Man, I remember
sort of dreading the "training" arc when it came up and then I realized Baby Steps was going to nail it and make it feel right. Such a good arc

Man, I remember
I'm going to go out on a limb and say the brother is a huge manga nerd and won't do anything after finding out who is in the group. He'll be all intimidating up until that point though.

Baby Steps 98
Finally working on his serve, and developing extremely quickly as usual.
I like that he's clearly really good at tennis and improving all the time, bit-by-bit (Baby Steps :lol) and he's probably going to reach pro no problem, but he;s not infallible. He doesn't just come out of nowhere and win everything. He loses and he has flaws that he's working to overcome, while still having a tonne of untapped talent.
It's a great way to handle a story about talent that makes it seem so much more grounded, but still awesome. Really well written story.
also it has Natsu so it's automatically a classic amirite

Here's the first chapter of GTO, Paradise Lost on Young Magazine's official site.
Wish I could read it, have always liked Fujisawa's art though.

Baby Steps 100
100 chapters in and a new challenger arrives. Pity she has no hope cos she's not Natsu.
also, I started this last night and I'm like half way to caught up with the current translations. If only I didn't have college tomorrow...

Translated or in the raws?
This is the meanest tease.
Haha, that would be a hilarious twist.

Tora Kiss - A School Odyssey 21
"give a kiss for when I win"
*does it the very next page*
I like a harem protagonist who gives what his harem wants.

This made me go read the chapter.
Tora Kiss 21 - I'll be honest, I forget all this <Monument> and <Data> stuff. This actually sounds like it's trying to accelerate into end-game?
Nah, it'll be the trigger of something bigger.

The plot dialogue is pretty terrible.
The PLOT dialogue is worth reading.
Or memories or whatever. It also features probably the most proactive harem protagonist yet.

Kono Oto Tomare! 15
Finally we're getting some development for Takezou. You'd think this would happen earlier, since he's kind of, y'know, the main character. I guess the reason he tries so hard and acts so "serious" is that he just doesn't want to get left behind again. He probably never got over failing to get into his first choice school, and his asshole little brother isn't helping at all. At least Chika suspects something's up, so hopefully he'll be able to do something.
Meanwhile, we've got this girl:
Also, like I mentioned before, the classroom scene between her and Chika was just adorable. And was it just me, or were their classmates watching them too? Maybe it'll be a case of everyone can see it but the two themselves. But maybe that's just wishful thinking.
They're made for each other, I swear.

Meanwhile, we've got this girl:
I can't believe we've got a legitimate fangirl for Houtsuki. Well, I guess it was coming eventually, seeing as she's so cool. It's neat that the girl is acting as an impetus to the plot and isn't just being played off as a gag. I guess the high-level schools aren't going to give Houtsuki up to some no-named, seemingly talentless club without a fight. I'm just glad to see her fighting to stay. She's come a long way from the loner she used to be.
Also, like I mentioned before, the classroom scene between her and Chika was just adorable. And was it just me, or were their classmates watching them too? Maybe it'll be a case of everyone can see it but the two themselves. But maybe that's just wishful thinking.
Basically just trying to compete with Arata.

As long as it was Keima actively choosing somebody/everybody, I'm ok with it.
Hajime no Ippo 316-320
Damn Miyata, Ippo is the one usually getting all beat up and bloodied, but your matches are the ones creating damn puddles of it. He can't soak the damage in the way Ippo can, his Dad's career was ended early, and he's hardheaded in using his father's counter-based style to eventually become world champion, and he's hellbent on fighting in Ippo's weight class even if his natural weight would be much higher, and thus would fight with exponentially more strength as lightweight or junior lightweight.
He's just begging for early retirement
I can't quite figure out whether Morikawa's taking a jab at the Japanese, manga/anime or just plain Takamura in this page. Still chuckled though.

I'm liking these fast releases. But, Hilde
Well this is the end to vol. 5 and I believe there's only 1 more volume after this. This seems like the climax, but I guess it'll stretch out for a little longer. The Duke and his reinforcements arriving will probably contribute to that.
I second this.

No shit, you should have shot her.
Everyone with a mask is out trying to kill you and you think "Nah, she can't reach me so I'll just leave her alone"?
I don't understand how you managed to fuck this up again after last time.
