I guess what Im most grateful for is all the new series can help keep BLack Clover elevated.

Also I guess the Zumou ending rumor was false?

U19 and Poro are soooo dead.
Hungry Marie getting color on its 8th chapter? That's amazing. We'll see what Japan really thinks of it next week.
Next week is Dr Stone's first ranking.

I wonder if Viz will translate that Shimabukuro one-shot.

Okumura also deserves praise (as well as Seto). I just want him and Sawamura to pair up, I just want a skip button to when it happens. Theyd be the perfect battery.

Sawamura was pretty awesome on the mound, I wish he did manage to connect though.

When is the last time Viz did a one shot?

No clear Tota-nii shots, :(

I wonder who will win Yukihime or Kirie...if the writer choose to go with that outcome. Come Santa-kun get in there.

Santa is the character that's expressed by far the least amount of interest in Touta. Even if you assumed Touta and Santa were both gay.

Seems pretty obvious that Akamatsu is going with Kirie.

Man, is there a manga whose art got a more significant 'downgrade' than Seikon no Qwaser? It almost seems like Satou stopped giving a damn from one chapter to the next. Truly a shame.

Fuuka

Yuu sprains his hand because he's fondling Fuuka's breasts and the band's manager (whom Sara sent to sabotage Yuu's chances of having sex with Fuuka) comes in and this surprises him. Also, this dude is comically un-smooth. There's a smooth way to cop a feel and what this guy did.

What? How do you manage that? That's not how sprains work.

Seo logic, my friend. The fact he was even attempting to go beyond first base with his girlfriend is far more logical than most shit that happens in this. It's Seo-standard though that attempts to have sex get interrupted at least 3 times before they actually go through with it.

He was fondling her tits in the kitchen of a community occupied house, so I mean, its not surprising he'd fall into the booby trap of getting interrupted.

I mean, but if it was real life; they'd be fucking like rabbits (they're 19 year olds that just started a relationship), not awkwardly copping feels.
 
I'm not gonna say HxH has bad art but I definitely don't hold the general opinion of HxH to begin with so I'm not sure how much my dislike of it matters.

Now what's the next step in your master plan?

It actually has incredible art but Togashi was in pretty bad health for a long time. Most all the sketchy art is cleaned up for the volume releases and when he really wants to he can blow you away:

Damn at Neverland's growth! Once again Spring Weapon's newest volume has failed to show up in the top 50 for it's first week. I can't see Jump letting this live even if it has good rankings, selling is damn more important.

Togashi

bad art

pick one

edit: and i know he has some periods where his chapters looks like chicken scratches but those chapters are just to get along his bad health. I trash togashi all the time but hes an old fart by now
 

HStallion

Now what's the next step in your master plan?
While very detailed, I wouldn't particularly call that art great tbh

I'd disagree as the panel more than accomplished what Togashi set out to when drawing it. I think he's a pretty good artist who just took shit care of himself and it showed in a lot of his work for a long time.

its just togashi's artstyle, doesnt mean the art is bad. He cuts some corners but give the old man some slack. Beatup gon is the proof of his prowess
 
I just don't like his art style. I don't think it's all that. I'm not even talking about his bad health stuff, I never liked Yu Yu Hakusho's art either.

Where did all the Shingeki buyers go, remember it could debut 1mln+
Sad fate for these other Jump series + HeroAca spinoff.

Yeah, he's really good at drawing, it's just that his characters look really bad design-wise.

At least YYH characters had the excuse of living in the 90s so it made sense for them to look like dorks.

any good trashy series/harems running these days?

I've been out of the loop for a while
We Never Learn has been around for a few months now. It's about a guy who needs to teach two savant geniuses from his school how to study subjects they are not very good at in order to get into his dream university
 

HStallion

Now what's the next step in your master plan?
didn't you also like Toriko tho?

Is the author of Toriko doing anything new? I actually thin he had a very strong eye, I think he was just held back by Toriko in some respects. I'd love to see him do something less shonen and more seinen. More stuff like Acacia and Neo near the end.

I don't know where this is going but you bet I am totally strapped in for the ride. Loved this chapter

The days when i shit posted toriko endlessly. Almost got me banned also

This gem from the best manga thread

toriko, a manga so insignificant the number of people that care about it itt adds up to how old the underage girl was when the author fucked her
