So how gay we talking here?
Where in the scale between Will and Grace and hardcore Yaoi would this content of the manga fit?
Asking for a friend.
Good decision! I suggest That Girl's a Mad Scientist! by Takasaki Takemaru and Flesh Doll Studio by Q.

This manga is so weird sometimes, I love it. Also, I don't know if its a thing in Japan or just the artist, but why all the hate on suzuki bikes? I mean, I get brand loyalty and fanboys and stuff, but I wonder if there's something I'm missing.
Also I have a suzuki bike, its not so bad.
I've always wanted a talking Japanese businessman.

I'm pretty surprised Ryo lost off screen like that, I think he and Aldini keep trading relevancy.

It seems a secret message from Oda to Shimabukuro (Toriko's author) is hidden behind the cover page.
Toriko's final chapter is included in the same issue.
The message is "Thank you Shimabukuro for Toriko!!"
- Striped Pig
It represents "Shima-Boo", known as a nickname for Shimabukuro.
"Shima" means stripe and "Boo" is an onomatopoeia for pig's cry in Japanese.
- 39
39 represents "Thank you".
3 and 9 are pronounced as San (さんand Kyu (きゅー
3 (さん San) 9(きゅー Kyu)=さんきゅー(Sankyu)
"Thank you" is written as さんきゅー(サンキュー
- 5 Birds
They represent "Toriko".
Bird is called 鳥(Tori) in Japanese.
5 is pronounced as Go in Japanese.
Tori 5= Toriko (Torigo)

Nice one Oda
Yeah it was perfect. Series could have ended there and id have been happy.
Brace yourself for some dumb malarky that comes after that though.

A cute non ecchi one shot about an adorable lizard person and a lady looking for her dog. I may read more of this author's work, Im charmed by the art style.

I cannot at all see how they get out of this together, other than Lola popping by to confirm Nami's words.

"It's fine" and "it's nothing" have an extensive history of signifying the opposite of what they actually mean, and this case is no different. I'm unsure whether to support Asakura in his pursuit of black hair. Probably not since he's seemingly an obstacle to a yuri ending.

Hey, it's a fun story by the dude who does Takagi, this is way below my boner threshold.
Meanwhile Tomo is making me hate Jun more and more with each passing chapter. Like, it's going from "I don't want to lose this relationship that turned me into who I am today and gives me my life compass" to "I'm a REALLY shitty dude"
I also read some 4 chapter death game manga and it was just the worst so it's not even worth discussing.
I also read like 20 other things but I forgot them all and I'm lazy and playing Shadowrun so I don't feel like making a huge-ass post.

The concept of Tadokoro getting an Elite 10 seat is funnier to me than it should be.

I'm just happy they finally got to the point where they figured out this was how you will beat Central as opposed to just randomly struggling against Azami.
The stupider part is that they didn't figure out that if they had a majority of the seats they could also just fire Azami.
My random guess is that they get the majority of the seats, but then for PLOT REASONS they can't eliminate Azami and have to bring back Senzubean to be co-Dean and Azami brings in an entire competing school full of students just to invent more bad guys.

I don't think Mimisaka is a realistic candidate to beat an Elite 10 member since he doesn't even have his own style. And Rindou will switch to whatever side is funnier. They also have both Isshiki and Kuga on their side and we don't really know anything about Megishima other than he's a third-year who voted against Azami.
I wouldn't be even vaguely surprised if Eizan turned face, either.
I can't accept Ryo losing like a scrub while Aldini made it through
Rindo is too based for us, just accept it now.

Rindou is the ultimate troll character and the author knows it.
Rindou's avoided cooking since her first appearance and she once at a dish that defeated an Elite 10 member and didn't have her clothes explode like everyone else did. The authors clearly know she's very popular.

Man, I'm playing Shadowrun: Hong Kong and it's such a good game. Like, Shadowrun Returns was fine. I enjoyed it but it wasn't a 10/10 or anything.
Then I play Dragonfall and I'm like "Hey, they learned a lot. This game is pretty good" Decent characters, good plot, fun missions, combat improved. Cool.
And now playing Hong Kong it's like...just a level above. Everything about it is a step up and the writing went from "Pretty good" or "Aw man that's cool" to "Holy shit, this is really good writing" The descriptions and dialogue are so tight and there's some really good characterization and prose in this game; stuff that gives you very clear pictures of people and places without directly saying it. I remember one specific line while talking top Kindly Cheng that was just a description of how she looked at Duncan and it was like...such an amazing line that perfectly described what she thought about him without her saying anything.
I'd compare this game to something like Trails of Cold Steel 1/2 where a lot of people praise the world building but I just found it to be okay because while it's very impressive that all the NPCs change dialogue and have their own lives and agendas and whatnot it's not very interesting to me. I stopped talking to them after a while or skipped dialogue because while it was cool it didn't really enhance much for me. I don't "lose myself" or "immerse" myself in games like a lot of people, I look at them narratively or from a storytelling standpoint. So I have a bit of a...biased view of how world-building can be delivered. But in this game? Holy shit, it cuts down on the number of NPCs and is so much better for it by making them such incredibly rich characters. It basically does the same thing as Cold Steel wherein these people have existing lives and stories that they've lived before you came and go on without you and it all serves to enhance the world you're in EXCEPT they are FASCINATING. The writing really works here because every time I go back to my base I talk to EVERYONE and exhaust all my dialogue options. I'm in love with talking to the Troll family watching the club and seeing both sons hate how they're stuck here. They're completely unimportant to the plot but their family dynamic and story is just so interesting to watch play out. I love talking to Reliable Matthew and seeing his cool cat, hows-it-goin-babe salesman shtick fall away as he loses sales and his BTLs wear off and looking into his trailer and seeing the drones that he dressed up as animals for company and just...every single person in there is so detailed and thorough and fills out the city you live in and the type of world it is and UGH I can't gush over it enough. I really really don't want to shit on Trails of Cold Steel because it's preference and for a lot of people it works but it didn't work for me because I wasn't invested in 2 or 3 lines of dialogue that I didn't care about changing over time for everyone and this game is the perfect way of world-building to me; you do what Trails did on a much smaller, tighter and deeper level and it will make everything stand out and flesh out all the more.
The characters are amazing too. The crew that you run with is great, even your lame duck brother who fills the "Bioware first party member" trope super hard, but everyone else I try to talk to as much as possible because their stories and personalities are just wonderful.
I can't gush enough about this game and y'all gonna have to put up with it here because it's an older game and the thread's dead so there's nowhere else to post.

It seems Rafaed goals are different from Mikaros. Such a mysterious man.
Lastly, I hope fat guy gets destroyed for hurting Asuta.

Whats wrong with Tadokoro?
Yeah, pretty sure the eventual reveal is that she's the best cook in the whole school.

I didn't watch Will and Grace but basically v low gay content
there are some light gay elements but yaoi this ain't
One third she's so timid that unlike everyone else who was pumped to fight an Elite 10, she was more reserved (terrified) about it
One third the gag of her being so scared she might keel over if you look at her funny
One third her being an seen as an underdog compared to everyone else
So the idea of her actually managing to be a seated member seems so amusing, even if it's basically the Soma match set up just without a plot armour as thick.
I think it's funnier that Aldini is is also set up to go against one of the current Elite 10, since compared to Tadokoro, his onscreen win record is worse than her's, and he had more devastating losses.
Kurokiba and Alice were robbed
It doesn't seem like it? I mean, Sorachi exact wording was that 2016 would mark the start of the final arc, but he never said how long it would take him to be done.
Given how there is going to be an exhibition near the end of this year, it seem unlikely it would go on till summer, but who knows. The pacing of the story seems to be reaching an end soon.

I guess, but I still see nothing wrong with her being an Elite 10 member, since the only requirement is be really good at cooking. It doesn't really have anything do to with how inept of a person you are in general.
I agree about Kurokiba and Alice. Though I'm sure they'll figure something out on their own or something.
Skypea final boss is still Eneru and no one can convince me otherwise.

I was kidding when I said the PSG would be the longest book ever written, but if it has to include childcare advice then that suddenly seems much more accurate. Not sure that anything could cure the demon king's trauma at this point, not even 'releasing' her.

My steam backlog is enormous. Mainly because I dislike playing on my PC and only ever finished Ys games and VNs on it. But this post reminded me that I have one of the shadowruns in my library and now I really want to play it.
But I only started Cold Steel II, and while I think it is quite flawed in many ways like you, it still manages to draw me in quite well. So I'll have to focus on that. For the next 1-2 months.
