Eh, just view it as the perfect opportunity to check out lots of other mangas that you haven't read. It's a good chance to discover something new!
For how many weeks exactly can we expect the breaks will take place?

Isnt it usually until the second week in January? Last year seemed to be from 12/26 to 1/12 based on site times.

They always are ready to go earlier than that, so you get weird release dates til mid Jan.

Speaking of which, by the off chance the horribleness that is SOPA actually gets passed by the US Congress, how will it affect/impact the overall manga scanlation scenes?
I'm guessing the big aggregator sites will be down first. Don't think they will give a shit about targeting the smaller scanlators websites.
I dunno, the plot is developing pretty nicely and the thought of trap samurais just feels odder than trap ninjas.

Fist of the North Star
So I read all of this over the last week and it sure was something. Nice to finally experience one of the series that helped establish modern shounen. Kind of repetitive at points and the overarching plot wasn't really all there, but fun nonetheless.
But that was kind of a weird ending. So Ken loses his memories just to get it back a few chapters later? Seemed kind of pointless and only there for the sake of drama rather than some otherworldly scheme brought on by the blood of Hokuto. Oh well, at least no one cool died.
Should I check out Fist of the Blue Sky now?

People who use manga reader sites are going to need to learn to use other, ahem, sources.

There isn't a manga that makes me feel as bad about being lazy as this one, I tell ya. Schools' out, works out, but even still; this guy's fervor/passion to his spaghetti actually makes me hate myself. That's why I read this: Masochism. Also, it's pretty good.

Yeah, they totally deserve the break. I mean they even get people who hate their mangas to come back and read every week! That's tough
Just thinking about it. Could you imagine dedicating your every single day to drawing your manga and developing the story for 10 years straight? That has to be fucking ridiculously tiring. Their breaks are minimal compared to how much work they seemingly put in to their weekly schedules. and even during their breaks I'm sure they are spending some time either drawing or catching up or doing something like that. That's some dedication right there.

I am Korean.
I think of Jim Davis when I think of dedication.
Another cross dressing manga? lulz.
That is pretty much what I thought about it, but I really really enjoyed that first story. I would kill to see that mangaka do a full manga in that style.

Dark air chapter 1-2
Pretty good so far. I like the premise of this manwha. There are only 9 chapters out so far, but the first 2 chapters look great.

Haha. so good. Guitar used to make barriers, and increase physical speed. Drums to increase physical strength. Very good start of this manwha.

I believe this is just porn, not simply smut.

It's not porn but just avantgarde (I hope!).
No. You'll get nothing and like it.

I haven't paid attention.
I have no idea why they can't just copy the way Viz handles online manga.
Well, mangaupdates has it marked as porn, but it wouldn't be the first time they're wrong.

Asamiya-san no Imouto - 1&2
[url=http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=asamiya_1_009p5qx3.png]

looks like a light-hearted after the apocalypse slice of manga. I have a positive impression, especially if you read Aoi' dialuges with the voice of Osaka from Azumanga Daioh.
"Asamiya Aoi is a mysterious, innocent-seeming young girl who is traveling through a futuristic land with the help of her father's sketchbook. While she may seem naive, she can be surprisingly tough and resourceful. One day, Aoi encounters a young woman named Kyoko. She shares her travel plans with Kyoko and shows her the sketchbook. Kyoko can't believe her eyes! The sketchbook is more like research notes than casual sketches, and it is full of accurate maps and information that she could use to make loads of money. With the original plan of finding a chance to steal the sketchbook, Kyoko feigns concern over Aoi and joins her on her travels. As the two girls encounter and affect the lives of various people on their journey, will Kyoko be able to learn more about this unusual young girl?"
Shoujo Guitar wo Hiku is hentai, so the hentai tag is okay. But there's a difference between hentai and ero manga.

It isn't that there's no Naruto, it's that you already got it. WSJ takes the last two weeks off during a year; the chapters you get are always ahead of the actual release of WSJ.

to get this straight, we have to wat perhaps 2 weeks for another chapter?
I know that sometimes we get lucky and get a chapter leak a week or a half week in advance from time to time
Here's the deal laid out
Monday Dec 19 (last week): as usual
Monday Dec 26 (this week): no dice
Monday Jan 4 (probably bordering this week due to early leak): just as planned
Monday Jan 9 (week after next week): nope
(edited some stuff)
I'm pretty sure you're wrong on this. We're supposed to get one chapter this week (which is ahead of time, yes, I mean in pirate's terms) of the Big Three. One Piece and Bleach are having colorspreads I believe. It just coming a bit later than usual.

So that's a no...
What about next week?
Fuck if I know, that's just the way its gone the last couple years. It either comes out or it doesn't. I haven't heard anything that would make me think either way, I'm just going on whatever has happened most other years.
I haven't seen anything that would make me believe we're getting anything other than the usual, super early leaks of the stuff from 2 weeks out (last year we got a random Friday leak from the next week beyond that). Then again, I don't agonize over the release date of Naruto chapters enough to do anything more than speculate on it.

So basically what I just said
This "smutty manga of the week" trend is far worse than any of the shenanigans that come with the Jump releases IMO. On that note...
TLR 82
Rito really should know better than to take random prehistoric plant pills the Slutty School Nurse™ gives him. I have no sympathy.

Even if you lampshaded the fact that you were going to start talking about TLR, it's STILL ironic you bitched about smut and then talked about TLR.

Well at least Bleach is a flashback, so nothing too gripping waiting that two weeks with nothingness.
