Nice, thanks for the effort.
Decided to read bunch of one shots, maybe I will find another good one like Mud
Always Together
Two fat high school kids start losing weight so they can date the person they like. If it wasn't obvious from the name of the one shot, they don't go after the people they like but instead end up dating each other after spending all that time together losing weight and so on. Standard stuff, nothing too special.
Black Coffee (Rie Fuji)
Crap art, boring shit, had to force myself to finish it and it was only 25 pages.
Boiling Head
Uh, wat? For a manga with this description "Boiling Head or the attempt at a scientific-fantastic metaphor for being in a mental conflict situation.", it was really underwhelming. Guess being only 9 pages didn't allow for anything big to happen. It did look pretty so that's something
Children Can't Choose Their Parents
A dude has a chicken as his girlfriend, they have sex and make weird babies or something. Shame it was only 9 pages long.
Eh, it doesn't hurt to get a good idea about the industry and see what some of your favourite manga are doing compared to other manga.

Anshin is such a tease. She can end this right now if she wanted. Kind of saps all the tension from the situation.
Don't think I like that the final battle in this arc is friggin shiratori. I want fights, not word games!

Can't they just, like, fight or something? I gave up on following what was going on about 3 pages in.
Q and A 19+20
For a second there, I thought this manga was going to take a radical left turn into Cage of Eden territory. Pretty funny couple of chapters. It's weird reading something that's more gag-based by Adachi. I'm not really sure what direction it's gonna go from here on out, I doubt they're going to get super serious about track and field.

We've been in this war arc for almost 2 years now. I wouldn't be surprised if it lasted another year with how its pacing been going so far. Tobi demasked 2013 confirmed.

It's Shiritori, but needlessly complicated. Really, this whole match is going to be a nightmare for non-Japanese fans of the series. Fuckin Nisio.
Still no excuse for shitty opinions. Having a shit opinion has nothing to do with whether I feel your opinion is right or wrong, but when someone posts a thought on something without much reasoning to back it up other than a massive amount of claims, then your opinion sucks. It's just offensive as fuck especially since a lot of these opinions are meant to be taken legitimately, especially on a message board of all places. I think people are forgetting we're in a forum rather than a social website like facebook or a lowest common denominator forum such as gamefaqs. If you want to come in and establish yourself as an opposing opinion to my own, at least make it clear that your opinion is solid, and if you can do that you're okay with me and I'll give you the proper respect and response. I've done it to others here before...unfortunately, none of them are Beam.

You do understand nobody is actually talking to you, right.

I really can't see him avoiding a Tobi reveal beyond this fight, though, so it's going to have to be either Sasuke, the evil Sage, or Orochimaru. I suppose it's possible that Tobi lives through the fight without dying. But he's still getting unmasked I think.
Well, you did bring him up for no particular reason, breh.

He's talking to mysticwhip, not me. It's just an insane bit of foresight that I happened to accurately predict that particular rant.

Naruto being with us at least until 2014 is great. He might as well also do a lengthy arc of Naruto being hokage. I think there is much desire that people do want to see this, as well as seeing Naruto and Sasuke as partners.

Faust and Mephistoles interaciton is interesting if theyre supposed to be in contract with each other. Otherwise how will the three characters play out now and what is their end goal? With main character showing signs of some powers, I wonder if some evil entity will appear, other than the roaming guardians.

It is. Yet I recently did a reminder of Spice & Wolf and MMY still has a lot to do to match up. There are like true "baddass" moments in S&W and that isn't the case with MMY yet. The salt bridge is the closest but that is nothing compared to Holo doing her crazy stuff. They both have their emotional moments but MMY is much more to the comedic, which is fine. And not to ramble on, most other areas lean towards S&W, not counting Holo's unfair adorableness. What MMY can do though to match up is use its "scale." S&W is still an isolated adventure where MMY is a continental struggle with huge battles, etc... It needs to keep things up there and give us more character growth along with interesting dialog.
Yep, S&W vs. MMY for no reason. Still an interesting comparison.
So tsundere for each other.

I don't care that Naruto is the source of ridicule for like, 99% of you guys in here: this news makes me happy :3
The last HxH chapter... oh ._.
I've put HxH on hold a long time ago due to the regular hiatuses
Medaka Box
Now I want to see Anshin using all of her 10.000.000.000.000.000 skills at once. But yeah, I'm getting tired of the convoluted moonrunes games as well.
Medaka Box
This chapter gets 5
out of 5.
But seriously, does anyone understand this game? I at least vaguely understood the other ones, but this one I just gave up on by page 5.
Haha
I don't really get the game either, I guess we'll just have to see it play out. Awesome chapter, even without the promise of an actual "fight", i'm still hyped.
Medaka Box
Dunno what you guys want, it's a simple game. I think I got it.
The game itself will be convoluted as hell and full of insane YOU ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD (love those), yeah, but the rules themselves were pretty easy to digest.

Huh? What are you talking about, HxH ended after the last hiatus. Here is the final page:
Medaka Box
Ajimu panels are best panels.
Anyway, Medaka Box 155 - Was expecting worse. The logic of the game isn't too bad to follow but I don't think I'll have anything to say about the flow of the match at all. How saddening.
Incidentally ... what the hell was Nienami's style? Or was it really just her seven-sword thing?

Pretty obvious that jump want kishi to keep the manga running, at least until they get one or two more big hits in the magazine.
I forget who it was who wanted to ban bet me it would end by latest next year.

Naruto:
1.5+ years isn't that long when you consider shounen manga pacing. In One Piece for example, the time between the Straw Hats being separated and reunited was 2+ years, and in Bleach, the entire "Espada invasion" arc lasted 2+ years. So 1.5+ years in Naruto time would be "ending soon" based on what you guys have been discussing in regards to the war and Sasuke bringing Orochimaru back, etc... That may just be the amount of time Kishimoto needs to wrap up those elements vs adding new stories/creating new bad guys.

Well, that happened :lol
He can't really delude himself out of this one, can he? If he does, I could nominate mental aerobatics for an olympic sport. But otherwise they're kind of done.

To translate years into chapters, 2 years are somewhere around 85 chapters when the author takes a normal amount of breaks.
I really should catch up on this.
Think of the Wednesdays! They'll never be the same in a few years.

Pretty much. It'll be another three months before Sauce reappears, six before he and Naruto have any contact....
