Hunter X Hunter
this is awesome. this is the type of expansion I've always expected from these manga. in fact, earlier today I was thinking about how in Naruto all we've seen is the world of ninja villages. It's easy to assume the strongest characters would be in those ninja villages, or the strongest characters would be hunters, or what have you. But why? at most these worlds are really only continents, or a fraction of the world as a whole.
Hunter X Hunter exploiting that idea is awesome. And while it's a tad kitsch, who knows if other continents around the world don't have their own 'Hunter' systems, concepts for nen, etc. It's like different nations forming their own fighting styles and technologies independently. If the next arc is Gon exploring the world, there's a lot of room to grow stronger.
I just don't want wars or anything. Keep to exploring, politics, rules, RULES, MORE RULES AAHHH
And a time jump could be cool. If people are put off by Gon and Killua separating, maybe pick up when they meet up again after a couple of years. Gon went off exploring in the greater world, maybe Killua went off in another direction with Alluka. There's a lot of material to work with.

I've read, am reading, or read and dropped everything on this list.
I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

Now this is a good example of why the ignore function is just not worth it
son i am disappoint
I think everyone has bet on one of those two. The only other possible candidate is A.
Gaara obviously isn't dying, and Mei has absolutely zero development so her death would be pointless.
Depends if you care what society thinks.
Who uses the ignore function?Now this is a good example of why the ignore function is just not worth it

Yea well, I have to catch up on my current stuff first. I read alphabetically so TWGOK for example is like 6 ch's back.
Such a hater, this one is.
I don't mind world expansion...just not on Hunter X Hunter. I don't think Togashi can deliver the huge expectations readers were expecting on the new world. Maybe this is just something that shows "Ging's adventure never ends".
Very surprised about Gon parting with Killua though.

Loved the chapter, it's great to see Togashi set the direction for the series from this point on. This was such a good chapter, I can actually see the scene being animated like the old anime with an instrumental version of ohayou running in the background while he talks.
Also, yesss! People are getting into Kongou Bancho. Great manga. I kinda wished it actually went on a little longer but that last volume was epic.

I dunno...maybe if this were years ago but I see this being a huge setup for disappointment. I don't see him being able to do this for the years needed to really make such a huge development work
I actually saw this pointed out on another forum, and was kind of amazed. Togashi basically hinted at this in the very first chapter of HxH in the first 2 pages.
I do agree, though, that I have no idea how he's going to handle this. There's already tons of plot lines with the Ryodan, Kurapica, Jairo, Pariston and his million ants, Killua and Illumi, etc and now we have a whole new world.

Thank god for Amazon is all I can say. Granted my purchases are nowhere near as bad as people who buy the volumes with the creepy loli stuff plastered on the covers.
I would really like yamamoto is die. Not that I don't like him but i think it would add alot to the story instead of all the good guys living through every fight. Could add some chaos in SS if yamamoto dies

So you did not notice how Ichigo was analyzing the situation and he only released bankai so he can find out more about Ivan? Ok then.

This is pretty fun. Kuzumi is a great protagonist for this kind of setting.
Gonna be so painful when I get to the non-ending.

Parallax
best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
Yes it will. Whats to stop manga artists from coming back to unfinished series? Is there a mandate or is it just frowned upon?

Well it's not like it never happens. Shaman King, To-love Ru, Alita, probably some other things. I just think it's unlikely when it got cancelled because of ratings in the first place and the guy is 3 for 3 with Jump series that got the axe.
Anything could happen of course and since he's done with Kagami no Kuni, maybe there's hope. I wouldn't hold my breath though.
Nothing to stop him from going back, there are plenty of examples.

She can be amusing as comic relief, yeah, but Lucy is also a competent fighter (though those summons can be sketchy for sure...
), too, and actually does fight regularly and wins most of the time. That is NOT normal for shonen manga female characters, it really isn't, not on either count...Erza's mostly a good character, but her attitude in the Tower of Heaven arc is pretty bad... sure it's explained, but I do not like that degree of hopelessness/surrender. The rest of the time though Erza's a good character. It is pretty lame how some convenient excuse always keeps her away from fighitng final bosses even though she's supposedly somewhere around Natsu's power level (powered up Natsu), though, but oh well.
Yeah, that is pretty stupid. He's one of their guild's strongest members, but because all of his powerups are temporary, he never gets the status he should have, because, well, the MC in a shonen has to be an underdog of some kind, right?
Mx0:
The series was given the axe by Jump. So in order for it to come back, Jump would have to agree to bring the manga back since they have rights to the series, which is very unlikely if it was canceled due to ratings.
Sket Dance 179-181:
It took almost a year, but we finally got past chapter 180 in Sket Dance! Maybe in two years we'll finally catch up to the Japanese releases?
All three chapters were good in their own way. 179 for wrapping up the kidnapping story from the previous chapter, 180 was fun to read again and easily the best because of the Gintama cross over, and 181 was great for Switch and Roman's guest appearance.

Surprisingly bearable once you know it's coming.
Darkness 5
Oh, what's the point. Look, man. I get that you have your needs as an author. I accept that. I can compromise. I can give you a couple of pages here and there.
But this much
plot
They hold the rights to whats been published. Battle Angel and Trigun both started in Jump magazines and made the jump (no pun intended) to other publishers. The original Trigun rights were later bought out and republished by his new publisher. Just deducing from that but I assume its the same across the board for Shueisha.
It still hurts now =/. I imagine it could've gotten really good , or flopped poorly but it never got to reach that stage of development.
So do you need buckets or a shower?
I think I've only read (or watched) about a fourth of those. I should check out more of these, since I've liked the ones I did read.
Why did I click?!

To Love Ru is enjoyable and fun, School days is School Days, I don't see the connection...
To each his own, I guess. I'm pretty sure its a running sarcastic gag among Jump mangaka to call it super interesting.

Is this series any good? I like the art style, might give it a read if it's worthwhile.
The art is great, and the story is decent, you should give it a try.

HxH
Good chapter would have been so much better if the art was good.
I was always wondering when going to see more of the HxH world but it took so long .
Still if Togashi did not have so many breaks we would have gotten to this over 6 years ago and knowing he going to take more has my hype down .

Reborn!
Well, that was stupid. I guess it probably means Hibari and Byakuran will be the 2 last joining members for Tsuna's team, since I don't recall the rules prohibiting that.
Excited at seeing Vindice comes in, ever since we saw they had an Arcobelano in the last arc, I've been wondering why exactly they were not invited to partake in this contest. Looks like that'll change.

Sure, its being used as an investigative device. That's much better? How about the last 50 times he used it 5-10 seconds into a fight? It's just routine at this point. I'm still waiting for when Ichigo uses bankai when he is late for school.
Hajimete no Aku (ch137)
-Punch in the face tag.
HnA going in there with some crazy game of tag shit. School festival is over so they have a 12hr tag session orchestrated by the president to goose the 100k yen prize from everyone for himself. Perverted/shady president is best. The justice fighters step in and need to capture everyone. I don't know why I enjoy reading this manga so much. Probably cause it doesn't play up a particular audience and feed to them.
ch in 3 (tag, festival, rigged)
..well he should woudn't want be later for school now, but doesn't he leave his body behind to go soul reaper mode ..hmm am not even sure about that anymore.
I don't see much wrong with going bankai like changing your socks except for it makes it less cool cause he doesn't save it for later to turn the fight around "now time to show you my true power", but if your going to fight an enemy might aswell go overkill to get those extra overkill points.
to be fair the enemy did spam attacks on him, so he needed to go super for the speed.

One Piece
Just a random question but do people still hate Franky's new design in One Piece? I hated it at first but...he's just too awesome to hate!
And Brook's been growing on me too. I mean, just watching him step over the decimated bodies while sipping tea...
Hunter x Hunter
I hope that world map wasn't to scale and was more of an exaggeration because it's a bit ridiculous/dumb. Creatures larger than the current continents, giant trees, and no one can see them?!
I never hated it to begin with.
Man I can't wait to see where HxH goes from here, shit is gonna be awesome.
Can't they still carry around their physical body in soul form? He could also get Urahara to make him a gigai he can dump in his locker. But if it was ever discovered...
It's not necessarily not cool but just routine. Some power-ups in manga have conditions that make it difficult to trigger. Others just keep them rare for numerous reasons. Bankai is one where you just have to flip the switch. So you start to wonder why not just dump into it right away. Is it less tiring in shikai? Does Ichigo have fun dispatching low-level hollow longer? Sadistic fuck...
Hollow form was controlled, bankai was not. So yea, changing socks and it gets routine e.g. not as exciting.
