I meant that I'm going in Japan IN two months, not FOR two months :p I'll just stay three weeks. Just going there as a tourist, with my parents.

Damn, Parasyte really took heavy toll on my reading comprehension there. But three weeks is still almost the double of my time there.

Its good to see that some chapters were not focused on the MC, but gave some spotlight to Hiroko.
Goddamn Minoru/Minori, betting his/hers(i don't know kay?) idol life not once, but TWICE. But of course being the MC, he/she managed to pull one off, and just starting another. MC too OP, please nerf!
Now I am just waiting for the time where his identity gets public, and I am sure the author would put it during his peak just for the lulz.

Since I'll be in Japan in two months I think I'll grab a Mob Psycho volume. ONE deserves my money.

That reminds me, do you guys recommend Claymore? Is it good? Or is it "good until certain part" type of manga like Berserk?

I think the beginning and some the middle was alright to somewhat good. I barely remember it, though.

The recent stuff has been such a drag for me, though.

Man, Sidonia no Kishi is pretty much dragged down by the harem crap in it.

So tired of girl rescues too.

wuuuut

As a series about the survival of the human species, it must explore some of the basic tenants of human instincts.

Food: photosynthesis
Sleep: basically still sleep
Sex: photosynthesis (if you know what I mean lol)
Fight or flight: kill gaunas vs run away and hope they don't chase us movement

I think it is an average shounen manga. I got bored and dropped it after ~130 chapters. All the characters are just too flat to interest me. I'm not impressed easily, though, so maybe I'm not the best person to ask.

That's not a problem since I'm the same too. Though I can get easily and overly impressed when a manga does something that completely unexpected and it's considered as excelency of writing in my book, though in reality it shouldn't be special at all.

Maybe I should read Barakamon after my Finals done, but with the anime in sight I'm not sure.

Sure, but the harem crap still sucks. It's boring, there's a whole line of girls whose names you can barely remember and on top of that you can barely remember how they look too, because they all share the same face. All of the girls meet the main guy and magically crush on him even though he's terribly dull too.

The sci-fi stuff is interesting, marred by a really boring cast with generic interactions. 'Photosynthesis' isn't going to hide that.

The shift in the relationships is finally starting to happen with a shift between Take, Mine, and Hiroi, kind of leaning towards wanting a Take Mine outcome, though unfortunately, that means Hiroi would get a bad end. Seems like one will be in tears end of manga anyway unless a fourth character happens to appear in the remaining chapter.

Dude lived with his older clone for a decade plus. If he was interesting then all the uninteresting folk in the world will commit suicide. Besides, in the olden days, males found mates by being strong in a hostile world. I feel like the series draws a nice parallel. After all, humankind are relatively weak and fighting to survive.

Regarding similar faces, wasn't it revealed that the disaster years ago drove populations down to the hundreds. Wouldn't surprise me if all the children are related to each other in some way, and even less how they look slightly similar.

I also kinda like how the Honoka sisters are all clones and hence can understand each other to a certain extent, but are different enough to each have their own individual personalities. Makes for some interesting girl talk

I've gotten the feeling before that we may have similar tastes. I could be wrong, though.

You're Irish? I feel like I knew this before. I love Irish accents. Take me now, Costigan.

I was watching some D. Gray-man anime, and i remembered the Musician OST. It´s genius. I have also read that the manga was cancelled due to the bad health of Hoshino :(. I really hope she gets better. She was struggling with disease for a long time.
