How else is someone who just gave birth and clearly in a state of distress supposed to look? At least use another scene of the Red Hot Habenera she had some great looking moments in the previous ep.
I really don't think there's anything wrong with Kushina's face there. She's supposed to look like she's in distress—folks can get pretty dang ugly when they're in distress... ;P
Looks more convincing to me than the standard "yell face" Kishimoto uses in the manga!
All we know is that he fought Hashirama to gain his power, but not why. Hashirama's "power" isn't just about Mokuton, but the incredible physical energy/vitality that lies at the root of it; which is something that the Senju inherited from Rikudou Sennin's younger son. The Rinnegan would be the most likely reason, but then we still have to know why it took so long to happen. Injuries sustained after the battle? "Harvesting" Hashirama's genetic material? The truth about Zetsu, and the composition of Tobi's body will probably reveal why.

No, he didn't. In fact, Mokuton was something he wanted to test out, while he seemed to be already familiar with the Rinnegan.

TacticalFox...when did you get back breh?So....yeah I'm convinced the only way Sasuke doesn't get his ass thoroughly handed to him in any sort of fight against Naruto is to unlock the Rin'negan. ....Goddamit.

man you're late, we had a party and everything
Scanned in english finally? Fuck yes. Although I read the first chapter in a spanish scan a few weeks ago. It seems to be about the identity of Shakespeare though. It started a few years ago when the theory that Shakespeare was a pseudonym became popular. Looking forward to it, the english title seems to be a reference to the "Seven Ages of Man"

Ripping off Love Hina, duh

Well yeah, it's wildly generic romcom using slightly different stock characters than other romcoms have employed, in this case, the "Yakuza heir" stock character.
To Love Ru (END)
The best part was when Rito tripp- WHATEVER RANKING TIME LET'S GO
Momo
Risa
Oshizu (don't judge me)
Run
Riko (don't fucking judge me)
Lala
"Wait till you see Darkness"
Yami
Ryouko
everyone else
But um yeah, hm.
Analyzing Rito's accidents aside (I'm so sorry for that you guys
), and being super interesting aside, I don't think I need to state my opinion or anything.
The last couple chapters were basically the author going "well shit, I'm done anyway, let's go all out" and putting 18 pages of tits.
And Wiseblade you better rank.

You are going to LOVE Darkness.
Do you know the story behind its cancellation on Weekly? Because its much more interesting than the manga itself.

I don't think you understand the use of harsh shadows and lighting to give her face harsh definition for heightened emotion. It's used often in anime, and is extremely appropriate for it's use here. And if anything it definitely shows the animator can draw, landing these harsh shadows on the planes of a person's face is tricky and takes talent. Also, even beautiful women can look uglier in certain lights and angles, an effect that is used here on purpose. Seeing that drawing of her is powerful- it screams fear, desperation, and weakness. A very skilled animator drew it.

So...
I've been meaning to check-out To Love Ru seeing how popular it is... Just curious about its supposed 'controversy' and all that.
.....Bad idea?
Hmm, something about the Yabuki's wife if I am not mistaken?

Best idea, although it would've been better had you hopped on board the Wiseblade + Upandaway group reading of TLR.
Yeah, this manga is all hilarious and straight sad, at the same time. It's a fun read.

THE QUEEN IS BACK, and with a fierceness. A+. A+.
Mercenary Pierre vol 4 (END)
The end to this surprised me a little, because I didn't expect to see Jeanne survive. The trick to save her was half realistic and half unrealistic, but I don't mind. I prefer it with Jeanne saved than burned at the stake. Still, I'm forced to face something that's way too realistic, the idea that she was raped countless times while imprisoned.
All in all it wasn't a bad read.
Bokura wa Itsumo vol 3-4
I'm liking this more and more. I like the change in point of view between the 4 characters in almost every chapter. It helps in making you feel like you're really seeing the various events from their side and so I feel like I get closer to them.
Even the way these events are threated is something I like, with a little bit of drama but not dragged out. For example, Nori in volume 4
I really like that the various dramatic events get played out and resolved in a timely fashion.

is approached by Onohira telling her Haruna spent the past few days with her and they even went to hotels together, as well as other stuff, and Nori's reaction isn't the typical shojo reaction. She doesn't cry over it, she doesn't starts wondering, pondering what she should do and stuff, nope, she jumps down and confronts Onohira, pissed off because Haruna hurt himself because of Onohira, and the whole situation is resolved in that same chapter.

Something like his wife was getting laid by a high school student while he was at work drawing naked anime girls for high school students.
Yes except it was pretty public since she was famous on Niconico and they actually met through there. Haruna was based on the wife, just to make matters worse.

Fairy Tail 270
Eve was so epic. Didnt expect those surprising results, hopefully Fairy Tail gets it together next round. Gray was enjoyable in both chapters of Hidden, and hopefully he gets time to shine in the future, as well as more Gray Lyon action too.
I did laugh so much at the motivation that the characters have if they win for that punishment game.

Fairy Tail
It´s so fun seeing FT get their asses kicked. Die Juvia. I really hope that Flare kicks Lucy´s ass.

But Juvia is the best character. Why would you want her gone?
Fairy Tail
What a fun chapter. It was Incredibly long and full of content, and the ending was rather surprising. The FT B team flashback was pretty funny, especially Gajeel's. Dat Juvia's ass & boobs. Goddamn, she might actually compete with Erza for the hottest character. Hmmmm. I knew FT wouldn't win, but coming in dead last? Poor Grey. He lost the game and was pitied by his teamates. IMO thats even worse than being insulted by the crowd, he must feel like shit.
Awesome chapter, Mashima is on a roll.

Indeed.
Nisekoi 13 - There's what I expected/hoped from the start. Also, they're just adorable.
Shingeki no Kyojin
Dude they destroyed her. What the fuck.
I just want the inner court to shut up already. We need to hear their yapping again? And looks like it'll be more difficult to convince them this time.
But oh well, since we know there are insiders, I suppose new things can still be discovered even inside the walls.
Nisekoi
I'm fine with it, though it does seal Onodera out for real. She's dead now.

Gantz
It would be very stupid if he actually killed off Reika, a character who has actually developed as the series progressed...better if he had killed off the Kuruno clone to be honest. Still, I don't think it is the last we have seen of her. It would be have made more sense if they both died towards the finale to be honest, as a sacrifice, but Gantz likes to be random so who knows

The queen deserves all thy worship. And she goes god-tier in TLRD.
I have not read the chapter. But I think I can confidently state that Onodera got screwed over this chapter based on the above.
Oh yea, no question.

I also have to run back a quote.
I can say that the planets aligned with this one cause two new chaps of Onihime are in the wild after an entire fucking year. I can't take all the credit...but at least 95% is on me.

pretty good so far. The art is amazing. The comedy is good.

It's about the type of person you are.
Seeing one's ranking of TLR is seeing one's true soul.
Haha what. I heard about issues with his wife but really this is the perfect way to end TLR.
I feel bad for the guy though, the fanservice was just harmless silliness!
To be fair "childhood promise" is just about as strong as "transfer student" (maybe just a tad bit less, it's iffy). She had that going for her which was pretty big.
It's all gone, though. GONE. GOOOONE. At least Onodera had a swift death instead of a cruel, long torture
By the way, amazing surprise, to replace Harisugawa... is another fantasy romcom (the week after next week). Jump is going all out with those lately.
Oh great, another mediocre romance manga to read.

I really don't mind all these shonen romcoms, they make a nice change of pace from Kubo/kishi/oda/blah blah blah, but hopefully this one will have more potential then harisugawa.
why are you so jaded.
why are you so jaded.
Cause I keep getting burned out by the best girl losing.
