The Girl from the Other Side ch.1-5: A very beautiful little manga. I love the quiet thoughtful storytelling, it feels very pensive and melancholic but Shiva is such a bright sunshine ray there's a lot of smaller moments of joy too.

Akagi ch301
So that's the last hurrah (for real this time), huh? Akagi didn't change at all, lol.
Somali to Mori no Kami-sama ch23
Even in fantasy, dentistry is scary.
Yuri Mekuru Oshigoto ch18
Who knew watermelons and mosquitoes could be so romantic.
This reminds me of a certain doujinshi.
Tomo-chan wa Onna no ko! ch639
Might as well just let her run alone.
Rokudou no Onna-tachi ch60
That was a pretty nice declaration, and reversal.
lmao

Kinda wish we followed Lemillion instead of Deku.
The Adora Burst powers are pretty bullshit though. But entertaining.
And some really cool panelling in that fight.
I really liked this sequence.

Tanjiro doing way better than expected. Should be cool to see Uzui fight.

Adding in night practice, Coach is dedicated. Already signaling out the main three for elite training with other team's players. I could see Roku and Nanase getting chosen but maybe not Soshi.
"Woah, who's that guy he's, oh wait nevermind it's just Kamoshida" was a funny panel.
Introduction of friendly rival is good. The last page spread of his pass to Nanase was well done.
Another hint of whatever is going on with Roku, but still have to wait for that to go anywhere.

Aw shit. Time to dig in.
I'm not hot on the two new characters, but considering they can't bring Sano back they're fine in terms of a replacement. Though, I'd rather have Sano...
Disgraceful. 😩

Goodnight Punpun 111-114
Holy shit, that escalated quickly. Not that I didn't expect it to head in this direction but fuck. I really hope there's some sort of explanation for all of these 'gods' people keep seeing soon too.
115-121
Holy fuck these characters are all fucking insane.

Yuri Natsu -Kagaya Inn- 0-1
Well ain't that just fantastic? The yuri family from Yuri Family get their own mini-series, except they're running an inn for some reason. And the 4th daughter seems to have been written out of existence. If this intro's anything to go by, they'll be hosting a lot of yuri couples and/or yurifying the ones that aren't together. Followed because etc.

Goodnight Punpun 122-134
The part with them just being on the run felt like it dragged on for just a bit too long here, and the stuff with the cult all still seems kind of superfluous. I still keep going back and forth between hating these two (especially when Punpun randomly assaulted that guy from the convenience store), and wanting things to work out for either one or the other, or both, but I think it's safe to say that's definitely not going to happen at this point. Starting the final volume now...

Twin Star Exorcists - Benio-hen 01
So while Rokuro is busy having a training and tournament arc in the main-story, Benio's journey to reclaiming her lost powers gets relegated to a quarterly spin-off. Right.
I'm pretty disappointed with the direction this took - or more accurately, how this direction is being handled.
I liked this manga because it promised Rokuro and Benio as twin protagonists and the romance between them. Sure, Rokuro was always a bit more 'the' protagonist, but Benio was always there when things happened and important.
I don't even mind the current arc. I don't even mind Benio losing her powers temporarily and her and Rokuro having to go their separate ways in the meantime.
But at the very least, why couldn't you alternate between the two in the main story?
Sigh.
About the chapter itself, it wasn't bad. Being set primarily in Magano it's inherently more unsettling and learning more about the Basara is interesting. That shit with Kamui wasn't necessary though.
Still, sigh.

Goodnight Punpun END
Well, god damn. That was certainly one hell of a ride, definitely have quite a few things I want to say about it (though I usually don't go to in depth with this sort of thing). Fuck, there was some dark shit here. I don't know what I expected after Aiko killed herself but it sure as hell wasn't Punpun dragging her corpse along for another day. As for Punpun as a character, it was really bizarre how it felt so easy to relate to him yet felt like I didn't understand a thing about him sometimes. Not just because of how he was portrayed physically, but how his dialogue and thoughts were shown. There was a big disconnect with how it was done as a sort of narration instead of coming directly from him, and because so much seemed to happen off screen with him, which comes up when Sachi is going around asking about him that there seemed like there was another side of him altogether that we didn't even see, although that did at least keep some part from becoming too predictable. There were definitely some other "OH SHIT" moments near the end too, I had to bust out the first volume twice to check when I realized that Sachi was the girl they ran into at the factory, and that the guy Punpun's mom was talking to in the hospital was their friend from back then who moved. Lastly, I do feel a little conflicted about the ending itself. It was definitely neat to just get a glimpse of what Punpun and his uncle really looked like, and to get some actual dialogue directly from him, but it did feel like it was lacking some consequence by skipping ahead after he was being questioned by the police. Then again, after all the shit he went through it was good to see him get a mostly happy ending. I still feel like the whole bit with Pegasus and his cult was a bit of a waste of time. I'm skimming over an interview with Asano and he said it was mainly to have another story going on to keep the main one from getting to stale, although I don't feel it really succeeded at that. Also, I'm kind of disappointed that the 'gods' people saw didn't really amount to anything. I guess they were mainly meant to be symbolic but when it seemed like Pegasus knew people could see these things I thought there was going to be a bit more to it than that.
Lastly, I wish the book itself didn't have a white cover, there are smudge marks from my fingers all over it now...

Asano said on record that the ending was the worst possible outcome for Punpun, actually. I personally really like the simplistic covers.
Hope you enjoyed it, and that it wasn't too depressing, lol.

I did enjoy it, although tbh I don't necessarily agree with what Asano intended it to be, although he doesn't seem to mind that people still debate about it at least. I suppose I did read through each volume a little too quickly sometimes for the heavy shit to stick with me as much as it could have. If this were an anime I think I probably wouldn't have been able to push through some parts of it.

NT-Rex. This chapter heralded the birth of the strongest fighting technique in the history of fiction. I suspect the author has a grudge against bears, seeing as how they seem to fill the role of stock villains whenever it's required.

Read the new Rurouni Kenshin chapter, and it was a pretty nice return. It really did feel like the series was just continuing with a timeskip, and there wasn't a real world gap. Though Sano being gone is a shame, I thought the new characters were decently entertaining. I would have preferred more time spent in town before they decided to go off to Hokkaido, though.
Prison School ch264-265
Things keep getting messier, huh. Kiyoshi is pretty determined at least.
Someone sure knows how to turn a precarious situation to his advantage.

Really liking the various tidbits about dragons' lives. Takiya and Fafnir makes for a great pair. Also, Kobayashi actually fits these clothes rather well!
Gottta love them rare drops.

Poor Ouhi getting bullied. Sunao is still the same as ever, lol.

Number 2 havin' fun. Well, the Rogue Roses aren't doing too badly, from a certain point of view. Let's hope things remain that way.
Murenase! Shiiton Gakuen ch34
Can it really count as NTR(ex) if they never went out to begin with?
This is a weapon of mass destruction of unprecedented scale that has to have violated a few rules in the Geneva convention.

Darwin's Game 38-42
Wow, that is some major mindfuckery going on now that this Island Survival arc is gearing up.
That's one way to advance the story beyond the initial premise of
Sudo Kaname suddenly gets involved in a death game through the mysterious mobile app "Darwin's Game."
I've also skimmed the first few chapters again and my mind is blown because he's actually been setting that up and has introduced major players that have only been relevant recently as early as chapter 3. Damn.
Also suddenly monsters.

Have some Shuka in a dress for counterbalancing.
And I'm loving how badass Kaname has gotten.
Start a magic ecchi harem romcom manga -> once it gets going turn it into a battle shonen that still happens to be a ecchi harem romcom manga on the side -> make a rushed ending due to external circumstances -> start a vaguely connected sequel -> after it get's going turn it into a direct sequel and reintroduce many of the characters and remaining plot points of the original series -> end the original series in the sequel again -> continue on with the sequel

Friendship between monsters and humans is wonderful. The princess continues to find new and creative ways to maim the castle's inhabitants, whether physically, emotionally or both. Her chocolate crisis almost made me pity her initially, but I'm not making the alraune's mistake from a few chapters back.

Good training camp, I thought we were going to be ending the story soon, but if we're doing a camp instead of the tourney perhaps this will last quitew a long time.
Need to know Roku backstory though.

Well, uh, this is awkward. I mean, it was fairly likely that someone amongst the class had a kind of predictive power that was going to be problematic for her, but the photographic aspect is going to double the difficulty. On the plus side, at least she has the rest of the class (minus Kyouya) onside, and this guy doesn't strike me as being a high tier opponent.
