Au contraire, the best time to read bartender is when you have a fully stocked liquor shelf so you can reproduce drinks.

That's both the best and the worst idea ever.
EDIT : Plus, he seems to love Chartreuse. I like that too, but it's quite strong.
Binbougami ga 1-13
Before the anime announcement, this was pretty far off my radar based only on the initial premise. After the first anime PV I decided it was worth it to look over the first two chapters and saw that it was a fair bit more complex than the summary alone would make it seem to be, to my satisfaction.
Anyway, in the wake of the pretty good first few weeks of the anime, I decided to read ahead a little further to see what kind of stuff will be coming up for adaptation.
Chapters 12 and 13 made that a good decision.

Skip Beat isn't finished yet ? I think I put it on hold around the time
Haruka (is that the MC's name ?) is finally acting in a series, and is so good at it she freaks out other actors

Kyoko. And
which series? She's done two dramas (Dark Moon - Mio, Box R - Natsu) so far. I'm willing to bet her Setsuka role may end up in that drama too just because. Current arc is an on-and-off arc on Ren's past
If nothing else, some progress on the pairing may have finally happened.
lololol

As i always thought Hilda>>>>Aoi.

It seems like the 4 of them obtained food honor. That meteor shower attack was great.
The only good thing about Eyeshield is Hiruma.

What are you doing posting here, hurry watch it and catch up! Its gotten really good, imo.
Claymore raws are out, as well as early spoilers.
Basically, Raki pulls Claire from the Pryscilla blob. We finally see what a claymore's body looks like, it's split right down the middle. At birth they're cut open and yoma organs are transplanted. That it...nothing else. I was expecting more this chapter, but I guess we'll have to wait for next month for that. PEACE.

Fuck yeah, Clare finally back from MIA. It's pretty weird we never got a glimpse at the freakishly long cut on the front side of the claymore's bodies though.

I should check out Bartender, seems interesting.
I thought Akumetsu to be pretty weak, although the brutality and social commentary are interesting. It seems like the Author's dream himself, actually, to be able to hack and slash all those dirty politicians with super powers, hahaha. It was incredibly over the top and bombastic.
Better than Wolf Guy, though.

Sometimes there are walls of text about how the Diet runs, the ins and outs of Japan's economy too. It's still interesting though.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Akumetsu is awful. Like Wolf Guy awful, for a reason.

Now that's just an exaggeration. Akumetsu = awesome. WG = bleh.
Takamagahara 1-5
Generic shonen is generic. Wait'n'see.
Assassination Classroom 1-5
lol wtf @ the completely random premise, characters, situations, everything.
Can't wait to read more.
Aoi = Hilda
And Eyeshield is great until what I will refer to as the "epilogue".
I prefer Bartender simply because of the art style. I've been meaning to check out the jdramas because of Miri but he's still disappeared and hasn't returned =(
One Piece has once again set the record for the largest ever manga first print run, with Shueisha shipping out 4.05 million copies of volume 67 this Friday. That's 50,000 more than the last volume.
With this volume, lifetime printing numbers for One Piece are now over 270 million.
Here's some more insane stats:

GODA strikes again
These are some god damn pretty covers. Now I wanna read this manga
Bought a whole bunch of manga today, this being one of them. Yen Press compiled it into an Omnibus and the front and back are the covers of both volumes (thankfully). Will give impressions later.
Also bought Captain Commando, Sengoku Basara, Saturn Apartments 1-4 and Megaman Gigamix 1-3. Today is a good day.
Awesome, I got the Yen Press edition last week. Was a bit worried about the second cover missing but it was cool seeing it it on the back.
Saturn Apartment is also a good flawfuls approved manga. Really good episodic stories.

Woah, beautiful cover art. What's that manga all about?
From what I read so far, the God of Sun, Apollo has imprisoned a prince called Ganymede in his garden and is dicking around with him. Hades is also supposed to show up at some point in the manga, probably fucking around with Ganymede as well. It has cool bishounen art with some nice gods trickery and deception.
Bartender sounds decent.
This was what I was originally going to suggest, but I read like read like 40 chapters of it years ago. Pretty sure Upandaway has read it completely too.

Both the anime and manga as they came out. I stopped with the manga around 2006-2007. Also read Akumetsu.
Kongou Banchou is pretty high up my wishlist, seems fun. You could pick a few contenders and we'll both read the first chapter of all of them next weekend.
Glancing over my wishlist again, is Sun-ken Rock silly enough? I skipped all your posts but I remember you guys talking about it.

Nice short bits about a girl who looks and acts scary but isn't.
Doesn't do anything new, but it's a nice read.

Hotarubi no Mori e vol 1 End
A collection of 4 short stories, one for each season, by Yuki Midorikawa, the author of Natsume. The stories really feel like rejected Natsume plots without all the youkai and bromance
Overhearing a Flower Song: Shima meets Fujimura, a troubled boy who stopped playing guitar due to his injured hand. Shima tries to get closer to him by getting him to teach her the guitar and love develops between them. Pretty standard stuff, but it was handled very effectively and nicely.
Into the Forest of Fireflies' Light: The main story of the manga as it was named after it, and it's the only story to get an anime adaptation. Honestly, I preferred the anime version by Brain's Base much better. The forest was more alive and the music really made the ending work much better. Reading this did remind me that watching anime is so insufficient. It took me less than 10 minutes to read the chapter while it took 40 minutes to watch it's anime version.
The Fallling of Autumn Leaves: A bit too dramatic love story but I'm kinda of a sucker for the way it played out. Tsubaki, an energetic girl, is overprotective of her childhood friend, Kaede, to the point that she is playing the role of a ninja following him everywhere to protect him. Really cool premise with a nice happy ending.
Deepening the Scar: My second favourite story of this collection, so bittersweet, especially the lead up to the ending. Ritsu's dilemma about her feelings for her brother were very interesting and it was sad seeing her try to live in the past so she wouldn't lose her brother. This story really gave me a lot of 5 Centimeters Per Second vibes with Natsume's style of storytelling. It was brilliant.

Even though it's supposed to be shoujo/josei, I don't think romance plays a big role, at least from what I read and from the tone of the manga.
Really, I was expecting it regardless of what gender she turned out to be.
Thus the power of Sexykawa

For once, we agree.
Only for once?
You aren't still bitter about choosing the wrong team in Nisekoi, are you?
