This is super interesting indeed.
Make sure you keep the original this time, it'll be worth thousands one day.

There's Ainu characters during Hachiken's ancestor flashback chapter (IIRC Hachiken too have Ainu blood in him). Not surprising if Arakawa also have some Ainu blood in her.
Outside manga, Toukiden feature a lot of Ainu historical figure that most of the time clashed with the Japanese people. Surprisingly the description of them sounds honest and KT doesn't try to masked the Japanese atrocity towards the related figure.
It is THE go to manga for staple shounen. Everybody who's into shounen should read it at least once, despite their later verdict on the series. While it's true that FMA is good, it's not the best. FMA perhaps one of the fewer case of where the part is better than the sum. The battle choreography is great, the overall storyline is good, the tone being pretty consistent all around even with comedy here and there, and the pacing is just right. But in the end it doesn't gives much impression than a manga of its quality should be. There's a coherent underneath the story, but the epilogue doesn't wrapped all the conflict with those said themes.
You put it better than me. FMA main failing that is.

Adding a few more
Helck (ONE web manga (the app, not the author) been pretty popular and i remember there's a popular demand for the series to get animated)
Shiori Experience (licensing is gonna be a bitch, but i hope someone deliver)
Grand Blue (sell been good, and it got baka to test author behind it)
Kakushigoto (could get an OVA adaptation)
Love is Hard for Otaku (probably going to get short anime)
Nomi Joshi (short anime as well)
Yup, adding this to to read this since i haven't read some of it.
I'm from asian country, and yeah, i spend most of my childhood reading doraemon or watching them on tv.
Amazing!
Boku no Hero Academia ~50-104
All caught up. I knew more or less All Might's fate but still came away fairly impressed at how his and All for One's clash was handled. It's sort of refreshing to not have this mentor figure guy die. All for One too, as someone who was more interested in Shigaraki's growth then just his own success and well being, came off as a bit more then just standard big bad. Though I have to say, the backstory at play seems supremely silly, the way it was told and implied that All for One really ruled all of Japan until 5 years ago when All Might finally beat him. Surely his "evil" rule should have left more of a mark on society and people's memories that is the case.
Surprisingly enough, I came to enjoy the extensive cast of Clas 1-A. Not sure what's the difference between this and some other shounens where similar things tended to grind my gears (maybe not forcing each member of the class to have a pointless duel in each arc ?) but even if a lot of them are still flat and undeveloped, I like their mutual interactions. They feel like a genuine class. Oh and, I can't believe what I'm saying but I kinda like Bakugou now. I still thinks its poor choice to have a character art start from a place, where the character flaw is magnified to comical proportions with absurd reasons for it but he's come a long way now. I hope Todoroki will get some spotlight soon too. It's been a while since the tournament arc and I'm a always a sucker for characters like him. Deku could stand to loose some his "I will protect you" cheese and his moveset starts to get tiring but he's still alright.
So, a good read to be sure, just hope Horikoshi didn't shoot his load and will be able to continue in this vein.

Pretty sure the ishvalan's in FMA were also based heavily on the Ainu, though that's a fantasy equivalent type of thing
It's more like that the predecessors dismantled All for One's empire over the decades, and All Might thought he was the one to finally kill him.
I see it more like a Yakuza style organized crime empire that works in the shadows but has ties to all the major politicians and businesses.
Yeah, me too. But it wasn't a single collapse with All for One's defeat, it was a long prolonged war between the users of One for All and All for One.

That's normal.
hard to explain it without too much spoiler, but you will get it as the story goes
About All for One, he was in the underground mastermind a long time ago. All Might wasn't the first to stop him, just the latest. He's been a continuing threat that users of One For All has had to stop.

Yeah, i also read manga with gay character like Otouto no oto or Kinou nani ga tabetta? (highly recommended), but i rarely read yaoi doujin. Anyway, i think DTL recommendation, yaoi or not, is needed to get variety of opinion on mangaGaf or animegaf. It'll be boring if everyone agree at one thing anyway.
A Spring Evening in the Forest of Mystery
A one shot based on St. Lucia legend. Published in Harta so you know this is going to be good stuff.
The artwork is great, and i think the author should use it as an advantage. I feel like there's unnecessary exposition in several scene, but overall, it is good. I hope the author make another works.

Yes but do you dismantle that empire in a meaningful way if you can't beat the man himself ? Surely he would have moved against the threat those All for One users signified and if he was only beaten 5 years ago, then his influence should still be massive at that point in time.
I dunno, it's all very vaguely stated.
Unless I'm reading a wrong translation, it's explicitly stated that All Might was the first to beat him.
At least am glad that there's still a chance I will "get it: at some point and not just my shit taste.
I mean, All for One can't manage an entire nation-spanning criminal organization alone, you can cripple his underground empire long before you kill him proper. He talks about how his friends and allies were all killed, after all.
All Might was one of the first One for All users to have enough strength to fight him directly.

Thanks for the Ainu information guys. Amusing or sad that I've read most of those manga and didn't remember the Ainu characters.
Also I'm not doing that list thingy, I hate lists. My shit memory makes them useless.
I also find it...interesting that the most...uh...interesting turn in Hajime no Ippo recently is Takamura's growing resentment for Ippo. After a real lengthy period of stalling and shit fights we finally get a great, one of the best, Ippo fights and when he loses it sparks in Takamura this anger that we're not used to seeing from him but that comes from a legitimate place.

This must be how Kiryu felt after fighting two goddamn tigers and the big bad on top of Tokyo tower with his burning red hot sexual energy and bear hands at the end of yakuza 2.
Anyone picked up the recent Maria Holic releases from One Peace?
Saw that the first 6 volumes are omnibuses, but volume 7 goes back to regular format.
I can still easily find the first 6 volumes that Tokyopop released, and I'd prefer to get those over omnivores.
But, does anyone know if the language is really different? Like one publisher using Japanese honorifics, and the other not?

Yeah its been a slow build-up but you can see why Takamura is starting to resent him. He has so many reasons:
-Coach seemingly lavishes more attention on Ippo despite him not being close to Takamura's level.
-His growing frustration of not getting his next title shot.
-The growing worry of the coach's health, might not be around to see Takamura fulfill his dream.
-Ippo's fucking wishy-washy attitude for god knows how long.
-Takamura's eye injury(though that's just speculation) could be getting worse.
I don't think he'll ever outright hate Ippo but i could definitely see Takamura taking him down a peg or two soon.
But that was just harmless spanking.

VH is a great ride, but man isn't confusing as fuck especially towards the beginning. Just accept Dowman into your heart, and all will make sense.....(it will not, Dowman is a crazy person that we have all come to accept and love for all his quirks).
And here is some random new Dowman art...
You know, I remember Dowman doing some sort of Persona fanbook beforeVH is a great ride, but man isn't confusing as fuck especially towards the beginning.

Guess we know what he'll be playing in two weeks or so

Nukoduke! ch.80
It's never easy being the center of attention for a Nuko. Especially in their own damn home.
Tomo-chan latest
Roughly four hundred chapters in, and we're now at a major flashback. Tomo's still hella strong as a little kid.
Oniichan Control END
It finally came. The last chapter. The result is...
...alright for what it is, though I'm still disappointed that my wish for everyone to end up in jail for their bullshit in the previous chapter didn't happen. In fact the outcome of that just gets brushed over in the first few panels then jumps straight to a time skip. Even with it opting for a happy ending there's still a bit of satisfaction seeing where some of the characters end up in the 3 years since. But even then, for where it ended up things feel rather rushed. At least it ended on a good punch line.
Also a bit late to this, but fuck it I'll try anyway.
