It's My Life - Day 45
That was one weird tournament arc, and the ending was pretty bittersweet with Astra giving Noah an IOU ticket valid ten years from then expecting she'll have fogotten all about it when the time comes (even though it might become a heartwarming Chekov Gun if the story does keep going until then). The juxtaposition of the two's happy and fun life and everybody else's stories about coping with the passage of time and how things never last forever is pretty ominous and bittersweet, which I find pretty interesting.

Black Lily and White Lily 3

Oh, so it's that kind of repentance room. Well, repentance is important. Very important. Yes. If Lily and the president are actually on reasonable terms, this series just lost what I assumed was going to be its antagonist. Someone (or something) else should probably assume that role, since the characters aren't really engaging enough to keep the story interesting if there isn't a source of tension.

I'm glad D-Frag is being translated again. I've read like 5 chapters in two days. Great series, needs a season 2!

The Kazama family tsukkomi is the one of the best most overused gag I've read.

She's hiding something...

Engaged to the Unidentified Vol.7 Ch.12
Benio's siscon is so strong that Hakuya is only processed as a blurry mess through her eyes. How concerning.

Love is Hard for Otaku ch.19.5
And this is why you shouldn't go on a haunted house ride if you don't have someone you want to hold on to.

Of course you could just never go on those things in the first place, like I do, and that'd be equally valid.

Azudora you beautiful son of a bitch!

Save of from our suffering!

Talentless Nana 4
So he's being set up as a long term rival, as we thought, which is good. However, I can't help but feel a little let down with his power... It's pretty plain. Though as we've seen before the distinct weaknesses can give interesting spins to them so hopefully that can come more into play later.

Unfortunately my L comparison from last chapter is starting to feel a little too apt... this guy so far is basically a slightly angrier L. I can totally see this ending with the I-suspected-you-all-along-but-subconsciously-didn't-want-to-believe-it-because-you-were-my-first-friend thing. That being said, again, we're super early in the story so he'll probably get more fleshed out and diverge as the plot moves along.

 

[Semblance]

A Trail of Blood ch. 11

I mean, of course he wasn't going to snitch on his mom, no matter how much the tension was played up.

Jitsu wa Watashi wa ch. 182

Oh my god at the last page. Even Shirayuki is stunned over this tomfoolery.

Ugh, I'm on the verge of dropping this. It's not even moderately interesting.

 

[Zweizer]

Black Lily and White Lily ch3

Repentance play might be a bit too early for Yuri. Lily herself had quite a hard life, so it's good that Yuri is pretty supportive and caring of her roommate (and lover).

Flying Witch ch35

So much for Chinatsu's time to shine. Good thing Makoto has a pretty reliable senpai to rely on.

Attack on Titan ch96

Wouldn't have guessed that they were practically on the edge of being devoured by the titans themselves at the start of the series, lol.

 

[A Huge Battleship]

KanColle - Kongou of the Carribbean 1-2 (SFW doujin)

Well, this is gloriously stupid. It's KanColle meets PotC with time travel, mecha and apparently now dinosaurs. I was about to skim over it until I saw that Iso Hime was the abyssal lead, and now I'm glad I didn't. The writing, flow, subject matter and (at times) the art almost make it feel like one of those silly tumblr/DA comics, but it's crazy enough that my brain doesn't care. Despite the 'THE END' above, there's actually still more to come so I'll be holding my oxygen tanks for that.

 

[Kieli]

Soma 226

Ugh, I'm on the verge of dropping this. It's not even moderately interesting.

I've dropped it. It stopped being interesting ever since 10th seat's dad entered the picture.

Maou-jou de Oyasumi 37

Yeah, observing the princess for <5 minutes is a foolproof way to kill off any sympathy you might have towards her. Seeing the hero make progress towards her rescue feels oddly surreal, as does seeing the upper echelons of the demon army engaging in a serious strategy meeting. With or without vuvuzelas.

My money is that Jump series being released on Friday had a trickle down effect. The sales only go to Sunday after all.

Shouldnt anything print sales wise be good since its an online only series, not like its in a published magazine in circulation.

[Turin Turambar]

51 Ways to save my girlfriend

This can be divided in two halves. The first half is a decent disaster romp after a big Earthquake hits Tokyo. The protagonists help people, see horrible stuff, they escape from problems, live dangerous situations, etc. It feels more or less realistic. The pace is good, it never dwells too long in a place or plot point.
The second half is when things turn ugly. First, the rape angle starts. The first encounter of that nature was ok, I understand the author wanted to show how dangerous people can exploit the chaos of the situation and the lack of law enforcers. But then there is a second attempt. And the climax of the comic is a third attempt, with a very big group of rapists. WTF, it's both creepy and not very realistic that the general populace fall so much in that behavior. It was an earthquake and only a few days have passed, it wasn't freaking WW3 with the nuclear apocalypse coming.
Second, there is a very stupid 'religious sect' plotline that stretches belief. The protagonist is brainwashed in just 48 hours, and the reasons of how it happens feel contrived. Again, it was just a big earthquake, not the Rapture, in a few days I can't believe the sect gained power. It was facepalming and made me want to drop it but I continued because I was near the end.
And third, the ending was very predictable

Spoiler

(I so guessed right that the newborn baby would solve the incident

). Characters were also predictable, nothing particularly interesting happened with them.

Overall I can't recommend it.

It's cool to see how Tsukauchi ended up becoming friends with All Might. Also hilarious that he was just basically his legal help lol. I want to see more of him cause it seems like he is Quirkless and I find that interesting.

Yakusoku no Neverland chp 1 - 7

Poor Alraune just wants to be nice.

That's some next-level bullying. Sayaka is just too nice for her own good.

Tomo-chan wa Onna no ko! ch602

Not saying anything is probably the wisest move.

Witch Hat Atelier ch6

Kids can be real jerks towards each other.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I mean, A-kun initially comes off like he's just a regular guy who is easily annoyed by Yoshiko, but Sayaka does fairly point out at one point that his actual problem is that he's kind of just an asshole in general, so even assuming he wanted to get away from Yoshiko, it wouldn't really matter since nobody likes a jerk. Whether it's Yoshiko's fault or not is a different question.

 

[RedHoodedOwl]

Any recommendations for cyberpunk or android/human relations stories?

In other words, she's just too nice for putting up with up with such a tag team of hard-to-deal people.

I mean, Yoshiko's stupidity and the attendant stupidity of the Public Morals Chairwoman overshadows everything else so its not quite as obvious that A-kun is kind of an asshole. It's easy to assume that he's a well-rounded Manga MC, but in reality the way he acts with Yoshiko isn't all that different from anyone else. I mean other than constantly hitting Yoshiko.

The first one was just a few short stories set after the events of the main series. Mostly cute stuff that's fun to read, but there's also a pair of plot ones that set up the next two books. If you like Lawrence and Holo's interactions you'll like it. I won't say more because it'd spoil it for you.
