...wait, what?
Edit: Well I'll be damned. And yeah, I was just thinking of the 3 "chapter" oneshot. Well now...
Rebel Leader
THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
Nozoki Ana... the one with the hole in the wall?
Yes, that was it.
And sex in every chapters taking half their pages, yes.
I suppose that Nozomi thing is the same huh?

Already read it, actually stuck on volume 11, volume 12 isn't out in France yet
Actually there isn't that much smut in SL, it's more like the devious fantasies of Onizuka in SJG/GTO than straight-up sex.
"Hey you wanna se a guy with a boner picking a lock ?" <-- that was epic

Is he picking it with his boner? this is important.

Love this manga.

Alas, no. Our MC is half naked with a boner because of the naked girls who cuffed him because of his actions in a previous chapter which prevented them from fucking a friend of his. This line is said by said friend.
Sorry, I mixed up 12 with volume 21. We're pretty far in in fact.I am stuck with scanlations.
Love this manga.
Saru Lock is pretty lame. I wonder if it got any better after the first few chapters.

Well it became more like Shonan Junai Gumi with arcs with one big bad in it, and mini light stories in between.
....yeah i just read the first chapter and there was something that looked pretty equivalent to rape, so im out.

It's been a while since I read it, but yeah that rings a bell.
I wish I had an Ice Burn.gif handy.
Yeah, it was like 5 years ago.
I might start to read it...
That moment where I think something means something and then I read the replies and realize it doesn't mean that something at all.
Also in unrelated news, that moment where I assume I have x chapters to read of a series (and plan my weekend around it) and then discover it's actually well into the xx. Welp, guess I'm not doing that anytime soon.
Beelzebub:
The part of my post you quoted was in reference to this exchange:
You've explained your opinions better now, but in that exchange you make it seem as if you would have preferred if Beelzebub get canceled over the mangas DTL listed. If that's true, that's fine it's your opinion, but don't tell me I'm not making sense with that portion of the post you quoted just because you've elaborated more on your original statement.
Giving your own thoughts is fine, but the part of my post you quoted and your response gave the impression that I didn't know Beelzebub was an action/comedy series.
Chasing popularity/what's popular is pretty much "par the course" for Jump mangas though. Other than Gintama and Hunter X Hunter, I can't think of many Jump series that haven't changed focuses/plot based on what readers enjoyed most about the series and or to save the series from cancellation. It would be nice if Beelzebub could be more like Gintama in terms of it's balance of action and comedy but Beelzebub 's author is clearly more suited to comedy than action and has proven this time and time again as his comedy shines and his action takes the quality of the series down. Whether Beelzebub should or "should not" do this is irrelevant if the series is more popular for one half of it's genre over the other.
The main reason I responded to Thud was because he stated (or implied) that Beelzebub deserved to be cancelled over Psyren, without even acknowledging the comedy and faulting it on it's "weakest/least enjoyable" points. It's like saying "One Piece is terrible, there's not enough fan service and the series isn't as funny as X comedy manga that was canceled years ago". Why criticize an action shounen series and not acknowledge the plot or the battles?
If you don't like Beelzebub or think it's "okayish" that's fine, but if you're going to criticize the series, at least acknowledge the comedy part of the series, especially when it's the part most people enjoy most (I know you have now Thud, just referring to your older posts).

Nozomi To Kimio 4-5
Chapter 4 : LET'EM BOUNCE GIRL ! Ahem.
Chapter 5 : Characters exactly look like thei Nozoki Ana counterparts, lol.

YOU RELAX!
You're right though. I have never had sex with a girl from a manga. It's amazing but somehow the biggest issue is that I keep getting rejected...and that doesn't even make any sense.
Meh. I'll give him some props though cause his statement has two possible contexts.
/clever points
I think it was that "something" and not the...uh "not something"... Yet, my overblown response still works on both levels. I never change my aggressive tone so I'm invulnerable to under or over-reading the situation. Get it?
This is the problem with the quoting system. Quoting automatically on forums means "retort" even when the foundation of posting is "commenting." Oh wait, off topic. It was just the first line in my response. I'm not like insulting your intelligence with an opening statement of my own. Just stating.
Stupid forums...
I won't argue that "now." But I've said before that I question the sustainability of how Beelze is moving. The fights were actually pretty damn good back in the delinquent era. Now they are just awful with most fights literally being jokes themselves. That runs out of steam eventually.
There's no question Beelze is funny. That's why I turn the pages...or swipe...ah never-mind.
Psyren's ending was so rushed but it was pretty good.
As for Claymore, there's still a little more catching up to do!
I'll take Medaka Box over Pysren any day honestly. Psyren should have been given a legitimate ending, though
(Grown) Mari x Ageha ending please!

He sexed the other one.

I can think of plenty of better things to spoil.
Considering that jump spoilers are actually released, read, and appreciated, I question that panel's message.

Amusing 5 page spread of the action, too.

They suit up Si hun in some garish outfit yet the sister gets some fancy clothing that is not even seemingly suited for the underworld...well at least Si hun has more power, because thus far the third hand is better than her onslaught of elemental talismans.

That was the joke.
Idol no Akahon vol 1 End
I recognized the art style instantly since all the girls looked similar to the ones in Seitokai Yakuindomo. The girl in the middle is pretty much an exact copy of Shino, they even have similar names. One surprising difference is the girl on the left isn't a Suzu clone, so that means no more "you are short" jokes, oh well didn't really miss them. Their manager was also an exact copy of Tsuda.
This is pretty much just Seitokai Yakuindomo but about a group of 3 idols instead of high school students. They use the same style of dirty jokes from Seitokai Yakuindomo and they even recycle them even though this manga only has 20 chapters.
One thing that is interesting is that in the Seitokai Yakuindomo anime there was one episode where Suzu was watching a group of idols going to a haunted school. I wonder if the idols were from this manga making a cameo appearance.

Zerozaki Soushiki's Humanity Test:
So, one of my friends told me about this. It's a new manga by Nisio.
As you might expect, it's virtually incomprehensible. I can't tell you what the hell was going on in these first 2 chapters. The main guy is pretty badass, though, and the art is great.
