Ao no Exorcist 35

Great chapter to start the new arc, and what better locale than taking place at the beach. Some parts were hilarious and Rin looked cool there in the oceanic moment. Renzo made me laugh much as well.

NO. Don't even get me started on weeaboo comics.
Oh, you love them and you know it.

That was good, but not the same. I've always wondered if there was a manga where two people body swap and then have sex with each other (ie themselves).
I'm sure there are plenty of tables at comiket who have that.
it doesnt feel like wednesday
Want me to make up a Bleach chapter plot for you?

I am Korean.
Made a PDF of 20 blank pages. A very viable substitute for a weekly Bleach chapter.

It served me well.

Here

Ichigo: I'll finish this in an instant!
Nazi: Such pointless boasting.
If we're really lucky Ishida will attempt to explain everything only to have Ichigo tell him to shut up.

Next chapter: The big fight!

I was going to do my chapter where Urahara gets Chad to murder Ichigo taking over the MC spot and macking with Rukia. :(
UGH.

Ughhh why gunbo why did you remind me this existed...

so terrible.
I came to bring the pain hardcore from the brain.
Let's go inside my astral plane.


It's got mega in the title so it has to be good. I think it is the only work I know of that has more ambiguously looking females aside from key works. Every female can be 10 different characters. It keeps you on your toes!

Claymore 126:

I'm guessing the 2ch rumor is true based on this chapter. Not only did the "ending" not resolve any plot conflicts/loose ends, but it created new ones by showing off the "Dragons". Still, I don't see why the series needed a "renaming/relaunch". Unless the new series starts off at the new continent and there's major character changes, it just seems abrupt.
 
Jojo Part 5 End

This was way better than Part 4. I dont know if its me but I found Part 5 fights the most brutal yet.

Characters were awesome. The only thing nagging me is
all main villain stands have some kind time control power

I will miss Narancia and Bruno ;________; Fugo was a disappointment. LOL at Polnareff being a turtle for the rest of his life.

And of course Diavolo death was the opposite of Cars. Repeating death forever. Brutal.

Now to Part 6.

Fugo was responsible for my least favourite thing to happen in the series. Still my favourite part though.

Yamada-kun and the 7 Witches

Haha wow. This is probably the funniest thing I've read in a while. I think I read chapter 1 way back when but never kept up on it but now that more chapters are out I thought I'd give it another chance.

Glad I did. I definitely
enjoyed the twist that it's Yamada himself who has to initiate the swapping even though the story sort of leads you to believe it's Shiraishi at first.

Which reminds me, I still need to read the author's other recent work, Yanki-kun to Megane-chan.

Hah, this is even more "And I Jizz in my Pants: The series" than the anime was.

I started reading this several days ago, seemed kind of funny.

Only manga I know with a girl who orgasms voicing eroge.

Once the volumes get into around the teens, you start to hate yourself for reading it. Plus, most of us have been destroyed by the ending spoiler. :/ You'll really like the early stuff though. I can say that with confidence.

I have to catch up on Yamada. But looking at my backlog, I might actually get caught up on my current reading list this weekend. That would be...nah, not going to happen. Forever behind.

See, now I have to go on a rant. I hope you're happy.

Original English Language "Manga" is fundamentally stupid. It operates on a strong implication that Manga is inherently superior than western comics or that Japanese people invented to concept of using sequential images accompanied by text to tell a story. It's written by people for whom English is the first language, aimed at people for whom English is their first language and Published by people for whom English is their first language. And yet everyone involved thinks it's a good idea to make people read them from right to left.

Chad? Doing something relevant?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You know if you think about it, the more Chad does shit in the series the better it is.

First two arcs: Chad was a core side character, best two arcs in the series
Hueco Mundo: Chad tagged along, but faded out. Quality of the arc went into a decline.
Fake Karakura: Chad wasn't there whatsoever, a complete turd.
Fullbringer: Chad was involved, start of the arc was good. When Chad went away, everything went downhill very fast and became the worst closure an arc had in the entire series.

Chad holds Bleach together.
 
What happened?

I liked it better when it was the 2 guys working on it and it was more of a crazy trip of 2 weeboos in Japan experiencing/doing all sorts of crazy shit, humor and gaming meta-commentary plus flowing like a strip similar penny arcade, etc.

One of the guys left due to creative differences, his character in the comic wasn't as good as a result plus it turned more into a manga of the shojou/romantic comedy type . The crazy shit wasn't as crazy anymore and the humor was sapped out imo.
 
Koe de Oshigoto vol 5

This is... starting to get a little fucked up. Kanna has already developed a serious mental condition and it's being exploited for voice acting purposes. If this was grounded in reality at all, the sister and pretty much everyone at the company would be given a few decades in jail.

But hey, I've enjoyed mental conditions being played for laughs before and I don't plan on stopping now.

Umm...English plz. Wtf is this weeaboo shit?

I couldn't remember what the English was at the time, but it's apparently something like Caught in the carnage between my girlfriend and my childhood friend. It's a light novel series.

I dunno if it has an abbreviated title like Ore no Imouto/Oreimo. Kind of a pain in the ass with these super long titles...

Retcon: there seems to be numerous JoJo references in this

Kamomill's Majinagram is awesome. Touch-based flight manipulation could be really damn useful depending on the situation. I hope this guy becomes an ally because that ability has so much potential.

The funny thing is, when I wrote "western manga" I just meant regular comics. Like Spider-Man and shit.

Stop whining and go respond to my post in the GW2 thread. I need to know about the shitty MMOs not to buy.

I don't read OEL manga.

If this was grounded in reality, I don't think Kanna would have been asked by her sister to voice eroge @ 16. The entire thing is mentally deranged.

The Penny-Arcade comic sums up the differences between TERA and GW2.

tl;dr they're both flawed.
 
Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo

I like how easily I am amused by this series. I can definitely see that it'll probably fall back on the
whole college thing
yet again like in Yankee-kun, but I'm ok with that.

Though, my most favorite part is definitely the art of this series. I just like how clean it is and how nice it is to look at it.
