This is great. I really hope it gets an anime adaptation down the line, if only because I want to see this particular chapter animated.

Robobeam 7
Still not feeling this, but at least there are new characters more interesting than Robo being introduced.

The God of High School - Part 5 ending
So the author speaks about the problem he has had with this part and I mostly aree, the story was nice until it devolved into full action for weeks. Too cramped but too light at the same time. Plus the twist in the end of the part was surprising (which is good) but couldnt be guessed at any point (which is bad as it is just a bullshit way of doing them).
The set up for the new season looks interesting but I do not know what they are going to do with a character so OP if they literally are saying older characters are becoming weaker :/

Their Story ch129


Gosh, these two are so cute, it's not fair.

Ayame 14 ch7


Probably won't even be the most embarrassing thing she'll do during puberty.

Somali to Mori no Kami-sama ch12

Having a golem waiter is pretty cool. Signs of what is to come with automation.

Moee-chan wa Ki ni Shinai ch2

Looks like they've made an interesting new friend. Watch out, Maho, she's gonna steal Moee from you!
 
Nanashi no Asterism 20

That's a large amount of guts to spill to someone you've only met twice. Echoing Taruranto, I'll be amazed if this manages to wrap up in a way that doesn't leave me wanting to kick puppies. Especially if the remaining chapters are as uneventful as this one.

Yes. I'm surprised Mari is okay with having sex...

Prison School 251
HanaxKiyoshi is the only correct ship to board

Kaguya want to be confessed vol.5 extra

Oh boy, stalker girl got rekt. This is not going well for Kashiwagi

Beastar vol.2

First, we see a rabbit trying to fuck a wolf, then we see turmoil in Legosi heart. The murder case is just a backdrop story for the character to show their growth. I wonder if its ever going to be revealed?
 
Mousou Telepathy 280 - 305

Mana come in with the real talk. Tells both Hayato and Nanako whats up.

tomo-chan 549 - 555

lol, misaki-senpai is in for a rough time. He barely even survived a Tomom encounter.

Yukuyuku Futari 4 - 5.1

You can never hide it. Everyone always finds out eventually.

What twist? Did I miss something lol? Yeah most people who read it thought it went super saiyan too quickly. Planet sized gods and ocean cleaving kicks were a tad exaggerated.

This was my replacement for Air Gear, and it's ending already. I need another recommendation for ecchi manga with ridiculous physics.

Such a tragedy.

Although it's not the same exact thing, you can try Tsugumomo if you want a good mix of smut and action.

it seems like you decided to have a snack (on the hand) on the way over.

Their Story ch130


Putting other couples to shame, and they're not even dating yet.

Nanashi no Asterism ch20

I wonder if Asakura will babble about it accidentally.

Mob Psycho 100 ch99.01

Guess this'll be the final battle for Mob (and the toughest of them all).

Last episode before the time jump with the betrayal was kinda like... ok sure really shitty reasoning
EDIT: the battle with lucifer was cool but... seriously? how does he want to go after that?! He pulled a Tengen Topen Gurren Lagan level of powerscaling in those fights

The twist in God of High School isn't really out of nowhere.
Mujin Park
was always painted as a dubious character with questionable motives that uses people to his benefit. I believe it was always hinted that he held a grudge towards Taejin for losing too. Considering that Ragnarok was never labelled as the final arc anyway, you know end-game boss would eventually be him. I was fully expecting him to act within the Ragnarok arc itself but instead we're going to get one more drawn-out arc to close out the series.

And on the Ragnarok arc itself: while I do understand there is a bit of "quirikiness" to the author's design philosophies, some of the character designs of the major gods were atrocious.

It's like the cuteness factor is doubled every chapter, not sure how long they could keep this up.

Pretty big increase in optimism lately, feels good. Azudora came through.

It's just not the same...

When they came for Mx0, everyone was silent
When they came for Toriko, ya'll were nodding
When they came for Air Gear, well, everyone saw it coming
When they came for Keijo, they went too far

Now all I'm left with is Hinamatsuri...you monsters

They tried to remove Gintokis extra pinky finger in the posters with just some darkness
Nice try

Helck - up to around #65
Man, I love it when things get serious and the art's style and quality gets crazy good. Vermillio's pledge to Helck to not give up on humanity was great, and Azdra's death being brushed off in the way it did was actually a nice way to add a speck of light-heartedness to an otherwise despair-inducing chain of events.

...And now I'm hoping I'll be able to find some Piwi merch the next time I go to Japan. I think the constant screaming is what has warmed me up on him/her/it more than any other mascot characters I've seen as of late.

Karakuri Circus 1-241
Well that was a fun ride, from a really strong first arc with a kinda traditional story to later on throwing a curveball with a more "slice of life" / comedic approach to then add a motherfucking world war with a bittersweet end. And when you think it is over? lol nope here is a return of the first arc.
The use of flashbacks is really nice and helps with some of the themes of the manga, and the evolution of the different characters is nice (though it kinda feels very shounen with the things around one of the main characters). The artstyle is pretty good, fitting the tone of the scene (creepy, scary, pure motherfucking awesome, simple, all depending of the scene) .
And now to play the waiting game :/ I really should learn japanese.

TSUKI GA MICHIBIKU ISEKAI DOUCHUU 1-21
Pretty run of the mill japanese guy enters gets thrown into another dimension where he is op. He then proceeds to make an harem. The art style is clean and has some interesting relations between characters, they dont feel as forced as many of the others.

What the hell is with japan and making those mangas? I know most of them are adaptations from Light novels but how did they start flooding the market?
 
Satan's Secretary 1

JVJU1FD.jpg


A familiar demon vs humans fantasy scenario, where the demon king has a genius strategy for conquering the world - kidnap humanity's best and brightest, and then force them to plan his war strategies using their insider knowledge. Unfortunately for everyone involved, he abducts the secretary to the king of an advanced nation, who's pragmatic to the point of ridiculousness and - judging from her initial actions and the joyful reaction of the king when he realises she's gone - an absolute nightmare to deal with. I'm getting strong Maou-jou de Oyasumi vibes from basically every element of this, which is high praise by itself, and combined with the promising humour and entertaining female lead it's a no-brainer to follow.

I was afraid they were going with a romantic route with the dude the MC has a crush on, but it looks like he's just a friendly (??) dude and also kinda of a dick, which it's much more fitting for the "realistic" tone the manga has.

It still a bit too melodramatic at times, the author's incredibly "flowery" style probably doesn't help.


I wonder how long until this get canned. Surely something like this can't sell much? Then again, maybe the author's name will carry it, she wrote some hits, iirc.
 
Haikyu ~11

The art of this can be a bit messy at times and with so much black on the page it can be hard to tell who the various supporting characters are. I also don't care much for Hinata as the protagonist I find him really annoying and his gimmick of getting sick before a match has gotten old.

Why are you not watching the anime.

Disgusting.

Also I check out my manga for chapter 11 and the art is is super good. I don't really get that first comment.

Edit: oh you are reading scans.

I think Hinata will grow on you (or at least hope. I'd say Hinata is my favorite jump protagonist right now). The getting sick before matches will never get as bad as it is at this point (I think this is the first practice match), and it becomes very self aware when it comes to Hinata's pre match anxieties, with him
always running into "scary" people at the bathroom before a match.

Yeah viz's handling of the series in terms of whats on the free section is too wonky for me to follow and they're stupid and not adding it to the magazine so *shrugs*

That doesn't surprise me (this is jump after all) but I find it interesting early on the "rival" character has developed more thanks to Hinata then Hinata himself.

Actually really liked how the first dance played out, this was pretty intense and interesting. I'm enjoying this a lot, was the manga canceled or something or did it end ok?

Kaguya 14

This chapter destroyed me. Did the president seriously get valentine's chocolate with pubic hair mixed in? And he has a pubic hair fetish? Is there some hidden storyline or something? I can't handle this
 
Prison School 251

Hana and Kiyoshi is the only ship. Fuck Chiyo.

Since I caught up to Prison School, I'm sad now. Anyone have any recommendations for mangas that is similar. Mostly comedy if possible and a decent amount of chapters.
