God this manga depresses me to no end. It's a great read though, and I highly recommend it.

How good is BLAME!?
I've read nine chapters so far and it seems to be pretty good. I kinda like that it's not so text heavy, it keeps some mystery, because not everything is explained in the first five chapters.

Oh yes, I'm already doing that. The art and direction is so good, the story seems to be interesting and some of the cyborgs or ... things are pure nightmare fuel.
I love it.

BLEACH特別企画!!
3週連続で「BLEACH」の謎を追究!!第1弾は作品に秘められた裏テーマや、失われた17ヶ月の護廷十三隊に迫る!!
Special Bleach!!
Behind the series of 17 months absence in Gotei 13 for 3 consecutive weeks.

So we won't have regular chapters but we'll have a special bits on SS. They don't call it a chapter so my guess is it's a mini-series like in omake.
So it would be like Kakashi Gaiden.

If you'd move Alabasta to number one we'd be in near agreement.
Hopefully it's hilarious like the old Bleach.
That's what it seems like from people. No bounty raise, no notoriety, no new crew member on an island secluded from the main world. I liked it personally, it was a fun romp.
And as someone said Norland's backstory was great.

Yeah, it will most likely be good interactions between the character and some bickering between the captains, since it´s not part of the main story.
My Girl volume 5
I've had to wait a long while for this to finally come out here, but in the end it was published and I was able to read it.
I think it completes beautifully the whole story, highlighting the human traits of both father and daughter: they're nice, they're sweet, but they are also so flawed.
The last chapter was the perfect closure and I also enjoyed the little blurd Mizu Sahara had in between the last chapters.
Definitely a great read for those that liked Bunny Drop's first part, whenever scanlators decide to finish translating this.

Nothing gets explained but read it for the cool art and action scenes.
Freezing (ch 63)
-lol
...your answer would differ from ours Elizabeth.
A handful of pages talked about multi-hair colored girl continuing with the experiments. Cover girl showed many shocked faces. But enough of that shit.
Then its a high page count, rightfully so, with nude shots of Chiffon, Mably, and Satellizer showering. I'm forgetting the story... It ends with Chiffon playing mastermind knowing Satellizer is going to step in. Mably is a stubborn princess though.
Ch in 3 (showering, boobs, planning)

Damn, that's really a bummer. I usually don't like that and wanna know everything at the end.
Shaman King 85-86
Well damn. He just burned her soul? Well, damn.
I don't think I've ever seen a series with post-death, where characters are killed for good. There would always be heaven or something.
Medaka Box
Chapter 128 was so meta. To think they'd use the Kumagawa popularity polls.
The game looks pretty fun too. Too many rules/players but with 2 players it seems pretty interesting.
Buyuden
What? What the fuck?
I never even considered that she won't heal. Fucking crazy. No way. Dude.
Isamu's kicking extreme amounts of ass but still there's no way she's not healing. I need more Moka fights in this manga man, what the hell.
Probably a feint and I'm just losing myself over nothing. Hope so.

Definitely Davy Back Fight (so far) but I could imagine Oda making it more important with time

Great chapter. Justin was dying before he was fighting Stein. I hope the new DS play bigger role. I want to see what the lantern guy and the African guy can do. I was hoping to see more of Stein vs. Justin. I guess that will happen next chapter. The ending is WTF. Noah wants the Kisshin as well. Damn, now i am expecting Medusa to show up as well.

Actually it has been a month. SE comes out usually on the 11th. Last month the raws come out on the 11th but there was no translators, so the fans did the translation. This month it was handled very well, and the translation is very good and high quality.

No. 6 chp 10
Shion and Nezumi's convo at Inukashi's was hilarious. Nezumi always does seem irritated. Otherwise, straight like the anime.

That tankobon art is very pretty, apparently the artist of Sacred Blacksmith, but doesn't resemble it from what I've seen. Would read if brought over.

Hody Jones and co. definitely felt like Davy Back to me in terms of mediocre enemies and most of the fight seeming like a joke
Davy Back arc was redeemed directly after the fight with Aokiji. Hopefully this arc is the same

Holyland 141-150:
Really late on this, but it's been a while since I've been hyped up for a Holyland fight(s). I was already interested in the fact that the bad guys this time are Mixed Martial Artists, but now they've thrown in the attempted kidnapping angle and Kamishiro being pissed off, which rarely happens.
I still can't get over the drop in art quality that this manga has taken, especially when you go back and look at the older chapters. It's not a horrible drop or anything but I wish the artist would take a "step back" and get the quality of the art back up.

Doubutsu no Kuni vol 1
Cute animal-themed manga from the Gash Bell dude. Interesting so far, but the fuckin genius baby that can talk and contemplate deep concepts with no explanation at all is breaking my suspension of disbelief. Oh well, maybe it will be explained down the line.

HSD Kenichi 460
That's two chapters in a row where Kenichi's attempts to get through to Mui have failed. Dare I hope the writer has a different resolution in mind than the standardsudden realization? (Someone find the official trope name for that) "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight victory.

I'm glad the laws of dramatic timing and bad decision making don't exist in the real world.
"How does she know?" Maybe because you blatantly stalled for all of an eternity before answering her question, dumbass?
You know what would be funny? Trying to get advice from the Girl/Dating thread based on the more plausible scenarios and choices from romance manga.

Oh, so we're playing more games this time around? Cool. I got a good chuckle from Kumagawa asking if it was ok if the Election Committee head and himself could just be regular friends regardless of the outcome, that's the first time he's ever said as much without lies attached to someone else since his intro, correct?
Soul Eater
Damn, Justin got bodied fraaaay. This fight on the moon is progressing at a quick clip. Also, fuck yeah Noah. I miss his older character design though, that plaid and cap getup was boss. Also, yea, there's no way all these big players are here and Medusa isn't showing up, unless this isn't the final arc, which I still think is the truth.

Noah being there means he will die soon, and this time for good. I think the manga will end with as many chapters as FMA and not more, maybe less. Stein has also foreshadowed to die in this arc.

Speaking of which, it's on break again this week.
Miu invisible crotch shots went up a few in this chapter. I guess Kenichi doesn't know what he is looking at. Too pure pure boy.

Gasp... a decent translation? Finally. To be honest, I didn't like this chapter as much as everyone else, primarily because of Stein's negative character development (Did they just totally disregard the last arc regarding his insanity factor) and the design itself wasn't my cup of tea. This chapter was also moving at a crawls pace regarding kids fight, and does he really need to use insanity to deal with her? He's strong enough as is :/
The only good part about this chapter was Justin getting whats coming to him. He's going to die soon, but not without a bang methinks.

You mean you don't care about the return of the only interesting characters in this manga? Becasuse I do. A Town Where You Live is about to suck a little less!
A long time ago, though I might re-read to refresh myself. All I remember from it is crazy ass shit and weird commentary on Japanese culture or something along those lines. I'd rather read something new cause it's been a while since I've done that.
