Rereading TWGOK and man there is a lot of filler.
Why is swimming girl and shoji girl even there.
Ramen girl was kinda fun though.

Mysterious Girlfriend X 84-86
Well, that's the closest thing to progress there's been in a long while. Though it's still pretty dull, and Suwano ruling herself out (if she was ever really in) has killed off one thing that could've made it entertaining again.
Sex Manga isn't weird, Sex Manga is just brilliant
It's almost like a toned down Dowman Sayman story. I can imagine him writing the same story and making it weeeeeeeeeeeeird

So, catching up to where I left off in twgok...
The entire point of the time travel arc is to do the conquests again, but in loli form?
Ugggggggggggggggh.

If you actually read it you'll see its different. Its actually a nice way to tackle the time paradox.
It just went on way to long, and effectively killed the series.

I'm reading it through anyway to catch up seeing that it's ending, but I don't even know why there's a time paradox in the first place.
Dat face-plant, tho.

Really wishing Kuroko wasn't so slow paced.
Actually had more fun reading it when I was 20 chapters behind.

Well at least our hero has one fan now. I guess he'll power up through the support of his believers now!

So glad that series is being handled, it was one of the best of the new group for that magazine.
Hajime no Ippo 292-315
Ippo's first title defense, against a former champion who moved up from a lower weight class, Sanada.
I never honestly liked this fight for some reason, especially after the really great Mashiba vs Kimura match. It's probably because its presentation is kind of gimmicky, I guess. The 2 Hien techniques that let Sanada do an almost instantaneous follow-up on a punch whether it's a hit, block or miss, yeah sure. Expert heart rate and breath management between rounds is also fine.
The whole "palpitation" thing, Sanada apparently being able to accurately inflict damage and gauge it thanks to his med school training is kinda weird. Morikawa's trying to portray Sanada as this "doctor boxer" type opponent and it just feel so clumsy and contrived. A boxer might know of a few organs that can be hit for extra effect such as the diaphragm and perhaps gauge damage through opponents immediate reactions to a punch, but they're treated as this weird superpower that Sanada possesses. He also predicts how many seconds it takes to heal from specific attacks. Sometimes he gets it wrong, and the manga even acknowledges its occasional unreliability, but it feels hokey regardless.
I wonder if I'll feel the same about the eventual Shimabukuro match because he's in constant "fisherman fisherman fisherman" mode, but from what the anime showed, there's still more to him than his bread&butter career

guys ishoujo is trash
the only reason I didn't bring it up ages ago was because it was so trash that I forgot about it
Nisekoi
But not as trash as this, what. This girl needed someone at least 3 years younger than her to defend her from bullies her age? Pathetic. I was completely fine with her until she started dropping hints of liking Raku. Seriously, come on, 3 years is a yawning gulf of difference to kids until around high school...
At least she'll shake things up, judging by Marika's reaction (the only good thing of this chapter)
