Kaiji Part 2 - vol 5, 6

YFA5D.jpg

THE BOG IS HERE, MY BODY IS READY

Sakazaki really trusts people too easily. He didn't even investigate Kaiji or try to test him to see if he is a trustworthy guy. Just saw him being badass at scaring off some kids and asked him to be his partner. Desperate times call for desperate measures I guess.

One noticeable difference from the anime is that the Bog looks way smaller. I'm pretty sure the anime version Bog was much bigger and the trays with the balls were also much bigger. Then again, that one doesn't top the ridiculous live action film version.

Poor Sakazaki getting played like a fool for an entire volume. He never stood a chance at winning yet that glimmer of hope when the last ball went in made it more sad knowing he won't win. He kept fighting and having hope until his final moments. He really does trust people too much. First hoping that Kaiji wouldn't rat him out and also trusting that friend at the casino which obviously backstabbed him leading to the plan's failure

Fairy Tail

Uhh... what did I just read lol? Tbh i'm not sure why Mashima thought his readers would be interested in watching that Blue Pegasus troll make a mockery of himself over the fight between the Leon vs Kagura fight. Oh well, hopefully the next chapter's good.

Kono S wo Mi Yo! Vol 11

What a twist! /Mnight Lots of great shit happening in this chapter. We also get a bit of Ootori's background and it makes him a little more sympathetic and look like creepier or a bigger bastard. Makoto continues to be the highlight in this series though, <3 Makoto.

The random untranslated words are starting to get really annoying.
 
Kuroko no Basket 175

Akashi is going to whoop some ass if not all his other teammates will. I think that jittery 2nd year small forward will screw around with them.

errrrr this arc is so far just weird and not in an interesting way. It's just slowly moving.

uhh, that had to be an awkward chapter for Keima. Hopefully this speeds up a bit it's been moving kind of slowly for the last few chapters.

TWGOK has gone into some territory that smutgaf will eat up.
This pleases me indeed.
Chimoguri Ringo 1-3

This is pretty cool. It's a weird manga about an evil guy with a fishbowl for a head who is turning people into fish and the swimsuit wearing people who try to stop him. It's very crazy and imaginative and the art is great.
The premise alone sounds hilarious.
Love Hina was fucking stupid.

Yeah, it would be very weird if one was Keima but you just can't say no to Mama Katsuragi fanservice. lol @ the content of Elsie's bag, she so adorable.

Elsie's face when Keima asked her a question was killing me. She's so good. Also those bag contents.

Fairy Tail

Looks like we're done with any of the guilds that aren't Fairy Tail or Sabertooth. This arc is running pretty long in Mashima standards, so I guess he finally snapped.

I don't look forward to when the dragon mystery is revealed. That speech at the end hinted at some very silly possibilities.

I know right?! Such a cute pairing. I really wish that this manga would be weekly with 30 pages! EEEK!

Innocent couples are so good for these kinds of stories.

...this one month between chapters, even if they are 30 pages, is rough though :(

Goblin Night

There's a bunny girl in this.

Rough summary: 'Goblin Night' refers to an event that happened six years ago, after which people could turn into 'goblins' (basically demons). Some people are strong goblins, others are weak. Since their abilities are a bit supernatural, chaos descended because the government couldn't take care of those who decided to go rogue. Ushibi Mamoru is one of those who can transform into a goblin, and his Goblin form is Kozuki (Bull-horned Demon), with strong fire abilities. He ignores those who ask for his help and uses his Goblin as he pleases.

The art seems a bit weak, but it might be the style. The sort-of post-apocalyptic setting is interesting and easily expandable. I'm glad that the story didn't go where I thought it would, and the way Mamoru's Goblin worked had an interesting twist. The aloof attitude of Mamoru's character plays nicely into the Goblin power as well. If it got serialized right now, it could definitely beat out Takamagahara.

The bunny girl is a main character, so I guess that helps. The name could probably also be read as Goblin Knight, the 'knight' referring to Kozuki.

Probably won't be scanlated for a good couple of months though.

Will never understand why tl are so against using the anime and official manga names. Anyway, LYON not losing was actually pretty good and I didnt find fault with it being an off panel fight largely.

Pretty hyped for the next chapter though as Ive been waiting for this. A four dragon slayers team battle, with the best dragonslayers in the series (Natsu, Gajeel, Rouge) fighting it out will probably be intense and amazing. I wonder if he will extend it over five or more chapters.

The dragons look great.

Kaiji Part 2 - vol 7, 8, 9

Total and complete despair . That moment when the last ball failed to hit the target must have sucked a lot for Sakazaki. Ichijou is a fine troll, telling Sakazaki to keep gambling with the last 6 millions yen as if it would have made a difference. Love the page when Kaiji realized the trick to beating the Bog.

The greatest team up ever is formed in the next volume. Endo still being an asshole even when he is desperate and needs the money as much as Kaiji. I think I would have preferred it more if they got a girl to join their team just like the movie, but with Fukumoto's art, it probably wouldn't have made a different, she will look like a guy anyway. The nail thing still looks painful, I thought, but Kaiji's reaction face is fucking amazing. The trick Kaiji used to get to Ichijou's office is really cool. Relying on Sakazaki to act crazy to distract everyone while sneaking in to the office and even then, Ichijou would have no idea that Kaiji's real goal is just to cast away their suspicions. Just amazing.

The face of the devil. Such a crazy and sadistic dude going as far as broadcasting the match to show the prisoners the futility and helplessness of their situation. I fucking loved it when the gates were finally broken, amazing buildup to it. I didn't bother reading all the science and explanations behind it, I'd much prefer my version of Kaiji breaking the gates through will and determination only. I can't wait until he starts explaining how he planned to beat the plates, probably most ridiculous and crazy part of his entire plan

Was there any reason at all to insert that image?

Young Keima's game chair cracked me up. Also, shoutouts to Sega Game Gears. :lol

Mama Katsuragi is still a top tier troll.

Lol at the first half. Looking forward to the Dragon Slayers fight, unless Mashima makes it last only a chapter.

Kare no Satsujin Keikaku [oneshot]



Oneshot about a guy who decides to kill someone.

something something Mohiro Kitoh.

Kind of a weird/creepy story, but not bad. I was actually expecting
the girlfriend
to pop at the end
instead of that guy
, but it was still good.

Poor Madarame, after being misunderstood as a sadomasochist a while ago, now he is acknowledged as a lolicon. But now that Saki's mentioned it, he really kinda have a harem going on.
It great to see how everything seems to be like the old times just because Saki is back. Hopefully Kousaka will drop by as well, after he's obliterated his gaming opponents of course.

Koguresou Monogatari 1-7


A charming little manga about a bunch of people who live in an apartment. It's pretty standard josei slice of life stuff, but it's fairly well done. Needed more peeper-kun though.
