Fairy Tail:
Great chapter, glad to see the strongest members of FT come together. I'm sooo ready to see them stomp Sabertooth. This has suprisingly been one of my favorite arcs of the series so far.
And does anyone have any guess to what element of Dragon Slayers Sting and Rouge will be? Since Sting's epitaph is the "White Dragon", I'm guessing it will be ice... it just seems to match up nicely since Natsu is fire, so you have the whole "Fire vs Ice" thing. As far Rouge goes, that one I'm still clueless on. It looks like he's going to be Gajeel's rival, so maybe it will be whatever the counterpart to metal is (Which I have no idea what that would be)?

Arguing against a primordialist perspective on ethnic politics. It's entirely accurate, but I wish they'd used a proper hyphen.
Wood or water, although that's not very exciting.

Was there actually a normal message on the last page that got replaced?
And it'll be interesting to see how we get from here to the teaser page at the start of the arc, with modern Keima looking down at his child self.

Thank you for this glorious link. I was just thinking of re-reading that chapter (and the lead up to it).

Why are you reading Negima again?
A victim I hope.
Signifying a change of heart maybe?
I want to understand that post but.....................................................Ayumi.
It's definitely the math.
Magi - Chapter 114
Man, Sinbad is unstoppable. But... that's an interesting revelation. It seems that Sinbad's past is going to be a major plot point eventually. I wonder how the prince is doing, we haven't seen him in a while. Is he still missing an arm? Is someone going to build him automail? I wanna know!

They're going to go on a journey for Solomon's Stone so Hakuryuu can get his arm back.
He's going to journey with his sister, who will also be voiced by Kugimiya!

Damn, Sinbad is ruthless. I wonder what he's planning for Aladdin's Wisdom of Solomon.

Meh, this really needs to start mixing it up soon or I'll end up losing interest in it.

Yeah but it was short and pointless, just a comment on Keima being in a child's body. Those outros aren't actually written by Wakaki, they're added by the editor for the serial and removed in the volumes. I decided to have fun with it this week.
Fistbump to everyone who caught the shoutout.

Ongoing monthly manga is such a chore to read sometimes. Glad I never got into American comics.
I missed it, but yeah it's there. xD Didn't know you where active in the scanlation scene.
Considering the plants and all for Zagan, I wouldn't be surprised if his new arm is something "alive" like that.
You say that as if that's a bad thing.

"Walking abortion pamphlets". This dialogue is amazing.

I see you too already envision Hakyuru's voice to be Romi Park which is quite fitting!

I seriously think Akashi Seijuro team is too OP(yeah I said it). He's a generation of miracles captain that has a team of 3 crownless kings and 1 unaccounted for player that's most likely his right hand man(speculation on my part)? That's the team to beat right there.
Given Seijuro size and funky eyes, he's probably a playmaker that can help the others score. I bet he plays like D. Wade.

Living Game vol 2
This volume starts with the problem that began in the previous one regarding the landlord not wanting Izumi to live with Fuwa. I don't really see the point of giving Mitsuo that old connection with the landlord (they both fell in love 10 years ago). Did we really need another couple with 10+ years age difference? We already got Mitsuo and his wife and that served the same purpose as this new revelation. Not to mention that the coincidence feels like it came straight out of a bad Turkish drama, didn't mesh well with the solid writing. Oh and that forced marriage plan was also stupid.
Anyway, after the issue is solved, Fuwa and Izumi finally get free time at the apartment, and then the manga heads into probably creepy territory for some people. Tokiko gives them a present which is just bunch of condoms. Doesn't sound that bad except for the fact that Fuwa is 25 and Izumi is 15. Really weird how everyone involved seemed fine with it. Well at least Fuwa keeps contemplating whether it's right or wrong and comes to the conclusion that he shouldn't do it cause it's illegal. Then it turns out that there no laws concerning that matter which was surprising. I do wonder if that was actually true or just something the author made up.
After that it's just bunch of sexual tensions between Fuwa and Izumi which goes nowhere and then we get to the old man subplot. His story was weak and I felt it was just an excuse to get Fuwa and Izumi to start fighting. At least, the Isseki date with the rich woman was very entertaining.
Just like the first volume, very solid writing and the manga flows naturally which makes reading it very fun. I also liked the first 10 coloured pages, I don't recall seeing that style in other manga, makes it very distinctive.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Well if they just went with Gerard, Erza, Makarov, Gildarts and Laxus it wouldn't be very interesting. (yeah, I know Gerard isn't technically in FT, but Mystogan is, and even if he wasn't, Mirajane is standing around)
Also, lol at random untranslated word at the end.

blood and steel 6
that was pretty intense, kinda bullshit how the master loses though. they just introduce his slight blindess out of nowhere. Was the guy the master was fighting the assistant master of the other school?

lulz at the MangaGAF shoutout - I wonder what your other readers think that is, particularly given that ManGAF probably doesn't turn up much in Google and your username on your site is not "Ignis"

Sinbad is crazy. Does that curse mean he has a time limit? Or is it always stuck at halfway? Man, Sinbad is crazy.
I'm thinking that Alibaba's "strong resistance" to the curse has to do with him having a smaller "dark side" than other people. Out of all the characters so far he seems the most good, even more than Mor and Aladdin.
So far it's working better than before.

I don't think 1001 Nights had anything to do with limb regeneration so it's all free domain now. He could stay one-handed while only materializing a hand in battles (using Zagan).
A few months ago I came to the conclusion that when I read a monthly chapter, by default I go to the one chapter before that and read all of it.
So far it's working better than before.
Nice. I also noticed that Oda's workroom is clustered. These seem to reflect on something. Hang on, I think I found out where Kubo works his magic:
Kaiji Part 2 - vol 3,4
The prison arc really is one of the greatest things to come out of Kaiji. Greatly paced, high tension and just all around fantastic mind games. Kaiji was awesome at playing the chief, aggravating him just so he will lose his composure during the game.
Then of course comes the actual with great strategy and mind games. I always loved the flawless logic Kaiji used to allow himself and his friends to use the special dice and beat the chief.
These two volumes flew by too fast so I hope when I get to the bog parts, the manga doesn't slow down too much.

I generally do that when monthly manga go on a long break like what happened with Blood Lad.
He's got a really nice view. If I remember correctly, Oda's work studio is a desk covered in cigarette butts. LOL! PEACE.
I usually have a pretty good memory and don't really need do that. There's just something about Trinity Seven that seems to make my brain turn into mush.
I'm probably going to read the past couple chapters, or maybe even the entire series, before 19 comes out.
Who is that in your avatar. Dio? Raiden?
I hope he playing like Wade/Rose too, if he just your typical classic PG its will pretty bleh.. I think I never see a scoring PG as major chara/rival in basketball manga before.
If that was Kubo's room, wouldn't it just be filled with too many people? All of which would serve no actual purpose.
