Like 0.1% of Fate/stay night is sex, but all you hear is mollusk-chat. Just sayin' the same applies to VNs, except its probably not 0.1% of VN's that are porn games.

Oh, yeah, in that case, you're right, although most VNs' sex scenes aren't as, uh, memorable as Fate's (though Saya no Uta's is pretty memorable as well, for all the wrong reasons).

It's actually the opposite, I can't even remember more than a handful outside the ones in FSN

Kakegurui 3

That was a pretty long explanation to what amounts to calling someone a piece of shit at the end there.
I do wonder what Yumeko´s plan concerning Suzui is. She keeps telling him about the joys of gambling so maybe him saying that he wanted to drop out struck a cord with her since gambling is her passion?
 
No. 5 vol 1.

I have a giraffe AND a sheep-lion, your argument is invalid.

A strange world, a strange future, a man on the run while his previous team mates try to hunt him down.
II always find fun these types of settings, where the reader have to piece together the setting. We have a Rainbow council, with nine members ranging from the leader No. 1 to No. 9. They seem to be the leaders of a peacekeeping force. A general mentions the council are mostly a mascot of the real military force, but they have strange powers (at least telepathy and no. 4 seems to have something else?) and have assigned cities for each number. But of course it's all confusing, it's still not very clear if the peacekeeping force is the council or all the "number" people, or if the cities are just under their supervision on name only or it's something of a stronger force.

In any case, the important bit here isn't the setting but the ambivalence of the characters. Through their code of honor and obedience the members of the council are compelled to obey and hunt No. 5 as it was ordered by No. 1, but it's clear most of them don't really agree to it, and they struggle with their fate, and No. 5 also liked the people he has to kill to survive. There is also a struggle of what it means to be part of the Rainbow council, about old codes and whatnot and their usefulness in modern times.

The colorful, blobby shapes that opposes any kind of graphical realism together the weird scifi setting reminded a bit to Kaiba, the anime.

Tatsuya ultimately won thanks to the MC bonus. I really like how Adachi took his time here to show us what has become of everyone, a lengthy epilogue should be a more common thing. Best thing is we still have one volume left.

I read through Tokyo Ghoul in like 3-4 sittings and it was simply amazing. I haven't been captivated by a piece of manga like that in a long while. I'm also actively reading Kingdom, Tokyo Ghoul :re, One Piece, and OnePunch Man. I'm looking for things in that similar vein, if anyone has any recommendations. Thanks!

Toriko

This arc is making me route for the monkey instead of Toriko and his friends.
He just wants friends to play with, while they're trying to mutilate him instead.

How else do you manipulate someone into becoming your adoptive daughter?

What were your impressions over the ending to Tokyo Ghoul?

This arc in Fuuka is gonna be so bad. He's obviously going to get all of them to come back, but its going to eat up a bunch of chapters making it happen. Can we just get to Fuuka's sister now?

No no, you see he has to meet her while drunk so he thinks she's Fuuka and can kiss her leading into a series of awkwards meetings and interactions that will eventually lead to some bullshit that could have been easily avoided if they would just have an honest conversation.

Yeah, this sounds like Seo.

What's happened to Mangabox? I started the app to read some Peephole and I got a message that said they couldn't publish some manga outside of Japan anymore because of the right-holders. Then I take a better look and Issue 47 to 49, 51, 1 and 2 are empty of titles, issue 52 has only 2 titles and the last peephole I have access to is Peephole 47.
Life is so unfair.

Was Again!! really axed or was it the mangaka choice to end it? I am at 100+ chapters and I think there's sufficient space for a satisfactory conclusion.

I fixed the Antiwhippy club read list.

Again!!! was interesting initially, but it went on for a bit long I think.

I share the same sentiment.

Any other good manga with the same/similar premise as Again!!?

Do you not feel the last arc was losing steam and at some point stretching the nonsensical limit? I say this as someone who like most of Kubo Mitsurou works.

Regardless, there are a few manga that has the 'time travel to the past' setting. The first two are completed and available in Eng.

Haruka na Machi e

Ore ga Doutei wo Sutetara Shinu Ken ni Tsuite ( MangaGAF called this smutterfly effect iirc )

Umareru Kachi no Nakatta Jibun ga Anna no Tame ni Dekiru Ikutsuka no Koto

Bakudan! - Bakumatsu Danshi ( travel back to Samurai era )

But I think what you really like in Again!! is its light-heartness atmosphere and the dynamic interactions of between the characters. That itself is quite hard to replicate because I think Kubo Mitsurou has her own distinct writing flair.

I use the site version so I am unaware of these issues, though I admit having to consistently catch up to every chapter lest they become unavailable to you is kind of annoying.

That's probably why I kinda ended up dropping all the series I was reading on Mangabox.

Miss a week and suddenly I'm forever behind.

On the plus side, at least I finished ARAIDOKI.

The best part is gonna be Koyuki getting wreckt by being rejected by Yuu again

I only got to 89(last translation I can find) so far and was enjoying it alot.

I did like that it was light hearted I also liked how it wasn't a crazy length of time travel( like I normally read/watch)
And I liked how the mc was changing the people in the past that were around him the entire time he never paid attention to.

Worst part is... the site looks like this for me now:

No series show at all. I guess I'd have to use a VPN to look at stuff going forward.

I thought the message was that jpn language versions of some of the manga would be unavailable to those outside of jpn which seems to have happened.

Otherwise at least for me, all my manga are still on it in web and app.

Weird. Have you tried the direct links to the series? Like this?

Just redirects me to the main page.
Just another thing to add to the pile of bad news for the day, after amazon.it canceled my preorders for Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? and the Spice&Wolf volume 13 LN.
