So many tiny moments throughtout the year in this short chapter, laughed at his blushing and concern over the what the femCashier would say with two guys buying a box of condoms. Umbrella one was sweet.

I love the pace of this manga. It's not uber fast, but not super slow either. It's really intense a lot of the time but also has these calm moments in the middle of the cooking storm for character development etc.

Lots of awesome characters and a really good sense of humour.

And it's pretty adorable too. Good reaction faces/doodles.

O/A, up to 28 - Guess since there's just the one volume left that it'll resolve with her somehow reclaiming her idol fame. Volume 5 and 6 had a lot more random joke chapters :(
 
Naruto 667
Oh hey. It's Kabuto. And he still has his weird snake umbilical cord/phallus thing. So now he's healing Sasuke because he knows who he is now. Thanks Itachi for the infinite Talk-no-Jutsu that was Izanami. The fight with Madara is getting really wierd. Madara notices that Guy is releasing green mist and is cautious about the Eighth Gate. Which has barely been featured anywhere. Kind of like how the Byakugan were first hyped as better than the Sharigan before being rendered obsolete by the whole hidden eye techniques.

Bleach 571
Whoo. Yachiru has Triple Cut. Gwenael Lee doesn't stand a chance. Though, I truly expect Kenpachi to show up sooner or later.

One Piece 740
The plan's ruined. Usopp runs away. Franky is keeping the Marines away from the factory. Zoro is fighting Pica (Wall Man). Robin gets turned into a toy. And Luffy waits by the throne room until all the toys get changed back. Seems things are reaching the climax.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
...there's a Sternritter named "Candice Catnipp?"

Total porn star name.
 
Stay Gold - Koi no Lesson A to Z 8 [end]

Final story in this collection proved to be a rather innovative and unique experience. It potentially suggests that more stories featuring the beach setting should be pursued. Specifically the character designs were lovely as were they in the other stories featured. The slippery bath scene with the new use for the water showerhead to help excite us all while reading was rather wonderful as it kept making him stay involved in the fun. Loved the scene immensely and would definitely revisit it. Also putting the drama after such a scene was a nice way to wrap up in a story driven emotion filled love story of goodness. Enjoyed Stay Gold - Koi no Lesson A to Z.
 
Persona 3 - Kill Living Beings (doujin)
This development would've made Aigis about 50x more interesting.

The more of this guy's delicious brand of insanity I'm exposed to, the more I struggle to accept the fact that I didn't enjoy the first thing I read of his (Voynich Hotel). Really need to go back and fix that.

S-SUCH LIES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE IN A SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT.
Joking aside for one excruciatingly painful moment, I did actually like Ishimaru! It's hard to deny the dude's overzealous charm.
 
isn't Keima literally just fixing things so what already happened in the present won't get changed? or something like that. Is he seriously going to have to re-open the gaps in the hearts of all the Goddess girls? Gee can't wait for a year of that.

At least Chihiro has returned so it's a little less awful, I guess.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
It's possible Kubo just started throwing Japanese Scrabble* tiles onto the floor to name characters.

I do not know if Japanese Scrabble actually exists.

I mean at times, I like Celeste too. There's just one glaring plot related thing that makes it hard to overlook. She's not the worst character in the game at least.

That's pretty much what it sounds like. At first I thought it was going to be here, I'll lay down some things so when I conquest them in the future, it would make sense. Now, it's more like I'm going to drive that insecurity into you so I can seduce you in the future.

I think The Voynich Hotel is probably Dowman at his most restrained.

If you like his more "out there" stuff (like Hydrogen Bomb War for example) that might be why you didn't enjoy Voynich Hotel as much.

NaNa-fucking-Na Najahkoop

I told you, its just a nickname for Nathan J. Cooper. Candice Catnipp is actually funny though.

Edit: She totally looks like a porn star too. And they're Sternritter; e.g. a German porn star.

I don't understand why he would even need to open gaps in the first place. It shouldn't take some outside intervention of an 8-year old to make you afraid of speaking or that you'll never do your best or whatever.

The author should have just continued the Chihiro story line in the present because we still haven't gotten an explanation as to what went on at that concert. I thought we were supposed to assume that only she saw their wings or something like that. Even if she had lost her normalness and turned out be like a mega-goddess or whatever it would be better than this shit.

Its inane because it doesn't answer or change anything about the original stories. It isn't like there was an open question of "but why is Ayumi so sad!?"

Ningen Deshita 5 - ;____________;

So that's the drama angle it's going to add: He's going to forget the days as a hamster. Wonder if it'll just go full-on cliche and say that his "soul" remembers.

Edit: She totally looks like a porn star too. And they're Sternritter; e.g. a German porn star.

I'm okay with this.

It's pretty much stretching the series for as long as it can go.

I mean you are basically right, he's written himself into a corner from the original premise and it's hard for any way to go back to it. It really shouldn't even that hard to write random conquests featuring the girl of the volume, but having the goddess and being a central part of the plot now, means they have to get focused and doing a conquest with that would make it a completely terrible harem (even more than now).

Not even sure where he could take this besides I guess choosing a girl which never happens in a harem series.

I think it's weird that Keima is opening the gaps when they're little kids. I thought the gaps didn't even open until they were older. Like Kanon's opens because she wants to be a normal school girl but at the same time doesn't want to quit being an idol. Also if Tenri knew all this was going to happen from the start why did she never say anything?
