I still have to read the last three chapters, I'm waiting until it ends (only 2 more) to read it all.
I learned to not 'read' Magical Girl Kosaki-chan before sleeping in the future. I ended up dreaming I was playing a bad action game adaptation of it for Vita, including dungeons painted with Kozaki spritesheets.
It wasn't just Incursio either, everyone seemed able to not freeze right away, including Akane and Leone.
I'm all up for the author to make the fanbase suffer, that's what Esdeath would had wanted.
If you want to read something for some comedy and amusing reaction faces I'd say it's a good choice. If you want a good romance series then look elsewhere.

It's fine individual volume wise, I guess? The recent volumes of One Piece still cross the 3m mark eventually.
I think that was just the anime boom period when the Marineford arc was in its peak point, so all the previous volumes of OP got a boost.
About the only interesting thing in that chapter is the last two pages.
You're right, the big jump in sales occured thanks to the Marineford arc (and probably Strong World as well). For comparison:
One Piece volume sales by year:
- 2008 : 5 956 540
- 2009: 14 721 241
- 2010: 32 343 809
- 2011: 37 996 373
- 2012: 23 464 866
- 2013: 18 151 599
- 2014: 11 885 957
Strong World was screened in December 2009, and the Marineford arc lasted from 2009 to 2010 in the manga and from 2010 to 2011 in the anime.
Time to kill Law and get a new boost in sales.

So people just buy not the entire manga but their favorite arcs? I didn't think of that.
I wonder if Dragon Ball had experienced a boost in sales when Goku got killed the first time.
I think it's more likely that a bunch of new readers got introduced to the series during that period. The sales of the newly released volumes back then weren't much higher than usual (2-3 million). In fact, the first volume of One Piece sold half a million in 2011.
Nah, those crazy sale numbers in 2010-2011 came to be cause thanks to Strong Works/Marineford OP became a national phenomenon in Japan and everyone were rushing out to buy all the old volumes in order to catch up. After that phase was over the overall sales became pretty much"normal" again while the sale numbers for individual volumes have been declining only a little bit.
Fukushuu Kyoushitsu/Revenge Classroom 1
Girl who was horribly bullied at school decides to get revenge on all her classmates after being pushed into traffic.
Better than I thought it be (had extremely low expectations), although it will still probably turn out to be generic horrorish trash.

Japan Tengu Party vol 4
End. Though the tengu party is destroyed, the still lingering subplots doesn't make me feel as if the climax was really reached.
I'm firing my lazzorz!

Will fake Shinobu die soon now that Mr. Z left? Will real Shinobu return to her bf? Will the brother reunite with any of them? the uncle left him with the doll leaving him behind again! And the encounter with Shinobu and the Master was too brief.
Apart that the whole weird tengu-human-animal thing came out of left field, almost a Deus Ex Machina. Same as Mr. Z leaving them conveniently just at the end.

Japan Tengu Party is mostly about existentialism more than anything else, and for me the author really managed to deliver it beautifully. Anything beyond that is kinda irrelevant and unnecessary to be finished because the main question is already asked and answered.

Meh.
You know, I've never quite gotten why Mine seems to be so hated. Is it just because she stands in the way of the Esdeath/Tatsumi ending that was never going to happen anyway?

I'm still suprised at Tokyo Ghoul making it in the top 5. I mean 20th Century Boys made it in the top 5 in 2008 and it's been about 6 years since any other Seinen manga made it in the top 5. This is really great for Seinen. And also seeing OnePunch Man is nice.
It's been a while since I last came here.
Half & Half One-shot version
This title was serialized after this one shot was published in 2008, but I'm still debating if I'm going to read it or not, seeing how this was made by ManGAF's favorite mangaka Seo Kouji. There's and even earlier version of this, published in 1996, and seemingly the first work published from Seo, but I couldn't find that version.
Anyway, short and bittersweet is how I'm going to define this title. Two persons who don't know each other, an artist and a college student, die in the same accident, and they both are granted one more week to live. The catch is that they need to live together, since they will die if they separate from one another and they share everything that happens to them, be it pain or their feelings, so they will know if one of them is lying, for example. At the end of the week after sharing their feelings due to the circumstances they realize that they like one another, but in the end the girl decides to sacrifice herself so that the guy can live his dream of becoming an artist. It is revealed that the girl was dying anyway and that the day that they died she had fled from the hospital to be able to live as a normal girl for the rest of the six-month period that she had to live and she was happy to have managed to live as a normal girl in love with somebody and with him for that week.
All in all, I enjoyed it, but I'm afraid to read the serialization. After all, we all know how Seo's stories tend to be (and holy shit, ANOTHER serialization from him. This is the, what, fourth? concurrent serialization he has)

It's because she's a terrible character.

No, i don´t care about shipping. It is just she rubs me the wrong way. I find her very annoying.
That too.
That's a understatement
I don't see it. She's never done anything that stood out particularly negatively in my eyes. Kind of a jerk early on, but in this series that's kind of nothing given the shit Esdeath has pulled with minimal in story or fan-based repercussion.
I guess I'm looking for something more concrete than "she's a terrible character" because that's just another way of saying you don't like her and there are usually reasons for that.

Tokyo Ghoul Re 8
Wow.... All of them have joined Aogiri Tree. I honestly think Tokyo Ghoul Re has surpassed its predecessor by a lot. The writing, the hints, the character development, its all there. Not only that, Haise recognizes that he is not the true personality. I'm assuming he wanted to run away from his harsh past after the whole war between the CCG and ghouls. The only thing I don't understand is why Kaneki agreed to losing his memories and forming a new personality? Not only that, I don't know why everyone joined Aogiri Tree! I'm assuming once Haise see's the woman who gave him the ghoul organs, Kaneki will resurface again. This story is just getting better and better! AquaWateria, I need your input on this too ghoul brother!!! I think you're the only person here who is as passionate about the series as I am.

Here's My Impression Of Chapter 8
Fuck why are you lying Kaneki.
My heart damnit, there is no sense of happiness for this guy 😩
Damn Kaneki brought back his old habit of touching his chin. Which was mentioned by Hide in Tokyo Ghoul when he was talking to Touka, that when Kaneki touches his chin he's lying. Fuck the poor fool is never happy wherever he goes.
And holy shit Arima's and Kaneki's relationship completely relates to "A Crossbreed" by Kafka (http://www.thecry.com/existentialism/kafka/crossbreed.html Heres a short of it). This is really deep.
Finally that cliffhanger with Ayato, which means Hinami might show up. Yeah things aren't gonna go well.
