Molester Man Half way through, and have to say, way less molestation then i expected but exponentially much more cringe. I think I might die.

Apparently this is ending in the next handful of chapters. Seems like it's just going to peter out at some arbitrary point without resolving anything, much like the LN apparently did. Well, that's actually preferable to seeing the MC hook up with the vapid heroine, or anyone who isn't maid for that matter.
The past year has been devoid of maid. It will forever be remembered as a dark, maidless period of history. Fortunately that time is now over and maid has been returned to us. Maid.

Molester Man Finished Well that was neat. Glad I gave it a read. Wasn't really prepared for the cutesy love story it turned into.

Yeah, with a title like that, you think it's going to be a H story but then it turn out to be one great romance manga
Kaguya want to be confessed 32
LMAO Ishigami. Ever since his introduction every moment with him is pure gold
Ane no Onaka wo Fukuramaseru no wa Boku 8
Everytime i look at Shinobu, all i could thinking was author draw him as a girl, then call it a boy. I mean look at this!
Dude already preparing his harem right from the get go.ane said:

The wolf survived the phantom and returned like a boss.
Though, it seems like avoiding the phantoms is going to be difficult considering they can take the form of others and talk like them.

Berserk 23-27 Dark Horse Version
This covers the trolls => forest witch => zerk armor arc
What a difference a proper translation makes.
To make it perfectly clear, this isn't the first time i re-read berserk. Had done so a coupla times before, always with the hawks or some even jankier version. Berserk was great, yes, but not Great. Certainly not Akira great, for that is the one book that i read, gave it a couple of years, then re-read and was amazed with just how many details, how much care i'd missed with the first pass.
There really is no avoiding that, by this point, Miura is every bit as Great as Otomo. His development of Guts, and of this world, throughout the years is nothing short of fascinating, and doubly so when you consider that he had most of it sketched out before he even started writing the damn thing.
In this arc is when he starts fleshing out the melding of the worlds, planes that had only been hinted at are carefully labeled, exposed, and referenced as needed. Players are introduced and developed with an impeccable sense of timing, with backstories that know full damn well that hinting at something is far better than explicitly stating it. Thus we get rough sketches for Isidro and Schierke. Just what we need, and not a single bit more. Isidro's is far shorter, obviously, since he's a much simpler character than the mage.
But then there's Schierke. She almost relegates Guts to the position of a deuteragonist during this arc. Her acclimation to Guts, how she learns about him, her doubts about what this means for her given the history of her teacher and gaiseric, her concerns about herself, and heck, even that little elf that follows her... how in blazes could i ever read that arc and not realize that she is built up to be just as important as Guts?
Then there's all the extra stuff, again hinted at. Zodd's dialogue with Gaiseric, the shape of the helmet in the Zerk armor, zodd's lines to skullie upon seeing that thing... and a thing that i've been noticing for a while, a thing that's been getting quite a bit of foreshadowing: zodd only smiles when meeting guts or skullie.
Yknow, i once believed that maybe miura might actually be growing tired of writing this book, but... the more i re-read it, i doubt it. There's just so much care in this product
also that whole section in qliphoth proving that he can turn the thing into survival horror again any time he wants? master. class. As was the way slann interacts with Guts.

and that god damn church is legit the only time i can remember The Good Guys Winning with no strings attached in this universe.

I like you. Kindaichi and Doraemon were my first manga. Got them simultaneously from a Japanese exchange student living with us when I was a kid. I knew we always liked similar things.

How could you even compute such a thing.
I'm ready for Ippo and Conan to get their endings announced next week. One Piece is going to be the last manga standing.

If you're gonna end, you might as well end on that 200th volume.

End of an era!
Are the last chapter and last volume out the same day? HOW????
When you work for that long I'm guessing his schedule was super healthy and "normal" compared to other Jump authors. He was probably always well ahead of schedule.
Kochikame chapters are also not always full length, the ones I saw were 10 pages
Any other manga we might say that about, but not Kocikami. After 40 years, 20 of which it hadn't been ranked, it feels like Akimoto just called it quits at this point.
Whoa, end of an era. I wonder what'll replace it.
WHAT
I didn't think I'd live to see the day. Does this count as hell freezing over? Did management change at Shueisha or something?
It just dawned on me that Kochikame is ending before series such as:
Berserk
Hajime no Ippo
Glass Mask
Detective Conan
Some people need to be put on notice.

Poor Gintama
Unless you're assuming Gintama will end within the next year and in that case we might as well not count Toriko either since its not long for this world either.
WHAT?
Back in March Gintama entered the final arc, and Sorachi said that he's not sure if it will be ending this year or the next, so I would say it's a safe bet lol. I mentioned Haikyu because I'm not sure if Toriko will be around.

Balud's mother so domineering.
At least he gets to go crazy with money.
Akimoto has never taken a break in the entire run, ever. He's hardcore.

I honestly thought Kochikame would run forever at this point

So Demi-chan is getting an anime and I vomited in my mouth at the fucking art for it.
Jesus Christ, way to take a great and unique art style and butcher it to look as generic as possible.
