People who are super into horses kind of creep me out.

@Nisekoi - I'd like to note something though. The pendant isn't Raku's, he was given it by the girl so Onodera is already out of the running (she did mention that he had that pendant when they played together) there and Mari was clearly last based off her own story anyway.
Still, it better do something, damn it.

True enough, I suppose. That and the oneshot was them and diverging that far from it would be weird. Though I suppose those have happened before. I wonder how they'll stretch things out longer now besides more

Cousin from a rival Yakuza branch.
Next will be young photography girl, then co-worker girl, then blond photography girl.
Osaka branch to be specific.
Look at Mari's hair color. It's obvious at this point Raku's brain doesn't hold any hair color variables. He probably registers all hair as black or white.
He's haircolorblind.

It's kind of funny how much Nisekoi has taken over the thread given that a) half of the people talking about it won't admit to liking it and b) it's got like 35 chapters.
Onodera
Good Ending
Lololol. GE headed towards rage-inducing mode and KNIM being relatively okay?
It seems shoujo writers want no balance in the world!
It's honestly only okay, but it's fun to read as a group. I wouldn't read it if it wasn't for the manga thread. It's partly the same reason why I stuck with Naruto and Bleach for so long despite not liking what I was reading anymore. The other reason being that I just wanted some closure, but now I don't even want that anymore.
fixed
Ruri > Chitoge > Tsugumi = Mari > Onodera
Onodera is only good for cute reactions, she's the most boring girl by far otherwise. She needs to have her father be the head of the Military or something to improve.

Because why not?
You must speak in hushed tones when you're this wrong.
Switch Chitoge with Onodera and you'd have my real ranking for the series.
but i still like rooting for Tsugumi because i'm a hipster
Naw, the young chick hasnt had any real buildup romantically. Its gotta be co-worker girl. He's gonna have some fucked up sexual healing relationship with her
alternatively the writer could end up trolling us all into a different dimension by making risa next in line

Pandora Hearts 22 - 29
Poor Eliot unable to take opinions. Eliot Nightray must make another appearance again. He is in Gil's league and actually felt, not useless, though Gil is still my favorite character. This little academy arc was fun and once again the details of what happened 100 years ago are as compelling as ever, it answered one question but opened up many more. Kind of drunk crying Gil was one of my favorite moments, hes so emotional and open with his feelings to Oz, that its really one of the most well done aspects of Pandora Hearts.
Only area where this series doesnt excel at are the actual "fight" scenes, so much emphasis is placed on the plot, history, and some emotional drive in the characters, that they have consistently failed to deliver in that regard. If the writer could only give it a little bit more power.

*brofist*
I will be the official captain of Team Mari if I have to. Has anyone else taken that position yet? Is that your post, Survivor?
I cheer for Onodera second because she is the underdog. You gotta root for the cute underdog!

If you're looking for good fights then you're not going to get it. PH is much more about plot, history, and characters that fights become a quick one-off between Chains. So yeah... How did you like the Academy arc?

Kind of my favorite arc so far. Really the introduction and use of Eliot brought something that was missing from the series, and the tone of everything was well done. I liked how Jack V. was brought back out.
I like Nisekoi. But I expect you weren't referencing me in that statement...
*nods in agreement*

Cradle of Monsters 35
Oh shit. If blind girl has any awesome kung-fu up her sleeve now would probably be the time to use it.
Nisekoi 36
Well, at least Tsugumi's being completely excluded, that's something I guess.

Ah. From this point onwards, it's going to get crazy. It's pretty much non-stop plot progression at full speed.
I was all aboard Mari when I thought she'd be the token yandere. Now it seems like she's just the obligatory different accent girl.
Her reaction faces-fu is indeed god tier. A shame she's not that interesting of a character.
Poor girl. Destined to be last place in the harem by virtue of not being chosen by a key.

Wait, I think I'm confused since I can't remember most of the names. Spoiler is apparently who I meant by "co-worker girl."
They're going to discover Tsugumi's real parents, and it will turn out that her father is the person who made the pendant and keys.

Barrage 9
Poor old man, the civilians in this series are hurt pretty badly. Alien suppression is more intense than I expected to them, and well human suppression is just as bad, at least, for Astro and that flashback.
In present time, I do wonder what other skills his weapon has.

I like how fast Viz is now with getting the special chapters, next week the naruto one in sjalpha, and they started Blue Exorcist at the end of the arc, at chp 33.

Can't wait for a cliffhanger where Tsugumi opens a drawer, sees a key, goes "huh, did i ever have this before" and the chapter ends
Hell at this point practically any form of any key in combination with any person will be the best cliffhanger ever. It's so easy.
You mean the kiss? I hope you're not forgetting a certain incident involving 1 hot spring and 1 hairy ass.
I think Kurita was the first person to go team Marika
Steel Ball Run vol 1
Man, this looks so much better than part 1 and 2. Plus I really love the settings and the racing competition.
The art was very messy sometimes, especially with all the horses so it was a bit hard to follow some of the action scenes. I hope Araki fixes that somehow

Yeah, and you were the second one to join the best team.
"Smart" side characters like him and Ruri are the best for the genre, imo.
I had no idea that this even finished to begin with.

Apocalypse no Toride 5
New guy seems cool. Seeing 2 seconds into the future though? I didn't think there would be any supernatural elements in this. Oh well, could have potential.

Nozomi to Kimio 1-5
This is a classy series that only classy people read. It's kinda like Aku no Hana if it were a borderline h-manga. Kinda. Maybe.
Apocalypse no Toride 5
DayZ mod installed. Not sure what incentive they'll have to go back to the prison if they make it to the garrison, but hey.
