even though those two guys should've died a long time ago
Magi

Adding a plot was the worst possible thing to do to To Love-Ru.

The first part of this is pretty relatable.

Started reading Platinum End, it's pretty good. The MC is like, the anti-Light which is pretty funny.
Nisekoi 225
That face you make when you realize you lost.
There's still enough time for one of them to be patient zero of the Vanishing Plauge and for this to have been Double Arts Zero this whole time.
Not true. It unlocked the true crazy shit by giving him an excuse. Also, Momo.
Seems like it. Bleach is ending in a few chapters, Gintama is entering its final arc, Nisekoi is seemingly in the final arc and Toriko probably doesn't have long left.

You haven't read it yet? Shame on you!
I don't know what bothers me more about it. The lack of creativity in names, or the lack of creativity in premise.
Nisekoi and Bleach are, at least. Toriko had been speeding to an end, and Gintama entered its final arc.
I guess Nisekoi will end as planned at 229-230, so exactly one year after the start of its final arc, Bleach will end in it's anniversary month, Torkio shortly after. Dunno when Gintama will conclude.

So I just ignored Yen Press at AX because they usually don't have much good stuff, and everyone I talked to about the panel only mentioned Erased and Bungo (both of which are kinda bad IMO) so I didn't bother looking up what else they had. I finally looked at a complete list of announced things at AX and turns out Yen Press licensed Murcielago, which is an amazing action series and one of my holy trinity of unlicensed yuri manga (the others being A Kiss and A White Lily and Yurika's Campus Life).
First off, what the hell why did no one talk about this? Second, holy crap Murcielago got licensed. Hope it sells well.

I've read Ranman, by Katou Shinkichi, an artist who has an atypical art style. He has done previously National Quiz, Obrigado! or Baka to Gogh. Alas, I would way this is his weakest work I've read so far.
A good 2/3 of this single volume is composed of micro-stories. Micro because they are literally 4 pages each. You could say it's an exercise of minimalism and surrealism... but I would say the exercise failed, after reading them I only had indifference (except maybe 2 or 3, and it isn't like they were very good). The reality is that this is the type of work done in the interest of the artist, as he gets to draw lots of different cool things, instead of the interest of the reader.
A small sample of his art
At least at the end there is a bit better, longer story, about a boy being rebel and growing up.

Cover page: MOFU level over 9000! Like, wow, that is one page that will turn someone into furry. Too bad it's going on hiatus.
Demi-chan wa kataritai 19
Still cool. I wish they put more focus on how society accept demi in their life. Previous chapter was really cool.

Oh cool, a yojimbo reference! Author literally use the basic story for Yojimbo. One guy trying to make two opposing force destroy each others by joining each group without them knowing about the yojimbo true allegiance. The west might know the story from A fistful of dollar, featuring clint eastwood as the man with no name. Same story, since it's practically the spaghetti western version of Yojimbo.
Just finished the first volume of Spirit Circle. Have to admit, I was a bit skeptical when you folks said it was better than Biscuit Hammer, but I could definitely see that being the case. The premise is really unusual and I'm loving the jumps to different timelines. They're all so much more interesting than the current blase school setting.

I really will read anything if it deals with delinquents and yankee girls dating normal guys.
I think I have a type.

lol I just remembered that I've never read Yamada and the 7 Witches because the ending to Yankee-kun to Megane-chan was so bad that I became enraged and refused to support the author anymore
The Manga should have been over along time ago but ofc it does well and so the Author is prolonging and it feels bad
It's good for about 60 chapters. Or the first two or three arcs, roughly.
Then turn to shit reaaaally quick.
One of the few mangas I actually stalled on my reading list until I can just speedread the thing to its completion and be done with it.
20th Century and 21st Century Boy End
Overall good read, i love how Urasawa can give even side-characters so much personality and backstory in little time. The plot feels like its constantly spinning plates, its dazzling to look at but you always get the feeling it'll topple soon. And to Uraswa's credit i think he maintains it until about the last arc where things to into full on lol fuck logic territory. Maybe could have used a bit of trimming in a few areas but definitely an epic read.
And Holyland 1-90
I want to like this more than i do. But fuck every arc is the exact same thing over and over-MC is a bitch, then he's a badass suddenly, then he reverts back and forth for some arbitrary reason every so often.
I think its one of the those mangas where i love the concept of it so much that it carries me through because i want it to be amazing so bad but when you need to actually apply a narrative/plot to it it starts to fall apart.

I mean, I don't give a shit about Onodera and it still sort of got to me. Still, it's a situation they created themselves so they deserve it I guess.

lol I just started today.
I also long for a masked yankee girl as a main character
Just finished Spirit Circle! What a ride. Mizukami-sensei has an uncanny ability to make the ordinary extraordinary, the mundane effervescent.
I thought it was going to be one of those shonen yokai series which I don't really like (e.g. Kekkaishi, Rinn-ne, etc...), but boy was I wrong.
His comedic timing and sensibilities also tickle my funny bone. It's a tremendous shame it isn't localized so I can insta-buy the series. Biscuit Hammer will have to do for now. :3

Have you read Sengoku Youko? It's by the same guy and is also fantastic
I'll definitely have to check it out now. While I liked Biscuit a lot, it wasn't enough for me to overcome my dislike of feudal Japanese setting. But I just like how this guy tells his stories, so I'm in.
