We Don't Have Any Friends

I swear this person stole my idea for a short story. :lol

This is really damn funny. I'm honestly surprised I didn't see or hear of it until a few mentions a page or so back in the thread. Dunno if I have a favorite yet, but I hope the group becomes even more diverse and picks up one or two more guys to go along with Yukimura. Things like this get better with strong quirky personalities on both sides of the gender line.

Haganai, at least I assume you're talking about Haganai, is stupid amounts of popular in Japan. Like, holy shit did it take off.

Also ...
what guys?

Kagami no Kuni no Harisugawa

Well, that was a convenient development. I gotta wonder how no one brought it up with Mao before if they all know of Harisugawa's plight.

Right?. I made the remark when that chapter first came around with that picture; how has nobody mentioned this clearly-obvious school trip picture to her?!
 
I've been thinking about One Piece...

Coby's probably not a captain. After that stung at Marine HQ, I doubt Akainu likes him much and probably won't let him climb the ranks. Him and Helmeppo are almost certainly working underneath someonew who align more closely to Akainu's brand of Justice. Possibly one of the new admirals.

Maybe they're with Smoker now ?
 
Shingeki

I don't understand what's so annoying about Eren surviving this. We don't even know if her goal is to kill him. She might be way better off capturing him alive for all we know.

If they have no reason at all to keep him alive, and they still do despite the fact he's dangerous to them, then it can be annoying. But we don't know that and most likely it's not the case.

Because playing the "OMG he is dead" cliffhanger card is pointless and stupid at this point if the mangaka isn't going through with it.

It seemed pretty obvious to me that she just captured him
If she wanted to kill him as fast as possible that was a really bad way of doing it
 
Rookies 28

Hell yeah.

Bleach

Only good thing in this chapter was Shinjo? the main Vizard guy, getting his old job back.

fixed

That depends if Garp is still around in the marines (unless he left like Sengoku) since he was the one looking after them.
 
I don't know. If they were, wouldn't they have been in the last chapter?
well oda has to save some of the surprises for the new world. i'm hoping garp taught coby how to control his haki. luffy was taught by rogers right hand man and coby taught by one of the strongest marines. its not like garp had anything else to do. he pretty much retired to east blue.
 
Indeed. Nisekoi 9 - This is like the many moe faces of Chitoge chapter.

There is a conspiracy going on to make Chitoge the best girl and as part of the Onodera Brigade, I'm not liking that.
 
Fairy Tail 266

Fairy Tail continually at disadvantage after disadvantage wow. I hope they can actually pull off getting a first place at some point in time. Several memorable and amazing panels especially their faces and expressions. Kind of distressed over Wendy though. Good.
 
Fairy Tail

What a terrible chapter. There is no point in establishing that you are cutting down the guilds participating when we all know only 2 of them will mater. And it's not like the obstacle this chapter was interesting since they just beat the labyrinth effortless.

It's not too late to see the light!

[spoiler]She'll get her time to shine next week; it's a balancing act![/spoiler]
 
...

You're fucking with me with that spoiler right? :lol

I'm not sure how to best answer you on this so until I figure it out: ^_^

You guys aren't my nakama anymore :(

Later this arc, there will be a climactic battle that will restore it all.
We're awfully meta like that

I wonder when we will get a third girl

Hopefully soon. I hate when they get introduced too late; it's hard to take them seriously as competition when they're not there from Day 1. Then again, maybe I should read The Town Where You Rage or whatever; new stupidity all day!
 
Blazer Drive vol 1-2

Pretty cool so far. Love the concept of mystickers. It's such a standard JRPG-type magic item like materia, but the way it's used is neat. Definitely a cooler concept than 666 Satan imo.

WSJ really should let Kishi's brother do something. He could probably make Naruto a lot better.

It's good to get that rage out. Derp Town and Bakuman level it all out letting you give breaks to series that are borderline.

Worthy sacrifices indeed.

Due to this post, I will start this manga. I enjoyed 666 Satan... until the tourney/timeskip. where I just couldnt stand to follow it any further. It was Claymore'd. But I'm definitely a fan of the less known younger Kishimoto.
 
Fairy Tail

I'm hoping there's a reason why the 113 guilds number was thrown around because other than that, that was all kinds of stupid, cutting it down to 8.
 
Shingeki no Kyojin 29

More people need to read this series. D: So good.

You can add me to the existing readers (plus flawfuls since he recommended it to me)

Yea was not a fan of that time skip and the only thing i really liked was the fact that Ball got better.
 
I've been meaning to go and read 666 Satan. Does it really get that bad? I had stopped around ~30-40 chapters in for ... reasons I can't quite remember.

I wouldn't say flat out bad. I liked it all the way through for the most part. The only major problems are the timeskip happening at a really weird time and the ending feeling rushed. All loose ends were tied up for the most part, but it still only got like 1 page of closure.

Not really, but there would be odd chapters of nothing happening, followed by a chapter of TOO much happening to make sense. I couldn't follow what was going on anymore. If I pressed on I'm sure I would've looked back on the series more fondly.
 
Nononono

The "nyan" part had me rolling. So good. I love the trans guy.

So yeah, next round. Emperor's plan sounds pretty good to me. I really wanna see Nono do something again.

Kurogane

I.. I know I'm dumb, but really, for the life of me I can't understand that move.

Is this something incredibly obvious or something? Why can't I understand what he did?

This really bugs me.
 
@666 Satan: Guess I'll just get into it when I have some free time. Maybe I'll remember why I stopped?!

Which chapter? 17?

I plan on reading it daily sometime. Will have to be after Kenshin though.

I actually went through both of them before (years ago) but I think I remember less about them than if I went into them fresh honestly. If negative memory is even a thing god knows I would have it.

Which chapter? 17?
Nah 18, was just released

Looks like a quick left handed thrust coming from low and to the side. Normally, I imagine, there's no way you could change the direction to match the opponent's dodge, but he has his sharingan. Plus, it seems that the fact that it's one handed and sort of weak makes it easier to adjust the direction mid attack.

I'm trying to follow it with my hand but I'm not seeing it. If you hold the stick straight out, and do a left straight kinda spin, the stick just points down (and the arc in which it moves down is from above and not the side).

This right here is impossible to me. When my hand is like that my elbow is down (i.e. I didn't spin) and when my elbow is like that my hand is down (i.e. I would have to make the hand not spin while the elbow spins which is... well, it's an entertaining idea)
Now that I look at this objectively it seems to me like the entire spin is useless when all he needed to do was move his wrist a little bit. The spinning is, like, completely unrelated to anything.

I might be a mutation. A mutation specifically built to be able to achieve this move without spinning. Oh man.

It's probably possible and I'm just being a silly grape juice truck. Oh well, not gonna analyze this any more than I already have!

Well, the spinning of the arm is from forcing the thrust off course; jab forward and shift your arm to the right mid thrust and your wrist should turn with the motion. He's chasing the thrust so it's his arm moving to the right while still thrusting forward that's causing that rotation. Doing it faster should get more of the rotation there. It feels awkward, though, and I'm actually kind of surprised he could do that based off his previous difficulty just lifting the damn thing :x

LOL, man I forgot about this series. Dropped it after they beat the ice chick.
