I'm 100% sure the Sage was an Uzumaki
they say so outright in the manga, the uzamaki are blood relatives to the senju.

-Promotion!
Ever read a series where the MC can just yell "promotion" and get powered up? Well...you get my point. Promotion, SSJ3 Gokou!
So yea, the power-up stuff is stupid though the chess piece theory isn't. And the manga/anime are all disjointed. Anime is dumb cause of all the nudity but the manga is leaving sections out of the story. The manga also has more clever action like the priest deflecting the hit and not getting pummeled like the show. So I have to watch/read both to get the full experience.
This is actually a pretty decent series for one so loaded with fan-service. It has demons, heretic angels, nudity, blood, murder, and all that good stuff. MC also wants his own demon harem, which you have to respect.

Evangeline or bust.
I did catch up to Negima recently and it's been really fucking boring. Hope it picks up again but its heydays are probably over now.

Negima 351
I've been reading this thing since pretty much the beginning and the chapter was actually kinda touching. Particularly seeing the class roster again.
Anyway, now that
Negi can hook up with someone better, i.e. nearly anyone else Nodoka or Evangeline.

Asuna is gone hahahaha
The Sage existed before the Uzumaki. It's basically confirmed Naruto is distantly related to him anyway since the Senju and Uzumaki were said to be related.

Jojo's bizarre adventure!

I'm going to have to get a box of Kleenex to read this.

Well the Kishimoto interview was nice, fan of the scriptwriting in How to Train Your Dragon...I dont know something felt off with the entire movie. (and 500 Days of Summer).
Shonen Jump Alpha is a nice start, but I felt it is pretty barebones, but for 99 cents, I guess its a decent deal, needs more content. (and a replacement for the bi monthly free yugioh/naruto cards).
Wish they would stop Art of the Multiple Shadow Dopplegangers and move to Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu.

I don't know if anyone is even reading this. It's by Arakawa (Full Metal Alchemist) and it's damn funny. Anyway, good chapter as usual. Hachiken doing his own thing. I love how the moral issues about killing livestock for meat are resolved with: "THIS TASTES SO GOOODD!!!". That's probably my solution too. Meat is awesome.

Plenty of love for Silver Spoon in this thread, actually. Props to Arakawa for coming up with her own take on Moyashimon (and frankly, making it just as interesting without any sort of supernatural powers)
(Speaking of which. Goddamn it Kodansha get off your ass and translate more Moyashimon volumes!)

Both Senju/Uzumaki and Uchiha descend from the Sage.
And Vinland Saga while we are at it.

It's already been stated Senju and Uchiha were descendents of the Sages sons. And Uzumakis are some sort of distant relative. Unless Kishi decides to retcon (again), there's not much to speculate about.

Did *any* Vinland Saga volumes come out?
Man, I wish I knew wtf Kodansha is doing. They even say in the PR that their app is still basically managed by Del Rey.

It's pretty much been spelled out that Naruto and Sasuke represent the Sage's sons who took the different halves of his power.

Wow...fast resolution to that subplot, I expected them to have some stupid competition.
Wonder what'll happen next.

His father being so strong doesn't make sense in the first place, but then again the power levels post future arc make absolutely no sense anyhow.
How are past foes like Varia even a threat when the fact the Vongola have future weapons through the Vongola Box Rings should make them untouchable since that arc made it a point that fighters with out box weapons where simply outclassed.
Tsuna once he unlocked the true potential of his ring curbstomped future Byakuran who was insanely powerful at that point from absorbing so much flames through Ghost.
Never mind that he got a power up AGAIN in the next story arc since he should already be stronger then anyone in the past before that. The fact that his father was able to beat him with ONE punch is absolutely ridiculous.
There are a good few of us reading it. There are two posts about it on the previous page for example.
The whole Pork Bowl story actually made me look up videos of pet pigs and made seriously consider getting one of those micro pigs and naming him (the entirely original I don't doubt) Bacon.

This is fun. It's like Tiger & Bunny if the hero organization was more corrupt than just utilizing sponsorship. Will keep reading.

Yeah kind of a fail on my part there. Never saw much discussion of it before I joined. Guess I never really looked.
Vinland Saga, Holyland and Silver Spoon. I thought these were fairly obscure but it seems there are plenty of people on gaf reading the same things as me
THANK YOU.
Seriously, your post is spot fucking on. The "power levels" post future arc are stupid as fuck. As a matter of fact, every single arc in KHR takes place as if the prior arcs never even happened.
Byakuran was supposed to be the terror of the universe. If Tsuna owned him, got a powerup, then got beat by his dad in one punch by Iemetsu, why the hell couldn't Iemetsu beat Byakuran?
It usually comes out while there are still pages of people arguing about One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach, so it gets sort of drowned out with all the noise.

-Who else is reading this?
Still a charming read. It's not overly dramatic, suspenseful, and contains plenty of silliness. Isana's true form will hang over heads and the shrine's upgrading via proxy wins is fun. A new female character on the last page this chapter?

I wouldn't really say that it's your fault for not looking because this thread can very easily become pages and pages of certain posters arguing about plot points of one the Big Three or just hate fests when fans of the three start slinging poop at each other. Or sometimes a page or two of a One Piece/Oda love fest.Yeah kind of a fail on my part there. Never saw much discussion of it before I joined. Guess I never really looked.

You'll find people talking about other stuff but rarely in the same way One Piece, Bleach, and Naruto are discussed, but there definitely are many people reading all kinds of different series in this thread. Just look at this page. I guess it might just be harder to talk in-depth about other comics like people do with the Big 3 though. That's not to say it never happens because it definitely does with HxH and certain other series.

One week too early. but you could spend the time watching the newest episode as Ichigo epically unleashes his final form fullbring.
OT: Avy is a blast from the past!

Yeah, I've stated before that the future arc really felt like it should have been saved for the end of the series. With the way things unfolded there, every following arc comes off so askew in terms of power levels and the plots are nowhere near as grand. How can they be? How can you possibly set up a more epic premise than what the future arc did? My interest has waned since that arc and really the only thing keeping me going is waiting for the full truth behind the arcebelano plot and the ....mummy guys that guard the prison. I think they begin with a V? Hopefully the former will be addressed by the end of the current arc but I doubt it will fully answer all the questions. I've also bitched about how anyone in the present time could possibly stand up to Tsuna after the power ups and what it took to take down Byakuran in the future arc. It's really de-sensitized me to every fight since. Amano fucked up big time by releasing the future arc when she did.
It's in celebration of being invited to Kristen Bell's birthday party.
I'll eventually go back to Reddish-pink Elena though. Because, bright colors fuck yeah.

The fact that the Shimon family came out of nowhere and fucking rocked them was my "wtf?" moment (though some tried to explain that them now having their rings helped out).
Finished The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer. Nice manga
Awesome.
I always put Biscuit Hammer up there with FMA as one of the best written battle manga.
Come on man, with Negi being immortal and unable to father any children why the hell he go for Nodoka??
Cool! Mine is in celebration of Megaman's Anniversary
of his death
Keep with it, it's slow to start but it will grow on you... plus those backstories.....
It's fast moving and does not get bogged down trying to stretch itself out over long time frames.
What kills me about most battle manga is when they are rehashing tropes from other manga only a few chapters in. You can have the best setup for one ever, but if it's going to be by the book otherwise you can count me out.
Sket Dance 176:
Damn, they didn't even TRY to insert a joke into this chapter. But the serious stories are always a nice change of pace when they're done right. Too bad this story can't last any more than 4 chapters since 180 is the Sket Dance/Gintama team up (I can't even remember how long ago it was I commented on that chapter and we're just now catching up to it).

I really should re-read those. Switch's caught me by complete surprise.
A yuri development?!
Also, the "new girl" is from the first chapter. The committee member he confessed to prior to the story starting (and presumably the inevitable love triangle)

Yeah, this is pretty great. I've always been a fan of "the heroes are the villains" type stories and this pulls it off quite enjoyably.
