Its not like they are favourites ( I think on MAL I gave then 6s or 5s I think), just that he always entertains me to some degree.

Zombies, chainsaws and high-school girls. Gratuitous violence, puerile humour and bizarre facial expressions. I lost enough IQ points reading this that the zombies that featured are now smarter than me.
Itchy.

Without looking, I get the feeling that's the same artist from Satanister.
At least those eyes remind me of Satanister.

This is pretty good. It's also alarmingly similar to a story outline I had. Goddammit....

Im glad world trigger is at over 3.5mln sales. Hopefully it at least gets 20mln by the end of its lifetime.

Oh shit, it's finally getting translated? Been on my wishlist forever.
As much as I love World Trigger, isn't that unlikely to ever happen? Unless the manga goes to 60+ volumes or it has a large rise in readership (both improbable given the series was never a mega hit and the anime is about to end) there is no way it can get to 20mln normally. I mean, I guess anything can happen to get it there but at this stage it's doubtful.

I think looking at it like that kind of misses the point of the title. I mean
the JP title better represents what the series is about, not just on a mechanical level, but in concept and theme. The series isn't just about the mystery but exploring the consequences of choosing not to be involved, not to be there. Satoru's version of the title drop is about what is born as a result of choosing to be a participant. As he says in the last chapter, his treasure is what was written/engraved in the town and time he wasn't there, the fruits of him choosing to be that hero, to continue fighting for what's right. I think Erased as a title works on a mechanical level but doesn't hit on this aspect of the series. I'm sure it could be written to fit the drop in but I think it loses meaning.

Oh, that is a good one.
Hmm, i think i need to reread the ending (probably with proper translation)

Vagabond is really good now, but I still think I like Takemitsu Zamurai better. I might have to read Lone Wolf and Cub at some point.

No idea why i keep trying new mahjong manga to read. I think i'm starting to fall into the darkness! Darkness called mahjong!
A 30 y.o unemployed father who is also an expert in online mahjong decide to try out gambling mahjong for real to feed him and his daughter. Exactly what you expect from a mahjong manga. It's hard to sympathize with the dad because his addiction cause him to be jobless and divorce. Seriously, if i'm the mother, i'll be worried too if i have to let my daughter to his care.

On one hand, yay, Erased/Boku dake ga Inai Machi licensed in Italy (by a serious publisher)!!
Die Wergelder too. More Samura can only be good.
On the other hand, another publisher dropped titles because for some (unknown) reason they ended their partnership with a licensor (Shueisha this time). Forget Me Not (the Yuuki Obata one), Stand Up! (the Aiji Yamakawa one) and Daytime Shooting Star (this one was only missing the extra volume) gone.
This year Italian publishers are working overtime to make me feel like a moron for buying manga.

The two biggest ones don't seem to have any issue (the one that announced Erased has a perfectly working relationship with Kodansha, Shueisha etc), so I don't think there is a problem with the publishers in Italy as a whole. The middle to smaller ones seem to be having problems here and there though.
So it's mostly an issue of smallers publishers overstretching themselves? Or is it the market that's shriking?

"My erection's powerless against them!"
I am beyond myself that a series exists in which such sentences are said and, not only do I accept it as normal, I am still be able to take the situation seriously.
You're not alone, I'd like each to go in their own direction, and see Guts dedicate his time to Casca.

Seraph Of the End 43
They know that we just want Mika sucking Yuu so instead of giving it to us he will keep on making us litrally thirst for it. My heart Why cant't Mika just give in and suck Yuu, Yuu even offers it in both his demon form and his human form.
I hope they rescue Krul. I like this Seraph of the End arc though, has the potential to be really compelling. Though I kind of think Narumi may die, no point having him stick around when things get tough since his whole unit has been off'd, though one never knows.

I feel like it's a bit of both. The market has been shrinking over the years and some publishers tried to become bigger too fast.
Though while overstretching was definitely a thing in regards to the Kodansha block last month for Edizioni BD (supposedly, the contract Grani & Partners had with Kodansha required a certain amount of licenses bought each year, which was sustainable by G&P -they are big- but not by Edizioni BD -they're not as big- so their plan to buy GP Manga -G&P new manga publishing business- to get the Kodansha titles and contacts when G&P decided to sell the manga business ended up backfiring) I can't fully understand this new one.
The Shueisha titles frozen for Flashbook are... 4, 2 of which could be considered half frozen in Japan too (Returners, Forget Me Not), 1 coming out really slowly (Stand Up!) and 1 finished (Daytime Shooting Star, of which we were only missing the extra volume).
2 new titles, a one shot and a miniseries in 2 volumes (Houkago x Ponytail and Unubore Heart's Cry -I love Ayuko so this blows-) were supposed to start releasing this month but have been scrapped (which is what started the news) supposedly because not enough preorders (by bookstores? the reason feels... weird).
At least they claim they're gonna release the new Five Star Stories book soon.
My shojo intake took a blow though.
