Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai vol 6
So looking at the current relationships progress of the cast we got
Midori x Akira
Mamirin x Takigawa
Shino x Seven
Mako x Bunta
Ken - forever alone
And since there are only 2 volumes left, I really don't think there will be any changes to this. Oh poor Ken, falling for the main character when she already has a guy she likes was bound to turn out horribly for you. And I don't even think the manga is setting him up to end up with anyone else. Looks like the dude will only have his music lol
Some developments in this volume made me shake my head in disappointment. I think this is the only time while reading the manga that the shoujo melodrama annoyed me. Ken disappearing all the sudden to go to France to look for Masashi just feels like an afterthought to extend the manga. I mean the Masashi-Maki problem needs to be resolved, but this feels like a lame reason to make Akira not get back with Midori. Then there is the whole Shino thing getting upset over Mamirin. The writing just wasn't on par with the rest of the manga and felt extra cheesy during the few scenes involving Shino. Then of course we have Ken getting in an accident in France. I guess we needed more fake drama or maybe this is just a way to make Masashi acting like a naive child and just go back home. Or maybe Midori will go to get Akira and we will get a France arc.
It's a weaker volume than the previous ones with the melodrama ramped up in a not so good way. But still, it's an enjoyable read and I'm expecting Yazawa to wrap it up in a satisfying way.

This is pretty fun and what not, each chapter makes me want to actually give into the bd ads at the chapter pages and check it out.

And, here's the end of this charming series.
Not a bad last chapter mostly cause at least the speed it was going at was slowed down and did provide more cute romance between the two.
This definitely had a good concept. Pairing up people based off SCIENCE was interesting, even if the author had to do incest twice just cause I guess otherwise it would be a normal romance series. But, the couples were all cute and I definitely did like seeing the love blossom between them. I'll definitely look forward to more works by this guy now.
Also:
Gamers > Novelist > Pastry > Incest

It's the same people but just with lackluster typesetting and editing. Still better than most of the earlier chapters.

Dunno the schedule, but it'll be the next chapter. According to translations of his twitter anyway.

Bokura no Negai 4
Wait a month for another chapter expecting a new development and relationship progress and then, nothing
Flower shop from a previous one shot having an appearance here did make me smile though.
Yume Yume Shinjuu 7 (end)
Biased for liking it for the genre, but then my own personal feelings towards just sad or opened endings keeps me from truly truly liking it, not to mention the story telling style was odd and it just felt like so much was just left open or not explained (at times confusing). Just sad and heartbreaking and people eating.
Though I did like the art, guess Ill check out the artists Kurokos Basketball doujins.

HxH
Yea HxH can be pretty brutal.
The scene where the Spiders were massacring the mafia was one of my favorite "is this really a shounen?" moments

Spear dude actually seems badass.
I actually started reading the book ages ago and read exactly what amounted to the first episode but my friends started talking about watching the show together., so I stopped. They only actually started watching yesterday, though.
Such a great picture. I can't wait for the next Chapter, my favorite character will finally enter the stage. Only problem is I'll be in Japan at the time, so I most likely will not be surfing the net around the 16th to read it straight away.

So short and yet so good. It's truly fantastic how well Murata can draw those action scenes. It really makes me wish that he'd draw a chapter of the big three.

I might reread opm after this alleged 100 page chapter comes out, I loved the art but the comedy/plot fell flat on me. Saitama's faces were awesome but couldn't keep me reading
I kind of thought that was a joke. The longest chapter so far is like almost 50 pages. no way he hits 100!

For me it was the comedic timing at the beginning and how anti-shonen the formula was. Now it's just an enjoyable read every now and then.
What irks me the most about it, should it be true, ofc, is the long wait between this and the next chapter.
He said it was a personal challenge, he can do it.
I mean, the guy did a 60 pages chapter with colors, he can do 100 B&W pages.

We're talking about Murata. I don't think he's the guy who jokes about things like that.

Are you saying you lack faith in our artistic manga god? Get out. Murata only speaks the word of truth.

That is simply ridiculous. I almost wish you didn't put it in quotes. :lol We need to clone him.
I also never noticed the fight between Cell and Meryem.

edit: Never mind
Everytime someone posts those spreads, Im always reminded of the first time I saw them and how in awe I was of the flawless combination of characters and how beautiful the art is.
Then I remember, as a teen, that I promised myself that as soon as I had money, I'd buy poster size versions and put them up. Im still waiting to fulfill that promise : ((

Sun-Ken Rock 122 raw
I usually don't "read" raws, because I don't understand a thing, but I suppose it's okay with Sun-Ken Rock. It's not exactly very wordy.
Anyway, I'm glad this arc is finally over. I loved Yumin's scene at the end and it's a bit of a shame that Kim couldn't make it, but I guess that was predictable. At least it seems like he got some closure.
On a different note, I have to say that reading raws really made me once again appreciate the work scanlation groups do. Such a huge difference.

Kamakura Diary vol.1 (aka Umimachi Diary in Japanese)
This was good. Really, really good.
The art isn't outstanding, as expected from a josei manga, but who cares when the writing is this good!
Four sisters with unique personalities, their own problems, their own life... No doubt anyone can relate to them.
No clichés, no boring moments. It's just the life in this small town featuring a cast of diverse, interesting and human characters...
Having four main characters is great because you can have a whole new story within the main story when the author decides to focus on one of them.
The younger sister is still in middle-school, so you'll have teen drama where her siblings are not involved at all etc...
Definitely one of the most interesting slice of life mangas I've read so far.

yesssss.
Definitely curious as to how it will be handled though.
Prequel? Ghost Kurosawa? Can't be a different Kurosawa can it?
Yeah I've seen screengrabs of some real brutal stuff. Looks like the anime is not as censored as I thought it would be. I think I'll read the Chimera Ant arc though.
I know in Bleach a lot of the limb dismemberment was given lame censors - instead of getting an arm chopped off a character would just get a deep wound.
Haha this is what I thought as well.

Bleach was weird, they could show Ichigo blasted with a hole completely through him, but they couldnt show an armless Ishida...
Its either
he didn't die or someone else will inherit the Kurosawa name. I don't think a prequel would make sense cause we know he will still be a coward at the end of it.

The Misfortune of Kyon & Koizumi 1- 16 (end)
Getting through my huge stack of unread manga and finished this one on today. Really good moments all throughout, favorite one was this and above and alot of the other ones. Some of the contributing artists character designs barely resembled Kyon and Koizumi though so that was disappointing. Oh well was fun and good.
