I'm on a wall of shame.
Now I just need to see Bleach end and my life goals will be completed.

Still have fond memories of reading that series as one of my first manga.
Although I think it dropped the ball hard in its second half.
One of these days I'm gonna reread all of my teenage romance/harem-favourites.
Glorious suffering ahead.

It's like all his burning rage is flowing into his heated cooking.
Or some such shit. It almost feels like Tosh created this character and situation just to write this dumb line.
GAH!

I finish this. Let me say this, i admit i tear up reading this. So here it is, an impression for this 5 volume manga.

This manga is an autobiography of the author Higashimura Akiko (kuragehime, Omoni Naitemasu, etc). It start out as she's in 3rd year of highschool, a highschool student who want to become a mangaka. Attempting to enter art college to help pave her way to become mangaka, she enroll in an art class taught by Kenzou Hidaka, a very strict teacher who will beat you with a shinai if you're slacking during his class.

This is a story about youth, regret, hard work and more importantly it's about human relationship. I guess the author want to put her regret into an art. Maybe she want to tell the reader to cherish the thing you have. Maybe she really want to say sorry. Maybe this is her way to have her teacher live forever. I don't know. But i appreciate her effort in sharing this.

The timeline in this manga often go forward to future/current time or flashback. In a way, it remind me of when someone being nostalgic and start telling us a story without any planning. Details regarding certain event will be added later. Sometime a story got on hold because the teller try to remember a detail or her emotion caught up with her. It's really is that kind of story.

Right from the very beginning, we can guess how this story going to end. It's not a happy ending story. This is a drama, but author infuse self depreciating humor during the serialization, often describe her as something of an egoistical person or narcissist. One thing that strike me hard when i read the manga is the panelling during important point of the author life. she use a blank panel and wrote what her feel during that important moment. Yes, it's a technique often used in other manga as well, but damn, the one here is very effective at conveying emotion.

One thing i also notice, during the 1-4 vol. the cover is the author during it's youthful day, but in the final volume, she draw his teacher as the cover for the volume. This is probably her tribute, a farewell to her teacher, a final thanks for her teacher.

It's not often i feel this emotional when reading a manga. So yes, i recommend this manga wholeheartedly.

I've never really liked the apprentice but he's clearly necessary to help Sasakura escape his past.

Wait does this mean Arima isn't a one-eyed ghoul but rather blind in one eye making him literally Odin and the One-eyed king?

This adds whole new meaning.

Tokyo Ghoul: re 66

This chapter was packed and so fucking good. Seeing Eto fuck with Furuta at the end of that interrogation, man.

Hope we get to learn a bit more about Tatara's role in all this. The 'favor' must be her novel, right?

I can't tell where Amon is on the last panel there. I can't wait to see what he is going to do, its hard to believe he wouldn't assist Aogiri based on what's been revealed. He might just be working towards the same goals independently I guess, if he doesn't agree with their methods.

I also didn't see Shachi anywhere in this chapter, did I just miss him or were the spoilers incorrect? :(

Oh shit! That could definitely work with Shachi's comments. I just took them as him being human instead of ghoul though.

I just don't care anymore. Only reading out of habit now.

Akame ga Kill 68

i'm more interested in S-Desu and M-Desu's blossoming relationship then anything else in this series.

Nothing about this climax feels climactic or interesting. Just typical Bleach shit of perfect counters for every tactic and super secret hidden tech.

Well...yeah.

I love the anime but it definitely has some really problematic elements. I have a high tolerance and ability to ignore that shit in lew of a good anime/manga but I completely understand it being too much for most. Which is unfortunate cause all the not pandering is fucking EXCELLENT.

I guess I can deal with it cause even Shiro's "but you have me bro" references are more tongue in cheek and non-sexual and he really doesn't lust after her at all (may change in the LN, don't know). Doesn't excuse the loli nudity but...makes me able to handle it.

I don't think they really managed to plan that study session all well. Anyway, as usual, those expressions slayed me... though I wonder what happened at the end.

Okay, so I was really liking this manga a lot but the end of every chapter was kinda grating on me because it's SUPER FUCKING OBVIOUS that he's no longer around so her repeating it was getting on my nerves, but then I got to Chapter 21's ending with Futami's text and my eyes just started watering up uncontrollably.

I'll probably push through the rest of this tonight.

God. Those chapters were so hard to read. The author REALLY hates herself for taking him for granted and being such a selfish person. I don't think she ever got over that and this manga was her way to work those feelings out. Jesus this was really emotional.

Also, super interesting side to it that I learned a lot about the manga industry! Way more useful than Shirobako and anime.

Oh hey, this is pretty good. Seems better than GE so far. Although I do remember initially enjoying Good Ending, I think it made me pissed off as it went on and had a shitty ending? Has been so long I can't remember.

I am beginning to get a bit tired of the leeway the author gives Tatsumaki...I find Saitama's patience with her a bit extreme, even for his character. Also, we have had months over this 'fight' and then she says nothing...Tedious.

Never send a Nico to do a Nozomi's job. The random chapter translations aren't actually a barrier to reading this if you know the background, since each one seems to be self-contained. And fluffy. God, the fluffiness is almost suffocating.
