What's a good app to read manga on iOS?

It's a pretty big "if", but MangaWan's kind of nice if you can read Japanese. The selection is okay albeit somewhat limited (I read Helck, The World God Only Knows and Slow Motion wo Mou Ichi Do from there, and Mob Psycho's also being uploaded there), and you can unlock up to four chapters for free every twelve hours (with free stocks refershing at 9AM and PM Japan time).

You also need a JP-region app store account to download the app, but it's definitely worth your time if you can actually read raws.

Popularity poll and extra pages for the end of the arcs. Looks like Zumou isn't ending anytime remotely soon.
 
Seifuku no Vampiress Lord 5.5

I would've also taken that girl over Rin, though not if it meant getting a male MC and the accompanying footnote. Although if one of the guys had been Aikawa-esque then ehhhh. Also the tracksuits would've been oddly missed.

Do we know if the wnl volumes are adding in nipples?

Also they canceled Samon so there's potential for HM to survive a few extra weeks.

Oriobana is pretty cool here. I wish she wasn't poised to lose.

Seifuku no Vampiress Lord ch5.5

For starters, she has better fashion sense than Rin.

Rokudou no Onna-tachi ch33

I can already see the reveal coming with the siblings.

Did he leave or was he perma banned?
He had a post in one of the other threads. Decided to stop posting since gaf had become too big of a distraction/time sink and that the negativity on the site was hurting his enjoyment of some series.

I'm not ruling out a comeback!
 
Hideout 1-10

I really liked this story and I especially liked the ending. Does anyone know any other good horror manga? I've already read Uzumaki by Junji Ito.

Hajime no Ippo... ALL OF IT

Anyway... I've now read through the entirety of Hajime no Ippo that's out in volumes (AKA through volume 117, which ends on chapter 1170), which I've been focusing on for months now. Never read it before (though saw through the initial anime), and did all as one, big old stretch... So that was the longest thing I've ever read through, and probably ever will for quite some time (I've read through all of Jojo's, but it wasn't quite this long back then yet, and plus that's broken up into the parts anyway.) I enjoyed it straight through for the most part, even with the slowed down pacing. Like, it's less exciting when Ippo's stuck in title defense purgatory forever structurally, as it removes the idea that he's clawing his way higher, but... honestly, the fights themselves were still solid, with a few exceptions.

All that said... it's kind of scary to me that it looks like it has quite a bit left in it. Like, if nothing else, the scariest bit (though it does feel weirdly out of touch with where everyone else is on their goals...) is that Takamura STILL only has conquered two weight classes at this point. Like, holy crap, how long was it since the Eagle fight?! Thought for sure at the end of that that he'd be up through four or five of them by the time I caught up...

Oh, and I've gotta ask: how insane was the salt when the whole Randy Boy Jr. stuff started and just completely crushed the impending Miyata fight? Because that felt like the most "haha, screw you fans who's been waiting like 70+ volumes or whatever for this rematch at this point!" thing I've ever seen, holy crap!

Also, just out of curiosity... how old is Ippo now in universe? Like, time's been consistently passing, but they haven't really brought it up. But he's gotta be, like, somewhere in his mid 20s by this point, yeah?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm still holding out (perhaps unreasonable) hope that Hungry Marie can avoid the immediate cancellation, 2 volume blatantly cut-off early position at least. Like, let it at least hit the 4+ volume range so it can do at least a LITTLE something before dying... (It's totally gonna die hard though, because Jump surveys apparently hate me, and thus make this die while letting things that are terminally dull to me like WNL and Robo live on...) Man, this is the saltiest I've ever been and probably ever will be over this junk, haha.

Pretty convenient creatures.
This reunion is gonna be awkward.

If that's playing, I can't wait to see them fighting seriously.

"He's just about the only guy who would call me his friend!"

I'm not sure if this says more about Gaius or Sureau.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
Sureau was just nice to Gaius to get into Farlyn's pants.

Sureau might only been interested on Gaius sister, but I can imagine him assisting them in some manner if he finds out they were able to resurrect her
 
Danberu nan kiro moteru? 22

I don't see this idol thing working out for them.
Also, I know Machio is strong, but I don't think you can get superhuman hearing from working out at the gym.

shokugeki no soma 218

Well, threre's no way the 1st or 2nd seat E10 is going to lose this match. At best the rebel team will win one with Mimasaka.

jitsu wa watashi wa 174

Akane is a true demon. Poor Akari.

I'm sure Asahi had many ideas of how to handle this. I'm not sure what thought process led to this being the best.
And Genjirou is dumb, lol.

Happiness ch. 29

That two-page spread of Gosho walking with Makoto on the other side of the fence in the background looks so good. I feel like he'll be reintroduced proper soon.

Poor mom.

Dungeon Meshi ch. 35

The two groups actually met up sooner than I thought they would.
 
UQ Holder needs to ditch the romance so it can be good again, its lost what I really loved about the series.

I am glad the chapter remembered that Santa kun still exist, he even said nii chan.

I really like the 3 main characters, and the Perifery characters (ESPECIALLY the captain) all seem fine as well. I really like that this is Elementary and not middle/high like most sports manga I've read. It allows for little things like Roku explaining to Soshi that they need to start getting along with girls because "My sister says we will regret it soon", and it allows for a coed team to exist without the girl needing to be some child prodigy.
 
Raisekamika 01-04



New manga from the Ga-Rei/Tokyo ESP mangaka I randomly stumpled upon.
It's basically a boy-meets girl supernatural action romance isekai-but-not-really story. Since the two can move between the 'worlds' at will and they aren't the only ones and the other world affects the real world.
With fucking gorgeous art.

Thanks for the heads up. Never thought i'd see the day a manga took inspiration from Black Clover lol. Getting a Cavalier of the Abyss vibe from it. Whatever happened to that manhwa? I always dug the crazy confusing story though I know it turned off other people.
