Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Negi definitely has a type. It apparently transferred to his clone/grandchild. If Negi or Tota ever met Futaba from Persona 5 they'd think they died and went to heaven.

Both Touta and Negi would get everyone to Confidant Level 8 and then do nothing until the last day when they got Futaba to 10.

Yamada to Kase-san ch1 by Takashima Hiromi

So hey, I didn't expect it to have a sequel focusing on their college life, it's pretty neat and I hope they'll continue to have nice moments together (as well as their friends). It doesn't look like much has changed from the countryside however (and I wouldn't call a fifty minutes train ride 'fast').

He's an Uzumaki, so he has the potential to develop a substantial amount of chakra. Even Naruto could make a thousand clones with his own chakra in Part 1.

wasn't that because the Fox chakra blended in with his own. I know the Uzumaki clan have great chakra and stuff based off his mom, but I swore the fox is the reason he was able to go ham, till he learned control between timeskips.

Initially, that was the presumed reason. It was later retconned with the introduction of the Senju's vitality(which the Uzumaki seemed to inherit more strongly), and that transmigratiing chakra nonsense.

Even some of his fast healing capabilities were later represented as an aspect of the strong lifeforce that the Senju/Uzumaki inherited from Asura.

Just one of a number of things Kishimoto didn't think through thoroughly enough.

UQ Holder

I'm dying
KuGsj.gif


This manga has turned into trolling the fuck out of Kirie all day every day. I'm guessing these last two chapters probably caused DTL to tap out given that Touta just straight up has hooked up with Kirie which makes the whole "secret Santa relationship" theory go down in flames.

I think Akamatsu just likes that specific character because there's stuff in the limited edition volume of UQ Holder where they confirmed that the girl Negi liked (who he told Asuna about in the last bit of Negima) was Chisame (who is basically the same character as Kirie).

Akamatsu really ramp up the lewd after he move to monthly magz

I like Toriyama's art but him being so up there makes no sense
His mechanical and monster art is iconic, so i can see why his name on the list

Horikoshi not being on that list at all is the biggest crime. He should easily be near the top.

Still a new guy, give him a couple of years and he'll probably on the list

I love Obata but I can't think of many manga artists that are on Takehiko's level, let alone Jump artists

Inoue Takehiko is on a whole another level, so yeah. Araki probably come close due to his

Don't Make Me So Turned On 3 (END) (NSFW)

The magazine this was running in was axed, so RIP. Have to say though, after that determined vow to make Kaede fall for her, I find that ending absolutely hilarious.


I just went through the 5 stages of grief in <2 minutes after reading and confirming that.

Rip magz

That kinda made me mad. I like him tapping into Kurama's chakra better.

A hot pot is more work than anything I've ever made while camping. I bet it would be good on a cold night though.

Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san 59 - 61

Of course she's crazy for Kogarashi.
Though its hilarious that he stopped that fight because of a school trip.
That sure was an ingenious trap by yaya.

That sure is a strong nose.

...that's my daily commute...
 
well prev job I had either a 5-minute commute or a 30 min bus ride depending on schedule, so I guess making up for it.



what's your profession?

god, I wish I could work from home. fuck this commute.

I work with a team that manages data, statistics and other dull analytical stuff. The only time I'm ever needed in the office is to either give/have a performance review or brief someone above me. Which considering half the time I can just phone in, is not often. Maybe like twice every three weeks, but that is an hour and a bit bus commute.

I'm contractually obligated to say it's dull and boring. And, even if I wasn't I still would as I don't want anyone else stealing my job. I mean, I'm working right now. But what am I doing? Browsing for some Manga, LN and Anime to read/watch.
 
Ace of Diamond 2 Chp 77
C_eBTquXkAM7r7z.jpg:small


So much praise this chapter, and Furuya hit once again with needing to trust others. Im surprised he stills stays ace and frontlines even with his rocky performance.

Oh well, Sawamura Okumura scenes always are what I enjoy funny way to close the chapter.

Kawakami got some love too.

Kingdom ch516

I wonder how many granaries they have. Too bad for the earl that being a decent human being is going to bite him in the ass.

Horimiya ch78

That sure was a close save. At this point though I don't think his tattoos matter much.

Murenase! Shiiton Gakuen ch26.5

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or something like that.

Rokudou no Onna-tachi ch22

So he's not going for a 1v1. He talks big but sure don't act like it.

The rumours are about the volume release right? Why would that bring up the chance of the manga restarting? He probably wrote enough for a 34th volume.
They usually release the volumes a bit before the manga returns. Why would they wait until now when they could have released it after it was published in Jump?

Kimetsu no Yaiba 1-59
I like this a lot. The world is built up pretty well, and the training/time skip at the start was well done. When it comes to the supporting cast Zenitsu can be a little grating but has his moments. Hopefully he develops like Usopp lol. Also has the whole Cavendish thing going on. But Inosuke. Inosuke!!! The combination of the dumb/always all out personality with the goofy boar mask (especially the way the eyes look) is amazing. I find all of their scenes way more funny then I should. I was glad to see that rather than being a burden, Nezuku is very competent when it comes to fights.

Only with the more recent chapters has the scope really expanded and it seems to be hitting its stride since the encounter with the spider family. I'll be interested to see if the sister gets to talk sooner rather than later lol. Also the main villain doesn't do a ton for me yet, but seeing that he has a
human family
makes me think that he will be more intriguing later on with his backstory.

Hopefully Viz will license this down the road.

Of all the series to take off from this batch I would have never expected fucking Boichi's

Also I should probably give Robot x Laserbeam a fair chance. Haven't read any sports manga in a while.

For the record RxL would have been ranked this week if not for the CP. It's also not an indicator of how well the series is doing since HM's first ranked week was a cp and it's dead.

Wrapped up the Latin competition, this manga can be really intense when it wants to but somehow doesn't stop being adorable. I like how the new member has the exact same reaction as Tsuchiya to everything.

It's really weird for a Jump action manga to have 100% of its characters be decent people with good sportsmanship, haha. Even other character driven sports manga like Haikyuu take some things to max seriousness, but everyone here's just having honest fun (including the second years). It's really cool and super cute. Having a lot of fun with this series
 
Haikyu 35-40

I'm really not sure why this series even bothered introducing the female volleyball team if they were just gonna lose instantly. The role of "well at least I got to play" was handeled well enough by the captain's old friend in the brief introduction he got.

Well Zweizer, you were on point with this recommendation. I enjoyed reading this and had some good laughs. Surprisingly low on any smut, but that's okay.

Anyone get more recommendations for mangas that are similar? I don't mind if it's smut, as long as it's enjoyable.

Pretty nice collection. It must be tough carrying all these of you're moving constantly, no?
Exactly. It's awful.
I kept the collection somewhat small until I moved to this place a year ago. I have to move, though, or else I have to pay a ton of fees to stay. Figure I use this as an opportunity to move to my favorite area. I think it could make life 10x better potentially.
 
I love my physical books/manga, but the more I use viz's digital app for reading shonen jump the more I really like the idea of my entire collection being quick and accessible anywhere I go.

wait viz has a digital app. is it like CMX? I used buy the 99 cents issues last year, but I never bought actual volumes so no idea how it works.


also yea the girls volleyball team is overshadowed a lot. It is cool to have the girl side of things, but we know little about them.
