Shokugeki no Soma 10

No food genjutsu reactions, but I still liked the chapter. Wish Soma did his usual band on head things as he prepares for action but the final panel was still good for him. Hope he crushes the meat master.

Yea i kept hearing that Oh Great's new book pretty much goes to shit from the get go LOL

and IIRC he isn't even writing it this time.

I like to imagine that whenever he gets the script or whatever, he reads through it and just rips out entire pages whenever things start to make sense.

It's apparently based on a light novel.

After reading the first chapter, I would love to see how the hell that incomprehensible mess reads as just words.

You guys just don't get it, Oh Great work is far to deep for you guys.

Now am trying to imagine how air gear would be like in a book format(just words).....just mind boggling.
 
Deadman Wonderland 52

Most predictable thing Hagire would have said to Ganta would be that Shiro is
his sister
.

That's what I would bet on anyway.

1003: p15 was one of the best panels in a long time. Smug bastard. Felt so good!

1006: You better not throw that fucking towel!

I wanna believe! Also they need to hurry up with the translating, they're like 4 chapters behind.

Finnegan's Wake ain't got nothin' on that shit.

but he usually allows it make some kind of sense until later on.

Gotta check this manga out one of these days.

Tower of God

Well, this translation made things a bit clearer. Still have no idea why that bunny ears decided to blow shit up though, and her plan just seems kinda stupid so i think im/we are missing something. Damn you next chapter, release already!

Unless there's a new chapter that i haven't read, i think she decided to just blow everything up because she realized baam places those people (it's just koon, but she doesn't know that) in some importance, and her organization doesn't need a slayer with a heart of compassion, so better to just kill them 1st before they influence baam any further

Coming back from the The Amazing Spider-Man 2 plot synopsis thread, I'm really wondering ... do you guys read US comics too?

I tried to read X-Men few years back, but I just can't deal with the art. I think it's mostly the body proportions that throw me off.

Examples of the villain "Rhino" from the Spider-Man thread.

I'm sure it's not all bad and there's obviously bad art in manga too, but even the big comic series can look really terrible.

Funny you should mention X-Men: my fav. run of the series is by Grant Morrison and that has some really unimpressive art, which is unfortunate as the writing is superb.

FYI that Ultimate Spiderman had the same artist for nearly 100+ issues and was well written for the most part.

Getting used to comic book art takes time, but you can always ask for good comics with art style that would interest you at the comics thread ;3

Biorg Trinity? Not as far as I know?

I read on another forum that it was so it might, more like probably, be incorrect. From what I have read about the dude writing it though, Maijo Otaro, it sounds like Oh Great really did find a guy crazier than him.
 
What do you smell like?

A silly doujin about a guy smelling a girl. Smelling her in them places. Yet, it turns out to be pretty sweet at the one. Very nicely done.

Where do you live, can't you get it via Amazon?

I wouldn't get anything on PlayAsia. They jack up the prices.
Nope, my cheapest option (including domestic shops) is importing from Amazon US. Playasia's free shipping saves me ~50 dollars in importing, so they're lifesavers!

This is now my second favorite DS doujin, you just cannot compete with moe Priscilla.

Its so good Saki san has an understanding co worker, though I guess the large age difference is something people would bring up. Guess like last chapter, Saki would hold off telling juns parents. Anyway the whole scenes with the friend there observing and questioning was nice, and just lots of fluffy scenes. More Jun's blushes are always great too see.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
Shokugeki no Soma

I've seen some readers compare Soma's personality to Luffy. I can totally see that.
I wonder if Ikumi's food-gasm will be patriotic.

Shokugeki no Soma

Well there we go, he's actually putting effort into the battles now. That can't end well for that chick.
His condition was great too.
 

Freshmaker

I am Korean.
As far as American comics go, you follow the writers most of the time. Snyder, Hickman, Fraction, Waid, Reminder are all putting out really great books. Slott's Spidey is worth a shot as well since it's not as bad as it sounds.

It's actually worse.
 
Team Medical Dragon

It's evolving into a better political drama than editorial, which is fine. The manga logic is beginning to tone down as well, which suits me better. There's still a certain amount of pettiness to the characters that tends to make me question their motivations in a way that seems unintentional rather than multifaceted. That said, I'm enjoying the manga more as I go along, which is of course the strength and weakness of serialization.

Shokugeki no Soma

Yeah, good to see that they finally show him preparing for a fight rather than just rushing in a blitzing everyone. Much more interesting this way.

Wonder when his first major loss will happen though.

Boo, no orgasm! It is nice that we are starting to get past the single chapter "monster of the week" phase and moving to longer term stories, though.

One Piece vol 3-6
"Struggling" to read this would be an understatement. I really want to keep at it till it gets "good", but this really is trying my patience.

Wait how long was Naruto's training for again? It seems like he's only been gone a day or so @_@

I liked the fast pace the fights are going in though.

At least stick with it til the end of the Arlong park arc (next arc) if after that you still aren't feeling it then quit. Arlong park is more of an indication of where the series will be going then the first few arcs.

Is that where he's doing the chakra nature training with tons of clones? I'm not sure how long the manga did it, but the anime I believed had it go across 3-5 episodes with a few nights and days.

Skip the reading of Arlong Park, watch the episode of nami, then read alabasta arc (best arc and where one piece actually takes off) to see if the franchise is worth following.
 
Hoshikawa Ginza Yonchoume 19 (END)

I read chps 1-18 of this like 6 months ago and then completely forgot about it. So naturally the next chapter would be the last one. I couldn't really remember what was happening, but I think it was pretty bad anyway so I'm not gonna bother refreshing my memory. There was yuri and stuff.

His first major loss will probably happen after he has won a few Shougeki, and only when the stakes aren't him leaving. Of course he could be like Azuma from Yakitate and never lose.

I read it a while back and thought it was pretty good, if not a little creepy. Middle school girl wanting to marry her teacher/foster parent is a little creepy.
 
It's Your Fault That I'm Not Popular - 35

God-fucking-dammit, Spaghetti-tan, way to drop the ball you idiot. :p

it's super creepy

but it's yuri

so... I guess it's still creepy actually

...all I needed to know.

EDIT: Already read that one; only part I thought was creepy was that other chick with the whole "
let me touch you and I'll keep your secret
" thing

I'm actually enjoying reading manga off the Wii U Game Pad, although I may upgrade to something a bit better for reading later that isn't too pricey. I suppose a Kindle would do.

I wouldn't recommend a kindle for manga. The paperwhite is 2GB only with no slots for expandable memory, and while the kindle store has a great selection of books, the selection for manga is terrible, unless you like to read the worst softcore porn.

For manga I'd recommend the nexus 7. The size is pretty much perfect for manga as it's around the same size as a regular tankobon, the screen has a higher density than the ipad mini and also, cheap.

No, I'm not one for ecchi myself. I suppose the size isn't all that great, would you happen to have something else in mind?

-edit-

Read your edit, I'll take a look at that, thanks.

Why would one choose a standard kindle over the kindle fire hd 8.9, its pretty awesome for Manga.
