Eyeshield 21 initially introduces a childhood friend who seems like she'd be the main love interest, then instead she ends up with Himura the qb and Sena ends up with the cheerleader girl whos introduced in like chapter 80 something.

crush do not listen to this fool, this actually never happened and it's all fan fiction. The couples actually never formed and there are absolutely no hints on who chose who as a partner.

One Piece if you count Nami or Robin as the female leads I'd say 0% chance Luffy ends up with either of them (most likely he'll chi chi his way with Hancock)

And everyone forgets about Erina's worship of Soma's down, when she inevitably learns the truth and realizes the man she worships is basically the dude that made/taught soma everything he knows she's gonna melt like butter in a frying pan.

Also lord help the internet if Naruto ends up with Sakura at the end instead of Hinata

DTL on suicide watch if that happens lol.

Luffy will probably end up with Avida as a joke by Oda. Or maybe he will find a woman like Roger did with Rouge.

Jitsu wa Watashi wa 17

Still one of the best new series. And there are already 53 chapters released in Japanese so I don't have the usual cancellation anxiety (that will come again with the next series by Yasuhiro Kanō) .

I know that anger but its truth and we can't deny it. Himura is gonna drop it deep in her end zone

Soul Eater Not! 1-11

It's like if K-On was wandering through the DWMA with occasional cameos from the cast and crew of something else entirely. Thursday after school we go be cute girls together, then afterwards we get in fights and turn into weapons and shit.
 
You can't prove that in any way.

Deep in the endzone

And also in the end when they all split up she stays with Himura instead of going with Sena, thats all the evidence I need this is shonen after all. Next you're gonna say Yusuke didn't end up with childhood friend and that it was just a crush because it wasn't specifically stated

That means nothing, she just decided to stay on the same team. It's not a life changing decision.

Yusuke totally end up with childhood friend because it was explicit.

Hiruma x mamori is quite possibly the best possible outcome in the manga.

What outcome? lol

dramatis's OP recommendations is exactly the type of weekly and novelty series that I'm tired of. I'm not even keeping up with OP anymore :|
The posts compiled are exactly not the type of weekly and novelty series that you're so tired of. I essentially gather almost everything I see that qualifies as an impression of a first volume or a first chapter, a recommendation, or a review. There's probably some I didn't catch because I was skimming the thread too quickly, but by all means if there is something that should appeal to you it can be found there. One of the points of me collecting the posts in the first place was to perhaps have someone who read that one thing manage to reach a new reader. There's variety captured from as many different manga as people read here, from Mr. DTL's scandalous stuff to wonzo's crazy reads to [insert somebody maybe]'s artsy fartsy highbrow manga.

One of the other points is that there are people who share common lewd interests that may not be following the thread that closely, so they can just peer into the list and see what A Huge Battleship is reading and think, "It's probably porn" and "Reading". That's the reason why I label each link with a poster name.

Not all of them are recommendations. You can see from the label I started adding to each one, (imp), (rec), (rev), which are quite self-explanatory. The ones I do not label, that is usually the content of the post (one-liners) so you can judge for yourself which of the three it is.

I understand that since I'm lumping pretty much everything together, sifting through the imp/rec/rev list itself may be a problem. However, the reason I keep to the format is because I think that manga can be less of a "I'll read what you recommend" thing and more of a "It might be interesting to try something new" thing. If you think it's too hard and too much work to skim through the list and find something that catches your eye, the option of flawfuls's and cosmicblizzard's threads are there, and moreover there is always the option of asking the thread itself. The ever reliable Google is also an option. You can bump the threads you asked about! You are welcome to make your own manga recommendation thread! Go ahead and make a thread in OT asking for 'not weekly or novelty' manga recommendations.

What you are saying, as it sounds to me, is "I'm too lazy to look for myself, can somebody else make a detailed list of manga that fit the vague description of 'not weekly or novelty' for me? I put the effort to make a post asking for the list, rather than using the same amount of effort to ask for recommendations. The list in the OP doesn't fulfill my requirements, sorry about that". I made a list. If the list is useless, say so; I will stop compiling. You are free to use the "hunt and peck" method of NeoGAF search before I started making the list (the third reason why I started compiling posts).

Himouto! Umaru-chan 40
Surely that stuff has to be of crappy quality if it's from a dollar store... Anyway, cute chapter which further shows that the big bro is always looking out for Umaru.
 
I didn't enjoy this too much, despite the high level of lewd. I've been finding her other work Five to be more enjoyable.

I guess I'll see as I get further along. It definitely does feel average.

She'd probably have the same speech prepared if the theme was heating up TV dinners.

How dare you misunderstand the glory known the microwave.

Please don't stop cause someone who couldn't decide on asking for recommendations past saying two words found your complications useless.

Horimiya 31 - Shindo ruining the reveal to Miyamura's mom ;__; Oh well, still need to actually have them meet. I wonder if she'll be similar to Hori. I mean, we have cliches to fill.

Also, Miyamura wearing a cat:

Edit: The "BENTO ARE GLORIOUS" speech from Erina reminds me of the "BUTTER ROLL-SAMA" speech from Yakitate.

So his grinding to protect himself from danger ironically may be why he's in danger now... Well, at least Sun-Il is trying to help him now.

Ore ga Doutei wo Sutetara Shinu Ken ni Tsuite 15 - I decided to use it's real name. Anyway, hm. Maybe ... maybe he's just dumb and forgot who actually killed him? Dude. Duuuuude. Honestly, things could just go along so much easier if he just went with the Yoshino route here and now. But now he's getting confessed to and this is just not going to end well for anyone. I'm starting to lose sight of the way things are going to end happily.

...well, unless he fucks up and the girl still dies and he finds a way back to the past again to go for True End route. Hm. I'd be okay with that. I think.

Himouto! Umaru-chan 40 - Normal Umaru is more adorable. This is relaxing.

Oh yeah, I remember that. And I think who said it in Yakitate was more interesting than Erina too.

Not even an oujosama nor something who makes a rousing speech about common food first.

Yeah fuck that. The effort you put in to compiling the recommendations list is extremely appreciated and I'm not saying that just because some of my picks have been included a few times. I think it's one of the most helpful features of these OTs and it's a shame that it's under-utilized because there's usually such a good variety of treasures to sift through while a lot of people are simply content with their favorite shounen manga. People have their preferences sure, but trying out something new every now and then isn't a bad thing!

These threads played a large part in pointing me into the direction of new series that I would've never thought to have looked into previously.

Beyond that, the list is entirely everything but the normal shounen stuff. Honestly, it sounds like the guy complaining didn't even look at the post in question.

Well saying not weekly or novelty kinda kills off a bunch of stuff anyway.

What is stuff that's monthly and super mainstream?

Welp.
The wraparound jacket band on the 25th volume of the Tamiki Wakaki's The World God Only Knows manga is announcing on Tuesday that the series will end in the next volume.
I wonder if there's some kind of mistake here from some side, because it doesn't feel like it's about to end really soon...
