I'm kinda glad it's just wrapping up so cleanly with nothing left to imagination.

I just wish the series ended up being what I thought it was going to be from the premise of the first chapters- a story about 2 people who hate each other forced to pretended to be in love because otherwise a gang war was going to start

This is where the twist comes, second half of this manga is gonna have both families at war. This has only begun :v

My Hero Academia 100

Great as usual.

Sahara the Flower Samurai 1

Was better than I thought it would be! Reminds me of Trigun. Orignal setting, like the characters.

The fusion of MHA and One Piece style is cool, too.

I'm guessing you *can* use the flower sword on people, just...you wouldn't want to.

I'm guessing the examiners will continue to act overly evil till the end. Either way, at least the rest is entertaining. I like to see what they make and how they go about it.

Nisekoi

How fitting that a piece of trash is paired up with another piece of trash.

Kingdom

History stated that Kanki will be defeated by Riboku. Interested how the author will translate that to Kingdom.

Infection

This manga started off interesting with truly icky zombie infection but now it has turned into a low-grade ecchi manga with a disturbing and disgusting predisposition for displaying panties of the underage, urgh, no thanks.

ReLife

Goddamn slow as hell.

Bleach

Next chapter: "Oho, but you HAVEN'T SEEN MY NEXT BULLSHIT POWERUPS!" - Ywach.

Toriko

Bambina ;____;

But at least with the final forms of the final villain is completed, we can finally see him getting trounced on the next chapters. Hopefully. Especially since Toriko's 3rd demon has finally shown up to play.

Bleach

In another timeline a version of this series exists in which the whole thing didn't fall off a cliff after Aizen obtained the Hogyoku. Less new shitty unused characters. An actual payoff for Hell.

I am a Hero

Cmon Hideo... go go save your girl mate. Though I suspect it will go in a radically different way in the end. The appearance of Tetsuko is a nice surprise.

The Girl Next Door

The next popular sexy manhwa after Drugs Candy ended. Will it end in a sucky way like that one too? Let see how it goes.

Akame Ga Kill

Oh look, the hypocrite is back and helping, what a surprise.

One Piece

Hoo boy this arc is going to take a massive long time to complete.

Komi redeemed himself.

I liked this. And now I don't feel like I wasted my time anymore, unless somehow Raku gets amnesia.

It happened, many of us didn't think it would but it did, not only did Onodera lose, Chitoge actually managed to win.

I expect the series to go full circle and end with Chitoge leaving the country for reasons and promising to come back to marry Raku, tbus becoming the promise girl in her own right.

Uhhhh... did anyone actually think any other girl besides Chitoge stand a chance after reading the first chapter?

This series is such a waste of time.

Tomo-chan wa Onna no ko! ch361

Approach at your own risk.

Happy Sugar Life ch7.5

The main series didn't change much from the concept one-shot. As long as it had yandere action it was going to be a success, really.

No, but some thought no girl would win.

I expected

Chitoge win > no confirmed winner ) > onodera upset win > all other possible ending

What I was rooting for

Forever alone ending (where both girls reject him cause fuck Raku) > Any other possible ending > no confirmed winner > onodera winning > chitoge winning

Mostly because as I said I was hoping even if the logic made no sense that the obvious expected ending wasn't what I wasted 200 chapters waiting for.

Ideally Nisekoi wouldn't have gone for the lowest common denominator but it did and considering people ate this garbage up props to Komi for scamming people into reading it and a good chunk of change of its success.

Toumei Ningen no Tsukurikata ch8 (End)

Pretty straightforward resolution, but the final twist was nice.

Overall, an enjoyable short series, which demonstrates the author's ability to draw great faces.

Author should try out a horror manga, Neo is so disgusting, really good monster.
Click to expand...

Mitsutoshi has a good grasp on disturbingness. Toriko vs Chiyo fight was amazing in that sense. All the appearances of Nitros, especially early on, were so unsettling and really trasmitted that sense of danger. Tommyrod eating Toriko's hand during the fight and all the insect eating people from the inside etc... Then NEO as well, the neo warts eating monsters whole etc...

Too bad he was amazing at worldbuilding and at interesting characters (Toriko was such an interesting character as a competent fighter that acted as someone with vast experience and not as just an idiot, just look the ice hell arc how he lead the expedition into the ice hell, one of my favourite moments) in the human world arc and now it's all bleach fights.

Yeah, Toriko being skilled from the start was great. But I had to drop it after the cancellation pressure wrecked everything.

Maybe I should pick it up again and finish it.

WARNING: There may be spoilers in some of these recs (rec), reviews (rev), impressions (imp).


  1. Hey this was pretty rad. Reigen is awesome. Warmed up to the art a lot, and now I'm debating switching over to the webcomic version of OPM. For Mob Psycho 100. From Moaradin.
  2. So for all the short comings UQH has had, it was still entertaining enough and even if its greatest strengths came from Negima, it was still a solid weekly read. For UQ Holder. From Arabesque. (imp)
  3. In a high school populated by animals of varying anthropomorphism, a completely human guy gets reluctantly recruited into the pack of a wolf girl. Hijinks ensue. Fun start, and the teacher is neat. For Murenase! Shiiton Gakuen. From Zweizer.
  4. When he wakes up, he discovers he got a power along the way : now he can see as a ghost above men's heads their first love. For Hatsukoi Zombie. From Tribes of Trusty. (imp)
  5. Time for a Father's Day read. Cute slice-of-life of a single dad raising his standoffish middle-school daughter. A shame so few is translated, I really like these kinds of stories. For Sen to Man. From ThatChairMan.
  6. Alien wife slice of life, with a side of smut. For Yome ga Kore na Monde. From Zweizer. (imp) Plus Ore no Himekutsu o Haite Kure.

  8. A Huge Battleship's "painful" impressions of Cat's Eye Hall and Carbonard Crown.

  11. A good mystery/detective manga who's puzzles aren't stupidly complex, and hasn't avoided the damn main plot like a certain other detective manga. Also it's full of DTL bait, a shit ton. For Tantei Gakuen. From 8 X 11 Printer Paper.
  12. If you like Fukumoto mahjong game series, this is a good one to read. For Ten - The Nice Guy on the Path of Tenhou. From striferser. (rev)

  16. The first couple chapters are a clunky sort of reintroduction to what Charles-Henri is all about and a quick conclusion to a story line that came up in the last volume. For Innocent Rouge Vol 1. From Semblance. (imp)
  17. Korean webtoon about a teenage girl and her older brother who discover he gains super powers dependent entirely on the amount of cash he's carrying at any time. The more money, the better his strength/reflexes/sight/abilities. For Cashero. From OniBarubary. (imp)
  18. Tribes of Trusty on Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon and Dungeon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatte Iru Darou ka.
  19. Honestly this is pretty cute. Though watching him get teased for 30 chapters gets kinda old after a while. I wonder if there will actually be any progress in their relationship. For Takagi-san. From Rainy.
  20. Read this. It's about two student council member's keikakus to get the other to confess first. For Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai. From Haly.

  26. One-shot from the Nejimaki Kagyu author, in which a suicidal kid befriends a sentient walking corpse. For The Zombie Maria (one shot). From A Huge Battleship. (rev)
  27. A very pulp-inspired mystery comic. For Soil. From God's Beard. (rev)
  28. Was looking for a good tragedy manga and this hit the spot. For Watashi-tachi no Shiawasena Jikan. From Mockingbird. (rev)
  29. A yuri short story and its sequel about two friends and their peculiar relationship. Pls don't bully For Gold Star, Happy End & A Dead End, After All. From Zweizer.
  30. It's about a detective girl who solves case in a day because she forgets everything when she falls asleep at night. For The Memorandum of Kyoko Okitegami. From MetroidPrimeRib. (imp)
  31. The combination of intense battles of wits, superb art, unhinged waifus and batshit facial expressions meant I'd marked it as a winner. For Kakegurui Twin 01. From A Huge Battleship. (imp)
  32. Overall though, I really enjoyed it. It'd be pretty fun to get a TWGOK 2 that fixes some of the issues with the first and avoids the sci-fi story a bit more, lol. For The World God Only Knows. From Shouta. (rev + heavy spoilers)
  33. If you enjoyed the movie then it's a no-brainer to check out. For Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Rebellion Story. From A Huge Battleship. (rev)

  40. I can't say l enjoyed it anywhere near as much as the main material overall, but it's definitely worth reading if you can stomach the beginning and/or you enjoy seeing cute girls despairing cutely. For Puella Magi Kazumi Magica. From A Huge Battleship. (rev)
  41. So I found this manga while I was browsing tvtropes for a bunch of stories with a cruel twist ending. For Zekkyou Gakkyuu. From dr labson. (imp)

  64. It's pretty funny, and I feel like they have the kind of conversations real people would about bikes and stuff. For bakuon. From nabe_shogun. (imp)
  65. Well this is weird. Its about two friends going about their life, but in a strange world with random weird things that are apparently normal. For Dainana Joshikai Houkou. From nabe_shogun.

  74. So, after 8 volumes, I like this manga even more. For The Climber. From Lain. (additional imp)

  76. Have fun explaining that when your family sees your school photo album. For I am Kagome 01. From A Huge Battleship. (imp)

RIP Kaguya tongue.

Author still got it. I wonder how far this series can go?

Mishiro san to Yamada kun 1-2
From the author of Ii orc no hi, come a comedy about several couples.
The main character are Mishiro, the girl with shark teeth (i like this kind of drawing to be honest) and Yamada, a regular joe. It's just them talking about various topics like perverted stuff or SNK games. Cute.

Sahara the Flower Samurai 1

I was wondering why this reminded so much of early one piece it's from one oda assistance.

Looks very promising reminds of sandland, nausaca valley of wind, triigun, kenshin and one piece.

The flower sword powers are pretty interesting, wondering where this will go.

Art looks great look one panel reminds of oda dragon hunter one shot.
