More constructive than wednesdaygaf.
Look at those hips and the waist.

And absolutely looks the part in a proper outfit.
Poor DTL is probably crying in a corner right now.
Look how jaded we've become.

That was very uneventful ending for the manga. I wonder if it was the some for the novel.
It was an ok series. The girls were hot though except for the loli that the MC is stuck with.

Man.
How much porn do you have to wade through to find that?
Thankfully I haven't seen any so far. Google's porn block is useful!
KAWADA Yuuya, previous work was "Kikai-Banashi Hanasaka Ikkyuu".
Not even a little. But I know that I'm jaded for thinking that!

70% of people will hate Soul Catchers no matter whats in it and just make a dismissive, vague comment that it sucked.

A translation for those of us who don't speak dothraki? Otherwise I'm just going to assume the title means "My _____ Can't be this _____!" and write it off completely.
Dammit I KNEW I recognized that style. I could have figured it out argh dang gosh darn gosh.
Is the writer different this time or is it the same guy? It's the difference between 100% cancellation and not.

A beautiful love story about a rapist and his uke

Brilliant.
On an unrelated note, the new Naruto movie is out. You know the one in a bizarro world with Hinata as a delinquent and so on. I have to admit I'm kinda interested, would be my first Naruto movie since like forever.
Same guy.

The third was probably the last one I saw, you know, with the rainbow rasengan or something. Absolutely boring.
It's from the same duo.

What's with the capitalization of the names?
Just a way to distinguish the first name from the last name (last name is located before the first name in Japanese).

Fairy Tail
Okay chapter but it won't have been a full FT chapter without some Lucy fan service .

That was surprising to see Porno Superstar in that.

The art is truly killing me.
I know that the last name comes before the first name in Japanese, but the capitalization was new to me.

Fairy Tail 330
Sting being fired up cause Natsu's words and the power to protect has been definitely his best moment as of late. Hyped for seeing more of him in action.
Kind of torn between the rest of the chapter. I love Fairy Tail...but continously Mashima does his very best to try to get me to hate it at times, why Mashima did he have to somehow have the dragon have the ability to just blow characters clothes off (could have at least used it on a guild that we would have liked to see, like Blue Pegasus cause Hibiki, Ren, Eve-kun)...but of course it had to be a pervy dragon with sights set on, Lucy...why.

Sounds like completely new development in Fairy Tail. I'm glad I dropped it.
I was tempted to say "She's a boy" but I think it works better the other way.
New?

Soul Catchers 1 (raw)
Shouta Kamine (stupid hair kid) can see the state of people's hearts. Originally he thought this ability would allow him to be skillful at human relations; instead, seeing the true feelings of others only brought him pain and disappointment, since he lacked the ability to actually change people. Hibiki Tokisaka (sax kid) is a 'musical genius'. Without knowing it, he has the ability to change hearts through his music.
The story of the pilot:
Because of the character design and a general familiarity with 'tropes', there's no way of viewing this manga without seeing all the derp stuff. In the first half I thought the concept might have done better with subtlety, and serializing in Jump was its misfortune. Towards the end I thought that this is bizarre and hilarious enough that I can accept it for what it is. The characters don't look particularly fabulous, but some of the art on the later pages is pretty good.
First time I've seen Twitter directly mentioned in manga dialogue.
Recommendation level: DTL. First chapter is worth a read; whether or not the manga turns into something better or sinks into hell is a coinflip. There's quite a lot of DRAMA though.

The story of the pilot:
Kamine, who sees Tokisaka's school performance, confronts Tokisaka about his ability to change people's hearts. Startled by Kamine's questions, Tokisaka brings Kamine to see Momoko, his childhood friend. Once a talented vocalist, Momoko is now catatonic after losing her ability to sing and feeling despondent after surgery. After some drama, Kamine and Tokisaka combine their abilities and pull Momoko out of her depression.
The visual representations of hearts as Kamine sees them is fun. The mangaka starts small by showing how a girl's heart is a closed door to another guy's advances, or a heart dressed as a detective when one person is doubting another, and so on. Then things got more tangible: a sea of water to show Momoko's despondence, culminating the bizarrely actiony 'attacks' used by Tokisaka in the last attempt to bring Momoko back to the world.

The art looks better than Soul Catchers because it is better drawn; like, obviously so. The technical gap between them is legit big.
I think it's going to take you a while until you achieve that.

I thought we made it clear that Nagisa is a girl.
No, that's Soul Catchers.

Has there been any shounen ai relationship in Jump.
Well, other than Naruto x Sasuke.

Yep; starting the 20th of this month.
I can actually see a really cheap way to get people here to read Soul Catchers.
Why are you asking this. Are you telling DTL it's okay to post all the pixiv he can find of Luffy and Ace and Ichigo and Aizen and all the Kuroko stuff.

Looking forward to it. We need more horror mangas.
