what
no
does this at least mean Naruto is ending soon
Wait
Where did the saucy I know? You're not him! You're Link, not Chestnut!
Most unsatisfying part about the ending was the Isobe transformation. Not sure if it's rushed or Asano couldn't come up with a better way to wrap up his story.

World Embryo 90
And now suddenly there's a harem of potentially world destroying girls.

I've bought the volumes released over here. Pretty art, some funny moments, but kinda... boring, yeah.
Planetes Overall Thoughts
Well, it felt shorter than it needed to be. The romance pacing always felt off although I'm glad that it wasn't a love at first sight marriage. The end speech was nice and the ending felt good. The characters were fine and I enjoyed the times when Hachi had his internal stuff. The fact that they all got their own backstory is nice as well.
I don't think it was superb but it was solid. The Baron was a pretty cool guy, would be his friend.

Girl by the Sea
Finished it just now. I'm slightly confused since it's been awhile from where I had left off.
Things kind of went fast. There were some good parts here and there, but it wasn't consistent.
As for the whole story overall, not my kind of thing, but it was interesting.

If Tanaka's dad was a wolf in sheep's clothing then he has definitely mastered the masquerade. If we didn't know the result of this relationship you'd have a hard time convincing me there was anything manipulative or crafty going on here. Dude's just harmless from the way he acts, really harmless

It's probably that dude who made it in after soma handed in his dish in the last arc.
Yup, same hair/jacket (ch. 59)
Soma 72
Hm. Highlighting that those three are fighting for someone else's sake was interesting. I guess it kinda ties back to what Soma's father said in chapter 1.

Wait, why is everybody commenting it? Oh god damnit someone translated the rest and I didn't notice!
I wouldn't call him a hack, but I didn't exactly like the end of girl by the sea, though it might have to do with what I wanted from the end vs what I got.
All the cool kids are doing it.
Umwelt (Oneshot)
Thought provoking sci-fi oneshot by Daisuke Igarashi. Lots of cool themes touched upon: the nature of humans, humanity's limits versus other animals, our possible future in space. The Umwelt stuff was also fascinating. In terms of the story, Okuda (the doctor) definitely stole the show. Just a really interesting characterization there.
Gintama 495
For some reason, I never like the Yoshiwara arcs in Gintama, outside of the first one.
Strangely enough Yoshiwara seems to be about the only place where Sorachi actually does 'worldbuilding', but that's probably because most of the worldbuilding of Yoshiwara is already built for him.
Also, I'm not exactly sure if Sorachi has gotten better at drawing action or not.

The writer continually remains one of the most enjoyably predictable in the magazine, as the match proved exactly how I consistently stated with Tadokoro having nary a gram of a chance of winning and being crushed, destroyed, and downright annihilated by the awesome might and power of the stunning Kurokiba Ryou. Wouldnt have made sense for two members of the Polaris Dorm to advance or for Alice to go unavenged in the match, additionally Tadokoro has always been the weakest in the series and only made it this far by a fluke of a chance so it would have been OoC for her to triumph.Everything was just against it.
But looking to the future, its finally happening!

Shokugeki no Soma - 72
Wait, wait, if the old geezer realize his fudonshi just stripped before he write down the winner, what'll happen then?
Anyway I've no problem with Tadokoro losing, it was a fair match with awesomeness in the end. The author managed to make a lose feels satisfying.

Did we read the same chapter? Everyone was praising Megumi, including the judges, for how well she did. She was hardly "crushed, destroyed, and downright annihilated by the awesome might and power of the stunning Kurokiba Ryou" as you put it. It looks like spice guy and Erina's assistant are probably going to be going up against each other so that means Takumi would end up against the biker guy, where he would have a 0% chance of victory.

No surprise Tadokoro lost, but she put up a good fight, and it's nice to see she's not fazed by the loss, wanting to try harder.
The director losing his fudoshi will likely come into play later on.
And of course, set-up for the second half. Hopefully learning who the big guy with dreads is.

Why are you guys still trying to argue with DTL. It's pointless.
He sees mangas in a different perspective than you guys. Just enjoy his POV.
Plus he's a pretty cool guy even though I myself rarely agree with most of his views.

It's DTL. 70% chance he makes up his own dialogue that overwrites the words as he reads it
you're cool tho bro. I just don't inhabit your reality unfortunately

i'm just joking around man
That's a pretty incredible choice of words.
^ Quoting this again because I'm still missing a bunch of people and barely anyone reacted to this post.
It would have been a lot more blatant if it was, plus the episode was just barely aired in the middle of where this chapter would've been drawn.
I guess if he read the original material it's possible
Wasn't that episode 3 weeks ago though? I do agree that it would usually be more blatant though.

(i doubt i'll use it more than here and there, either)
2 weeks before the magazine goes to print seems about right to me, for chapters to be finished drawing.

Well, she doesn't look too crushed so that's okay, I guess... Next match up will be interesting.
