Hasn't the LN been on an extended hiatus? I don't think it's been properly wrapped up.
[EDIT] - Yep, since '08. Though MU lists it as "Complete". It's adaptations ended the way they did because they ran out of material, it seems.

That's great. We really need more horror manga. I just hope the art style is going to fit, because that shot above doesn't look like it can build up a frightening atmosphere.
Tits?
I really don't know whether I should read this or not (well, given the option)... I still plan on playing the game sometime, and I still somehow managed to stay almost completely blind to it.
The Yume Nikki manga adaptation will be drawn by Hitoshi Tomizawa, author of Alien 9 and Milk Closet. Jesus, that's the most perfect fit possible.

The MC develops the ability to see more than just the people's heart.

You would think that seeing tits would be easier than the heart.
It's like 3 layers less to go through.

Nothing so crass. Something slightly more subtle.

He can bring it.
Since Going Merry was apparently sentient, is there any rule34 pics about it. I mean Luffy sure likes sitting on his head.
You gotta give more details. I need to know how bad this manga will get.

What have you done.
You are a dangerous being, even more dangerous than DTL.

Gokudera and his juudaime, they even held hands.

I think somehow he can do worse than that.
I don't know if we're missing anything though.
Nothing happened, stupid power on a ridiculously strong opponent that's supposed to be taken seriously.
I don't know if I ever read a worse chapter but this one is for the archive.

Darwin's Game 3
The monetary prize is pretty high for this game and no wonder Banda-kun was after it...but the huge cost to pay for losing is too much to endure. Quite intense, I think.
Metro police may need some insider help to really get down to this, unless, one of the officers is also going to be a player.

I thought going merry and thousand sunny were male.
Boats are usually considered as female.
All the better.

The Merry repaired itself, without any help. Do you really think that a woman in the OP universe would be able to do such a thing? What's next? Franky is a woman, too?
She did a shit job at it though.
depends on the size of the mast.

I didn't say he was a shipwright.
I approve of this female Franky design.

At least the character would be bearable as a woman.
Speaking of bears:
And I done with fantastic fan art for today (AP forums scared me too much).

The we borrow the power of tomorrow, and Erza´s fight against earth guy guy were much worse than this. Besides the way that they will defeat dragons will be the worst of all.

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: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.
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.
Sounds like a pretty fantastic opening chapter with good teamwork friendship drama. Hope I get to read it (please surprise us on monday viz...) as it seems like Mutou Black and Smoky BB may have a difficult time following and presenting as nearly a good opening as this.
You mean the fact that he drew genderswapped versions of the strawhats himself, thus making them legit.
I officially don't like people who don't like Toriko
for me too the big three now are Toriko/Naruto/OP
I bought the first volume of Toriko and dropped the series like a cheap whore.
That too.
But once Ivankov revealed he can change genders, the genderswap artwork EXPLODED.
It's okay. I like Toriko. It's not the greatest but it's a lot of fun. Certainly more enjoyable than most of the crap that's in Jump now.
I don't like you then!
The PSP game OPs directed by mai waifu Rie Matsumoto are the best thing about Toriko:

You've got it backwards, Ivankov got introduced -> fans requested that Oda draw the genderswapped strawhats -> he obliged -> the fanarts exploded because the fans now had official designs to work with and the strawhats are by far the most popular characters anyway.
Those boobs are too small to be an OP character.
