Hashirama's clone jutsu was probably so perfect that it was identical to asexual reproduction.

Hundreds of Hashiramas are out there, somewhere in the world, believe it.
 
Big Order 6

Possibly my favorite chapter. Eiji quite epic and cool and even handles the girl well. Nice flowed well focused and direct where I wasnt lost in all the details and change of location. Only issue was the bunny ears part, if she truly becomes pregnant and has a baby from Eiji touching her bunny ears...I... worst plot point ever.

I'd say Blood Lad but Beelze is a good choice minus training arc madness.
The other two are good, but there should be more!
Wish I could help ya. I'll probably do one of my "manga searches" soon to locate some good stuff. But I'm so backlogged that it will be awhile.

EDIT:
Huh, apparently I have 22 action shounen reads.

Hunter X Hunter

Except for the scene with Kurapika, this chapter really gave off the feeling of wrapping everything up. I guess Gon and Killua will be put aside for now and it'll be a Kurapika (and possibly Leorio) arc.

Toriko

That is the greatest way to cook food.

The resurrected Hashirama that the Third Hokage fought? Just one of the clones. The real deal is still around watching everything go down just to pass the time.

And the entire forest surrounding Konoha is made of Hashirama clones that are in a suspended animation mokuton state. Just for kicks.
 
Tail Star 1

Rather compelling. In these types of thing I can never be a fan of the light. Darkness always has the more provocative and intriguing powers and minions. In this case, faceless queen of darkness and her spires that litrally pierced the heavens was epic, one panel it looked like they even broke the atmosphere. Fighting is really cool in it too with the guy that fights with his hair and the fighters under her command. Sanagi is cool too, will stick with it.
 
Geez, the continuous weekly "Hashirama/Madara is so hax!" comments are getting old. I mean, really, it's not like it wasn't foreshadowed. We had seen before in glimpses of the past how powerful these men were, so much so that Madara's name alone was able to start a war.

Next chapter will be interesting. Though I wish Kishi would return to the Tobi fight, but I'm worried he won't until Kabuto is dealt with.

Yeah, we saw a glimpse of Hashirama's power when he got his ass kicked by Hiruzen. Now, he's the God of shinobi and the strongest ninja in history besides the Sage of Six Paths.

And the fact is their hax are just lame. Hashirama is the best healing ninja ever! Hashirama has the best clone technique!

Madara doesn't even have hax outside of the meteors. This entire fight he's basically been wanking Hashirama's powers.
 
Bleach

Don't care enough this week to dig into this. Enough to instill fear in Yamamoto and the super evil antag are supposed to doll this arc up I guess. I just don't really care anymore cause Ichigo is like Vaan now and everything else is scattered stories. Not interesting.

I'd kill to see Madara standing over the five kage, gloating after he completely dismantles them, only to have Hashirama's grafted-on face gain sentience, take over zombie Madara, destroy Tobi, Kabuto, and Sasuke, and end the manga with a, "Good game, now go home," quip as he walks off into the distance.
 
Is that first month for Bleach? If so it seems really low.
3 days on sale. However compared to a 3 days sale for a Bleach volume from last year, it got lower.

The continuous hax powers week after week are also getting old.
 
Qwaser of Stigmata vol 10
aec34b9801102a031902e166a42ce2d7f9ab8a2a.png


Last volume
Katja came back, so this volume we have Mafuyu back as well,
which also concludes this mission in the all girls school.
Some nice fights, some raging on Sasha's part and a sad conclusion to the arc. I would have preferred it if
Tsubasa didn't "die", but on the bright side Sasha was able to bridge Mi-chan's and Tsubasa's hearts and feelings. That was a heart-wrenching love confession.
Hiroyuki Yoshino's comment at the end of the volume was funny. In a part of it he thanked fans for the fact serialization of Qwaser surpassed ten volumes, spawned an anime and the vol 10 LE was released with a special OAV so, even if he felt sorry for the wallets of people that bought the anime, he was grateful since he can now eat some delicious meals... made me smile.

Ubel Blatt vol 11
2f1045de4d31982e7cc7770ce439d1e436b2b356.jpg


Even though it came out the same day in 3 different countries, I stil managed to grab it 1 month late...
Great volume. I had read some chapters already from the scans, but I don't think I had read the last ones, where Koinzell comes back to save the day.
Ikfes is completely on the wrong path, imho. I wonder when or if he'll understand that.
Now the wait for volume 12 will be even harder to swallow.
 
The new Rock Lee: Springtime of Youth was hilarious. XD

Just one thing they messed up, Neji is Hinata's cousin, not sibling. Unless they consider their relationship to be brother/sister due to being raised by the same person.
 
Suicide Island: 1-5

Being the easily distracted idiot I am, I ended up on this (ongoing) comic from the same guy that does Holyland. His art in this seems a lot more...solid I think is the right word? Especially the women. Although the guys still suffer from looking real similar in side shots.

I'm liking it so far. It's a like a suicidal version of the 1st season of Lost/Cage of Eden. Except it's just people killing themselves rather than things on the island. And with a romance subplot has a healthy dose of potential double suicide. Fun times!

I really should just stick to Solbro's recommendations, but I thought I'd just let some of you know this is a thing that exists. A survival story where everyone has already tried to kill themselves multiple times (and failed).
 
Bleach

Don't care enough this week to dig into this. Enough to instill fear in Yamamoto and the super evil antag are supposed to doll this arc up I guess. I just don't really care anymore cause Ichigo is like Vaan now and everything else is scattered stories. Not interesting.

The leader of the new group is Ichigo's uncle. (Ichigo mentioned that Zangetsu looked kinda like his uncle after the first time he saw him.) That's something.

10 volumes to cover half of the season two of the anime nice. I should return to reading it but Id be reading everything I already watched. I did like that arc especially with Hana around and [spoiler]Katja as you indicated and Mafuyu, just needed some Teresa, the best one second to Katja[/spoiler]
 
HxH was great this week.

Togashi just made a callback to a scene from 100 chapters ago which was a nice touch.

Kurapica has gotten some of his clans eyes back. Anyone else think that he's fought some of the Genei Ryodan off-screen?
Yeah I think they clashed a few times. If we get another Kurapika arc, Kurapika and the Ryodan would be a lot more familiar with each other than they were in the first arc (beyond just Paku's memories).

It's possible they didn't clash since then but got more info on each other. I wouldn't be surprised if Kurapika found out about their origins by now.

Plus there's always the chance he wasn't just sitting there in that scene, but actually waiting for someone/thing.
 
One Piece just doesn't stop being awesome.

650 something chapters in, and it's STILL interesting. Amazing, really.
 
Dark Edge

And I thought Kamunagara would be bad with it's 4 year cliffhanger. This one hasn't had a translated chapter in 5 years!

Anyway, the people in this school are dumb. Who the hell returns to a place with zombies and evil faculty just to attend class!?
 
No. 5 Volume 4

Things are finally making sense. Waiting till volume 4 to explain anything kind of made the manga hard to follow up until now. I'm pretty sure Matsumoto Taiyo realized it is hard to follow because he puts in frequent recaps. The problem is that those recaps are...
...not so helpful. They are more just there to be awesome.
 
Tomorrows

This seems like an awesome Animorphs-esq story, but like all the recent stuff I've been reading (clearing out the backlog), there hasn't been a translated chapter in a long time. Hope someone picks it up since it's only 4 volumes (though I'm guessing it was cancelled).
 
Yeah is development is pretty satisfying. He is much less of a sissy than Holyland dude.
Seriously. Holyland dude is still crying about the hard-knock-life on the streets of Tokyo even after kicking people's asses left and right.

Meanwhile this motherfucker just decides to make a bow and a few arrows for the first time from that one time he saw them and read about them in books, memorizes the patterns of the deer, and goes up into the mountains alone with a couple of berries and a dried fish to try something he's never done before.

He really mans up in a way I wasn't expecting. I was thinking it'd be Holyland dude part duex.
 
The leader of the new group is Ichigo's uncle. (Ichigo mentioned that Zangetsu looked kinda like his uncle after the first time he saw him.) That's something.

How the heck do you remember this?

Shout outs to the old dude's face when bankai was mentioned.

Giant Killing

Not sure if I'm the only following but the new chapter was interesting. The focus on Victory's team synergy made for good focus. The breakdown of why they were losing wasn't just having their player maker on the bench but them doubting themselves on the pitch. The opening "oh hey's a nice guy" nicely executed to be exploited.
 
I have and continue to read them. One Piece is the only one I would say is worth it though. The other two are simply a case of I have spent this much time reading them I may as well keep going. It's like the Aunt Tits manga, I can't stop reading, but wish I never started.

If more shonen were like Beelzebub the world would be a better place.



We have. I am not a fan of Dengeki Daisy at all. The whole thing makes me feel uncomfortable. It's like reading the time skip part of Usagi Drop over again.

The other two are good, but there should be more!

I find Beelzebub rather entertaining but pretty much mediocre in all aspects apart from some of the humour, which tends to be pretty predictable and formulaic anyway. Personally, I think One Piece and HxH are the best offered by shounen at the moment. The only two I am currently reading with any creativity in their story telling
 
Suicide Island: 20

Ha ha, I didn't think something so insignificant could get me so hyped.
I am hoping for some I Am Legend shit from this dog in the future. Cover for the next volume also got me hyped.
I wonder why I love series about survival so much.

That's enough for one night.
 
Beelzebub

LOL at Toujou excited. Didnt expect to see Futaba in the trip. Cant wait for next chapter.

Hunter x Hunter

Nice wrap up to the arc. Curious to see whats next.
 
The leader of the new group is Ichigo's uncle. (Ichigo mentioned that Zangetsu looked kinda like his uncle after the first time he saw him.) That's something.
Even if true, it's just some other weird circumstance in Bleach to bring Ichigo back in. I think what Bleach has always lacked was an overall goal. It just seems so awkward each time Kubo scrambles to come up with some reason to get Ichigo back in.
I need someone else to share in my suffering! C'mon!
You should know by now that I read this trash.
Oresama Teacher 1

Sorry, can't take you seriously.
What does that even mean?
I forgot about this series at 50 chapters or so because it was repetitive as hell. I'm guessing it's still the same?
Yes, it is fucking awful. ULTIMATE MALE FANTASY
