What is this? A chapter where nothing completely horrible happens? I'm so confused right now.

In the lack of depressing things to talk about regarding this chapter, lets go with a more general one.

Ueno obsession for Ishida is pretty depressing, she's essentially in-love with someone that hasn't existed for a few years. The fact that she honestly cares for this non-existing person will probably lead to a pretty nasty breakdown and depressing ending for her story.

I just finally up to the latest chapter in Inside Mari

Endgame speculation (major spoilers)

Mari is probably suffering from some sort dissociative identity disorder. The protagonist of the story is most likely a split personality, who completely assumed Isao Komori's Persona. Mari was intensely stalking Komori. Consider the following:

1. The letter she sent him (which judging from the content means she's been watching him for a while)
2. The fact she owns his all of his porn mags
3. Her knowledge of things she simply shouldn't know (Komori's house key location, favorite game, etc).

The discrepancy in Komori's memories (he doesn't remember "stalking" her) can easily explained by the fact that she simply transferred her stalking aspect to her "Komori" Persona.

I cannot even begin to describe to how much I like this manga. I hope it ends well!

Some good speculation, that would be an interesting twist, though I'm not fully convince of that yet,
"Mari" ability to play games well and knowing details of the games doesn't quite fit with that angle.
I honestly hope the series goes on that direction though.

I wonder if that means Kishimoto will finish Naruto in the next 19 weeks before the movie premiers.


Depending on when
this movie is set to release
, we can get a good idea as to when the manga will end. I'm thinking early Spring next year at the latest.

Movie premiers on December 12 which is 19 weeks away / 18 chapters away.

Also, Hunter x Hunter is on break again next week :)

Well that's an unfortunate place to get bitten.
It's not as if the snakes will have any actual poison in them though.

I bet Hana will be very unhappy with these new pictures.

We're not going to figure out the deal with what the Hokage are doing for like 10 more chapters are we?

I managed to find this manga within that recommendation thread in the OT and I honestly dont regret picking it up. I just finished marathoning though all 64 chapters and actually feel really sad that I hit the end of it.
Though, I'm glad that the story ended up at a Happy Ending instead of where I was worried of, and where it often showed signs of spiraling into. Those last 8 chapters pretty much felt like my heart was being ripped out and stabbed several times, so I was happy when everything ended out okay in the last two chapters

Personally, I found it to be one of the better family oriented stories I've seen with the characters remaining moral all the way through. As time went on I could really feel how much Kouta loved Kanau which really helped sell the story to me. In the end it managed to wash away the distaste which was left in my mouth after reading through the later chapters of Usagi Drop.

So all in all, It was a good read. It was adorable, It was funny at times, it was serious at times, it was heart-wrenching several times and I enjoyed it. I'm kinda interested in seeing if I can find more stories like this now, which can only be a good thing since I'm not the biggest reader of manga.

Considering the manga is going to be running until sometime in December, 10 would be lucky. I say 20.

That's just when the movie comes out. I sincerely doubt he's timing it that way.

Man, I must be a very rare type of a despicable human being to actually enjoy reading the latest chapters of Usagi Drop, hahaha.

The bullshit in the last 8 or so chapters made me so mad that I couldn't possibly ever reccomend it to anyone. I also didn't care for parts of the ending. I did like how Kouta and Kanau's relationship developed but it wasn't enough to save the series for me.

Guessing he's dying this time, though there's really no reason why Naruto couldn't just wave his hand and magically heal him.

All praise Ninja Jesus. Bless him and his ninja disciples.

Naruto

A HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT! Last Naruto movie :|
You are useless Kakashi! Use your Shari....oh. Are Naruto and Sasuke going to do anything besides watching friends get stabbed?

Bleach
Grimmjow intensifies. I hope Kubo picks up the pace again. Zombie girl has been at this for several chapters and maybe 15 minutes worth of material in action (being generous).

I don't consider myself despicable and I enjoyed reading the end of Usagi Drop. While the direction it went in wasn't the one I was hoping for, I still liked the tone the story kept and how it resolved everything since that was the only way to keep the family together as the two of them were used to after the choices made along the way.

I think there is a lot of romanticism in Rin wanting to keep living with Daikichi, and Daikichi letting her wait until some more years pass, she's done with school and she's sure her feelings haven't changed, since both of them don't want the sense of family and tightness they shared until then to disappear, which is what would have happened if they parted ways. It's an egoistic way and maybe a twisted way to go at it to keep them together, but there is an air of romanticism in such a decision.

So that's what he found in syazel's lab? Charlotte is out of place here but whatever. I'm waiting for sternritter M (The Mangaka) to appear with his power of altering the course of history.
 
Naruto:

Finally a few more Weeks/Months until its over. The date for the last Manga chapter will probably be September 21 2014. Just 15 Years after the first one released.

Zoro Fuck yeah!

I still wish Oda would go back to his old style and dedicate a few complete chapters to the 1vs1 fights instead of just showing a few panels each chapter untill its suddenly over :/
