Wait! There are tokyo ghoul fans that dont have kaneki hide as canon otp or kaneki ayato?
It's too bad Hooters isn't as cool as Pooters.

/edit oh i see there was a accidental ticket exchange

Glad that you enjoyed it~
Hitomi and Anzu totally stole the show as far as I'm concerned.
Best daughter in existence.
i'm glad to have read it but now i'm feeling post manga-blitz depression. Goddamnit no more chapters!
I like that the author appears to have realised that Hina is the least interesting (still interesting) character but who is a pretty great catalyst for other characters to be hilarious.
Hitomi inexplicably being an expert marksman is just freaking hilarious though.
Who said fujoshi couldn't make decent doujin?
Who said BL doujin couldn't possibly be decent?
The demographic for Tokyo Ghoul is probably tilted in favor of females, so it's not unusual for majority of its fan material to be fujoshi-oriented.
Also, the female characters of Tokyo Ghoul are generally lacking. There's no strong female presence that stands out in particular to attract a male audience like say Esdese in Akame ga Kill, or an overwhelmingly tropey design that hits all the notes like Erina in Shokugeki. I'm not surprised that there's limited interest in the females of Tokyo Ghoul.
Hitomi is inexplicably an expert at everything tho!
that's true i guess the moment she was randomly a god-tier bartender was when I should've picked up on that
now that I think about it the series this reminds me of most is if Angel Densetsu was a pure comedy instead of a shonen comedy
/edit I laughed so hard though when they had the entire chapter where Hina though she had to go, and they had this incredible focus on Niita really thinking about what she'd brought into his life, and then he just totally blows it in the last two pages

Yes, and Nitta mentioning things are going to be awkward in their future daily lives.

What a rude ex girlfriend, glad Yuuma moved on his poem was really good.
I thought this would have been a short game considering the weak reveals but should have known Marble wouldnt have made it that easy.

Is Kimi no Todoke really that good, the manga reading students in this are always around it and Eijun really seems absorbed.
An injured Furuya could mean Kawakami time.

There was a scene during the stage play arc where things aren't going well and he panicked call the female student in charge, only saying 2 key words to get his msg across to her.
Wow you guys are all bullies
hey please don't bully ok !!
I really liked the joke in the very first school chapter where given the opportunity he turned the class into a discussion on hostage-taking and yakuza
real first year middle schoolers do not have the attention span for that kind of thing. second years maybe
Some people are just bully-able, just accept it panda

A few pages into this I started wondering if this was done by the same guy who made Witches, and it was! Igarashi Daisuke's art style is definitely unique - it's quite rough and harsh, while still managing to maintain a high level of detail. As for the manga itself, I found it very interesting although owing to its length I think there's lots that could be expanded upon. For instance, it's clear that the escapee is not the only modified human, as shown when Yui says that "they modified [the escapee] bad", so it would've been interesting to see some other, less extreme examples of human modification (I'm not counting the electric larynx, since that's not technically a modification, more an augmentation.) I really liked the idea and imagery of plants in space growing to such sizes that humans could live on them. Pretty good.

I don't know how complex it can get from here but I'm excited to find out
It's been a while since I read this, but yeah, I still remember the art being a standout.
Oh, you're in for a treat~

Nantsue no Taizo 136- Last chapter the train started to move again, and this chapter I really like where the train is heading. There's a lot of dumb unanswered questions, but in general I really like the shit out of these demons. Their cool designs and continuously probe to be pretty interesting characters.
Fairy Tail 118- Haha in real terms Fairy Tail is fucked. I know this was once a combat guild, but most of it's members are weak as shit.

From Yuki Urushibara, the author of Mushishi, we have the typical single volume that it really is a compilation of short stories done in her earlier years, unpublished before, and edited now thanks to her bigger notoriety.
Almost all of them have the ephemeral, mono no aware feeling that her style is so known for, of course. Several of them have ghosts or spirits themes, there is a pair of romantic ones, and it's finalized with two chapters that were the prototype for Mushishi. Curiously Ginko isn't the mc, but two other mushishis, one a kid, the other an older guy, and here the mushis are more literal insects, not insect-spirit things. And the setting is modern instead of feudal.
The older stories can be noticed by a less polished and more common drawing style. Apart from that, we can distinguish the longer, more worked on stories from the others, as several are very short, being just 3-7 pages, sometimes with an almost experimental tone.
Overall, I recommend it, even if it's a bit below Mushishi's level.

I wouldn't say there's limited interest in females in TG. I mean Touka herself placed first on the popularity poll. Plus there's Akira, Eto, and Rize but that was in the beginning till she got screwed over by the Clowns.
Then again I shouldn't be surprised that the female fanbase is big.

Well that ending was just plain depressing, which I wasn't really expecting coming from the author of And Yet the Town Moves. I mean really, that was genuinely dark and morbid -
Even ignoring the author's other works I still wasn't prepared for that because the first few chapters, while definitely retaining the same focus on sexuality and lust that the later ones do, were far more comical; Saeko completely overthinking the cause of Shitai's death, her and the others trying to work out what Douge's dying message says and arbitrarily assigning points to people she thinks are guilty, as well as the subject of chapter one being a group of pre-pubescent kids trying to steal some porn mags. The transition to the later darker section doesn't feel mishandled, though, and nothing seemed to come out of the blue, so I really appreciated the direction it took.
Man, this just gets more twisted the more I think about it.

the motivation for advancing robot technology being that of a purely sexual nature is really unsettling, not to mention that the reason the factory murderer got pushed over the edge in the first place was because he wasn't able to have sex with a child robot. The robots essentially exist to accommodate the objectification of women, allowing those who see women that way to get away with it because "they're just robots," so it doesn't matter how cruelly they're treated.
Man, this just gets more twisted the more I think about it.
One of the best short stories I've ever read. The themes tackled were pretty thought-provoking, and the way everything unexpectedly ties together was amazing.

Have read a bit more hikaru no go and I feel the series has this growing problem that nobody is even close to Sai's level and the only drama comes from Hikaru being impulsive and fucking up when Sai tells him where to place a piece. Also for a game about playing Go I still have no idea how the game is supposed to work and actually playing the game is a fairly minor part of the series even though that's all that seems to happen in the series if that makes any sense.
