Hunter x Hunter 1-10

So it's basically the Exam Arc from Naruto right now. I wonder if this or Naruto's exam came first, considering all of HxH's hiatuses.

The exam arc in hunter x hunter is a lot more cleverly written, creative and interesting, it's less tournement but more challenges and trials.

you should check out the original anime it's god tier.
 
Bakuman

This is stupid. Just let fucking Zombie Gun anime premier in the fall instead of summer. Your manga won't die out immediately the moment Reversi anime airs.

And now we await the bullshit reason why this manga won't end.

I wanna buy this

Bakuman

Really no reason to hate what just happened. It could have gone way, way worse.

Their reaction to the anime was worthy too. Go whoa on that shit like there's no tomorrow.


It was a joke referencing the controversy thread.

EDIT:
You enjoy calling me weird don't you? ;)
Oh sorry man, I didn't really follow that one

still pretty weird though
 
Eureka 7: Astral Ocean manga 1, so good.


Just read it...
I take it that (Note: if you want to wait for the anime, do not read)
Eureka is Ao's mom and Renton is his gramps.

It was pretty hard to follow and the translation was a little rough, but it was decent I suppose.
 
Hey brehs. I want to catch up on one of two manga that I am months behind on. And I have time to catch up on one in the next week. Based on where the mangas are now, which should it be: Beezlebub or TWGOK?

Haven't read TWGOK but Beelzebub has had consistently hilarious chapters for the last few weeks and the new "arc" so to speak has been great so far.
 
I'd suggest Beelzebub. It's much better for reading weekly, while TWGOK is better for reading all at once. Might as well let TWGOK build up some more.

I think Beezlebub is the best ongoing Shonen manga atm. I could never get past a few chapters of TWGOK.

Eureka Seven AND Astral Ocean spoilers ahoy:

I have no idea where you got that from. That wouldn't even make sense - Eureka is pretty clearly his mom, but I didn't see anything in that chapter that referenced Renton at all. Moreover, that scenario making sense would require that Eureka and Renton got a divorce and then Eureka had sex with Renton's son with another woman.

Yeah, no. I think can safely assume Renton is either the father OR Eureka just lived a lot longer than Renton did since she isn't human.
 
Liar Game 146:

I'm going to assume that the consequences of the lie Kimura told is going to play out later in the game? Because as it stands I don't see the point of it if everyone is still willing to team up with Nao (especially with her trying to sacrifice her self again at the end of the chapter).

Bakuman 164:

Genuinely surprised but still skeptical about Saiko and Shujin's anime. Definitely happy by the "possible" story progress but I just can't see the authors not trying to extend the story somehow.

Silver Spoon 27:

The most light hearted yet fucked up chapter of Silver Spoon...ever? Yeah, let's go with that.

Nisekoi 11:

That "key troll" pissed me off. Nothing more to add about the chapter as I don't think any real progress was made besides "glasses girl" getting more suspicious.
 
Silver Spoon: 27

This is a horrible series to read when you're hungry.

Especially given what's going on in the story. You feel bad for feeling hungry. It's the worst feeling.
 
Hunter x Hunter 11-20

Oh my god this is so much better than Naruto's exam arc. (I really can only compare it to that.) Netero is awesome, Killua is fucking messed up, HOLY SHIT HISOKA.

The "majority rule" thing is awesome.
 
Bakuman:
Heishi is pretty awesome. His speech at the end was great. I'm glad to see Mashiro and Takagi finally managed to get an anime. I was kind of expecting it to get put off, so I'm glad I was wrong.
 
Bakuman

Bakuman

We are so close to getting an anime and now Nizuma wants to ruin it.

Wow, there's no pleasing you is there?

Having an anime does increase the popularity of the source work, so it'll be interesting to see how Eiji will combat that without one of his own. I'm guessing there's only one spot because the series will be in the same timeslot Crow was in, and it'll be a series that doesn't have seasons (unlike the Bakuman anime) but just goes right through to the end without breaks.

I'm very pleased that they got an anime so the manga is closing in a bit faster to its end.
 
pre-ordering Shonen Jump Alpha

You need to make an account before you can order. This account makes an automatic profile page for you. You need to find the privacy controls and set everything to private otherwise your details are splashed all over the web. Lame.

Everything is done through paypal, you can't use a credit card directly. Lame.

There are separate Viz Media apps for iPad and iPhone. Since they're both free I'm not sure why they don't just have a universal app. Lame.

Signing into the iOS app gives you a free Volume 1 of something. Hmm, what to read? EDIT: Viz Media app has already crashed several times on me. Lame.

wait wait wait wait wait

there is a sequel?
 
So I read Hunter x Hunter over again, this time with my fiance. She has caught up and loves it. She calls it her "crack". She loves the dynamic between Killua and Gon. And she was literally moved to tears with the conclusion of the arc with the King and Komugi. Tears.



So together, we have read the Masterbation Kurosawa manga and Hunter x Hunter. I wonder what series I should have her read next.
 
E7AO

When the anime was announced, I posted:

"I'm sure they can dig up a callow, selfish, and stupid fool for a lead character once again."

They're on the right track. He's emo enough. He just needs to scream wah after piloting the mech and run away 3-5 times.
 
Minimum vol 1

Not the Maya Miyazaki manga I wished someone translated, but I'll take whatever.
Itou takes the verbal abuse too easily. Haru has a really bitchy personality.
But I really like Maya Miyazaki's art, so even such a weird story (about a girl coming out of the DVD Drive of a PC and a body the size of a bug) with lousy characters is enough for me.

Cool, I'll sign up for that right awa-

Where will I be able to access Weekly SHONEN JUMP Alpha?
You can access Weekly SHONEN JUMP Alpha from the U.S. and Canada.
Oh yeah, I forgot.

Even more Lame.. It doesn't say androids
 
Hohzuki Island Vol 1

Started reading this with no prior knowledge about what the main plot would be about, and i have to say I'm rather impressed, as the first volume has been a pretty nice read.
A horror/mystery story that ends up pitting adults against kids on an isolated island.
 
I am glad that i read a lot of manga or waiting for Bleach would have been much more painful than it already is. Well the small Bleach info make the wait much easier too. This is the last week before the new chapter is out. I can´t wait.
 
Then why would you say it's stupid that Eiji got the shaft for once?

My main problem is that I find the conflict they created to be stupid. When you got a manga selling about a million copies without an anime, then it's really not a big deal that you don't get an immediate anime adaptation. Sure Reversi sales will jump from 500k to 1 million but it's just a temporary advantage that will be negated the instant Zombie Gun anime airs.
