Foodgasm No Jutsu: Is Azami's whole ideology based off of the loss of Soma's dad?? And him not wanting any more cooks to experience that? Strange but I'll roll with it...

Conservative Swimsuit: Feel like we could've missed out on a 'Red Wedding' sort of affair here.. which is a shame, guess we'll have to see where Big Mom's plans go from here. And to be honest I'm only really excited about two things, Sanji hopefully kicking his stupid brothers/fathers collective faces in and Brook's fight with Big Mom.

Young Justice: Guess this was our 'reflection' and 'humour chapter. Okay cool, next!

Harry Potter X Naruto: Dumb but still enjoyable as ever.

Tzeentch: The Autobiography: While both this and Amalgam are most likely dead in the water, I must say they are enjoyable. Don't get me wrong, they're super Tropie and have no outstanding qualities, but hey that's what I've come to expect from Jump in the last 5 years..

Hiro Mashima's Late Night Fantasies: Anyone else feel that in the last dozen chapters or so that this has just been trying to tick as many trope boxes as possible??

Marie Antoinette Syndrome: The Manga: For someone who often deeply enjoys TGre: even I felt this chapter was a waste of pages, 90% of it was spent alluding to things we could already of guessed/known.

Due to everyone's recommendations, I read the whole of the RE:zero manga that I could find. Pretty decent, though at times I felt the pure psychological stress and despair from the event's wasn't properly focused on, and was made to take a back seat to the action and/or world exposition.

In addition I also read a manga about an evil wizard, who builds a dungeon, gloats maniacally and then proceeds to have sex with beautiful woman for the remaining 75% of the chapter. But for some unknown reason the name of the manga escapes me..



EDIT: Following on from my previous request for a manga that slowly makes the main character break down, losing themselves in the hopelessness/madness of the situation. Can anyone recommend me a manga where the main character slowly begins to throw away their morals, allowing themselves to be twisted and warped by the darkness around them.

What the hell is this?

Well Tzeentch is a Daemon, and is well known for his plans and schemes.

Spoiler

Seems my silly name game went a tad too far so here's the answer. Daemon's Plan.

I'd read this.

You'd try to read it... as not only would the text be made from blazing warp-fire that shrieked with the sound of a billions tortured souls, but the contents would be presented in such a way that you'd be driven mad before even understanding one iota of it's meaning.

All according to the Great Plan.

Damnit, I really thought GW contracted a mangaka to create manga about Tzeentch.

Hey, guys. Been a while.
I went to a concert for one of my favorite bands recently. They had Togashi (Yu Yu Hakusho/Hunter x Hunter) do two designs for their newest shirts, and I bought one. I fucking love it.

That's pretty sweet!


Fairy Tail 517

This doesn't make any sense at all.
First you build up enchanting magic and how hard it is to transfer over to a new body and all that mightiest of witches stuff, and then Wendy just tries it out for funsies and it goes off without a hitch. Not to mention that the great accomplishment of getting a new body lasted for not even a chapter.


Hayate No Gotoku 555

Dead mom's gonna tell her Hayate doesn't love her in a romantic way to open up the palace. Or something.

 

[Fbh]

Fairy Tail 517

since when Wendy can do body switch? it doesn't even make sense,tho all battles in this series doesn't make sense too.

Well at least they sort of hint at the fact that Wendy became much more powerful because she was in the "more powerful body". They also show Eileen using wind dragon slayer magic which she didn't use before.
It's stupid but as far as Fairy Tail goes it at least makes a bit of sense.

What won't make sense is how Erza is going to win the battle in the next 2-3 chapters. Because nothing has really changed and Eileen is still supposed to be God tier in terms of power.

Contrived excuse for a plot : the manga.

 

[Kurita]

Sorry for the random question, but is manga worth selling on? I've a a large box or two, Monster, Zetsubou Sensei, Petshop of Horrors, Clover, etc.

A large eBay sale?

Depends on their condition I guess, but don't expect a big profit

 

[FlowersisBritish]

Fairy Tail Man, you know what would be hilarious if there was an arc after this?

Seven Deadly Sins Hey we back! Kind of missed it actually. Anywho, you know the sure mark of a good guy? Use of the word "EXTERMINATE!"

Promised Neverland Haha Ray you little shit.

Mahou Shoujo Tokushuusen Asuka 9

If that's what you're into, I'm not gonna judge. Rupture having confirmed history with her means she basically has to be one of the original MG squad. I'm pleased that Scissors didn't get cut and that her waifu has a tolerance for failure. Also don't think I didn't notice Kurumi's extended blush when being comforted, because I did.

I read that manga. Past tense. It was dogshit and a half, basically just a bunch of excuses to draw rape porn. And he's so good at rape and magic he rapes everyone to serve him faithfully.


If anyone wants me to smuggle manga or figures out hit me up. I think I'm hitting Akihabara then Nakano Thursday.

The Promised Neverland ch. 22

I can't say I saw that coming. Wonder what prompted Isabella to tell Krone to take a hike.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

Youjo Senki vol. 1+2

Is this seriously a story about a sociopathic atheist-pretending-to-be-devout in the form of a little girl helping Magic Germany win Magic World War? The only way this would be palatable to me is if the main character'd eventually tumble down, Light Yagami-style.

However, considering the usual isekai trappings where being reincarnated from another world somehow gives him all the tools he need to easily thwart any obstacle in the new world - including apparently a brilliant mind for military strategy despite his only experience as a salaryman - and the tendency of other people to view any blunder he made as a positive, I have little hope for it.

 

[Haly]

I don't think he's brilliant militarily, but he knows his history (ironic when you consider Japan's educational standards for WWII) and is using it to appear prescient.

Yar, but our history doesn't account for magic warfare and then there's that part where he apparently "took charge of scattered units during a night raid as if he's an experienced warrant officer".

The fact that s/he keeps refer her/himself as 40 years old salaryman pretty much telling that the writer doesn't have the basic grasp of storytelling. The italicized part is specifically important because that's a descriptor label that an author give to their character, not something of a trait where normal people just think themselves as.

The art is very pretty, and it makes me wonder why is it so easy for something half baked as this with only semblance of interesting premise able to find a good artist for the story.

Ray reconfirmed for the best, though why are we going to have orders to move Krone out.

Coupled with the fact I'd probably just wanna go do touristy ass stuff or go to a bar. Or a weeb store.

Did you go to the Switch thing!!!!!

Deader than their meal. That's the hardest I've laughed this year. Really glad I didn't look at the

page count

before starting this chapter, because it would've given the game away.

 

[OniBarubary]

Did you go to the Switch thing!!!!!

Debated it, not because I have an interest in Switch but because it'd be amusing for GAF's sake. Unfortunately after a 14 hour flight we 1. Arrived towards the end of it and I had all my bags and 2. Were jet lagged to fuck and just wanted to eat at Kikanbo. So we ate after checking in and passing the fuck out.

My hotel is right in Kabuki-cho so if you know some GAF wingmen, I'm down to throw down and pick up ladies. I don't wanna be a rude ass foreigner and bother people so I haven't approached anyone really, since I don't know what's acceptable or polite. Coupled with my knowledge of like 5 Japanese words.

You'd think for someone who reads/watches as much Japanese stuff as I do I'd retain some of it but lol nope!

Also, it took 10 tries but I finally got this baby:

I don't think going to a bar would be a problem for most people. And this being gaf, a weeb store probably wouldn't be a problem either.

Musuko no Yome 1 - 5

4-koma by the author of Yandere Kanojou. A divorced teachers son dies and his daughter in law now lives with him. Not bad so far. I'd like to read more, but it seems like chapters don't get translated very often at all.

[Boogiepop]

Huh, so in their desperation to try to fill up the thing to a moderately equivalent page count without actually adding new series, now US Jump is jamming in the bonus chapters from manga they run? That's... kind of completely useless to me. Still, at least now there's a target to wait for, as surely the "major announcements" for that anniversary thing will at least include some degree of fixing the pathetic state of the thing right now...

She's an elf, so you she might actually 100 years old.

Also the pizza aspect is the part that's appeals to me; there aren't that many comics or novels about pizza.

(The bit about having a fantasy world store too, Recettear-style, but I'm not putting my hopes up on that being explored in depth.)

Eh she doesn't actually look that bad to me. I can bullshit in my head that she's in her early twenties or something.
