Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
On the plus (minus?) side, there's no Naruto this week so we only have to endure people bitching about whether Bleach is worse than One Piece and not a three way.

Is no one safe?!
More artists should be like the Freezing and Onihime Vs artists, making their own doujinshi of their works.

But they still flip it though apparently (Freezing Artist does Onihime VS, Onihime VS artist does Freezing) based on the description there.
I stopped when the main character was drugged and kidnapped.
So less than 10 pages in.

Off topic but, I hope no one here in mangaGAF is affected by the terrifying Boston bombing.
Condolences to all suffering due to it. What a news story to hear this morning, damn.
Stay safe to all of you folks, wherever you are in the world.

You barely scratched the surface, you didn't even get to the
girl who hoards the main character's urine

It's not like you guys are reading Hot House, so what's the big deal?
I like to assume that the 504 errors earlier were from every single member of GAF trying to post their condolences and give and "I'm fine!" update at the same time.
...And a few of them were making puns too.
Tomodachi no Hanashi vol 1 End?
This manga ponders the question of what degree will you go to stop your best friend from getting a boyfriend and thus continue your secret yuri love? The earlier parts of the manga gave some strong vibes of Ore Monogatari. The setup changed a little so instead of the beautiful guy who gets all the girls and the ugly friend, we have the beautiful girl who gets all the guys, and her.. beautiful friend who can't seem to get any boyfriend. The comparison pretty much stops here since both manga go to completely different routes, but it was funny seeing how dynamic between the two main characters in both manga mimicked each other pretty closely even to the point of the beautiful MC not dating anyone else due to all the potential boyfriends/girlfriends being assholes towards their best friend.
One thing in particular I liked was the different narrative point of view for each chapter. I think I have only come accross one other shoujo manga that did this trick and it was short too (2 volumes). I wish more romance shoujo will play up the different POV technique since it allows for far more interesting scenarios. I'm also a fan of excessive inner dialogues and this manga had plenty of them which is always fun to read, but then when you see the character's real problems you just realize how stupid they are. I just could never care about Moe protectiveness of Eiko and honestly it did get irritating seeing how hard she tried to ruin Eiko's date with Narugami.
So going by the translators post it appears that the only thing missing is an extra chapter from the volume. Do you know if it's important, Lain? Am I missing any relevant plot details? Will Tsuchida find true love or is he doomed to be forever alone especially now that Narugami got Eiko and by default Moe.

Because it's vile filth. It opens with the main character be3ing drugged and kidnapped.
FOR LAUGHS.

I did, and it was boring.
Seriously, is there no way I can shame into not reading that garbage?

Was referring to those who were shocked by it.
I will say it was boring at times, although the disturbance of it was sort of a drive to see how depraved it got. But once
piss girl left
Well, if there starts to be a lack of story, i'll probably drop it.
Such impressive narrative.

I'm talking about Hot House. Domina no Do wasn't always boring, though it definitely was at points.

Confusions.
I was referring more to how Hot House was worse in regards to the disturbing content, not much on how boring it was.

Guys, vile filth is just vile filth. It isn't secretly good or deep. The fact that Hot House exists doesn't make lesser vile filth and less vile and useless.
It's not common that we agree...

Bleach shipping is an order of magnitude more vile than anything in Hot House.
I used to get you two confused all the time when I first started posting here.
