LOL, what the hell.

(kinda NSFW image)

Usually Boichi is very good with physiques and proportions, but with this one he got a bit carried away. The guy was always ripped, but this is kinda ridiculous.

The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Theater 1-618

1Z93eMW.jpg


Official comedy manga from the Cinderella Girls mobage, in an unnatural 5-koma format. Judging from some of the strips, it's partially intended to help introduce the game's frequent new characters. Having a sizeable cast often helps to keep long-running comedy series fresh, but the problem here is that there's SO DAMN MANY of them that it's difficult to remember their traits outside of the most distinct ones, something that's even more problematic when a punchline revolves around those traits. The humour itself is also generally weak, often being unnecessarily wordy or feeling forced for the sake of giving a certain character 'their turn'. On the plus side, it's colourful and features top tier idols once every 30-or-so strips. Ignore unless you're a CG fan.

I'd your eyes.
You can have them once I've finished using them.
 
Tomo 390

Two ways this goes:

1. Misuzu has feelings for Jun (maybe Tomo) that she hasn't got over and is trying to get Tomo with Jun due to those feelings. If that's either due to feeling guilty, for her own sake so she doesn't have to still have those feelings or because she wants Tomo to be happy at the cost of her own is up in the air.

2. Misuzu has been pushing for them to be in a relationship for her own amusement and because she thinks it's what's best but after hearing Tomo or seeing their interaction she decided it was for her own sake and not any sense of what they actually want.

3. Author's doing what she does best: NTR Porn

Could also be that she's been not really helping Tomo because she doesn't want to be lonely. Well, that or she's banging Jun secretly.

I like it too, but it's a shame it could easily be way better overall, if only the author wasn't so convinced of being good at "fanservice", if you can call it that. He is not.

Awhhh :( but the author of SK IS originally a Hentai creator. Many Hentai manga creators who try to make a manga that's NOT fully about hentai almost always have some kind Hentai in it. This reminds me of a situation about another Hentai manga creator who tried to do a action manga but got tired of it and literally created his own doujinishi of his creation. Lol

And the fanservice elements in SK aren't that bad.... if you keep reading it all builds up to a certain point... lol

My Hero Academia 21-51
Fairly impressed, unexpectedly so after disliking anime. I guess the lack of glacial pacing alone goes long way towards addressing my grievances. Any kind of internal monologues too are just much more bearable in written form. Besides that even despite it being yet another tournament, the character arcs and the story stuff, having emerged from its cradle phase, were just simply more interesting,

I already was fairly fond of Midoriya, who was instantly superior to the cheery, psycho-asylum bound, basket cases like Naruto, Luffy, Gon but here he managed to come onto his own both in terms of battle strategy, guts and his interactions with other characters.

Another thing I was impressed was art, I'm still not that fond of the entire hero aesthetic (I hate Avengers and all things that do the Hero association things ) and some of the more quirky characters designs do bother me but as always, I'm getting to used to them. Anyone important is fortunately spot on and art, composition, shading seems really good to me.

So yeah, an enjoyable read, I'm a believer now.

Bakugou as comic relief character is hilarious.

Maybe I haven't been reading closely but how was
Hayama
joining one of the Elite 10 super cliche and predictable? I might've missed the memo or something.

He won the fall festival tournament which already made him a top 10 favorite/candidate
His guardian was in charge of a group central would obviously target
We never saw her or him during the wave of central attacking people
He wasn't part of team Erina training to rebel against central
He's the only major first year to be a no show during this arc up till now

Rofl. I'm dumb. Thanks. I guess I wasn't paying attention or too invested lol.

I guess to add since Erina was quickly coming to the good side we had to have a main character fall to the dark side and Hayama was the easiest choice for the reasons above. They just took WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too long to reveal it which lead to everyone and their mom (minus Kayos) guessing the twist to the point of expectation.

Tokyo Ghoul :re 89

Amon vs Takizawa hype

I think :re's problem isn't that they introduce too many characters, but that they keep killing them without actually developing them. I'd say it kind of worked at first, but right now it just seems like it diminishes important moments. Noro died and he barely did anything.
Same thing happened to Tatara now...
Even Arima's death seemed lacking to me. And there are all those CCG people that I don't even remember their names, who got introduced just to be killed.

Heh, i love little detail like Shiraishi and Sugimoto touching Kiroranke smooth chin.
Yeah, this is a good chapter. Thought it's gonna be Shiraishi road to rich, instead we got more clue about Asirpa father.

My Eyeballs told me to dedicate everything i have to you first part

Will lick an eyeball to confirm love

Just place it in spoiler tags, add "Prison School Spoilers" in bold before asking if you want to be extra careful

Prison School manga spoilers!!! Don't read if you aren't caught up with recent stuff!!!!! I'm warning you!!!!

Okay... just to be sure... isn't it strongly suggested that Mari and Kate actually had sex in Kate's bedroom?

That's what I thought!!!
So the whole situation gets even more bizarre.... I don't Think Mari has feelings for Kate at all but Kate obviously does... so seeing Kate continually so mean stuff even though she clearly wants Mari is really dumb to me.

Seven seas?

Yen Press, actually. They also grabbed Murcielago. Seven Seas hasn't announced any fresh yuri manga since their big round of acquisitions in the late Spring and early Summer (Kase-san, Hana and Hina, Secret of the Princess, and Kindred Spirits).
 
The Private Report on My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness 1
Man this was painful and depressing, sadly as someone with a anxiety disorder and depression issues I can relate to this to a certain extent.
