It's gotten cold enough for me to see my own breath during the day and freeze my dogs water bowls at night.

Can't wait to turn on that heater when I get home.

Ye- wait WHAT. That sentence escalated quickly. I can see my breathe once in a while but holy crap man, I've never even witnessed the miracle of water becoming solid outside of my freezer.

Oh THIS manga. i want to say i hope you are emotionally ready for it, but that in itself is too big a spoiler.

that author commits a major gaffe in it that put off a lot of people.
Well, read it until the
drug rape scene
, felt like a bit too much for me to handle right now.

Back to AKB49.
 
I "accidentally" looked at the baka updates tags and there's
rape
in this. This is gonna suck isn't it :(. I'm now worried that based on takai's early strange behavior that this manga is going to go to some dark places. I'll continue reading but i was really hoping to avoid dark and depressing stuff :(.

Just tell me this isn't an author that enjoys deliberately making fans angry.

it's not aggressive rape, and some would say it's more "attempted" rape. it does involve drugs and the mangaka left it ambiguous if there was penetration (i personally think there was). the perpetrator basically gets away with it with no repercussions. my problem with the manga isn't so much this, but how the author deals with it afterwards. in a way, after it happens, the character is put into an NTR situation almost as if to justify or to make it clear that "MC shouldn't be with this person". i personally saw it as a "she's no longer pure for the MC, better make her do something to make the public mad at her.

warning contains major spoiler and can be rage inducing for some.

on Happier news:

A dairy's cow life by ShindoL

Quite the tale. The cows anthropomorphic design makes it into an overall porn story, but it doesn't remove the actual message this story is able to convey. They're animals, they're cattle, so we don't give much thought about the way we treat them, but seen the way this portrays it, it doesn't feel too dissimilar from heavy slavery. Taken from birth away from their parents, sold away, made unable to escape, used through and through for their produce, be it milk or offsprings and once they can't produce milk or give birth anymore, sent to become food and their remains used in some various ways. It's probably even worse since not even death spares their mortal remains.
ShindoL is fucking deep, man.

The dere is strong within this one.

And Stalker girl gonna stalk.

Lucky you.

Gotta step out into the cold and see those bowls of ice and decide whether to use the slow method of putting them in the sink with hot water or bash it against the wall/ground, in hopes they just fall out without breaking the actual dog bowl.

Thanks for the heads up, I read as much of grappler as I could, and all of son of ogre. Still entertaining despite the immensely bad pacing.
 
Just checked out the first episode of the new Tokyo Ghoul anime.

Looks like they're going for an anime original ending or something, instead of showing what happened with Ken's group between the Hideout Raid arc and the Kanou arc. A bit disappointing. They also went through like 15 chapters in 1 episode.

It's a bit disappointing but at least we get the twist of Kaneki joining Aogiri.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(

It was fun editing the response without reading the notes :D. I'm going to make a book mark and comeback to this post after I get to somewhere I really find rage inducing and compare notes :)

Prison School ch150

I mean, the PBR trio's antics are funny, but Kiyoshi is just consistently outdoing himself these past couple of chapters.

Chouchou Nannan ch5

Well things are progressing at least.

7 Seeds v7-9

That's some fucked-up institution. Holy shit.

Inhumane practices aside, I did find the progress of various skills the students achieved through their hardships interesting, in addition to the final test and how it puts into practice everything they learned. There were some interesting tidbits about the background of this project as well. I still find the government's reliance on a select few individuals for the survival of the human species instead of a broader population somewhat stupid though.
 
Attack on Titan 65

We got some more answers, some of them being kind of dumb?
So the kings with titan powers built the walls and wiped humanity's memory but for some reason it doesn't work on Asians and other bloodlines? Since Mikasa is both Asian and an Ackerman, I assume she will be super important or something.

Eren please die. Historia's titan form should be interesting
 
Attack on Titan 65

Good-bye Historia, you were...there...

Yeah, she may be wiped out by Mikasa. I don't think Eren will kick the bucket, would be kind of...pointless at this stage.

This writer really freestyles the story though...interesting where it takes him to triumph or ruin anyway.

Finally got Vol 1 and 2 of D-Gray Man. I'm gonna start doing my impressions on the manga since I really forgot about it. Though I did watch the anime, but I wanna see how the manga develops and since the anime didn't cover all of the manga.

All this is hope that it comes back from haitus in 2015.
 

B-Dubs

No Scrubs
Oh come on you know that's not gonna happen. The only people who are going to be leaving us in the next few chapters are those two no-names with the SL that were in that one panel.

She has no role in the story other than eating Eren at this point. Before this she was our link to the truth behind all the shit, but that was all just revealed. No reason to keep her around at this point.

And if I told you they would keep her around for the sole reason of pandering to Ymir/Historia lovers, would you believe me?

After where the anime ended it felt like a blur of inconsistency and pacing issues. Which is sad since I really loved the concept of the whole series.

Gonna be pretty hard to walk her and Eren back from this.

Honestly if it does happen good, it should happen. But the fact that they are telegraphing it so damn hard is just asking for expectations to be subverted. And if they do that, I will not be happy.

Attack on Titan 65

Both Historia and Eren are morons. None of that will solve anything.

Kenny was the fun part of this chapter. Reveals were fine, at this point it'd be hard for the reveals to not be somewhat out there, at least the reveals end up being consistent with the rest of the world that was built.
 
Ane Log 1-25

A manga about a perfect older sister who has delusional monologues about her otouto being madly in love with her. (Spoiler: He's not). Misunderstandings ensue.

Also it has like 150 untranslated chapters.

There's never enough manga about younger bro-con that is actually good. Freaking imouto-moe is too popular.
 
Prison School 150

Kiyoshi continues to show why he's deserving of this volume's cover page.

*salutes*


I've also seen through the future and WHOOO BOY, SHIT'S GONNA GET REAL

Reading this actually make me feel guilty over cows.

The lesson here is that activists need to create cowgirls to advance their plight.
