Terra formars v4 24-30
Asimov's team was pretty awesome (like the pyramids), though I think the whole speculation offered by Michelle seemed compelling thought if not explored more. It did seem everyone reached the same conclusion which did seem hinted at by seens which werent really detailed about, the Roachs stealing from the corpses and I guess learning from them, though would that really explain them having powerful legs, or extra parts to facilitate swimming? Though it does explain the weapons at least. Who made the mistake of putting extra bugs in there. Im just overall glad that Akari, Marcos, and Alex survived (inertia ftw), please make it through all fourty days, its the only thing I want and would make me so glad.

Kaiji Part 3 - vol 2
Classic Kaiji. Make up an entire plan about spying on Muraoka and work on on the signals and getting all ready and then the entire plan goes to hell within the first minute when Muraoka orders Miyoshi to go fetch him a drink. Gotta love these types of unexpected fuck ups.
I was able to kinda follow the hands and the strategy that Kaiji was going for. I'm not sure why the wind tiles were a big deal. I know one of them was the dora indicator, but the other ones could have been a safe discard. So it's not as confusing as I anticipated it would be, but I still feel like I can't see the big picture. Also I'm still constantly flipping back to the tiles page cause I still haven't memorized the manzu tiles.

Suika - Yoshitomi Akihito
Sweet short story about a girl named Rin and her friend and crush Sac-chan who has an undying love for watermelons and a belief that if you manage to eat an entire one, your wish will come true. Rin decides to put that belief to the test in hopes of making her friend realize that her feelings for her go beyond that of friendship. A sweet and sticky ending.

Oh god that ending, just when things were finally about to turn around. And all the reveals holy crap in any other manga this would have been 3 chapters to give us so much information

And it's a superior manga to Vagabond!
Just my personal opinion, don't throw those tomatoes at me!

VS is my favorite Seinen manga. It's just brilliant. That goes especially for Canute's development. I have not read Vagabond yet.
You should read Watermelon Sacchan, it's a short little extra for this story.

I really wish that there´s a manga/video game/anything really (don´t say Thor please) that tackles Nordic mythology. This mythology is really under used. Indian Mythology as well.
Pretty sure someone did a comic version of Beowolf. There's also an animated movie. Plus Thor, but apparently you don't care for the god of lighting's adventures. His current book is really good though.

I enjoyed the Thor movie, but i am not exited about the universe that Marvel built. Granted i know little about the Marvel Thor universe from animated shows/movies, but i am not too fond of it.
I did not play the game.
Magi
Caught up on the latest chapters of Magi. Lots of infodump. Really not feeling the manga as much as I used to before. Something about the narrative feels lazier and less focused now. Almost like the author is trying to rush things into position so the final arc can begin. The nature of the world seems to be in line with what people expected. Icalledit.gif etc. But while I should really be much more excited about stuff finally being revealed all I can actually think of is how boring it's been for the last bunch of chapters, and how Mor was totally ignored, and how terrible the anime adaptation turned out to be. Enthusiasm at an all time low. :/
Seems like the manga will probably be ending within 50 chapters anyway, so there'll probably be another season of the anime to wrap things up (badly). Meh.

Accept it, Bleach is the only manga you read and love. He knows it better than you do.
Not different enough. I need some science fiction or horror or slice of life.Vinland Saga has a different setting
Can you please stop being so wrong. I hate child characters and Ishi it fine at the end. She isn't.
It's the only manga worth reading and loving. Why? The Heart.

I think I am going to start seven seed soon because for all his senility Godbeards recommendations tends to be on point as I loved both Sanctuary and Jojo.

GB is younger than I am. I recommend Food Smut. :trollface:

Fun stuff. Centers around an all-night food stall where the 'master' makes whatever his customers want him to make. Each chapter focuses on a different food item and a customer, and in turn, their stories. The way they bond and grieve over various japanese foodstuffs makes for some pleasant reading.
It's not raining in here, it's just salt.

Man what is up with the eyes in this? The author should spend less time drawing ridiculous reflections in her eyes.

What makes you say that? I never heard about this!
I didn't feel any of the bummer you're getting but then, I wasn't expecting it to wrap up that fast either. If I was expecting it to be rushed into an ending in 50 chapters I'd lose steam too, but you gotta bring me proof!
Also yeah it's pretty sad that there's no anime adaption, it could've been really cool

Maybe that's why big one so sad.
But I can still blame her for ruining the atmosphere.

This is where we're always going to have to agree to disagree I guess. I agree he's kinda fine now but before the sea god arc he is basically the archetypal token useless team buttmonkey. Which always annoyed me in adventure mangas.
Other than one pretty creepy fan service segment schierke's relationship is more of a innocent first crush from a sheltered girl than anything remotely reaching an adult definition of love.
Also she can fry a whole army of not-orcs. How is that not awesome.

That's just duckroll's speculation. I can't see it ending that fast when there is still so much to cover.

Well never agree on that, but that's okay. I just didn't see Ishi as that kid, probably because his development wasn't so slow and he didn't get as much screen time as Schierke.
My main problem with her is that the whole mood and atmosphere in Berserk changed after she showed up. Ad then all this teaming up with Guts to control the demon ... Ugh. He might as well team up with Puck.

I´m on the Schierke is annoying bandwagon. She also creeps me out with her Guts fantasies. I find her more annoying than the elf.

You don't mean Makie x Manji do you? Hahaha.
I really like Rin x Manji, so I hope the author wrap that one up before the end.
...Unlike that bloody Nurarihyon no Mago.

Just feels that way. Magi is a rather fast paced manga, and they've basically revealed the end game here. It feels like they've explored all the countries in the world, shown all the factions, and now with the ultimate objective of the enemy revealed, I can't see it lasting much longer honestly. It could go for another 100 chapters at most I guess, but it really doesn't feel like there's that much more.

I don't think she's more annoying than Puck, but yes, definitely annoying.

I kinda agree about the atmosphere change, but then again her introductory arc had women being brutally raped and dying in an explosion of baby trolls.
Also honestly post eclipse puck and Ishi already destroyed some of that atmosphere for me. In the world of berserk they should be monster chum by now. Also I can't even remember why guts took him into the party.
The sea god arc had good character developement for Ishi, but let's review what he did when they were stranded on the island. Go off on his own while the others are trying to find help for "adventures", then proceed to lose the super valuable magic sword. It's that kind of stuff that I just find annoying.

That´s because of her creepy fantasies honestly. It makes me cringe really hard.
