This was a shonen??

...I guess the seventies were a different time.

There's also like a sequence of two children being killed. One eaten alive by a demon, and the other where a boy doesn't want to go home to his abusive mother who turns out to be a demon and then his dad also turns out to be a demon. Next page is just the boy's decapitated head.

There's a LOT of decapitated heads in Devilman.

Well, this series is over. Ending didn't really do anything for me, but I had never really liked the series so I wasn't about to get emotional about it ending. Would be completely unsurprised if the Jump Next miracle thing is related to some all star gen of miracles thing.

Worst part of this series was definitely the last game. Too long showing how much better Akashi's team was, too much limelighting every player since it was the last game, and the turn around always felt terrible.

Not the worst thing I've read, but probably the worst sports series I've read (I don't think I've read a lot of them, tho).
 
Caste Heaven 3

Felt sad for the mom if she cant really find a guy but then has to be of the opinion that she needs one in order to move on in life.

For Yuuya I liked many of his panels, I always like in yaoi when they have to sit for awhile with that device in them as the scene afterwards is always pleasing. He'd be happier if he admits his feelings at the end of the day then this game could be ended. Surely everyone else in class knows what is going on.

Sounds like a fun series for kids to read. I wish things were that way today (but with more smut).

Tripeace 1-43

Well, that was a shitty ending.
I am still unsure if I took the messages of this manga too serious, but aside from the inconclusive ending that left everyone hanging, I thought that the organisation Tripeace is stupid, because everyone could just make up rules. First was the wildcard third law for everyone and then those people who just run around with coimpletely made up laws. And how was never adressed, that Tripeace more ruthless members could've been the cause of more wars. Someone would think that something like that would be streamlined in an organisation.

But I liked Nana in female form, he looked quite good in a dress, Gold's ridiculous solution of literally just throwing money around and the arc of Shiro and her mother. Other than that it was mostly entertaining, but not very satisfying.


Centaur's Worries 1-13

Somebody posted a cute page here, so I just started to read. This is ludicrously adorable and I really like how they address laws against discrimination, even if there is seemingly not friction between everyone who was shown so far and how people have to work around their different bodies for daily life. It's very nice.
My favorite chapter so far was the one with Hime's little sister. since it featured almost no text and told a story solely by picture language.

Also class rep looks kinda like Satsuki Kiryuin at times

It feels better if you read it knowing full well that it gets canceled. But yeah it's somewhat silly in some other but it also nails some parts to be surprisingly fun.

I hope this doesn't have any silly twist near the end of the story where the girl/love interest is the real mastermind or something.

Kininaru Roommate

Well, I'm never getting those hours back. Wasted them on this god damn 30+ chapter h-manga that makes me wish the dickhead of a protagonist got a School Days ending or had been severely NTR'ed.
When you're hanging on to your ex that you already lied to in order to have sex, then casually and repeatedly fuck the employees of the stripclub downstairs without slightest bit of regret, you don't deserve to throw a tantrum when your cute roommate decides to try stripping herself. Even if the reason for stripping was dumb as hell, that's not your business. And no, the men will not swarm the stage and rape her right there, you delusional idiot. That barely happens even in that type of hentai.

I'm not usually bothered by stuff like this in porn, but this thing was written like a romance series with a mandatory sex scene every chapter. The sex was boring too, started skipping those scenes after like the 2nd chapter. Then again, I skip/skimread those scenes in a lot of hentai manga already so I guess it was just average in that aspect.

So yeah, lesson learned. Even in hentai, just because a series is long, doesn't necessarily mean it's good.

On a different note. There is apparently a new 4koma manga that just released lately. It's by a new author and the word of mouth is apparently really great as it's meant to be super cute:


It's called New Game :)
Well the cover sure is appealing

( ´∀`)人(´∀` )

I really want to see Oono pulling off parries like crazy.

There has to be an EVO moment 37 in this manga it's written in its dna.

Not a very good last chapter. I enjoyed this series a lot but there should have been a few more chapters so we could enjoy the win and the aftermath some more. Give it some breathing room. Everything just wrapped up too fast.

That was a fun series however. I'll miss it.

Nisekoi 136

Another fucking new girl? Seriously. Why do I even bother reading this

okay last chapter. Overall I enjoyed the series but that last match dragged on. They built up Rakuzan too much and forced a BS ending to the game.

Can't wait to see what is coming in Jump Next.

Kaichou wa Maid-sama 10-60

Childhood friend is terrible. Hate the 'oh you're in a relationship I'm still gonna go after you thing'.
Usui backstory seems shoujo standard fair. Chasing around Nin-Nin guy was a lot less serious than I thought the situation would be but I was amused enough that I was fine with it. Blushing Ayuzawa is so cute.

Besides the standard fair of hot guy doing creepy things it's been pretty enjoyable so far. I've heard bad things about the latter chapters but I'm looking positively to them for now. As long as childhood friend guy isn't focused too much it should all be fine.
