Mother Sarah vol 3-5
these colour pages are so good
I suspected there will be a shift in the story structure after Sarah found her first child, but it doesn't look like that will be the case. I do however wish for a change in the villains they are meeting, something more than assholes army generals

Anybody else still reading Prison School? It's the most consistently funny manga since GTO.

Missed this earlier, but I'm glad you enjoyed it! I agree, the supernatural elements are what push this manga above and beyond. But yeah, it's obvious that Rin is the one he's been waiting for for 1000 years, otherwise why would she react like she has? I think the heaven or hell thing depends entirely on what she's been keeping to herself tho.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Its pretty funny when DTL tries to rationalize how every romance part of every manga is wrong and out of place other than his own crack pairings.
At least, I'm really hoping this to be the case. I quite like her character far more than whateverhernameis. I guess we're just really hoping that it's trying too hard to mislead since things are so obvious.
Guess it also sets up some massive amounts of potential drama.
He's the best at warfare.

So Berserk might finally continue, huh. Guess it's time to catch up on it. Last I checked, I was in the 150's.
Dude has a car accident with his woman. Woman loses limbs but goes through rehab with him supporting her and now has a pretty good life, they are still together and fuck like mad.
The black of the spoiler tag is there to represent all the black bars present in the story.

Too much adorableness.

Sounds like the spiritual sequel to the wheelchair one. Will read when translated.

Whateverhernameis has a freaky face. I think it's her mouth, it's huge. Besides that, whenever she shows up, something just screams "insincere" in her body language (props to Sakuishi for being able to illustrate that so subtly unlike the majority of other manga artists).
That we pause and think "hey, this might not be all there is to it, it can't be that obvious" says a lot about our faith in the story.
Whateverhernameis definitely felt suspicious, but I can't really put my finger on exactly why. Then again, her being automatically relegated to hell girl status doesn't help. I wouldn't be surprised if she is genuine but just not the right fit for Fushimi.
Edit: ^ now that you mention it, it must be her face/expressions.
you will meet true despair and suffering when you catch up

I'll get around to it someday.
All this is doing it making sure I'll never catch up to Ookiku Furikabutte.

Haha, that's exactly it. Every time she appears, it's always with this nagging sense of "So ... what does she want from him? What's the angle?" She has that typical "salesman" look to her eyes/smile. I think some of it is just the expectation too. Like, it's sort of the build-up of that character type where you expect him to be led on. I was honestly surprised there wasn't a "Oh, this is my boyfriend" line dropped on some of the early outings.
That said, I wouldn't necessarily be surprised if she ends up being "heaven" but that he'd prefer "hell." Like, dealing with whatever is with Rin is worth it in the end compared to his current idea of a dream girl. Or, worse, the heaven/hell involves himself. The disease in his family has me a little worried about that route.
whatever, bird bro pls save us
So very glad people are reading this. Harold is really writing an opus that showcases his talent and hardwork in more ways than one.
I could see heaven or hell playing out with either girl. I think the safe assumption is that Rin would be heaven. It could also be a double bluff and Rin is the hell option. My gut feelings is that the message at the end is that you are willing to put yourself through figurative hell of suffering for the one you love.
The most interesting but of the manga for me is Fushimi dealing with the fear of succumbing to the same disease that struck his mother and sister. On the other hand I don't know what to make of the supernatural bits. I hope they don't become a focus because a mangaka coping with a neuromuscular disease sounds way more interesting.

I had this horrible dream, where Sasuke got the Rinnegan.
That nightmare scene where he's struggling to draw with the disease was one of my favorite parts. You could feel his fear.
Oh yeah definitely up there. I had a little bit of a cry the chapter his sister moves back into the family home. In fact I went back just now to look at the pages and I got teary eyed.

So I haven't read Fairy Tail for a long long time.
Did I miss anything important aside from an extended naked Erza torture scene?

Hot blooded action manga with kabuki themes, featuring a hero who... cross-dresses to gain power.
I'm liking it!

While FT does borderline get dark I don't think they can match wolf guy with the gang rape and other shit.

Didn't know this was a manga first. Catching up on it. Toriko is still in the backburner lol.
Fantastic manga. It's a shame the scans are so far behind.

Yeah, it seems like a new group (who are terrible at typesetting) is picking it up though.
Yeah the typesetting is pretty bad but I'm just glad it's getting scanned again.

Will need to replace with a new series.

He is the ever typical artist guy, it's almost a parody. With tendency to be lonely and depressed, with a strong need to express his art but suffering because he never will be good enough, adoring his art subjects but conflicted because he can't catch the super magical divine essence of them in paper, etc. So yeah, he is kind of a idiot.
About the cute girl, for him she is a kind of a sunflower, he is also obsessed with them, but in the end they are just art subjects.

Wait, so I guess the first chapter I read was a one shot, and this is not a kabuki themed action manga about transforming kabuki super powers, but an actual slice of life story about kabuki actors competing by performing kabuki plays?
EVEN BETTER.
