The name of the winner is in the title.
Because they are entertaining as fuck, for both themselves and the mangaGAF meltdowns.
Pretty much why as much as it makes me want to throw up Shitoge is going to win as well.
Seo is making the title bait
Fucking non believers gtfo

Speaking of dead trees...
Not exactly manga, but got this on a whim today. Have read and seen the adaptations but I've been wanting to read the original novels.

The gap between chapters is so large it's hard to remember what was happening prior, but I swear this gets more battle shonen with each passing volume. These fights are just getting longer and longer.

Laughed loudly when one of the roaches suddenly pulled out a handgun.

Of course you can count on Gokuto, king of bros.
Are we ever going to see this wet t-shirt contest anyway?

Read on? I thought that I had bought the most recent volume. Is there more?
I've read about half of Boys on the Run. Have you finished it? Thoughts?
I felt the same way. I think about that story at least bi-weekly. So nostalgic...
Prison School 126
That unifying reason reveal was amazing, nice little detail for the author to go pick up to get the boys working together again.
Sara relationship with Yuu is too shallow and one sided at this point to see any romantic future in it.
Tama has a childhood history with Yuu, but they went years without talking and even now their interaction have been fairly limited. She is an idol which comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantage s.
Fuuka on another hand has spent most of the last few months with Yuu and has managed to improve his life in various ways, thanks to her he had a summer job, managed to get a group of friends and gained a sense of purpose as well as self confidence thanks to the band. She's a very positive influence in his life plus we already know they both have feelings for each other and that they are aware of it (even if for some reason they haven't sent forward with actual dating).
So even if we discard the title argument, and even if we agree that Tama is the best girl, Fuuka would still be the best choice for Yuu at this point in time.
Let's see what Tama will bring to the table to change that. A public confession is already a great/awful start to change things.

Ridiculous and interesting aren't that far apart as far as my enjoyment of something is concerned. So either way is fine by me!

These (funny but) serious moments create so many spectacular panels too. Prison School art GOAT
Assassination Classroom 95
This is a nice chapter if only for nipping in the bud the potential for failure due to thinking they were so strong.
The sensei dogeza was hilarious along with the old man's reaction.
Addicted to Curry 110
Looks like there are actual challengers.
And original girl is back!

Looks like it's finally time for me to catch up to prison school.
That's really one of my main reasons for enjoying the series, this type of moments that, when you stop to think about it, are absolutely ridiculous and preposterous, but are presented in such a serious manner that you can't help but get involved.
True. But we all agree that it's because Teresa would effortlessly smash the puny dragons, right?

Rereading all of prison school because I forgot where I left off.
There are worse ways to spend some time I suppose.

Finally got around to snap pics of my manga pickups for this month (some NSFW covers in there), though I'm still waiting on 2 Project H books. I wonder if they'll get here before the month ends.

Terraformars v9
Pretty suspenseful the whole time as I was fervently hoping that Akari or even Michelle wouldnt die.
The Rahab story concept of the plant occupying the asteroid belt and featuring a civilization that was capable of travel from mars and earth and had some type of evolutionary device on Mars was compelling and should have been given more detail than just the one page. It would certainly be a great tool to have on Mars and help to explain how the roaches were able to develop as fast, and even do the bugs surgery too (their collection in that one room for example wasnt explained).
Akari needs to use Hizamaru more.

I am about 2-3 chapters ahead for I am a Hero. So that's probably spoilerish to you because the drama you witness currently would be resolved by then. I apologised if that's the case.
As for Boys on the Run, yes I did finish it. Personally, I would ranked it as high as I am a Hero. The best part of the Boys on the Run is the first half to me, the latter is the author introducing new characters and eventually tie up everything together. It can still be tragically funny at times. Ending was an unnecessary slap on the face though, akin to Ciguatera (manga).
Shokugeki no Soma
On one hand, Soma handled this scene like a bawss.
On the other, the stakes make it really obvious he's going to win. This is what, the third Shokugeki where Soma's punishment was quitting of some kind? There need to be more realistic stakes here.

Soma
I'll say though I didn't expect Soma to want any of the items, especially Takumi's. I expected him to go like "they can get it back themselves". Takumi will just become even more pathetic now.
Did we read the same match just now? Mimasaka was a total villain. And he was a data guy AND a copy guy. There's no way he's winning even once

That's, um, well wait a sec. I don't think that's why it's obvious that Soma's going to win.

Teresa need not display her prowess, I just want to be swooned over by her dialogues and interactions with Clare and co.

Yes he's going to fight for Taku's pride and sake. No way he will lose with that on the line.
Im also hoping for a Kurokiba Ryou v Soma final, it will be the most fiery match yet.

It's pretty much a given that Soma will win. I guess the main problem with Stalker Guy's style is that while he could probably make that one dish better than his opponent, he ends up obsessing over that one dish and one particular desire to outdo the opponent, and forgets to be a bit more imaginative in other ways.
Somehow Soma winning or losing the final finals seems predictable either way. Geez, shounen manga.

The "I'll make this dish" thing will probably (hopefully) be a lie with Soma actually making something else during the match just unhinge Stalker-Guy.

I dont think thatd be good writing, as itd be more surprising and suspenseful to beat him at his own game. The weight of the win would feel heavier and stronger and would undoubtedly force Mimasaka to change his ways.
There's no point. Standard shonen etiquette dictates that Soma will beat him at his full potential, and that's why he just out and told him the dish (even though he would have known anyways). Good guys don't use trickery to win (unless it's HxH or Mx0)
