Side note, just saw the first episode of Prison School. Covered so much on just 1 episode, but I don't mind.

I never looked up info prior, so Kanahana as Hana amuses me greatly lol
I'm contemplating whether I want to check the other shows that have started this season like Prison School and Umaru. I already watched the first episode for Monster Musume and was fairly satisfied with that. But I don't want to give myself a whole bunch of shows to keep up to date on and just stick to reading the mangas instead.

Honestly, I usually end up dropping a lot of anime of manga adaptations that I've read. Not that they're all bad, but sometimes I just want to check them out for a couple episodes. I still don't know if I'll keep up with Prison School week by week, but the anime itself has been entertaining.

Having Hiroshi Kamiya as Kiyoshi worked surprisingly well.

Yay, I could finish Blade of the Immortal! It has been published all the volumes in my country.

For reference, I started reading 17 years ago... There has been a few hiatus in his publication and two editorial switches as companies were bust and licences were bought by other companies.

Well, the 17 years ago you did pick up a good series before it became well-known.

Rereading Akame Ga Kill makes me realize just how unpleasant that series is. It goes beyond edgy and just...ugh at times. Chapter 46 comes to mind.

Oh man, didn't expect the big confirmation to already happen between Yato and Bishamon. All the twistssss and learning her whole beef with Yato was really well done too.

That cliffhanger too!

New Game! 1-16

A 4 panel manga about a tiny 18 year old woman joining a game company as a character artist. It's got all the comedy and light yuri undertones you'd expect from a Manga Time Kirara series. The art's nice and the characters are fun. It wouldn't suprise me if this got an anime sometime in the future.

The Ancient Magus' Bride 1

Great first volume. There were a few things that bothered me (I would have liked to get an explanation on what's a Sleigh Beggy sooner) but I recognize that it's not a negative for the story/work (the Sleigh Beggy thing worked perfectly because just as us/me not knowing, Chise doesn't as well), just a thing with me wanting details explained faster.
I liked the character art (and the drawings in general) a lot and the setting up is pretty cool too.

Alice in Murderland 1

Not exactly a fan of the set up, though it brings up some interesting scenes. I was expecting more from the art or, well, background art (a bit too much white backgrounds). Great cover though and I guess it's cool to have a hardcover Kaori Yuki's manga.
 
The Prison School adaptation is pretty bad but the source material is so good I still laughed the whole way through it

I need to catch up on the manga...

23.5 was pretty fucking bad too. Plus it's obvious that Akame Ga Kill's writer has no idea how to handle those kind of situations. This is way past being Edgy,

For me it was that early side chapter thing where those three girls move to the city. Ughhh.

Berserk is just as edgy if you think about it, but Miura had the sense to make everything have actual weight or logic to it.
 
I really need an "in" for manga again.

I stopped around the time that thing happened in Fuuka, but I was already sort of waning myself off it. Too much work to do in college and my actual job, and every time I tried to return I struggled to find my way back into something.

I started reading manga by watching the Nisekoi anime and wanting to see where it went, and ended up falling into that deep hole of "you've read nothing so here is all the manga enjoy" recommendations from scy and this thread.

I don't really have that right now I guess. I could probably find where I left off in Shokugeki and Prison School but I doubt it would get me back to the days of having no college classes and thus proceed to fill an entire page of the manga thread with recommendations after recommendations.

I think a lot of my favourite series ended up being monthly and or ended too, which sucked.

MangaGAF, help me find an in again.

Maybe that way I'll also work up the motivation to actually proof those Mix xhapters I keep promising Akito I'll do.

Hrm.

Ever since that one girl went into a coma, I sort of dropped Akame ga Kill. I'll finish it up when the series is done. It stopped being interesting when you got used to the anyone can die gimmick. It works for series like Gundam, but it sort of got boring for this series.

Then that's not actually edgy.

That was chapter 23.5 I think,I often times even wonder why it has so much...you know. It's like the only way they can make their bad guys scary is by rape or murder. Which means they have no idea how to write a good villain. Fucking DBZ villains have more motivation than the bad guys in Akame Ga Kill.

oh, lol. But yeah, the villains are terrible. The only one that's vaguely interesting is only interesting because she's after the protag's heart. I guess it's to be expected from a guy who wrote porn games, that character motivations always boil down to sex or death.

On top of the recommendations above, try LOVE/DEATH, Hatarakanai Futari and T-Rex no Kanojo.

Also, have you read Keijo yet?

Either way, welcome back~

For some reason I thought Hitomi was aware of Hina's powers.

I wonder what repercussions we'll see from people being aware of her power.
