Well, I mean, I don't think he's planning to make Naruto gay after 500 chapters of him clearly being straight.

I got around to reading that chapter and it sucked. Why doesn't Itachi just tell Sasuke he's a fucking asshole, instead of being like, "NARUTO WILL SHOW YOU THE WAAAAAAAAAAY"

My bad, I thought you were making a jest/troll and I was just playing along.

Everything Itachi did was for Sasuke and Konoha. It may seem lame, but it's certainly predictable. Also, had to cut away from Naruto fight as Tobi is the final boss. Needed to resolve all the other fights first.

Flame of Recca 37 - 158
tumblr_m4v2btXKHh1qbxqfpo1_500.png

This tournament arc went on for about fifty chapters too long. There was so much lost potential in varying the environments and telling a creative story by confining it to the dome for so long. I liked how Recca received control of flame dragons (predictable though), Kaoru's story, and a few of the opponents (Joker). All of the various Madogu felt fresh though.

Disliked how they kept calling Mikigami man-woman, so mean to the second best member of Hokage :/ (Kaoru, Mikigami, Recca). Liked the belief in friends though, and the artist does panels for key characters well. Never a bad Recca panel.

Also funny seeing Toriko all hippy and calm like that as a result of Food Honor. He wasn't exactly known for his anger management issues to begin with, but that was pretty good.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"

Its' a complex joke, lol. At some point, someone was going to not be sure who's joking and who isn't.

Tobi isn't the final boss given that Sasuke's just standing around.

How many dragons does Recca have access to where you are? I liked the differentiation in the dragons abilities, they didn't feel like rehashes with different aesthetics. I actually enjoyed tournament arcs since shounen amount to one on one battles anyway, it's a simple clean format for the battles and the competition gradually gets stronger and stronger which builds up some hype for the end matches. Well, at least it will take a break from that for a while now, still plenty of chapters left.

Pshh you know he's going to ultimately team up with Naruto against Tobi. We've known this for volumes!

I feel like he has five of seven, I was confused when the old man became a dragon or something, and he went to that place where many of the human forms of the dragon tested him. His arm seems to just have five of the tattoos? or maybe six.

Yeah I was thinking you were further in the series but I just verified before my last post how many chapters there were total. Still more skills for him to learn. Man, this makes me want to read a new series but I'm trying to hold out until one of the ones I'm currently reading ends. At least I'll be able to marathon Soul Eater and Kenichi a bit when they finish their arc.

Looking at the top 50 list, the two Bleach volumes outsold most of the new volumes of the manga on that top 10 list.

I guess it's just that absolutely nobody is buying Bleach's back catalog, which isn't that surprising when you think about it.

I'm on a onsen-related manga roll today !

Koibana Onsen volume 1-3

It's like Hatekoi with actual boning and none of the SERIOUS DRAMA and TRAGIC MISUNDERSTANDINGS.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
After being kicked out of the main dorms for bringing in a stray cat, Kanda Sorata is forced to live in the smaller Sakura Halls where problem students are sent to live. Although he doesn’t mind his roommates, Sorata can’t wait to move out of Sakura Halls. But when Shiina Mashiro moves into the dorm, everything changes. Mashiro is an artistic genius who, at a young age, won many awards for her skills, but due to her childhood being so focused on art, she has no common sense and social skills. Forced to take the role of taking care of Mashiro, Sorata learns about himself and begins on a path of self improvement.

Smut gaf should read Sakura Diaries. This more of a challenge rather than a recommendation.

While searching for any news about DTB season 1/manga licenses, I stumbled upon this:

http://www.square-enix.co.jp/magazine/yg/introduction/dimensionw/

Seems to be from the same Mangaka, Iwahara Yuji.

Anyone have more info about it?

Here is the mangaupdates description.

In the future, Nikola Tesla's dream of a 'World System' of electricity is realized. Cords and batteries are a thing of the past, and now people can directly draw energy using devices known as 'coils.' Some people, however, modify these coils for destructive purposes. Mabuchi Kyoma, a man who lives in ruins and has a passion for 'vintage' gas-powered cars, has good reason to know what damage these coils can do. He takes on assignments from a large woman known as Marie, recovering illegal coils in exchange for cash and gasoline.

One day, he goes out on one of his usual missions, to retrieve illegal coils from two criminal brothers, Jony and Every Won. When he gets to their gang's hideout, however, there is another stranger there: a mysterious, cloaked captive that appears to be a young lady. Who is she and will this meeting change Kyoma's life?

You guys should check out Momoiro Meloik too. I'm feeling like it has potential. Could just end up being a typical ecchi rom com though

I read it yesterday and it has potential to become great.

Shit just got real!

I can't believe there's been a chapter translated once a day for the last 11 days. These guys have dedication on par with the Kyou Kara Ore Wa guys.
