Onideka 1-6

A schoolgirl gains the ability to supersize whenever her heart beats rapidly, and then becomes a semi-voluntary defender of Earth. The lead duo's designs and personalities are flatter than a Rie Kugimiya heroine, the premise is generic alien mumbo jumbo with no real interesting hooks, the writing/dialogue's elementary school level. There's basically no reason whatsoever to read thi--

I can't decide if Jun is romantic or plain creepy.
Leaning towards the latter.

Sacred Beast looks cute. And strong.
Also great throwback.

I've never been much of a manga reader or graphic novels in general. Have read very few longer than one or 2 volumes.

In anticipation of going to see Perfume in Chicago, I've been watching and listening to them sooo much lately, and in doing so, I stumbled on an end credits sequence of a live action show called Sumire 16-sai, which was based on a manga. (video mentioned)

Started reading the manga yesterday, and I could just never put it down. It's so amusing, funny, and charming, and I loved it ^_^ A lot of people seem to say it's creepy upon initially hearing about it, because it's a slice of life story about a girl...who happens to be a puppet controlled by an old man. It's a funny premise, and also sends a nice message about not judging someone by outward appearances.

Just felt like sharing this somewhere. :)

Flashback time.
Although it's pretty obvious how it will go.
Still, will probably be cute.


Prison School 225

Cavalry battle is a bit too drawn out by now.
The bear hunt though? Awesome.

I was thinking "If it's 10 years ago why does Jun have something that resembles a DS? they didn't exist all that time ago!" but then i remembered that 10 years ago was 2006 and not the '90s.
I'm sad now ;__;

I really should go back reading Takemitsu Zamurai. About to finish it before but suddenly decided binge read Ten instead...

Do the dogs even get revived?

Doubt it spoiler for future chapter
you can only revive those who died in dungeon. Kobold can be revived, so technically, they probably could try to revive a dog assuming said dog died in dungeon

Kaguya want to be confessed 31
Yu Ishigami, the man who like to live dangerously.
YOLO

Hinamatsuri 54-55
OMG that Utako chapter. Congrats on traumatizing a highschool girl by licking the tip of her shoe.
chapter 55 remind nm that Hina, Anzu, and Mao are all esper girl that specialized in battle. Taking care of gunman is probably their daily activities before they got thrown to the past.

I'm afraid of getting my hopes up over a healed Casca running around with Guts. That's too much happiness for this bleak and miserable world.

Haikyu 219

I would have liked to see more of what Kageyama worked on in his Training camp, or more of how Tsukishima developed.
Really though, I'm just impatiently waiting for this series to be added to WSJ International. If Viz want people to marathon through chapters on their site to catch up to current events, then they should pick up the pace or at least have started where the second anime ended. It's irritating having one holdout Jump series I care about not on the International lineup, especially when two slots just opened up.

Yeah it does make you feel old. I bought my ps3 with money I made from my job in college. Also, all the manga staring high school students means they were probably born in the 2000's or close to it.

Hotaru reminds me a lot of a character from the author's previous manga. Like, they're pretty much the same. I miss that manga.
Liking this so far, hopefully we get to see Aoba's interviews eventually.

Hakumei & Mikochi 3

This is super nice

Yeah I guess. And their rooms still don't have computers (though I don't know if that's true in real life too or not)

Reminds me of teaching a class when the homeroom teacher had to explain to them what 9/11 was.

Of course, it was Japan, so there was the distinct possibility they wouldn't have known even if they were a coupleb of years older just from the cultural drift

For reasons, most people in Japan use phones over computers. Most young people in Japan don't even have a computer at home, only a phone.

quick questions. if i want to read berserk, is it possible to get up to whatever the most current issue is in english? and looking at the prices, it's about 10-15 depending. how high does the issue number go? highest i could see was 37, but that was released nearly three years ago.

Lol they should have never revealed Pluto's true form, completely robs him of any menace at all.

Also, jesus i spent like an hour looking high and low for any sort of wrasslin manga that isn't kinniukuman. Is there there really none that aren't ecchi as well? Sigh...

Don't know what to read next. Properly between Rurouni Kenshin, Riki-Oh or Nabari no Ou.
