I replayed Mass Effect from the very beginning of the first game before jumping to Mass Effect 3 and right now I just got Tali in Mass Effect 2.
I am wary though: people have been complaining left and right about the supposedly botched conclusion of the series. Apparently lots of them are heavily dissapointed by it.
Reading your impression doesn't make things easier for me
Oh well....
Yeay, new chapters for BABY STEPS are up!
The horrible thing is that the first 95% of ME3 was good fun and very well done.I replayed Mass Effect from the very beginning of the first game before jumping to Mass Effect 3 and right now I just got Tali in Mass Effect 2.

Finish?
Didn't notice the 'time skips' for the later chapters due to Domeki and his grandpa and his great great grandson all fucking look the same! I heard the OVA has a more... conclusive ending... Still, the individual stories were fun enough. Was a chill ass manga though. Good stuff.

Some manga about hunters
Too much work to do that
I'm just listing manga that I frequently see being mentioned
Yeah, you'll see for yourself and be able to judge for yourself. You've already got some type of expectations going in...I'll just put it like this: enjoy the ride while you're on it. It's a really fun one.
i know dat feel ;___;

Is there any example of a romantic manga where the author pulled the, how should I call it, "Ichigo 100%" trick where the main guy doesn't end up with the "supposed" lead girl?
Can't think of any.
In all honestly I'm supporting Shou but I don't think the mangaka has any cajones to pull it off.
Might as well enjoy what can be enjoyed, yeah?
My positiveness took another hit to reduce its HP to critical level!

Going to read this since it gives me a Devil Summoner vibe. Don't even know what it is or what I can expect, heh.

Woah... now that I have read the 1st chapter the supernatural shit makes the vibe even stronger.

Luck Stealer vol 2
Liked this volume more than the first one overall.
The introduction of the police inspector by the end of the volume to complicate Yusei's life is one of the reasons.
Another is the first chapter of this volume. The story of a minor physically abused is a sad thing, but the end made up for it. Sweet, sweet turn of events as that teacher got what she deserved.

I share the same sentiment as that last sentence.
How do you determine who the "lead" girl is in a romcom series when it's not clearly fixed from the start, anyway? Is it just by the "first girl wins" rule, or the one most featured on cover pages and such, or what?

Well in case of GE it's pretty much settled that Yuki is the lead girl, since she is the one featured in the oneshot that preceded GE. On that oneshot Yuki won while Shou got shafted due to the protagonist's shifting love from her to Yuki.
...and GE is born as a series due to the popularity of that oneshot. So Shou doesn't have a good chance in my opinion, actually... which is unfortunate.
Bet there's going to be something messing up their lovey-dovey moment next chapter.
not a major spoiler but
one of the characters draws a portrait of Punpun and he is sort of good looking
There is some significance in how they are portrayed. I always took it as a peek into Punpuns mind or Asano trying to communicate some complicated emotions or character traits.

Don't know why but I'm in the mood to read all sorts of manga.
KUROSAGI
A manga about swindlers swindling swindlers... seems interesting.

Saki 86-94
It's been a while since I read some chapter for Saki, and it's baffling how the author can get away with publishing so little for a monthly series. I mean, chapters of 7 and 8 pages?
I'm happy it's finally Saki's turn, but I'm not exactly liking that all the space seems reserved to the other girls instead of the main group. I wanted to see Nodoka own, and I want to see Saki own, but Nodoka's play was rather unimpressive and so far Saki didn't do all that much better, except for a couple wins.

Who's that?
A female character in Naruto, any other information like a name is irrelevant.
It's not any female character in Naruto, it's the epytome, the living example of Kishi not knowing how to write a female character.
Oh and she's useless in more sense of the word that pretty much anything.
It's not hate when it's the author doing it.

KUROSAGI

It is. Great choice there. I paused on it a long while back since the scans had halted, but Kurosagi is an incredibly fun manga if you're into mind-games.
Only the author of the not good Naruto series.

who is actually the original author...
Really sucks for TenTen when her own creator doesn't give a flying fuck about her
The word you are looking for is "boring."
People also still argue that the world is flat. Doesn't mean it isn't bat-shit insane.
The drawings are supposed to portray Punpun and his family as ambiguous. If you have a face to everyone it becomes a story about that specific family, not necessarily "many" families. I spoke of this before but a main idea with Punpun is how ordinary the story is. The vivid imagery is almost to siimply remind you that you are reading a manga. The story also parallels the idea of children wanting to be adults to solve their problems and adults wanting to be children since they can't handle their problems.
And finally, the art is strategic. It lowers the amount of work and at the same time allows the artist to show details that wouldn't normally be seen due to the proportions. The changing shape of Punpun also allows the author to display his emotions/mental state without the need of facial expressions or dialog. So yea...the art choice is certainly a big part of Punpun.

I hate to be a stick in the mud here, but Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth stopped being awesome when author started rehashing the same plot / art direction over and over again. Chapter 9 was absolutely ass, and it primarily made fun of Hinata (I really don't like Hinata) which really says a lot about that chapters quality. Naruto isn't gods gift to man, but sheesh are you being factitious or are you actually serious here >_>
I am, admittedly not entirely caught up with Rock Lee, but it's cute and entertaining. Naruto has sort of reached the point where it's like Return of the King; I'm getting kind of sick of it and need the loo, but I keep believing the ending is in sight, even though it never is.

The MC and family represented as birds thing made it really jarring when i read it the first time.
Might go back to it someday and hope it won't annoy me as much. :/
It's supposed to annoy you. As is Punpun changing his shapes. It makes you uncomfortable on purpose me thinks. It builds huge tension though when you get a view of Punpun's real look or his reversion back to his little twiggy self. The caricature of Punpun and his family are meant to be a templates. Readers who really like to identify with characters though will be throw off.
A fanfiction manga is better than the original. Deal with it

Chapter 10 is pretty good. Jet Lee XD
Springtime of Youth getting an anime just proves that everyone knows it is the superior product.
I'm still holding out for her to go yandere mode and head towards best end route.
Heroine of "Do xx to Me!" is fucking awful. Hope she gets hit by a bus.
Heh, yea.

Doesnt give me much hope for the anime, I was already disappointed I didnt see much of Sasuke/Kiba in promo materials...then again will I really not watch it...
I thought it was just because the studio wasnt able to choose if they wanted to do another really long filler Bleach filler arc or find some new ip to animate.
