Bakuman
So Saiko and Shujin want to stick to their integrity and end the manga when they desire instead of dragging it out for the anime? So then why the fuck aren't Ohba and Obata following that advice and end Bakuman long time ago?
But whatever, I don't need to complain. Anything they do to end this faster is fine by me.

1. Can someone recommend me some manly series in the vein of Sanctuary, Fist of the North Star etc.?
2. Is Jojo's Bizarre Adventure good? Can someone give me a run-down of the series? It seems to be quite the clusterfuck...

THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
All hail Momo, all hail Momo.
Sun-Ken Rock.
Really insane unique powers (goes from Ueki-level power usage to the level of paradoxes in symmetrical docking with other paradoxes), lots of mindgame in the fights, awesome quotes, etc. I personally think it's basically to the old shonen what One Piece is to the new post-DBZ shonen (nobody kill me for this, please, God's Beard STAY. STAY!) in terms of building on charted territory and perfecting it, at least for the first 4 parts, then it gets a bit more serious.
Also it's really really good. It's really long but that's a given when it covers an entire legacy. It's not drawn out or anything. And no clusterfuck, just read in order.

I already know Sun-Ken Rock but.. it hasn't really caught me. I'll give it another try, eventually.
This sounds fucking awesome. I'm starting it right now.

Ok, I haven't even finished the first volume of JoJo and I'm already in love.
Satirical mahjong manga? Sounds too ridiculous not to read.

Addicted to Curry 1-94
By a complete freak accident I looked at this since I thought "This Manga can't possible be about curry can it?".
I was pretty much instantly hooked and blazed through the available chapters since yesterday. Such a fun manga with great characters. Looked it up further and apparently there are already a lot of chapters available. Looking forward to how this continues, I really really like it.
But I get so hungry while reading it. I need to try one of the recipes this week.

Its dungeon conquest time!
Its pretty good. I drool when I read this manga.
mmm. Reborn team will be in it till the end no doubt. I was hoping Skull would be in it for longer but he got molested (in the face). Its Mammon or Verde next fo sho.

I'm really curious what Aladdin has to offer now, after Ugo told him everything. As things are now, the dungeon shouldn't be hard, but something will probably mess them up.
Edit: Wait, so who will get the Djinn? Ali doesn't have a second weapon that we know of, and Mor will use a household vessel.
Well I guess it's possible for Ali to start stocking up on vessels... there's no way he'll stay with one forever. It doesn't make sense for Mor to get it though, because her vessel should activate before finishing the dungeon, and even Sinbad's followers have household vessels.
I'm guessing the prince already has one because the princess does.
Eh, whatever. We don't even know how it's decided who's the individual that captures a dungeon among a group. Onwards!

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is by far the best Shonen manga of all time. The artwork is awesome and only improves as time goes on, evolving into the best and most creative fashion design in manga. The story is consistent, yet consistently refreshing because at the end of every major story arc it gets reset with new protagonists and antagonists. As the most inventive manga out there, it's become the 2nd longest running manga ever without the slightest hint of losing steam. It has more characters than any other series, but because of the format it never loses track of itself, and rarely becomes confusing.
It's so good, that the author lives in a mansion and his designs get repped by Gucci.

JoJo Vol. 2
"This is not a 'Plan'! It is 'Bravery'!"

araki has that keanu reeves immortality as well.
Christ, how old is he? He seriously doesn't look a day over 30, maybe even younger than that.
I remember he was born in 1960 (since we have this discussion every OT) so he should be 52 now.
It's a bit crazy.
52?! That's just ridiculous. I can only hope I look that young when I'm his age (Even thought I'm 100% sure I won't).
EDIT: I'm sure Araki is doing something along the lines of this to keep his youth
It is fucking awesome. Nations solve their differences with hot blooded mahjong action.
The cast has the then PM of Japan, Koizumi, both president Bushes, Kim Jong Il, the Pope(!), Putin, Tymoshenko (the hot PM from Ukraine) and a couple of more characters after the twist.
so. awesome.

Kojima's like this too.
Well dang, I forgot to think about a new daily with all the Passover chaos, guess the rainbow fest is extended by one week.
Sakurai too, they all took Araki's mask
The Sacred Blacksmith(c30)
-So who reads this one then?
Story is just a generic medieval type kingdom deal. Only cool twist is Luke's vision fading from this forging. I like the line of seeing Cecily in a dress as it foreshadows his loss. But there is some really friggin shit art that annoys me.
My face after reading the latest Bakuman chapter.

Yet this panel is great...
I'm not going to paste more art but there is some real stinkers. Not sure how it is that inconsistent.

This is giving me some heavy Hokuto no Ken vibes which is a good thing. Sad to see Zeppeli gone so soon, I liked him.
I'm also baffled how something as graphical like this could have been featured in Shonen Jump. I guess those were braver times.

Hopefully Renzo Shima can actually get a chance to fight well in this. Movie and the possibility of the anime being dubbed, at some point, now if the manga could go weekly, it would be the best year for blue exorcist yet.
Oh hopefully composer for the series returns.

Wow didnt realize it was out long ago. And yes that was stupid, although the way it was delivered was soul crushing to who survived except for one guy. Now to the next round.
