So the mind games continue. I enjoyed Kiyoshi and Hana's uhh...interactions in the past so I'm glad this chapter seemed to hint at more to come.

We battle manga now? A new headmaster brought with herself a group of misfits with the only goal of fucking with people, gee. At least Azusa got some much needed character development.

I'll Send Her Home on the Last Train by Amagakure Gido


A sequel to her adorable From Aiu Station on the Hiragana Line oneshot, this one takes place as the two go out on a date shopping together. Cue interspersed flashbacks and embarrassing moments. Honestly, I wasn't really feeling this one until the ending, but I think it made up for the rest.

The worst part of Otomen is how it shoehorns in all the "lol so girly and it's bad" characters for some big "moral" moment of being a girly guy is k. Like, it's kind of insulting to it's own message after a point.
Yeah, it seems really phoned in after a point. I just try not to take it seriously at all.

Pretty entertaining. The worst character has to be the shouta, god he is so annoying. It's rather disappointing that the romance between the two leads doesn't really get developed at all. It's mostly pushed aside for more girly guys that I don't care about. I can't believe the most intimate thing they've done is a hug. Come on now, there's slow and there's slow.

Saw it coming a mile away, but it was still sad. What an idiot he was.

About that...
Such a waste of a good pairing :(

GTO
Noboru X Anko OTP, Onizuka can stay with his porn stash.
lol I was just joking but Onizuka x porn stash really happened, poor Azusa. Didn't really feel the final arc, crazy kid was just delusional. Like Onizuka said, so bad things happened in your past, tough shit, get over yourself, same for the wannabe mastermind, who was never really in control of the situation. The Miyabi stuff was finally revealed and boy was that a letdown. I don't necessary hate her more or something now but man talk about being petty.
Overall a really fun ride although I vastly prefer the first over the second half as the latter pretty much felt like a rehash only with more at stake. Onizuka was obviously the MVP but his excessively nativity did get on my nerves sometime, Kikuchi and Urumi were also great. I will check out the related series some other time.

Well, I liked the idea of the manga so the fact that it just kind keeps bringing it up for shallow reasons was rather annoying :(

Then, well, the pacing of the pairing was kind of infuriating on top of it :(

Edit: Kikuchi and Ai were the pairing I wanted to see have extra stuff happen with. A shame that a lot of the pairing stuff felt rather unfinished.

Gun x clover actually got update,

well i guess im gonna read it again

Gun x Clover - 14

wait he doesn't actually die right?
 
An Arabian Parody Book

I was hoping we would get some based on their ED outfits so this was perfect for that. Rin could have had more involvement but then why would he even have that if only had given it to Haru while there. Most intense and best one yet for making Mako likeable, Haru in that position never gets old.

yeah, it's definitely disappointing. You don't usually see heroes and heroines of this archetype in manga that often. :\

Well, there's some perspective on Ryo's feelings for him for a change. I wish the author didn't cop out and actually gave us a fight between her and Asuka. I still don't feel like we got enough of her feelings though.

you have to give Onizuka props though since he made Noburu find his balls

that's always been the point of most arcs tbh but i liked that the main villain was completely out of his fucking mind (and had a reason that kinda made you feel bad at first).

I really liked that final moment where Onizuka basically
rises again to do his job
and while you can say "sure it would happen because he's the MC" he just fucking owned it in a way compared to the other times i've seen the trope play out

The author's really laying it on thick with the racism but whatever, time for BASEBALL!!!

Magi 215

You'd think Aladdin would be far less naive after all the shit he's been through.

Whoa! I need this manga in my life! Thanks wonzo! :)

H magazine makes it even better.

You are behind bro. Its in the 20s now. Crazy crap is going down.

I also need to reread GTO. I forgot nearly everything. ;_;

Wish another anime series would start up because the original anime did a crappy job of the series.
 
For all I know, maybe it has. I'm not exactly completely up-to-date with it.

...huh, maybe I should do that catching up.



I'm sensing a trend.

Well you gotta be caught up in the latest in super interesting darkness.

I have to be here to keep an eye on all of you, or you go crazy: talking about cannibalism, your favorite smut, Nisekoi, ranking Nisekoi girls, and other gross things.

it's a week long affair
