Hm, think I'll skip on it then, lots of other suggestions to look at anyway.
Hm, I believe I read Aoi Hana, I'll look at some of his other works.
Rebel Leader
THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
Again not sure if doujin or realNaruto
Nearly a perfect ending. Sasuke finally getting his Naru after so many years of wanting. Those pages of his feelings in words and seeing the effects that Naruto has had on him for years. Perhaps thats why he lost, he just didnt want to end Naruto after and had made him go the distance to prove just how much he wanted him back too.
Cant wait to read vizs. They dont make embarrassing typos.

I'm gonna miss this series. Really enjoyed it. This mangaka will be back with a vengeance though.
I could see them cancelling Sporting Salt before Yokaemono though. I don't understand how this got serialized. I don't think even Comic Xenon would....
God reading sporting salt almost put me to sleep every time. Shit sucks. How did they think this was a good idea?
Naruto

time to get orochimaru to grow their arms back. now i really wouldnt mind if naruto continued cause the mangaka actually put effort into making me feel this time around. all the other chapters were just a mess. he clearly pointed out both naruto's and sasuke's intent clearly and dramatically.
does it matter?

Angry Grimace
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Is Bleach even supposed to make any goddamn sense anymore?
Did you try drinking Bleach while reading it?

Shit doesn't even try to make sense. You can criticize Naruto for any number of things (e.g. a 3 year war arc where the characters get like 8 power-ups a piece over 2 in-universe days; Kishi's attempt to depict a real friendship between 2 men coming off blatantly homoerotic rather than just real friendship; Madara just getting shanked out of nowhere and having no story resolution, ad nauseum), but I never stopped actually knowing what the plot was. I legit don't have a fucking clue what is supposed to be happening in Bleach, who any of these fucking characters are or why they are there, or why this is happening.
To be fair isn't it true that most manga series have a problem with that?
I feel like that's part of the reason why most sports manga haven't become more popular.
Tokyo Ghoul Vol 2 and 3
I'm sorry, but am I the only one finding it hard to sympathize with the Ghouls? They actively eat and murder innocent humans. I get the mother/daughter thing but otherwise I'm so disenchanted with the idea that "Ghouls are people too" in this manga it hurts. The setting is interesting as is the dynamic and struggle of the world in Tokyo Ghoul. The character development is solid thus-far. But the constant shoving down the throat that it's ok to eat and murder people because "they can't help it," fuck you Sui Ishida.
Also wat @ that afterlife scene at the end. I thought this series was supposed to be like a modern, somewhat realistic take on Ghoul mythology? Now they throw that out of the way by introducing a comedic afterlife scene which was amusing but kind of makes this more of the realm of complete modern fantasy. I'm not complaining, mind you, it just caught me off guard.
The art still sucks as well, kind of reminds me of Attack on Titan's art. Proportions get all fucked up when the manga-ka tries to do action scenes and movement. There's a lot of stuff that is supposed to look cool like the Ghoul powers but look awful because of the art.

I'm glad it's finally ending, but the the arm thing happened. So much cheese. F

Ask Beam.
Perhaps, but it's taken up to 11 in Naruto.
Kishi has somehow (over the course of the entire manga) managed to craft this intricate romance between Naruto and Sasuke, surpassing nearly every other romantic pair in terms of complexity and development. It's fucking hilarious because it's 200% unintentional.
Food for thought
You're misunderstanding the author's intentions when he wrote this. He wants readers to understand that no matter what it is, its not what you are, but who you are. There are ghouls who try to live peacefully and acquire human meat through non-violent means, such as getting humans that committed suicide so they won't have to kill anyone. Even though the blind fear from humans is warranted since ghouls try to blind in society AND kill them while other ghouls just try to blend in. The perspectives are butchered throughout the beginning of the manga but the mangaka gets better. Also, the necessity to eat human meat brings a strong dynamic that's relevant with humans, people need to eat to live and if you don't you die, this holds as an unshakable truth for both ghouls and humans.
But most ghouls do not obtain human meat peacefully. Honestly I'm more sympathetic to the mission of eradicating all of them than the struggle of the Ghouls itself. Obviously there's middle grounds but in the long term I say kill all of them. They're dangerous.
Also humans don't have to eat meat and live, which makes me question the premise of Ghouls who one can presume is just as much a living being as humans can ONLY eat humans. Especially taking evolutionary values in account, you think if Ghouls have been living intelligently alongside humans for so long that they would become omnivores like we are.
Bleach stopped making any sense years ago.
Killing Bites 1-7
I had no idea honey badgers were so interesting.
If you come across one it won't kill you, it'll just eat your balls and leave you to your fate. No joke, little fuckers are mean.
The bold is a definitive statement that cannot be proven. I'm pretty confident there is a good percentage of ghouls that decide to live life peacefully. However, than the question arises, would you be just as sympathetic to the mission of eradicating all ghouls if you were to become one? The story is laid out so you can vicariously live it through Kaneki's eyes, its certainly difficult and unrelenting but if you want to live, you have to do so through means that allow you to survive, whether it be by violently or non-violently getting human meat. Plus, I didn't explain myself correctly, what I meant by humans eating is that they need sustenance to survive, sadly ghouls don't have many options (as of what's been explained in the manga).
Lastly, put your tinfoil hats on, I believe the ghouls were created, not brought about through evolution. If that was the case, all you would need are humans who have strong cannibalistic tendencies if it were to diminish populations, ghouls would have the same level of intelligence as humans (if they did descend from humans) and be able to combat them normally. My premise for all of this is... Well I don't want to spoil it but once you reach the end of the manga, some light will be shed on how integrated/powerful ghouls are in society.
Edit:
The only thing I can't put my finger on is why eat humans? I'm assuming the mangaka has done their research on certain blood factors that only reside in humans or something and that can grant immortality, pretty cliche but not impossible. It'll be a roller coaster for this thread once we reach that point in a 2-3 years time.

It's true obviously if I were put in Kaneki's position I'd be somewhat sympathetic, but since I'm but a mere human if I were in this setting I would be completely ok with getting rid of Ghouls.
I love the setting however cause it's reminiscent to stuff like Vampire: The Masquerade or Blade in which there's a secret society of human-eating (well, Vampires kill them by sucking their blood, but regardless...) beings. I'm really interested in seeing how that develops in the series.

Typical show of skill but since its between these 2 i'm alright with it.
Seems like a friendship in the making here.

might as well change these "nudges" to "pushes" instead lol
nice to see that the MC seems to be one of the few who can strike up some discussion with her (although she still has some ways to go).
some friendly rivalry can do that i guess.

The worst part about Bleach is that Kubo handled a bunch of the loose ends in such random shitty ways, like "Kenpachi nerfed himself" and "Zangetsu was secretly a Quincy!"

Hopefully viz does 2. RKD-EK9 (illustrated by Obata Takeshi (illustrator of Hikaru no Go, Death Note, Bakuman)) = going to release in December Issue of Jump SQ.
Oh, I'm going to have to keep an eye on this one.
I wonder what Death Note's/Bakuman's author been up to lately.
