Wow, Stealth Symphony is going places, I'm really intrested in where it's going.

Too bad it's probably going to be canceled thus reducing WSJ into a rag of shit.

Tonari no Seki-kun

Started from the beginning but haven't come across much from the anime, so I guess the anime skipped a lot or just did original stuff? Oh well, it's more Seki-kun for me.

Hm, nothing screams must get.

The anime jumped around in the latter episodes. Don't think they did anything original though.

Knights of Sidonia Bonus Chapter

Well, this slots into chapter 15 rather neatly.
Also, Sasaki's a member of the immortal ship's committee? That explains a lot.
 
Stealth Symphony 16

That was a pretty insane brutal and dark chapter. Loved the reveal just due to how it seemed fairly logical as well as how it finally explains some of what his powers due, but not all of it (like how did it know it was those people anyway?), in event mindblown how it sent the entire arson back to them.

Dragon Jig ftw.

I'm becoming a plane to America in a day or so, so I'll be posting less probably in the next ~month, but oh well (remember I'm still on twitter for non-manga stuff!). In any case, I guess I'm sorta done with picking at my wishlist for a while. I'll continue catching up though.
I still haven't touched the things I really wanted to when I started this, like Baby Steps/Silver Spoon/Brynhildr/Bride's Story/Aria/etc etc, but such is the curse of arbitrarily ordered wishlists.

As a finisher, here's a summary of sorts (with a ranking! whoa!)

10. Amari Mawari

It has no business being as cute as it is with that kind of setup, but it happened and it's pretty dang gosh cute. The chapters are so light that it works. Also I suspect everyone in this manga are 5 years younger than they say they are.

9. Itoshi no Karin

I haven't read much of it yet, but it seems like a fun shy romance. And there's something strangely endearing about a guy who swims in bushes all day stalking people.

8. Ane Log

I don't know why this was so funny to me considering how limited it is, but man, it got me really hard sometimes. I just really like the concept, I guess. Every time she gets going, I'm already there.

7. Riko & Haru & The Irukawa Hot Springs

More countryside is always welcome, haha. I really liked the atmosphere and how easy it is for people to often just randomly manifest in a hot spring for no reason.

6. Stretch

Sometimes I get to hear clicks in my body in really disturbing places but this is really fun. Both the stretches and what's around them.

5. Petit-Tan / Wakabayashi Toshiya's 4-koma Collection

A tie!
Petit-Tan: It's way less lewd than given credit for, and it's just fun jokes with a touch of atmosphere. I really like this kind of thing so this scratched a good itch.
Wakebayashi: The sequel chapters are amazing. Some are significantly more aww than humor but that's the good part.

4. Hajiotsu



3. Nekogurui Minako-san

I laughed way too much. I said this before but I never thought I'd see a manga where every single panel is a punchline (some have multiple). It's relentless!

2. Himouto! Umaru-chan

This is adorable and hilarious. I would be saying vastly different things if I was in the brother's place, but honestly, you know he's partly at fault there.

1. Flying Witch

It's got just about my favorite representation of witchcraft that I've seen in manga, it's in the countryside with amazing atmosphere, and it gives me an insane Yotsuba& feeling. Anyone who likes Yotsuba should give this a try, you'll like this, and it'll help make up for Yotsuba's release pace. Could be one of my favorite manga, if it isn't already.

----------------

Honorable mentions (aka: the rest (aka: the things I like enough to keep reading and/or the things I just haven't read enough of to put up there (aka: almost everything else is rated 10 on MU))
Aho Girl
Sachiusu
Senakagurashi
Hirameki Hatsume-chan
Shinozaki-san Ki o Ota Shika ni!
Majo to Houki to Kurobuchi Megane
Ore ga Ojou-sama Gakkou ni "Shomin Sample" Toshite Rachirareta Ken (<- wait what is this nonsense doing here)
 
World Trigger 64

A Yuma and Mr. Viza fight is what I wished for and the writer delivered. The various traps like anchor and chains was incredible for this entire combo from Yuma to knock and blow him back. I cant wait this to be animated sometime. It will be great in motion and with sound.

I wish he didnt pick this week to skip a chapter, it was getting so good. I also wanted a key question answered, just what is aftokrator's goal and rationale.

That was neat. Asano mentioning Kengo Hanazawa as a rival was cool to see. As was their discussion of what they want to draw vs what will sell.

Editor: Anyway, what do you do when you encounter negative comments during your vanity searches, Shinzo?

Shinzo: I don’t encounter any. It’s actually troubling, somehow. Asano gets some doozies though.

Asano: Yeah, they tell me to go die.

Asano found Haly's posts confirmed!

welp.

Seriously they have been progressing slowly while showing other people who are slowly moving as well plus iirc other girls taking a liking to the MC, etc

If I recall, they start dating in like ... Chapter 80/81? So that's around the end of Volume 14.

Unless something happened to separate them after that, I guess. I think that's around when I stopped reading because A) Confession, hooray! and B) OH GOD WHY ARE ALL THESE DEVELOPMENTS SO DUMB.

no they are still together but iirc i think those other girls appear to test the relationship (which is usually Yuu being somewhat jealous/annoyed LOL).

Stretch 9

I actually looked up wake-up stretches years ago (forgot why), so I knew a lot of these, but man they feel amazing. They missed a good one though, bending the legs, holding knees with your hands and drawing 8's with your knees, that was a great one too for knee pain.

You really love lists, don't you?

I have yet to read half of the stuff on there. Thanks for this.
No problem, you liked a couple of them so you might like the rest, they're all going for the same light tone. I don't even usually rank anything, but I felt like I had an opinion this once.

phew, now that panda's gone I'll start using his avatar again.

Wandering Emanon 10

Ah, so I was right about who was who. It's cool how it all connects back to the oneshot.

Itoshi no Karin (caught up)

I feel lightheaded. Like literally my head is floaty right now. I was not ready for 3 chapters of this kind of status quo. I need some water.

Any more of this and I might die. This means I
like
this manga so much I'm risking death to read it.
