Anime adaptation by JC Staff please so it ends up being total shit and I won't have to end up watching it.

They butched it up by playing on motorcycles. What more do you want?

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I really hope Food Smut gets an anime. It would be the most hilarious thing ever trying to explain it to people - "No, the food gives her orgasms."

216 PPI is more than sufficient for manga to be perfectly readable I find.

I like how Ichigo's hollow was just bumming around town.
There's like...no reason to think this.

You'll dig Sakuranbo Syndrome and Nijidama (though they're unfinished, I think), as it's the author's prior works. Nijidama is my favorite overall, I think.
Oh my. I don't know how he's gonna continue it though. The JPs on that page were thinking that too, lol.
Not always, as I said something text heavy like Bakuman or Molester Man is only readable if you hold the tablet sideways (at least for me) or are willing to constantly zoom in and out.
I did use my 7" tablet for a year and was pretty satisfied with it but once I started using 10", I could not go back.
To be fair, he looked a lot like a curly-headed Ginjo. Didn't Ginjo tell Ichigo he knew some secret about Isshin, or was he all talk?

Koe no Katachi - first 30 pages so far reminds me of the first 15 minutes of the Kotoura-san anime

This has to be the most amount of attention Bleach has gotten in any week in a long time
I've read Sakuranbo Syndrome some time back and it didn't really take off for me. I did enjoy OrexYome a lot, though. Had no idea Kono S existed til I saw your post, so I'm glad you mentioned it.
I'll check out Nijidama, but it looks dead translation wise.
Only 9/56 chapters TL'd.Antiwhippy

I don't really have any problems with those mangas, but it depends entirely on what your tolerances are I guess.
Funny thing about the last part is that it was the complete opposite for me.
Yeah, unless she restarts it from the beginning again I don't really see where you would go after that. Maybe flashbacks or high-school drama but I'm sure the hearing aids would've kicked in by then so. ヽ( ´¬`)ノ
Okay, well, there might be a small reason to think this, you're right. But I don't think he looked like him.
For some reason, I feel like it's because Ginjo is related to the Shiba clan in some way. That's why he knows about Isshin. It's no coincidence that the Shiba clan was shown to have taken in Ginjou and crew right before Ichigo went to the Royal Palace.
Omamorishimasu, Dokomademo vol 1 End
1. befriend rich lonely boy
2. become his bodyguard
3. kiss him
4. acquire money and fame
That pretty much sums up the romance plotline of this manga. The manga juggled too many subplots and felt unfocused. It could probably have been told better if some of the fat was trimmed or if it got a second volume. For one thing, Tetsuhito had a lot of depth and should have played a bigger role instead of just being the lazy rich character. Junko's art was good.

My brother has one, and while he doesn't read manga, he says it's too small for american comics.
I use an iPad Mini and its perfect for manga.

The same way most one shots get serialized, I imagine. The story will be different in a way that allows the author to tell a longer story.

Fairy Tail v 23
Have a huge stack of all these manga over the months thats been accumulating so I need to get through them all, though starting what what I got earlier this month I think. Anyway Edolas final moments is still my favorite fight in the whole series, Natsu just never backing down at all even when their magic is depleting, Marvell and Redfox both aiding in this pure unadulturated Dragon Slayer v Dragon fight was just plain enjoyable from each of the multie chapters it lasted. I cant wait for the day to experience this same excitement again once Kodansha brings the Sting Natsu fight of the current arc out here. Bonuses, Mashima picked out good fanart to showcase there and profiles on many of the Exceed was a bit intense.

And got some manga today. I guess its kind of a double dip on Evangelion, have the special edition volumes already, but now the ultra good omnibus.

I have an iPad Mini and it's perfect for manga. I actually prefer the smaller screen, yet it isn't too small to where you can't read the words.

A second volume or some extras would have been good too have, ah and the other bodyguard should have had a chapter or something too, he was quite a character.

I guess I should pick up Nijidama again sometime. It's a fantastic 7 volume manga. <3 Asami
Probably like Grimace says, restart it in a way that allows the writer to make a longer version. I'd hope for a different approach, more about telling a lot of singular stories instead of just one.

I'm happy Sakuranbo got picked up again. The yearlong wait was too much.
The Earl and the Fairy vol 1
This manga is really bad with its exposition dumps. It keeps throwing dialogues heavy pages explaining about the origins of fairies and the backstory for Edgar, but they just don't flow that well and more often than not very confusing. Had to some of the pages twice in order to understand just what they explained, plus it didn't help that the font used for the stories is barely readable.
The lore of the universe, especially the fairies was intriguing but we never got any good explanations of how the whole system works. And for a manga about fairies, the first volume didn't show any fairies outside of the talking cat the MC owns. And that cat did jackshit. Anyway, I will keep reading to see what's the mystery behind Edgar, but the first volume wasn't particularly good and I don't have high hopes that the manga will improve.

Guess theres goes all chances for an english languard print volume license or release. Why does JPN let such good series fall to the side, Barrage, ST&RS, Hungry Joker, Takamagahara. So glad World Trigger, Haikyuu!!, and Shokugeki no Soma, and Psi Kusuo are performing well.

One Shots often have very little to do with the serialized work other than the characters and basic premise, really.

There's no waifu wars. People just slobber all over Yui even though she kind of sucks.

This is a declaration of war.
You are on the wrong side.
History will remember you like Hitler.
So many bombs!
Cross Manage is pretty dead now. Viz sure knows how to pick them huh? With World Trigger being duuuuuull, I don't see that lasting either.
So, who wants to bet Kiruko-san will start going into cheap fanservice in hopes of boosting the ratings?
No, no it won't.
You worship a false goddess.
Tenri/Diana is the true waifu.

I thought viz had chose cross manage in an attempt to diversify the line up, though I wonder if they recognized its lack of appeal and then insisted on trying to get nisekoi to have some none action series.

Jormungand volume 3
The past encounter between Jonah and koko's brother was both sad and cool, though I feel somewhat like an ass for saying it was cool given some of the stuff that happens. It's just that I fully support the way Jonah went about taking his revenge.
Koko is seriously batshit insane. It was obvious from the first volume, but the more it goes on the more obvious it becomes and the more I like her. It was great when she asked Jonah to take a bath with her and just as great were both the way he refused and the reactions of the guys in the room at both Koko's request and Jonah's refusal.
With how the volume ends, the fight between Valmet and that Chinese girl has me interested about Valmet's past in which she lost that eye.
Oh, that Scarecrow dude is so damn annoying.

Too bad Jormungand had an atrocious ending, wanted my 23 minutes back after watching that.
Is that about the anime, or does the manga suffer from a bad end too?
I loved the anime (and I think it was well liked by a few people in the anime thread), but only read a couple volumes of the manga. It was a nice read though.

So? A lot of people thought she was Ryuuken's sister. I'm glad to be wrong because I like surprises. I also predicted that Isshin was a Shiba and that was true. So yeah.
