Damn, I think Wizard's Soul just ended in Japan. :'(
Don't worry, this is more about a story where Sai is a catalyst and you don't have to understand the intricate of Go.

I'm okay with the former (I just want to see Hikaru grow a bit quicker then he has) but the latter while maybe not important to the story is more a personal frustration. If I'm reading/watching something about a sport/game real or fake I want to have some idea of what the heck the rules are and how the game is played so that I can have an understanding of the eb and flow of the competition. I'm sure there are plenty of how to play go guides online, I just wish the manga series about it spent a bit more time explaining people completely unfamiliar with the game the basics.
The thing is Go follows a simple set of rules, it's just that most people aren't at the level to understand the opening, mid game and end game tactics. The games in that series was supervised by Go professional.

Tokyo Ghoul:re 40
Either Saiko will find a way to escape or she'll get kidnapped. I wanna say the latter because Ishida drew a picture that showed Saiko with Ayato so she will probably get kidnapped. I have to say while Urie is shit he was going off the rails wreaking him Kanae. He's probably still jealous of Takeomi for breaking that Ghoul's neck lol. Let's hope Urie doesn't go insane for his own sake.
It seems Shirazu has his own Stand with Nutcracker.😆 Seriously though the guy has some PSD issues over Nutcracker. Torso is still a creepy fucker. He literally said him and Mutsuki are connected through their knives. We finally see a Ghoul use a Quinque which was stolen from CCG and the reason for the Auction arc. The last page really takes it all just seeing how insane that mysterious Ghoul's design is.
Hopefully the Yamori group and the Tatara subordinate aren't jobbers. Please don't let it be and I especially don't want the mysterious Ghoul at the end to be a jobber.
It was nice knowing you Saiko.😌

Nisekoi 136-181
Finally the latest chapter! I'll echo what has been said about it: it's so odd to see the plot moving. If they keep the pace, I'll be a happy camper.
Not really? I do think that they look good together. Then again, I feel the same way about Chitoge at least. Onodera... hmmm, it feels like she would be a boring choice at the end, tbh, but I won't hate the series if Raku ends up with her.
I do admit to be easily swayed by the last chapter I read, however.
Now to wonder what will my next read will be. Most likely will be Itoshi no Karin. Good thing this one's finished already. I need to find more series like that...

Blue Excorcist 70: I really wish this series would be released quicker. Very selfish thing to ask, but I am really liking where everything is going. I just really wished it would move a little quicker without ruining what I think is pretty great pacing.

I'm sorry! So it didn't get translated yet? Why?Way to rub it in
Cause tons of heavy editings are required.
What I think about every non-Jump manga ever.

Oh. So it'd be (theoretically) more work for you than me?
Sensou Gekijou v1
Fukuchi kept retweeting about v2 of this coming out so I checked out the first volume. This is pretty fun. Character designs are amazing, and the concept's nice for a short chapter manga. It's a Sunday gag series with 10 page chapters.
Ruri's demon > angel (though they're both great), for Midori the angel is clearly superior. From what I read it didn't break from the formula too much but it probably will at some point.
I feel like the real war here will be among the fanbase for who is best girl between angel and demon

Purple Qualia 1-18 (END)
So that was...not what I expected it to be. I think the way I tried describe it after the first 10 chapters was the manga version of that Less Wrong guy's HP fanfiction, but with actually accurate science. Seriously, it does a really good job of describing Schrodinger's Cat and various other thought experiments (shitty translation not withstanding), but it seemed it was pretty much written just so the author could tell the reader about all of these cool new science things he had just learned. The narrative took a backseat to the main character's monologues (I only found it was a light novel originally after I finished, which makes a lot of sense considering the structure) about the new things she'd learned, and her friend with an interest in quantum physics would seem to break into lectures completely unprompted.
Then the actual plot started and everything changed. Everything I'd gotten bored by in the first chapters became its strengths, and although I honestly think the first half could have been written so that the lectures didn't seem as random in the narrative, they served as a great backbone for the chapters that followed. It was a great setup to explore a subject that the author found interesting but that the general audience might have different levels of knowledge of. Although I think the last 8 chapters were the most interesting part of the narrative, they certainly wouldn't have worked very well without the explanation that preceded them.
To be honest, I don't really have an opinion of the way the story went or its themes. The relationships between Manabu and the other characters weren't particularly of interest, and the plot itself seemed more of a means to an end to explore the way you could incorporate quantum physics into a story somewhat accurately. I think the real success of it was that given the backbone of the narrative by the author, I was able to follow it and that a story involving multiple dimensions and time travel actually managed to come across as coherent.
Also, "Qualia the Purple" (the translated name) is total bullshit and I'm still confused as to how somebody came up with it. It's about as bad as Attack on Titan.

I'm pretty sure Qualia the Purple is written in English on the covers. The translation has issues but the title is official.
As is Attack on Titan. Doesn't make it any less terrible.
Has anyone claimed dibs on it yet? I imagine it'd be popular enough for some work to have begun on it, no?
Check panda's profile~
At the very least it's a shit ton of work for every party involved.
Haven't been keeping up with it at all but I haven't heard of any official groups calling dibs. There were some /a/non working on ch1 but that never saw the light of day either.
Damn, that's a shame.

Sounds interesting and I'm eager to see how her art looks as I've only watched Mushishi anime so far. Will give it a try once i'm done with it.
At least he can see something through his.

Yamori now has a whole clan now? Bit belated introduction for them.
Weird to see Tatara's subordinate using a quinque.
Torso and his "we are connected through knives" line was hilarious.

First chapter in a long while that managed to keep my interest. RIP Bam,.

All you Baki lovers should read Kenga Ashua. You get pure hype from looking at the intro of the 32 competitors. ( raw but very mild spoilers ).
The best part to this manga is the match-up's unpredictability and way the action sequences are being drawn, they are explosive and emphasis on kinetic movements. Oh and they have Sasuke.

I err...
I don't really know what to say. I guess I kinda still enjoy this guilty read. I still can't handle that scene though, she literally just went super sand.
I will continue catching up with this.
