What's the name of the manga with the nurse carrying a machete?

I Am a Hero

 

[jbug617]

Kuroko no Basket 231

This chapter was an introduction to the starting 5 for Seirin and Rakuzan. We finally get to meet the 5th player from Rakuzan and his name is Chihiro Mayuzumi. The funny thing with his introduction someone commented that he looked familiar. That's strange because I don't recognize him but if I had to guess he attended the same middle school of the G.o.M.

I think we finally get to the game in the next chapter.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I Am a Hero

Ah alright.

 

[BassForever]

Is iris zero good?

 

[Stulaw]

Sun-Ken Rock 55-124
Went on a binge laster night and read this for about 3 hours or so, it's so good,

Spoiler

Now that Yumin knows that Ken's the Boss, I'm guessing that her father's the next target, and then the Don Corleone look alike.

I have a feeling that something will eventually

Spoiler

kill Ken and his gang, or maybe Tae-Soo

. Anyway, I'm going to wait a year for the next arc to be over with to focus on Uni, I'll probably do the same for other manga as well.

I do however, wish I could buy the manga in English.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Oh my someone started scanlating One Outs fast.

One Outs 133-138

All dat keikaku by Tokuchi. Cant wait to see him trolling the league owner.

Almost didn't remember who that was at the end.

 

[Conan-san]

Nisekoi 92

Yeah, cuz that's how Eyes totally work. Jesus H Christ on Bike in Space it's like Medaka Box ended and the author took it as a challenge to make something that was worse than that piece of meta-textual bullshit.

Stealing a bankai power as not The same as stealing a zampakto spirit. They can't go bankai anymore, but they can still use spirits to shikai.

Right, that's exactly my point. If it WAS stealing the spirit, and took both bankai and shikai, it wouldn't have been so shocking. Stealing only the bankai portion is what's weird, since we've never had any reason to think the bankai was separate from the rest of the sword spirit in a way that would allow it to be stolen. Repressed, negated, sure, since that's a holistic thing applied to the sword. But severed? We'll need some more backstory to explain that one.

Stealing a bankai is like if Team Rocket stole Charizard, but then Ash still had Charmeleon.

I'm sure the backstory behind bankai theft will be rolled into Mayuri's fight when he somehow sabotages his bankai.

Exactly, it doesn't work with how the swords have been established.

Or...you know, Kubo didn't think things through and just wanted to create drama.

You probably hit the nail on the head.

Hachi is going places. So frenetic and purposeful.

 

[Theonik]

You people are too intellectually unarmed to properly appreciate Kubo's genius.
(lol)

There are probably more Generation of Miracle rejects still out there. The club had like two hundred members.

Bleach is about as deep as Inception thinks it is.

 

[Angry Grimace]

You know, I think Nisekoi actually worse than KNIM because its like 10 times more vapid and repulsive. Characters in KNIM do stupid things without any good reason to do so, but at least you could argue they are consistently stupid, selfish characters.

Nisekoi is just a completely unabashed wish fulfillment fantasy where four 10s fight over a wish-fulfillment version of the reader (doesn't think he's special but girls secretly are super hot for him).

Seriouspostin' about Nisekoi and KNIM

 

[scy]

Nisekoi at this point is a case of just wanting to see how it finishes and reactionfaces.

So I guess nothing really changed from the start.

Just like the plot.

 

[Kurita]

Nisekoi is fun.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Inception is fun, though. Bleach is a chore like 50% of the time.

 

[scy]

Kingdom 225-227 - Of course Rinko comes back "stronger" anyway (and still killing Generals like it's nothing). Oh well, he'll probably still die at some point here.

Renpa is a monster.

Nisekoi is fun.

More or less.

Nah, Nisekoi is just a stock harem with cute art, Rage Town is a whole another beast.

Yeah man, those 15 seconds a week really do add up.

Nisekoi 92

If the 4th keyblade wielder somehow turns out to be Tsugumi I quit manga forever. Or until the next Screaming Lessons chapter comes out.

I would totally pick this shit back up if this came true.

 

[Angry Grimace]

It takes longer to read all of Bleach than it does to watch Inception tho

Yamada is fun. Nisekoi is a chore.

Perhaps, but even Limbo would have better pacing.

This post was almost as bad as Nisekoi.

 

[dakkumauji]

I still need to get around to reading Nisekoi one of these days.

 

[grandjedi6]

Nisekoi is the story of the main guy and girl being tsundere for each other, 3 harem cliches that are doomed to lose, 2 side characters who only function to point out the obvious and 2 annoying "little sister" characters who only serve to obstruct the "plot".

It's your basic fake harem story based on an insanely silly premise filled with characters too dumb to remember skin color or too lazy to ask their dads what really happened.

Ippo 1031 - wait that's it?! Goddamnit.

When you put it that way, it's a masterpiece.

I just saw Infinite Stratos the other day, and whatever you may say about Nisekoi, it's.. it's actually ridiculously tame for the genre.

I seen things, man. Nisekoi is so wonderfully innocent in comparison.

It's a crazy world out there.

So we know battle shounen is doomed, how do we fix harem shounen?

It's not the content that's the problem, it's that Nisekoi is actually hideously boring if you're not invested, and slightly less boring if you are invested. I'd say that Grimace is on the dot about the vapid and repulsiveness of Raku, because you don't have that same sort of annoyed feeling from Yamada or Keima, and yet their respective mangas aren't that different.

Flawed characters and more than one male love interest?

Mangaf has both of these things

 

[Haly]

We're all flawed characters here.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Gintama 456

So my knowledge about anything relating to Saint Seiya is nil.

Still managed to laugh at all the "Right behind you!!" jokes.

I hear there's a manga contest going on at Jump right now

 

[Angry Grimace]

Says the dude who makes a post that literally has no actual content in it. "X sucks" is not a take.

Hint: What are you talking about?

The balls. They are blue.

 

[B-Dubs]

Ippo 1031

Takamura shooting hot fire Date's way, other than that massive blue balls.

We're all flawed characters here.

But who's the most flawed to get their own series started?

 

[Wiseblade]

Baby Steps (caught up)
This is so good. Good enough that I'll forgive a blatant attempt to move the goalposts from the all Japan junior.

The caught up series is at what, 250 or so now? At the pace it takes to win matches, I could imagine he hasn't even finished the tournament yet.

I don't know though, he's never beaten anyone propped up to be completely dominant yet.

 

[BassForever]

How is Hoshin Engi? I'm playing though JUS and I just unlocked this world and it looks really interesting.
