He's being facetious. It's like saying there's only 3 starwars movies.

I saw this on another forum just now, and it's pretty interesting.
It seems like Togashi was already setting up Pariston.

I just didn't read that Big One Grimace argument, and I feel like I lost nothing by not doing so.

Caught up, finally.
Hajime no Ippo
I'm growing tired of this manga. Absolutely no direction and the chapters are just tedious. It's gotten to DBZ anime attack charging levels. Only redeeming factor at this point are the muscle drawings (med student here). Awful, awful chapter.
Bleach
So Ichigo knew but he chose! What a bunch of bull. Ginjo looks like an Arrancar reject and now we'll either get everybody bankaing all over the place or Ichigo being like "No! Let me take him on by myself!". Awful chapter.
Fairy Tail
What a fucking stupid chapter. Seriously.
Naruto
Basically Jinchuuriki Pain with added Sharingan powers, alright. Seems kinda overkill but I like it. Nice drawings too and it looks like it's gonna be a challenging fight, same as when Jiraiya fought Pain. Good chapter.
HxH
Missed last chapter as well so this double dose of awesome. Hisoka is a fucking beast and still one of the most awesome characters in manga. Fantastic chapter.
One Piece
So Jinbe basically confirmed, him being blood bros with Luffy and all. Even though this arc dragged on and on I liked its conclusion but I can't wait to see the supernovas. Good chapter.

Yeah it was mentioned back then I think 2 or 3 times. That's why Cheetah wasn't caught originally: the association didn't send the hunter that Morau recommended, but someone who was in Pariston's camp and he screwed it up.I saw this on another forum just now, and it's pretty interesting.

WTF @ that name. Oh and she is the new

I see these questions a lot but what do you mean by "romance?" Basically with shounen it is either romance at the main (Suzuka, Love Hina) or romance part of battle/fantasy (RtV, Karin). Very rarely does the latter finalize romances or push them along. The former almost always ends up wrapping things up.
Forget a couple of days, this shit just went down in the last hours. Awful lot of worming going on.

Another Beam , Big One , Grimace argument while i was away it really is the norm now.
Perhaps it's the early morning but isn't the issue that the graph reads 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st, 4th, 5th?

Why is Takagi so stupid? Every problem they have comes from him screwing up and Mashiro having to hit him with common sense

I prefer when the topic is about "one" of the big 3. This whole argument about "all" of the 3 is low-grade, especially when it involves sales.

If only we could back to the days of guessing that Tobi is ████████, the discussion of the next straw hat, and speculation around how Aizen will escape soul society's prison.

lmao look at the "demon" behind schwarz on page 10
this is super subtle guys, almost as subtle as "oh no kids and criminals are taking our manga seriously to bully and commit crimes, HOW COULD THAT HAPPEN"

Tower of God chapter 1-5
Pretty interesting so far. The main character is boring so far. He is smart,, but his personality is bland. Anyway i will keep reading this because it was recommended by a friend. I hope it gets more interesting.

Nowhere Boy 1-12
One of those rare series that successfully combines an unusual and interesting premise with excellent humour. Nice to have some colour for a change as well.

Nisekoi (ch 5)
-How do you drop a plot device?
The problem running with Nisekoi is that the characters can only carry things so far. The manga is starting to feel like the characters are doing gags instead of following the story. In a gag manga this is OK but it is disoriented for a romcom. The plot devices like the key drop now feel forced like they have to get serious all of a sudden. A lot of series go this direction ending with either incoherent crap or repetition.
A few more chapters like this will really put a damper on this work. I'm disappointed.

I still like the characters but I always go with what's fair. Reactions to the previous chapter I believe were overblown ITT but this chapter was really shitty. That's that.
I don't think I had compatriots on the defense force but they could be out there...somewhere...

The fuck happened in here?!!
Hope you boys are all calm now.
I always miss the drama that occasionally fills this thread....
Comrade. Take up arms my friend. We shall smite thy enemies.
Occasionally? What thread are you reading?I always miss the drama that occasionally fills this thread....
Pretty much. I'm hoping it grounds itself soon but it hasn't done anything even remotely close to offensive yet.
Seriously :/ It feels a bit like there's a goal we're after here (some reveal for the lock and key to establish the triangle) but there wasn't a great deal of planning it all out.
I guess I'm on the defense force as well. I think the series needs to take more risks/needs some adjustments in order to survive being cut from Jump, but it's not a bad series.

"I love you and I appreciate that you ran away from your dad to live with me, but I can't sleep with you in the same bed."
"And you can't see me in my underwear, because I would be embarrassed."
"Yeah, seriously, put some clothes on, would you?"
WHAT. THE. FUCK.
Aren't they're supposed to be 17 or 18?
Rin would probably have to rape Haruto.

This would probably be the best possible ending by now.
If you're gonna ask a stupid question expect a stupid answer. Not trying to insult Beam or anything like Beam and AG are implying, but the ask that is pretty comical. There are a ton of reasons why people buy series like Bleach, one of the reasons is brand loyalty and sticking to the series even though your opinion on it is different with time, you still have an interest in completing it. Bleach is also very popular with non-Jump readers which is probably why this contradiction even exists in the first place. On one hand, avid Jump readers don't like Bleach as much as they used to, but the majority of people still buy Bleach a lot which could be a multitude of reasons such as they're fans of the series, they happened to hear it's good so they're checking it out, they're collecting the volumes, etc. If I had a collection of Bleach volumes, even when Bleach gets bad, I'd still would want to buy the latest volume of the series just to complete the collection and to finish the story.
This dichotomy is also very similar to Twilight's sales and the critical reaction seen from hardcore book critics and fans.

This argument ended yesterday. Call off your dogs.

You know what? Alright. You win. Big congratulations for you. It's very tiring trying to "discuss" things with you since you are often so tactless and I did not know why, against my better judgment, I jumped into that discussion yesterday when you are one of its participants. Forget it. I'm not going to put you on my ignore list since that is against my forum principle (feel free to put me if in yours, if you wish, I'm not going to lose sleep over it) but I'm not going to say anything anymore to you. Please, feel free to continue arguing with others, you won't see me jumping in anymore. I am sure this will make both of us happier in the long run.
Oh and guys, this question I posted yesterday got swamped under the rug due to the heated discussion so I might as well quote myself, maybe any one of you can help?
If I'm not mistaken the premise is that the guy must become a ping-pong champion or something before he could unite with the girl. Anyone know?
Iris Zero already has a well established defense force (with fire). Got to cheer for the underdog.
Does this look like the manga you wanted?
I checked the list of ping pong manga at MU and this is the only one that kinda resembled your description.
