The Cherubs are taking Kiyoshi away. ;_;

Wait, was Chiyo the one that shouted that he was a Striped Panties wearing Pervert? lol It's hard to tell because the text bubbles aren't pointing to folks in a bunch of those panels around there. Hana letting her true feelings out too. ;_;

Oh, missed that one somehow when I was looking through his works a while ago I guess.

Most of the works I've read by him are far far shorter so it's interesting to see what he does with longer series. Is Punpun any good?

Punpun is arguably Asano's greatest work so far. Go read it, like, as soon as you can, and be sure to share your impressions!
 
Gintama 580

I don't understand... were was he running to all the time?

Being a mercenary? Trying to have money for his family instead of staying there with them? Was the regret of taking her away from her home planet that had that life force the reason as to why he couldn't be with her due to guilt. Why couldn't he bring her back to her planet from time to time to regenerate? Did the planet disappear when she left it?

I think it was that he was exploring the universe trying to see if he could find something that could "cure" her condition. As for why they couldn't bring her back? No clue. Maybe she wasn't in a good enough condition to actually make a flight?
 

Angry Grimace

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Komi had been wrapping the story up for the past 10 months now, so I very much doubt this new situation is just going to end up leading to nothing. It's going to end "soon" but not so soon in a few chapters.

I have my doubts. He's doing a LOT of time skipping to get it moving (they've graduated 2nd year and gotten like halfway through 3rd in like 30 chapters and all of the other girls got rejected other than the main 2), but there's still some lingering plot threads, e.g. they've started mentioning Onodera's dad, the locket, a brand new out of nowhere plot thread about Chitoge being sent back to America for REASONS.

Dismissing the harem doesn't mean anything when he can spend 30 chapters resolving it if he wants. I'm always reminded of how long the actual climax arc took in Love Hina (a long fucking time and involved a lot of insane shit) I just hope the resolution of the Locket plot thread isn't as dumb as Love Hina.

For those uninitiated into Love Hina, the main plot of Nisekoi is roughly the same: the main character Keitaro made a childhood promise to meet up with a girl and go to Tokyo University with her but he has bad memory and can't remember who she is.
He ends up falling in love with Naru, the main tsundere girl, and after a billion chapters, they get together. After they get together (which involves dismissing an entire harem), the MacGuffin character who knows who the Promise Girl is returns and just matter-of-factly reveals the Promise Girl was just Naru the whole time.

I wondered this too. I think its that she wanted to stay there because of the kids, and she valued staying with them over her health. Probably.

How often we get a manga about polyandry?
Two guys, one woman, married together. It's interesting, and i need to see how this end for various reason.
 
BLack Clover

I like the way Dorksta is being able to use his sword to help them identify the traitor among the captains (since he just bopped the captives on the head). Though I wonder if the catured will say different answers.

Majority rules in randomized groups is total bull. At least they managed to snake out of it.

It's just another happenstance of the series' tendency to put thematic concept over actual sensible characterization.

This woman who was depicted as an equal to the strongest man of the universe had to stay home for the kids for some reason instead of giving that task to the husband from time to time to avoid death.

Another sad day indeed. Stay safe Zweizer, hopefully Belgium's over the worst for today.

I'm pretty sure Jun took a peek inside her pant leg there.
 
Stay safe home and read manga, Zweizer.

I feel like I've glimpsed some important truth of the universe here, even if it's only that F2P marketing tactics are the devil's playground. Independent research suggests that zombie Koume, vampire Ranko and matango Syoko would make for an effective business strategy.

Thanks y'all. Things seem to have quieted down somewhat, and folks here remained pretty calm, despite the tense atmosphere.

I'm lucky no family member has been hurt, but damn.

Glad to hear you and your family are safe Zweizer. I seen some of the people I know on Twitter posting images and it is horrible. Stay safe.
 
good to hear you're safe Zweizer

who would read manga if you weren't here

--------------------------------

kodansha announcing 7 new licenses is pretty damn interesting, especially since they mostly ran out of attack on titans/fairy tail spin offs to release

cool to see Sweetness and Lightning licensed
Kyokou Suiri is a nice pick too

You know a manga is great when you can't decide which was the best technique shown within one chapter, every chapter.
