Bakuman 165:

He's not Nakai 2, he's the Nakai before Nakai. He's their awful artist classmate who was only capable of drawing moeblob garbage, and the implication is that he can spill the beans that one of the girls in the audition is the girlfriend to one half of Ashirogi Muto and thus it'd be favoritism if she gets picked.

I KNOW who the character is. Originally he was just a perverted skinny kid who wanted Shujin to work with him and who Shujin punched the crap out of for insulting Saiko, back when Shujin was a cool character. Not that this comment was necessary considering upandaway just explained this further up on the page.

However I'm calling him "Nakai 2" because he's been turned into another annoying evil fat ass, and Nakai was and still is the originally annoying Bakuman fat ass.

He was also the person they called on when Aoki was looking for an artist for her second series, He ended up being a total creep towards Aoki and she turned him down and when he won't listen this time Fukuda punched him.
 
Bakuman has no reason to exist right now.

I'm fairly certain that was Nakai himself.
 
Is there any lovable fat character that gets a lot or decent amount of love? It seems like fat characters in Manga are always depicted as despicable, lolicon-loving, or generally abhorrent perverts without no good points.

Only exception I can think of is Mitsuru Adatchi's works--but even he cannot escape from "beautiful characters = hero, ugly characters = bad people" plague.
 
Biscuit Hammer, of course.

I think the big man ended up with the snake girl . . . second best girl in the series, by far.

The chicks were all over this guy right here

But he wasn't really fat for the majority of the manga.
 
Vagabond.

I just started reading this and I can put it down. No manga has ever had such a grasp on me since Bastard! and Berserk.

Now I get why Evilore had such a boner for Miyamoto Musashi.

Yeah, finished. It's good shit, enjoy.

Read it. Close to the best thing I have ever read.

Hmmm.... Early chapters were fine and unique, I'll give it that, but from what I have read until chapter 25..... my honest opinion? "The best thing" seems like an exaggeration. Maybe the future chapters will change my opinion though,

Takehiko Inoue's art is unsurpassed, but in Vagabond I always thought he very often used unnecessarily large panels to display his drawings. Yes, it's bloody good art, but thanks to that the story always moved slowly and a chapter can be blazed through very quickly.

It does take a while to kick into gear. Give it some more time.
 
Silver Spoon is a very enjoyable manga.

Vagabond

Great manga, cant believe I missed on this for so long, in 2 days read 257 chapters was hoping that its finished cause I hate waiting for new releases after reading so much at once.
Another "samurai" manga I liked is Shigurui.

Besides Shimaki from The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer, off the top of my head there's Kurita from Eyeshield 21 and Choji from Naruto.
 
Gamaran

Nerd samurai beats jock samurai.
Lesson: know your muscles.

Blue Exorcist

Finally, Rin is not impotent. This arc dragged a lot.
 
The Sauce? Finally this manga will go from trying to be entertaining to fucking stupid mindless entertaining! YES.

Not looking at Bleach spoilers. I've waited three weeks so I can wait a bit longer to be surprised.

Zoro: "Nothing...Nothing happened"

Well obviously it was my opinion lol, so the best thing I have ever read is true considering I didn't read that much. I am genuinely surprised by the maturity of the of the story (yet presented in a lighthearted way) and how relatable all the characters are.
 
Someone post the spoilers please, im at work and everything is blocked(except GAF of course).
Naruto's haven't been completely translated:

Kakashi and Gai are talking about Naruto's growth. Tobi seems to do something with his fan. Shikaku requests that all the other Alliance Shinobi(that are available, I imagine) rush to Naruto's aide, which is followed by some monologue about Naruto from all the Rookies. Chapter ends with some intensifying lightning storm, along with Sasuke's appearance in a two-page spread.

As for Bleach:

Soul Society is in an emergency situation.
The research and development institute is in chaos, mayuri seems calm

2 new shinigami with afro shinigami (kurumadani??) heads to the real world
hollows shows up
"good morning!" looks like a new shinigami looking Ichigo shows up and greets them


Spoilers for One Piece are out now too. Don't see any translations yet.

Awesome
 
Here's the complete summary:

537 : The Road to Radiance.

Naruto has been entrusted the 9 names.

Tobi : Difficult...names ? So what ? Naruto : Could it be ...you don'tknow ? Tobi : ?

Hachibi : Huh !

Naruto : Maybeeeeee ...Nah,I won't tellyou !

Gai : Seeing how Naruto managed to progess and grow up like this ... makes me look like an old senile man.

Kakashi: What ? that's not like you. I don't say that often but ... Aren't you the one who said our youth is far from being over ? But since we came here ...

Gai : Stop. Don't say anything unnecessary.

Kakashi: Now That'smore likeyou, Gai.

Tobi : Thisface ... When Tobi grabs his Fan, water starts to drop.

Tobi : Sweat ? No, it's rain. That's it. Fighting thoses guys shouldn't make me sweat. Naruto is just a test to Sasuke. Thoses guys are supposed to be just entertainment to me.

I fullyunderstand their powers. This uneasyness doesn't come from their powers. Then what is it ? No, it doesn't matter to me. Naruto or whatever or whoever doesn't matter to me.

Once this war is over, they won't have any future nor anything left. All will become futile.

Communication Team:

ComA : In... Incredible. Did you felt what I felt ? ComB : Thisis unbelievable. There's no mistake. It was the power of the Nine Tails !

Ao : Indeed. ( But this is a little different from what I expected. )

Shikaku : What's the status ?

Ao : Uzumaki Naruto drove Tobi into a corner with some huge power. Thischakrais unreal. But maybe they're under pressure. Counting Kakashi, Gai and Bee too, they're just FOUR !

Shikaku : Inoichi! Pleasetalkdirectly to everybody in the Reinforcements Squad and give them the status about Naruto's Team. 15 seconds should be enough.

They're stillfighting despitesbeing just 4, we must do anything to support them.

ComC : Everyone ? My chakra network will never be able to dealwith thestrain.

Inochi : I can get you 10 seconds.

ComC : Inochi !

Shikaku : Sorry, but this is important. don't let me down during thoses 10 secs.

Inochi : You could more polite while asking. Let me handle this. ( Message from HQ : Important Status report. Uzumaki Naruto is giving all he can. the Naruto we're supposed to protect along with Bee. Everyone is fighting with every last dip of their powers. Same for Kakashi and Gai. And everyone in the alliance is fighting with the same thought in mind. )

Ninjasrunning.

Inochi : ( We're on the verge of winning this war ! ) Inochi gets a nosebleed ( A serious one ).

Shikaku : ...

Inochi *panting *: Haaa ... heee ...I knew it, you're a poor talker, and I gave you 20 secs !

ComC : Commander !

Shikaku : Indeed.( That'show you feeling are strong, my friend. )

Inochi : Sorry.

---------

Hinata : Naruto-kun ! I always tried to follow you, to catch up to you ... but once this war is over. I won't try to catch up to you anymore. Next time I'll be right next to you while I grap your hand and walk with you. Please ... wait for me.

Kiba : SinceI know you Naruto, you always marked anything. I'll leave the fighting with Madara to you until I get here.

Shino : We'regoing to support Naruto perfectly. And there's no because.

Shikamaru : That Naruto, he's doing all right. He's Naruto after all. I can't imagine how reckless he'll be but ...HaaaMy head already hurts.

Chouji : Naruto's as dumb as I'm fat, I know that but ... I can't say I'm surprised. ( Wait for me, Dumber Naruto ! I'll be there in a flash ! )

Shikamru : He'snot thetypeto think calmly about a plan, I know. ( That's why I'm coming, wait for me Naruto ! I'm on my way )

Ino : Thank you, dad. He transmitted to us Naruto's strong will and fellings. Don't worry dad, we don't let them in vain. )

Tenten : I wonder if Gai-sensei is okay. I wonder if he's protecting Naruto. Kakashi is with them so it should be okay.

Sai : If it wasn't for the heavy rain, I could use my ink summons to go to Naruto ...

Lee : If you have the time to complain,you need to speed up Sai-san.

Sai : Right. ( Is that how a friend feels ? I think I understand clearly now, Naruto. )

Sakura : ( Naruto, you saved Konoha and now you're trying to save the Shinobi World. You always always end up in bad situations doing most of the job. but this time whatever you say, I'll be there. And I'm not alone. We will fight alongside everyone. )

The Rookies to the rescue !

The rain is pouring but the sun can be seen in the clouds. Footsteps can be seen on the ground.

the rain is betting stronger. Lightning crash down. Uchiha Sasuke is here.

Haruyuki from Accel World is the epitome of this.
 
Naruto has easily become the strongest character in the manga, he's surpassed basically everyone. Itachi, minato, all the kage, at this point Sasuke would need a godly ass pull for him to even be a threat to naruto.

You and I both know he's going to get this.
 
FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU-1.gif


I can't see my reaction being anything but, given the level of strength Naruto has recently displayed and what Sasuske would need to "catch up".

We all know Naruto is deliberately going to fight at 50% just to have a fair fight with his "friend". It's the only excuse that make sense, even if its a stupid one.
 
One Piece spoilers

So they encounter a new character that is only the lower half of a person, he runs away and Luffy asks him to join? Yep, that sounds like the OP I know and love ^^

Also, the guys on the ship apparantly get captured and a Shichibukai seems to be around.
