I had no idea Crocodile was so popular, also, happy to see Katekyo Hitman Reborn in the list, its such a shame the last arc was not animated, I feel Enma would be there too if that was the case, even if he is hardly a villain.

In this ever-changing world where nothing stays the same from one moment to the next at least one thing remains constant: Japan has shit taste.

Actually, honestly speaking, I don't even know who I'd pick.

Innocent vol. 9 (Innocent - fin.)

:whew: There is some real knockout art in this volume, even by Sakamoto's standards.

I knew there was a sequel to this (Innocent Rouge) so I wasn't expecting some big conclusions here, but enough had come to pass that I think it's a perfectly fine 'part one' stopping point. Marie Antoinette had a surprising (to her) realization, Marie-Joseph continued not taking anyone's shit and is seemingly about to put those executioner skills to good use quite soon, and Charles-Henri somehow deteriorated even further (chapter 89). Some real amusing bits pieced in throughout this volume too, like Bottomless Swamp, which caught me totally off guard. But, y'know, that kind of off the wall stuff makes Innocent the best.

Now what's the next step in your master plan?
So the new I Am Hero chapters are certainly awkward. Lemme lick those arm pits as a giant walking mass of zombie humanity is about to step on us.

That new pairing is really good.
Kaoru needs a tanned new girl as well.

Even misunderstandings can get the point across.

Nana to Kaoru is surprisingly well written. Ecchiness of it aside the characters are better done than I would have thought from something like this.

When it comes to S&M it is a way better representation then pretty much everything else I can think of. It's more about trust and relationships and less about being rape-y like in 50 Shades of Grey

It, unlike anything else I can think of puts a lot of focus on Kaoru's fear of hurting them too.

Edit: Tachi is the real MVP constantly coming to their rescue.

Nana to Kaoru should be mandatory reading for people who are into or want to get into BDSM.

It's astonishing that a manga has the best representation of actual BDSM that I've seen.

Also helps that you want them to just fuck so bad

Does anyone know what the status with Fantagraphics release of wandering son is?
I have up to volume four but it looks like its been a while since the last volume was released so I don't know if its worth continuing.

At least the teacher got some. Also, the council president being into pegging with Kaoru helping him out was a decent side-story.

I Am a Hero ch. 212

I guess at least this is over now? These past few chapters have been pretty suspect.

Although having caught up this weekend, I haven't really been feeling Hero past vol. 16 in general. Between this shit at the beach and the other group in the building with Asano Crocs, there hasn't been a whole lot to like this past volume and a half or so. Aside from whatever's going on with the zombies, which hasn't been focused much on.

Innocence Vol. 9

I find it hard to believe that Charles didn't figure out that Marie was the one that took care of her fiancee, or that this new marriage was clearly just a ploy for her to achieve her goals, he even acknowledges she has no love for the man she was trying to marry, and he's proven himself to be insightful enough to see through this type of ploy.

Charles relationship with his son was interesting to see though, he finds himself now in a position closer to that of his father and seeing his perspective as he's torturing his son out of love was an interesting contrast to the start of the series.

The introduction of a love interest to Marie via a flash back just to kill him 3-4 chapters later was a cheap ploy by the author, there was never any hint that Marie was interested in men, much less a particular man from her past that was never mentioned in the story.
It was just the means the found to justify whatever actions her character will take in the sequel.

Such a fearsome magician~

Slime-san to Yuusha Kenkyuubu ch3

Heroes are actually bad news.

Gotta say slimes tend to be unfairly underestimated, considering how versatile their form is.

Madoka and Mei's Secret Workshop ch4

Gee, that wasn't wise at all.
