Anybody remember a old school Shonen Jump manga named Cerberus? It was a about a guy who had the spirit of the demon dog Cerberus inside him and he worked with a human guy to fight demons? It was pretty good. Imagine Sasuke controlling Naruto.

I haven't read this, but yeah, that's an infinitely better artstyle.

Really, I was prepared for Kochikame to outlive the author with guest writers doingone-offs or short arcs.
So did I.

That said, the mangaka has to be like 60 by now, what the heck does he still want to write a new series for?
Some people just have that kind of work ethic. I'd imagine that he's he's been work shopping this story for years if he's already talking about it.

Kochikame will also be the 2nd series EVER to have the cover for it's final chapter, the other being Slam Dunk. Op will most likely get this with it's ending.

Final Cover if it hasn't already been posted:

Principate

Saint Titanfall
Grand Blue 1-7

When I checked out the manga and synposis I thought it be one of those club manga with ridiculous amounts of female fanservice and harem that i'd inevitably drop a few chaters it. Instead what i was greeted with with pure and utter hilariouty filled to be brim with naked men (mostly gruff ,anly) shit is normal male college hijinks cranked up to 15. The generic fujohsi style pretty boy otaku killed me. This is nothing subdued about this manga haven't laughed this much in a while

I'm a few chapters in Ajin-chan wa Kataritai and it's pretty fun. The character art for the anime makes it look trashy, but fortunately, it's not like that. It has some "indecent" humor, but it's used moderately and in a funny, rather than a sexual, way.

On a second thought, the teacher is a bit too close to his students...

MC just suffers from MC syndrome. Where everyone tends to gravitate towards him.
 
Yeah, Demi-chan is about a teacher who has a (non-sexual) interest in monsters and examines them like a scientist as he teaches at a school with a few monster girls and a succubus teacher. It's pretty much just a slice of life, exploring aspects of the monsters and how they interact with society and what makes them tick through the teacher asking them questions or helping with their problems and such. It's pretty cute and stays very innocent and charming as the girls have a crush on the teacher but he's a good guy and not a shitbag. No fan-service at all and the succubus teacher actually dresses as toned down as possible because of her powers and the complications that arise from them. So she's a responsible adult.

Also Grand Blue is a fucking RIOT
 
I've never read Kochikame but I did read a crossover of Dragon Ball and Kochikame where Ryo somehow stumbles upon Freeza who he tries to arrest for parking violations, then Freeza tries to kill him before realizing he is a gag character and thus completely immortal

Diamond no Ace Act 2 47

Sawamura rejecting the invitation to sit with the rest of the crew tells me he knows he can't take this lightly. Watching Narumiya and Mukai duel will inspire him to level up.

Hi Score Girl ch9.5

So unfair.

Lily Love ch27-28

As expected, he's a close-minded ass. At least she made it clear that she wouldn't bend to his will.
 
Shibatora 1-131/END
Was a good manga for the first 100 or so chapters, but sadly falls apart quite baldy during the final arc. I understand the MC is supposed to good-hearted character who believes in the good in children, but what happens in this final arc and how he reacts to is just painful to read. His bullheadedness to his code is just infuriating, oh hey all the murders and attacks were on my friends, let me take a fucking bullet for the big bad since he can't be such a bad guy even though he is the fucking cause of all this.
 
I was skimming through World Trigger since I stopped reading it during that first invasion arc with the dudes that had horns and I was sadly disappointed.... the series didn't even change on bit...

They're still at the town?

Another invasion happened apparently.... some cool down tournaments and now they are doing another tournament again... at the bloody same town that they never leaved.

It is literally going back from step one, to step 2, back to step one again....

It literally feels like a glorified tower defence manga with waves of enemies and added bonus rounds where you face each other before the next wave appears.

kinda sad since the beginning had a good portion of potential
 
K no Souretsu 1-22/END

.....that was just a weird read, I'm not sure how I feel about this manga.
Getenrou 1-9/END
Now this was a much more interesting read. While quite weird in its own way, it was a good attempt at trying to balance comedy elements and the overarching mystery of the story. For something that started out about finding recycled porn mags, it took a hard turn as the sci-fi elements began to appear.

We are getting a potential plot element revealed next chapter.....but yeah 8-10 years is my guess (closer to 10).

Hmm I just want to know the Leader of the Black Organization is :(. I'm just not that into series as I once more. I miss the cases that use to give you that "And Then There Were None" feel.

Think of Detective Conan as a collection of detective stories. The Black Organization isn't the plot, it's just set up.

I mean they established very clearly that outside of Yuga the rest of his team clearly isn't ready for the dangers of these other worlds but through the squad battle stuff they're rapidly getting there in a race against time. Also why exactly is it a big problem that they've stayed in one town so far the story hasn't really mandated a reason for them to go somewhere else and even then nobody buy Yuga is even strong enough to do so and in the lore the neighbors always appear in this one town anyways. I'd also argue the series didn't find it's stride until it introduced the squad battles. The mc team is fairly close to making the away team and once they do we'll get an arc set in other places there's no reason to betray the story and skip a bunch of development just to get to a big finale wt hasn't been canceled like Toriko or Bleach so the guy has the time to do things the way he wants to and most people really enjoy this more then the monster invasion stuff.

I get the impression that a lot of people expected a more Adventure focused plot from World Trigger. Personally, I'm comfortable with the pace of the manga right now. The author has done a good job establishing the importance of current events while reassuring the audience that a change of scenery is coming and building the stakes for that.

Apparently everything is possible so i wouldn't be surprised if in a couple of months there's a surprise announcement of Detective Conan ending.

Keijo 92

That was a rather underwhelming debut there. Got totally outclassed and it seemed like a lot of her mental progress towards battles was lost over the past couple chapters. I would have at least wanted her to realize and adapt the situation a bit before getting thrown off. Sure you have to establish the pro players as a larger threat than the school ones, but this was a bit much to be honest.

Tomo-chan 405

So, since Jun practically made no progress in his emotions since first meeting Tomo, this manga will probably end in NTR somewhere down the line. Just a feeling.
