So the other assassin has a name now (Chikage), and ends up going at the same school of Arashi and Mikoto. The bond that is created between Mikoto and Chikage wasn't that surprising, but I didn't think Chikage would end up being so much into Mikoto and, as Mikoto acts like a bitch to Arashi, I wonder what will happen when she finds out that "Fever" and Chikage are the same person?
For a minute I thought there could be a possibility of Mikoto partnering with Chikage, but I hope I'm completely wrong.

This is too wordy and not as funny as I thought it'd be. Actually, it feels a bit... boring for a first volume. Maybe it's the way I approached it, expecting something with more comedy, but my first impression so far isn't all that positive.

That cover is doing a good job of selling me this manga

It's definitely slow to start but once you reach the backstories, the quality of the jokes improve by a good margin Imo.

I was wondering why I wasn't seeing the manga thread in the OT. Then I decided to check the Community, and wah lah!

Beelzebub 151:

Would have been absolutely perfect if Toujou had continued the Chinsukou joke from chapter 149 vs the "serious fight" ending. Otherwise the chapter was great.

Toriko 182:

Things seem to be picking up again story wise. Looking forward to seeing someone actually give Toriko a challenge fight wise, even if it is training.

That was pretty good. This manga is about a lady who is hit by a car and through the all encompassing power that is random unexplained supernatural BS she is sent back in time to relive her childhood. She examines her weird relationship with her sister and reevaluates her life and stuff. The concept has been done to death in pretty much every form of media, but the execution here was decent. There was some nice character development and the characters were pretty good especially by shoujo standards.

So, I got caught up with HxH, and I confused with what gender was Alluka suppose to be? That whole family is a gender confused nightmare.
Alluka's body is male. At least to Killua, Alluka is female (and Nanika could be male).

I didn't even like it in the first volume. It seemed really generic and mechanical. Definitely gets better.

If you guys have the chance, you should track down and check out the Sket Dance one-shot pilot chapter. It's some interesting stuff and quite different from the published chapter 1.

This actually fit in 100% in how I feel about powers in Naruto. What sucks is that all the new shit isn't even original powers, just evolution/changes to the only two legitimate powers in the series: Rasengan and Sharigan/Rinnegan. At least DBZ had the consideration to invent new powers, and when it didn't it just made creative ways to utilize them. All Piccolo ever did in his fight in Android 18 is just apply an old skill and make a new use for it by surrounding 18 with a set of ki blasts. If Dragonball was anything like Naruto, Goku would be shooting out Kamehameha out of his finger tips, and then after a year of training he learns how to shoot them out of his ass.
DBZ is ass, I've never seen people nostalgia so hard over such rubbish. YYH was leagues better. Come at me.

I'll keep going then.

Box of Spirits chapter 1

There was a free preview for this as it's coming out here at the end of the month, but the preview wasn't even one chapter (because the first chapter is like 100 pages long lol) so I looked at the scans and... kinda fell in love. For an horror story, the atmosphere is intriguing. It's also confusing and the art pulls me in.

Wasn't she fucking some younger guy also?

Indeed. Yabuki must have mastered the art of getting NTR'd as well by now.

Haha soooo confusing. I've only seen the anime (which is fantastic), but I'm liking the art of the manga so maybe I'll give it a try too. Maybe I'll be able to follow wtf is going on this time.
 

Parallax

best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
Area D 1

I thought it was hilarious, at least the anime.

I've been behind on my manga lately so I went back and caught up on TWGOK and Nisekoi before bed. I haven't laughed so hard and hnngghhhed so much in a while. Can't wait for the new chapters.

I see you chose your allegiance moderately well, though Chitoge is still the best one.

More lesbians! not nearly enough Aikawa trolling though. At least the taiwan joke was funny.

Don't know if this was brought up already, and if it was boy will I feel embarrassed, but something on Medaka Box:

I was watching the first episode of the anime, and something about the opening lines clicked with me. After checking both the first chapter and chapter 140, I'm pretty sure Medaka's lines to Ajimu (including the "life is epic") might be the same things she said at the very beginning of the manga. If it's true... god damn, Nisio.

So what you mean is, Nisio is better than Oda at doing foreshadowing and continuing plot threads?

Haha, yeah, they kind of are. Maybe some slight differences out of the translation and they were the same lines originally. I hope that's the case, actually. That's a nice way to bring things back full circl--oh, right, it didn't end.

So that's what the Highschool of the Dead artist does when the writer is being a lazy ass. I thought he just did more porn.

Reborn!

Had I known the arrival of Vindice would butcher the entire good pace the arc had, I'd never have been excited for it. Another slow chapter where barely anything happens.

Come on that was pretty epic, one of the best teams finally teaming up to deliver made this chapter pretty cool and exciting with Flan delivering the comedy again. Definitely way more than "barely anything happens"

Cheating against little kids in card games? I guess she is like Yugi, cheating to draw the right card at the right time

I read one of Nisio light novels, Kizumonogatari, I think

And like the first chapter was about a guy obsessing about seeing a girl's panties

So yeah... he is better than the shounen shit authors
