Started Welcome to the Ballroom and got to the latest chapter. It's pretty good so far, my only concern so far is how this story will handle whatever future development in their relationships. Fujita's current partner isand she's the one who would make the most sense to go for if actual romance was to happen now, and yet I have a feelingChinatsuis the inevitable choice regardless. At very least we knowShizukais not going to be with him forever based on the first chapter.Chinatsu
I like the art too.
👌👌👌
I also finished Oyasumi Punpun last weekend.
10/10 will never read it again.
Some good manga overload here.
As long as the romantic tension between Fujita and Chinatsu is resolved I'm happy. The first page could easily be worked around though (ie. Hyoudo gets hurt, Fujita steps in again etc.)

Lovely Complex and Fujiyama-san wa Shishunki might be right up to your alley if you didn't read them.

Since when. Baam's never been like that. His greatest assets was the fact he was down right suicidal thus he came up with actions sane people normally wouldn't. Those largely being letting himself get eaten by the giant monster monster and attacking from the inside.
Since he's progressed from Rachel litterally being the sole reason for his existence he's not quite as suicidal anymore.
It's cute and rife with comedy potential indeed.
I already read the latter and made an impression on it. But it was rather "realistic" than what I want considering the couple are mid schooler, making it more light hearted SoL than romcom. Haven't read the former, but I assume the girl is the short one? I prefer the girl being the tall since

"Blue Hawaii" is the first Stand to be named after a musical movie and not a musical act, album or song right?

I looked it up and apparently Bing Crosby wrote it before Elvis Presley covered it.
I enjoyed the first chapter - will read more soon
I don't see a logical problem there.

Melancholia 1
New manga by Dowman Sayman, which's apparently going to be a collection of short stories like Nickelodeon. First chapter was about as thought-provoking as you'd expect. Here's hoping the actual apocalypse has tentacles.
Gotta look at their inner beauty.
That seems like the normal reaction, lol.
Well that's certainly a surprise, but better have the author end it on his own terms than trying to stretch it forever if he feels like he did everything he wanted.
Translations are currently 3 volumes behind by the way.
Really? Oh thank god, I thought we were getting some insane rushed ending. I need more Akane trolling in my life.
That's incredible news. Glad it's ending instead of going on forever. Can't wait for whatever the author works on next.

Well, yes, they have already published 8 volumes I think? 9? and the author has chosen to focus on the sport aspect and some personality aspects of the characters, but there has been no advance in the romantic front.
Is it how the entire manga is going to be, or things will change on the future? I don't know.
I would like some romantic aspects in the story, but without being overbearing and absorbing the rest of the comic. In a way it feels a bit unnatural when you have a story starred by teenagers, from both genres and everyone being good looking, and where they are always in close contact... and somehow no ones does anything. Come on.

Coolio, I adore Dowman's art style so much and love shorts. Reminds me, I've never actually read all of Nickelodeon. Should probably change that.

Such popularity. The two were pretty much going to come to blows over her, lol.
Shishunki Bitter Change ch43
About time it happened. Let's hope it won't take too long for them to talk about it.
Kyou no Yuiko-san ch47 (End)
Eh, a rather straightforward and unremarkable ending for a rather straightforward and unremarkable series.
I don't even know how or why I started reading this as there is literally nothing from it that stands out, but at least that's one less thing to care about now.

Melancholia ch1 by Dowman Sayman
A new series by Dowman Sayman, and as they say, you can never have too much Dowman Sayman in your life. It seems seems to be a series of short stories, which is perfectly welcome and I have faith it'll be more than a match for its predecessors.
The world today.

Good Morning, Good Night(mare) (Madoka Rebellion doujinshi)
A collection of short stories centered around the Madoka cast, that's mostly inspired by the events of Rebellion. As one can expect from an anthology, there's quite a variety of styles in art and story. I'm however mainly talking about it because one story in particular caught my eye, namely Or Perhaps a Dream of Betrayal by Natsuno Riku:
The deceptively simple yet elaborately unnerving atmosphere it manages with its chibi-esque artstyle and dull monochrome is quite a feast for the eyes, and while the story is short, it makes great use of its illustrations to depict a world of doubt and deceit that the Magical Girls experience. Wish the author made more stories.
All in all, a fun little anthology, with of course some shipping.

Sachiko's never ending life of being fucking owned
I'm okay with anything as long as it's not super abrupt. Hell, I could take Mako if there is enough buildup. It's just that I've read too many romances that end with first girl/boy just because it is a stupid recurring trope and sometimes because the publication got axed and there needs to be a hastily written ending. Tomo Takeuchi has a strong grasp of each character's motivation, so I don't see it happening, but who knows?
It would be amusing if the winning girl turns out to be someone completely unrelated to the current roster lol

I can't wait for the anime adaption so that I can understand what's even going on half of the time.
Kimetsu no Yaiba 45
This arc has been great. Was only a matter of time until the matter with Nezuko got around to the human bigshots, and it's a great way to introduce the Pillars while also probably confirming the status Tanjiro and his sister are going to have among the demon hunters going forward.
Also seeing Tanjiro getting angry whenever someone wants to harm his sister will never get old. The way he just headbutted and smacktalked that arrogant big-shot with his hands tied was satisfying as fuck.

Agree. I'd much rather it end when it should instead of drag on.
Also because its one of my favorite manga currently running, I'd hate for it to have a shitty ending.

I think the most recent chapters are pushing Chinatsu HARD. (Also funny is that in the "heroine rankings" Takeuchi did, Shizuku got 4/5 and Chinatsu got 5/5, so I'd say there's a pretty good indication who the author favours. Gaju got ranked too at 1/5 stars, I laughed). We get a couple scenes showing Fujita taking more of a notice of Chinatsu along with realizing she's the most beautiful girl on the floor, and plus there's the part where they *almost* kiss recently. I think Chinatsu is written extremely well, and her presence is a hugely positive factor on in terms of making the last 4 volumes much, much better than the first arc.

But they're going back to his house! Obviously something will happen!
I still find it almost funny how pandering it is to losers. It was funny early on when people kept assuming maybe there was some kind of twist, but then, no it's just a totally stock series where a loser MC gets a stylish, super-hot girlfriend, and then it turns out he's a huge magnet for stylish, super-hot girls with big cans.

Yes it is, that's why I want some romantic comedy with premise like that since porn manga would just focused on the lewd
I'm going to wait for that writeup.
Isn't that more harem and ecchi kind of thing? That's why I don't consider it to my read list.
I'm quite sceptical because it's shoujo, but now I'm going in.
