I was just talking about this with my sister; that Tobi would be a much better villain if he was still being a dumbass comedic villain who was seriously trying to fuck over everyone. As soon as he became serious he became downright boring.

Tobi being a comical psychopath would have been awesome. Though Kabuto would then need to get a bigger role to become the "brains"
And that's another reason why Air Gear is one of the best manga around. It not only stays far from pussy protagonists but also portrays romance much more realistically than the majority of shonen.

I never understood this, oro was never a great villian in my books. what was so special about him? it always came too off to me that kishi was trying too hard to make him creepy so it just came off too cheesy for my tastes.
Creepy is cheesy and one of the most abysmal twist-filled characters isn't?

Tobi is a good boy..
I really love the filler eps in the anime.
"I am a school girl in love with her sempai"
"Hide myface butnot my but"

Having sudden twists is far more cheesy than being creepy, which is a factor that has nothing to do with being cheesy in the first place.
Creepy villains are always popular.

I didn't say creepy=cheesy i said that it seemed to me that kishi was trying too hard to make oro creepy and that's why it came off as being cheesy.
anyway, you guys ever watched Konoha Gakuen Den! it was one of the extras on a Naruto Shippuden DVD. Imagine the Naruto cast in a highschool.

Aiki, kinda.
I forgot, I dropped Aiki because it got a bit boring.
Kono S o Mi yo, it's borderline, but that's about the best manga that I can think of that includes what you're asking.
I'm okay with this.
" When he finds his birthmark may grant him mystical powers over the opposite sex, will he finally be able to use his butt to his advantage?"
I'm very intrigued to read this manga now
I as well. I've seen it on MU before yet for some reason had no interest.
But what is the deal with the "Ore x Yome" prequel? Is that worth reading or required for Kono S o, Mi yo!?
EDIT:
Eh shit, there is a prequel chain even after that one. I think it might just be related universe shit from the author.

What this guy said, Natsu x Lucy is SO going to happen. "Shounen logic" will always trump good old "logic logic" in these scenarios, so it doesn't matter that Natsu has been nearly asexual the entire series. It's still gonna happen.
EDIT: Oh, and Erza is going to get trolled before this is over. Next time we see Gerard/Jellal, he's gonna have fallen in love with Ultear or something.
Oh man I thought I was the only one... I can't stand Oro haha.
Kabuto on the other hand is a man I can get behind.
Nah Natsu is definitely into chicks. Did you forget about that little hotspring event? Also he was totally into Lucy's maid and that whole "blushing around Lisana bit" seals the deal.
Kabuto??? What does he do that Orochimaru didn't do better?
kabuto is just a bad oro clone that likes to spam revival no jutsu
It's not really a series. They are only tied together by themes and don't even reference each other.

Its surprising that he wasnt in a love interest with Ultear before, shes always been all over him.
I think the farthest Natsu x Lucy will get, is that promo for next years movie.
Great, thanks. I'm loading up for the holiday due to some travel. Just added this new one along with Kannagi, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, Sundome, A Girl by the Sea, Choujin Gakuen, and Kurogane. I would've added Übel Blatt except I still have Claymore, Gangsta, Vampire Bund, Half Prince, Lucifer BH (yes, still!), Mahoraba, and Sekirei in wait. Guh...
I think I should be good for when I hide from family to read manga. Isn't that what the holidays are all about?
Read something else.
Read this first. You won't regret it
I should have loaded up manga for my trip. Instead I'm just reading some fantasy novels
Will do right after I catch up on my weeklies. I plucked that one from your reviews and it sounds like one I would like.

On a side note what was with chapter 458 of HSDK? Like...really? No...like uh...really?

Good Ending 109 is out at Red Hawk.
"Note that thanks to our early raw provider, this release is a full week earlier than iMangascans used to do it."
This is the main reason I was hoping this series would switch teams. And no offense to iMS, since they did a great job with it, but they were just too understaffed to handle it with all their other projects (well, the TL quitting was a bit of a problem too). It's probably for the better that they can let it go.
As for the chapter itself:
Live?
Orochimaru resurrected BETTER Ninjas.
Orochimaru didn't need Ninja cards. He just ate what he wanted.
Lika a boss.
Clearly not good enough to beat an old man.
As far as manga duration is concerned, nah~
I agree with you, I dislike Kabuto; early on he was fine, I have no idea how he's relevant still outside of because the author made it so.
If the old man didn't pull out that old suicide sealing bullshit, this would be different.
Fuck.

I am Korean.
Hard to believe since the first was apparently ninja Jesus x100000.
He beat MADARA for christ's sake.
Edo Tensei 'n Manda.
He also has a bit more of a deranged personality.
This was a perfect opportunity for you guys to throw the folks workin' on Kimi with this new sub-group, have it and GE take the lead, and name it RAGE HAWK.
You missed it! For SHAME!
[EDIT] - Is Negima out this week?

Huh? Orichimaru beat the third by surviving and the third dying. All the third managed to do is lock Orochimaru´s jutsu for a while. And there is no comparison. Orochimaru is the best villain Naruto by a mile.
Haha, mission accomplished. It's an awesome manga.
Has this thing gone anywhere?
The entire "edo tensei" side of the war arc. If Orochimaru had a fraction of Kabuto's forsight instead of fucking around trying to get Sasuke's body, he should have built an invincible army.
Coincidentally, the 2nd hokage is fucked up for creating that jutsu.

I just had the weirdest brainwave in which I started to wonder: what the fuck is wrong with every character?
Sex is pretty fun. Why does everyone in this series act like it's physically painful and the biggest deal in the entire universe? It really....isn't.

Gerard and Erza almost kiss! ... but don't.
GE
"I don't hate you"? Great confession there ... yeah ...
As for the other plotline, Utsumi made the right decision, I'd say.

No they don't, that's the whole point of the next page.
Next page he says he can't and pushes her away
