I can never understand people that defend ongoing series as if quality fluctuations don't happen.
I'm still behind a few weeks so I'm in no hurry for more stories!

So kasane's romance manga ended with him getting drunk on a pirate ship?
Huh.
So I checked out said OT. Is that how it was back in the "ShonenGAF" days?

I've lived most of my formative years in australia so australian.
Technically still lived more than half of my life in singapore.
What is culture and nationality anyway, in this increasingly globalised world?

What a small world we live in, huh?
Well, I'm glad I missed that period then!

That's only a small taste of the madness tbh
I guess we can thank these OTs for existing.
Oh, I'm sure that with the Naruto shipping and general Big 3 rivalry added to the mix, there were some glorious fireworks going on.
Onani Master Kurosawa [re-read]
So I decided to re-read this.
The first half wasn't quite as good as I recalled, in my memory it was very over the top with crazy plans and mental games, but I found it to be quite... "subdue" despite it's nature.
I blame Prison School for this, even though Onani Master Kurosawa is a bit more extreme on it's premise, Prison School basically raised the standards for that type of scenes.
The second part was more or less what I recalled, the series focus changed to character growth and development.
The fixing of the friendships happened a bit too suddenly and could had used some more exploration, and the series could had used a few more chapters to develop the relationship between characters, in particular Takigawa with Kurosawa.
This is a hard manga to recommend, mostly due to it's subject, but if you can get over the whole "master of fapping" aspect of it, it's still an interesting and fun read.

Do you also mentally make the distinction where OMK is more grounded and realistic too?
I mean whether it feels real or not is not a strike against Prison School but OMK setting and the general human's behaviours and interactions are more relatable. Hence, within that kind of parameters, these 'crazy plans and mental games' might just have more weight into it despite being less over the top in nature
Don't know why I'm speaking up for OMK even though I don't like it as much as most people I came across.

Yeah, um, that's, uh, a delicious hero?
That's my biggest complaint about this series. In particular, the way the relationship with Sugawa towards the end was portrayed felt very much shoehorned.

I do think it's fair to say that OMK is a (much) more grounded work than Prison School, and the series aren't quite comparable.
I wasn't really expecting it to be Prison School nor did I make the comparison while reading it, it just didn't quite live up to what I recalled from the previous time I read OMK (quite a few years ago), and the Prison School comparison came from me trying to understand why that was.
I would say my own expectations are partly to blame for my lesser enjoyment of the first half, my recollection of OMK was of a much more over the top series before the change of pace in the later half.
Despite that, I did had issues with the the plans in OMK not being well thought, they were all very simplistic in nature, and honestly should had been caught by others at some point of time, for one every single time someone fapped he was the only guy missing in class. That's the other coin of being a more grounded work though, it's harder to overlook that type of issues.
Yeah, I felt the series needed Sugawa to explore why Kurosawa had done that to her before forgiving (if she would forgive him at all), plus people usually work through their problems, they don't just forgive each other out of nowhere and go back to how things were ... especially not if someone does what Kurosawa did.
Tome Kano is my avatar. Tetsuwan Girl is awesome, as far as I'm concerned.
Tetsuwan Girl is awesome and should be read by everyone.

Oh thank god, really? That was one hell of a cliffhanger. Things were really starting to heat up too! Any idea when the new serialization will start? Also, which magazine picked it up? I'd like to send them a bouqet of flowers for saving this great series.
Pokemon Adventures Volume 4-7 (Yellow arc)
So finally we address the Elite Four, though this arc I felt was a lot weaker in many ways to the first one.
For one there's a lot of holes, like why the Elite Four even have the goal of destroying humanity. The manga tries to create a dynamic of the struggle between the reality of humans polluting the world and how it affects wildlife, but I felt as a whole this wasn't really delved upon in favor of pointless action scenes making the climax feel very weak.
I enjoyed the training arc Yellow had with Blue the most to be honest, even though her Pokemon didn't evolve until last minute.
I'm also confused about what importance Viridan Forest has to the series. Why do people that come from it have special powers that can heal Pokemon? And why is Giovanni a part of this group as well as Lance? I'm so confused.
Basically, it's Plotholes: The arc. I hope some will get filled in the upcoming arcs but I'm not too hopeful. D

Soma 100 spoilers - Doesn't seem like they did anything particularly special for chapter 100.
Well I mean, Hayama's spicy carpaccio melted Leonora's clothes off, but other than that.

If only there was a cricket manga. Then I'd actually read a sports manga. I guess I'm have to wait for a indian cricket manga.
I get the feeling the author thought that Kurosawa deserved some sort of "reward" for turning into a better person. Well, at least it was mildly amusing.
To die while doing what you loved the most? Sounds like a good death!
Here's hoping she'll show up again soon.

Seraph of the end looks glorious. Yu and Mika. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NtzDAmRhD9s
The way it ended would had been good enough of a reward even without Sugawa forgiveness.
Woman these days like painting their hair.

The lack of Hunter x Hunter is making your brain going places. I can't see why this would be a good idea in any way.
True. The ending was pretty nice at least.
Don't give up your manga life! You can keep living the dream even in Canada!
I think.

I don't know where to ask this, so if I should go somewhere else just tell me.
I'm thinking about reading "All You Need Is Kill", is it alright? I know that it is darker and some things about the ending (
).
