You say it like there arent already numerous ones in UQ Holder already. There has been a super strong powereful ferocious fem character twice in this manga so far, does Kuromaru really need to be one too?

I mean yeah, but if the issue is "I choose to be a guy because girls are too weak" I think that presents more of an issue. Especially since Tota is straight anyways, so there's that

Yeah, I'm not saying it's right. Especially since Eva is mega OP. But if you read it that's clearly the line of thinking they're going with.

I mean maybe. I can see them going that route, it'd just be really disappointing for that to be the reason behind the choice. Especially since with Eva and Dana, they're strength is more rooted in the type of creature they are and not in stuff like training. I don't care what Kuromaru chooses, but choosing guy because strength would be really, really bad imo
Not even following UQ Holder, but that obviously wasn't the point. Being a girl shouldn't prevent Kuromaru from taking on both roles. It's a silly choice to make especially when you consider the abundance of "powereful ferocious" ladies present in the Negima series already.

So I'd like to finally finish reading Berserk. Is there a legal source of the digital manga out there somewhere?

Nay, Darkhorse hasn't put out a kindle/e-book version of the series. So sadly no legal way of doing it digitally.

Hiroko such a good friend, Ria proving she is the best and most clutch when she need most. The lead up between last 3 issues was done very well, very emotional.
Only 7 more left, until ending... They better tie up loose ends, especially all the pent up sexual frustration everyone has towards minori. Give us true ending with real route, not a Minori becomes an urban legend or everyone stays platonic ending!

Kimi no Knife
A man, desperate to pay off her sister's medical bills, resorts to killing and justifies it by killing only those who are criminals. It's a standard hitman/mafia story about the morals of killing and the psychological trauma that goes along with it. There's nothing too exceptional about the characters or the story, but the plot is executed well enough to keep your interest.
My biggest problem with the manga is how undercooked some of the main characters are. Itsuki had no purpose.
Despite this, I still enjoyed it. This also has one of the better endings I've read in awhile.

My biggest problem with the manga is how undercooked some of the main characters are. Itsuki had no purpose.
She doesn't serve as anything but a romantic interest for the protagonist and the relationship never even develops to a satisfying climax. The protagonist already had her sister as a reminder of his good-willed nature. There was no need for Itsuki to serve that role too. The way the author handled Itsuki's power was also ridiculously stupid and shows how she never really planned out a purpose for Itsuki from the beginning.
It was also strange how little development Kuzumi got. He was probably the most interesting of the main cast due to the conflict of being a detective and hitman at the same time but we never got any deep look into his past. I don't even remember there being a mention of what his background was.

Angry Grimace
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
That was Kuromaru's stated intent from the first chapter we found out about Kuro's gender - "I will be a man because men are stronger" and later, "I will be a man to help Touta fight things." The ending clearly references that attitude, but its not new and I don't think that's the way it will go down. It's far more likely it will be left as ambiguous as it was to begin with. I think Kuro choosing to become male because s/he loses a fight to random goons is probably on the bottom of the list of likely outcomes somewhere near "Kuro gets killed by the random goons."
And yeah, all of Negi's companions were girls except Kotarou and he was a bit of a wuss compared to at least some of them. There's no way Akamatsu is gonna have Kuromaru drop out of the harem, even if s/he thinks about doing so real hard.

I would imagine that gender relations would be incomprehensibly different in a genderless species that wilfully picks whether to become male or female at Age 17 based on who they are attracted to.

You guys are over thinking this, this whole attack was likely set up so that Touta could white knight Koromaru and hopefully awaken his feelings for her by protecting the cute girl. Someone's probably sapping her strength.
Whenever I see Shirayuki, I see a grown up Nozomi.

The Little Match Girl 3
If I keep lighting matches then maybe this manga will stick with a regular release schedule.
So many creative things she could've done with that match, but instead she went all Genocide Jack on the painting in full view of everyone. It's no wonder she's lacking as an artist. "Envy" is indeed a magnificent work of art though. It's responsible for so many wonderful moments in short stories like these.

Yea the snippets of her past in the latest chapter really helps with that for me.

So Red Hawk Scans are dead. RIP Hayate in English. Nisekoi, Fuuka, and Seven Deady Sins should be fine though due to Shounen Jump and Crunchyroll.

Another case in which friendship and great character designs should have been introduced in the first chapters. Best BLue made the same mistake as Kagamigami.

of course there is, Best BLue final chapter is this week and no world trigger though.
Tokyo Ghoul: re
Need a couple more chapters to fully digest the second half of this. I'm not sure if its just the translation but the dialogue between Haise and Kaneki is super confusing even after having read it a couple times. I seem to vaguely remember them starting this conversation in a previous chapter but couldn't find it, am I imagining or does anyone have a chap/page #?
The first half was wonderful. The QS really have grown on me

Gods Left Hand, Devil's Right Hand END
Well that was...something. Rather nonsensical, pretty gruesome and I think the words "aaaaaaah" "gwaaaaaaaah" and "sister" were said about 10,000 times each.
At times it felt more like a black comedy then a horror series, it may be rather gruesome but I still burst out laughing when Sou was possessed and shot a fucking harpoon gun which missed, bounced off a car and impaled his mother in the chest. Like c'mon, that is hilairous.
The final page, THE VERY LAST PAGE OF THE SERIES is a monkey drawing the big bad guy, turning to the viewer and smiling like an evil asshole. C'mon. This is a comedy.

wow the arrests keep on coming
They've probably decided to crack down since stuff has been coming out so early. We saw the same thing a few years ago when we started getting Wednesday scans, they cracked down pretty hard. It's just what happens when raws are coming out way too early.
