[Alice in Hell volume 5
aliceinhell58es6q.jpg


Holy shit! No way this ends well. After seeing that Shu is actually
another victim of the trio of dudes, as in his mom was killed in front of him by sniper dude who subsequently took Shu with them
I even start to feel some more pity for him. No wonder the dude is so fucked up. Previous volume showed a part of his past but this adds another layer to it.
Also the info about Alice and her changes. Fucking Eliza
I hope she doesn't die now that I've warmed up to her, though it's pretty unlikely she didn't die.

I am gonna call it now, the conclusion in volume 6 is gonna hurt me bad.

... mad jelly that the us releases are still at vol 3.

You guys weren't kidding. That character relation web. The story is gripping and everything gets better once Team A shows up. Never liked the 1st group.

Haven't been commenting on this in a while, but it's mostly because there's nothing else I want to say. I was so hopeful for this match near the beginning of it. What happened? Oh that's right, nothing. You can just feel Fujimaki stalling and drawing this out as long as he can.

Even so, I still like the series.

Blargh <insert cursing about Italy>, thanks for the reminder that volume 6 is coming out in Japan soon. Here's the cover:

Volume 6 cover looks great.
No, the US releases are at Velveteen & Mandala and we're likely not getting any more Jiro Matsumoto cause that sold poorly. :(

That sucks. Loved Velveteen & Mandala, a shame it sold poorly.

Now would have been a good time to splurge on manga with Viz-sale, but no. Canadian government has to go and tank the loonie. Damn gub'men.

Yeah, I remember some self proclaimed feminist going on a rant about that one page that depicted rape or an attempt, forgot exactly. That seems to have warranted an entire paragraph if it wasn't two in that review (though honestly Tenjho Tenge v1 suffered the same fate).

I also remember getting my copy shrinkwrapped and I think it also had that explicit content "babies exploding in microwaves inside" sticker or whatever Americans love. I guess that might have impacted how widely it was distributed.

So yay American sensibilities, I wonder how well Prison School would have sold in the states :/ Meanwhile Italy got Bradherley no Basha...

Wow, I had no idea this thread even existed. Subscribing.

Nisekoi 114:
Seems so odd to have this Raku X Ruri development come out of nowhere, especially when they've been hinting at Shuu X Ruri for a bit now. I wonder if her popularity has anything to do with it, and the author is scrapping the whole Shuu X Ruri thing now. Then again, he's been included in this arc from the get-go, it has to be for a reason. Wish we would just focus on the key holders for once.
 
well i did get back what i played

yeah plus the food overall i lost i guess\]

Edit: I did have a good time tho, the facility was amazeballs

Maybe the stakes weren't high enough.

You should have bet your life or something.

I seen it in manga, it always works out well. Maybe.

Don't feel like retaking the photo with the extra two volumes I got, maybe I'll just take another of the complete batch when I get the next package...

I learned today that Ohana Holoholo got licensed over here. Cover makes it look sweet, while synopsis makes it sound interesting.
ohanaholoholo66ku2k.jpg


Saya, who works as a translator, lives with her bisexual former girlfriend, Michiru, and Michiru's son, Yuuta. Residing in the same apartment building is an actor called Nico, who drops by for a visit almost everyday, and knows about Michiru's past. Somewhat like family, and somewhat not, their lives interweave full of warm days.

Anyone reading it that might tell me if it's just as interesting as it sounds/look?

I love casinos. Such a sensory overload. I hate gambling (on anything but sports), but i'll often go with friends just to have my mind and body blown. I live within driving distance of about 10 different Casinos as well, so it's always different!

3rd birthday vibes? She's probably crying cause the series got canned, volume 4 will be the last one, which is a real bummer since fucking Sho Fumimura aka Buronson was attached to it and on the cover... wasn't enough.

Once Again 1-7 (END)


Not gonna lie, this hurt more than I was expecting.
Tragic
romance story. Worth reading. Ugh.
This was totally sad, yeah. The guy was a total moron who forgot what's important and what he was working so hard for.

This better not be implying what I think it is. If so, I am super glad I dropped it.

Don't worry, it's at least 70% just overreacting to nothing.

Maybe 71%.

Edit:

Houkago, Kimi to Koi o Shite 7 - A collection of one-shots though just focusing on this chapter here since I've read the others before. It's shoujo. Very shoujo. Perfect girl likes guy, misunderstandings, etc. etc.
