Ippo
I love how coach is downplaying Ippo.
I really love gamechanger Ippo fights (it's just been a while since the last one), so yeah. I expect some real development from this next fight. I'm kinda tired of this "repetitive but works" thing, it doesn't make sense because in the past, Ippo fights were always dynamic and full of twists. So hopefully the next fight ditches that concept.

B-but.. I didn't... huh?
So while they are releasing chapters for a new manga, you can read it on the new site, but once they get enough for a volume, they will sell it on JManga and remove the chapters from the new site?
That would require Shueisha to be actually smart and let JManga license some of their manga. Beside, Viz probably still has the license and they won't give a damn about JManga
From the text it seems they get what's important, and they are looking at the right example, but I just don't think it's their choice here. Will the Japanese publishers really allow a manga Crunchy? It's kind of hard to imagine.

FINALLY
I refuse to believe this.

Not really ideal for marathpning series...crunchyroll and even viz and funi dont remove series once they release them well for anime...
It's not really a matter of reading it, it's more like a matter of starting. Once you get rolling, it's so dang hard to put down. When I was marathoning it, starting a fight basically meant dropping anything else in my life for the next however many hours.
It's in a bit of a slump right now, but even then everyone complaining are people reading the fights at the slow scanlation pace. It's much better in bulk.
Hajime No Ippo:
No fucking way.Gon Ippo's going to get to One Piece the World Stage before Claire Gutts gets to Fishman Island Elf Island?
Ippo
FINALLY
No fucking way.
Yeah, all the complaints about Ippo are generally about the time spent between fights when it comes to serializations. Reading them in bulk is great, even for the less interesting fights.

The one piece will be a piece of paper that says "follow your dreams." -END-
"There is no end to the field of dreams !"
Actually, that was a great ending.

Bleach
Cant believe something I hoped for actually means that Byakuya has to be off'd this is just tragic. To criticize Renji but then be the one to fall to death is depressing. Hopefully Renji steps up and defeats this dude, for surely he has gotten way strong this time. Oh and Ichigo's panel was great.

Naruto
Rasengan was definitely nice to see. This was an excellent chapter. Tobi acting friendly with Kakeshi is odd (I mean why didnt he act like that since they entered this whole thing). Regardless, hopefully Kakeshi goes out with a bang, though I cant he do anything to a true Sharigan/Rinnegan user.

The Monster Next to Me vol 1
I enjoyed this first volume, thanks to the main girl, Shizuku Mizutani, having a cold personality (she's more interested in lists than in other people). Her interactions with Haru Yoshida, who is a very wild and naive guy make for some pretty funny situations.
Naturally being a shojo the ramifications can only be the usual ones "I think I like you.... sexually!", but seeing it all happen has its charm, in part imho thanks to the art style, which is quite nice, so nice in fact, that I hope this manga sells well enough here to have other works of Robico licensed and translated for my pleasure.

It would be more interesting if it was really Guy's alter ego and the Guy they've been hanging out with all this time was merely a clone.

Barairo no Hoo no Koro 4
The whole chapter was a bit depressing at times. Hope characters get some glimpses of hope, and if Morgan hangs in there. I didnt think all boys schools were that harsh
. And it was my first time encountering
in manga... :/ Have high hopes for the next chapter, however its the final chapter and the series has a sequel or two so...

Hah, I like how the beasts destroyed virtually every past adventure area in an instant. Now that's a way to hype them up.
Chapter was too short though.

Naruto: L(acking any logic)
What the fuck is this shit? Does Kishimoto think that all of his readers are complete boneheads? Really? They ate the chakra...hes got the chakra. He had to kill all of them, well, except the 8 and 9 tails. Obito thinks that this will somehow allow Infinite Tsukiyomi for no reason. Okay, no need for the war, simply capture (part of) Bee and revive Kinkaku and Ginkaku, put them in the jar, and that's it. What? Where does ANY of this make ANY sense at all?
It doesn't.
This is dumb.
Wait, going to go read back some of you guys's bullshit: What the fuck, you guys are excited about this Naruto vs Obito shit? There's no stakes, and literally NOTHING prior to it makes sense. Like, what the fuck? I mean, seriously, Obito is probably the stupidest character ever. What an IDIOT.
Bleach: A
YO WTF? He's not dead. I don't believe it. Not yet at least. This chapter was fucking awesome. Battle tactics and shit, not just regular slashy Bleach like everyone complains about. Byakuya's fights are always good, but this is the first time he straight up loses.
One thing I like that Kubo has done with this set up is that he has made both sides of the story he's telling genuinely interesting. In most cases, when he leaves a cliffhanger, you think "FUCK, now we're going to that other lame shit"...but in this case, we've got two storylines that make me want to know what happened next. By the end of this chapter, I had totally forgotten that we have the cliffhanger of who attacked Urahara until I actually wrote this. That means that whether he stays in Soul Society or goes back to Hueco Mundo I'm interested. This arc is great so far.
Byakuya isn't dead though, I swear.

Wait, there's a new serialization of Psychometrer Eiji?
You're assuming he's aware of all those plot holes...
Not that he really had to start a war to get his hands on Naruto and Killer Bee anyway, but yeah, the fact he only needed bits of the remaining beasts' chakra anyway adds yet another layer of silliness.
It's okay: they're all idiots.

Neon Dimension Ascension 1
Rather suspenseful and such that almost felt like some other series but not quite. This Trigger CD seems pretty potent and I wonder if main character, Chitose, will ever try it. Do hope he saves his friend...hopefully.
That final page was shocking
, creepy.

the girl is litrally fused to a locker, and her phone in that!
It's not even worth thinking about this shit. He could have warped into Konoha at anytime when Naruto was a baby, who the village barely gave a shit about, and promptly kidnapped him.
That's not even bringing him randomly declaring a war when his only forces were a bunch of fodder Zetsu. If Kabuto hadn't magically appeared to make the zombie army this war would have been him alone versus basically everyone.

Why you suck so bad? Maybe it's me, but this chapter seemed to jump around a bit, or at least lacked smooth transitions. I didn't know why people were running or fight. It was a clusterfuck...which is all this series is nowadays anyway.
Naruto
So...um...it's pretty obvious that's Obito, right? He knows Guy and Kakashi. I'm assuming he's Obito...which is something most of us guessed when we first saw his mask anyway.
Bleach
I was hoping Kubo would approach this arc differently from past ones...he hasn't. Anyone really think Byakuya is dead? Not without a flashback IMO. PEACE.

(sniff) sorry bro, I can't let you do that Stat Fox. Jokes aside, that chapter was averaging like 3-4 panels a page... you can't give that an A for that. Even if you liked Byakuya getting his ass kicked (I sure did) the plot didn't really "go anywhere" and you know as well as I do that Byakuya isn't dead, so there's no tension.

The mere act of saying things don't make sense don't make them actually not make sense. The problem is you - there's only two options here: one, you don't like the explanation, which has nothing to do with it making sense or not; or two, you aren't understanding the explanation, which also has nothing to do with it making sense or not.
No offense, but you pretty much complain Naruto "makes no sense" every week for on the grounds you don't like the plot. Nobody said it was great art.
What.
Erm. No, it's not.
And he didn't simply state it didn't make sense, he explained why.
Angry Grimace

No, he didn't explain anything, he just rattled off a series of conclusory arguments without actually providing any basis for them.
"They ate the chakra...hes got the chakra. He had to kill all of them, well, except the 8 and 9 tails. Obito thinks that this will somehow allow Infinite Tsukiyomi for no reason. Okay, no need for the war, simply capture (part of) Bee and revive Kinkaku and Ginkaku, put them in the jar, and that's it. What? Where does ANY of this make ANY sense at all? "
The entirety of it is based on assumptions which don't have any foundation; for example, that you have to have the entirety of the beasts forms to construct a combination of them. Except they aren't physical beings, they're masses of chakra. Moreover, there's no foundation for the argument that he couldn't perform a genjustu with a imperfect 10 Tails. Stat just drew the conclusion that it doesn't follow in universe. Except in universe both of those make sense because the reader is given an explanaion.
Whether or not its good is a different story. The entire 10 Tails plot isn't very good, but that doesn't mean it's not internally consistent.
"Tobi" just explained that he could execute his plan (his ultimate objective) even with a bit of chakra from the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails.
He's had the former since shit-I-don't-even-remember, and the latter since Kabuto revived Kinkaku and Ginkaku.
So why did he wait until now? It's no fun unless you're surrounded by enemies who'll try to stop you?
