I came to the conclusion that Toei may know how to do good animation but are just pure evil people that have a terrible hobby of trying to kill a series
One Piece is the outlier as much as they are trying their hardest with it

What is it with this series and mincing unconscious people?
I can take explicit gore just fine, but both mincing scenes made me stop for a few seconds before continuing. I was even already expecting the second one, and yet it still made me pause.
I was talking more in general. Panda-kun treats me well~

With the money Kamen Rider makes, Toei an afford to keep on failing.
Akamatsu's a hack but I can't stop reading his garbage
The Fate series is awful! Nasu sucks at plotting!

Well, she's better than the real boring stuff like Soma's Erina, true.
But that doesn't mean people should talk evilly about Mein too

I think it got good around vol 3, when Eva and the pactio system was introduced. At that point, the series had it's 'hook' and an overall goal besides harem hijinks. Suddenly, the various girls had an actual point.
Kyoto was also the first time, IIRC, where the series clearly connected to Love Hina, universe wise.

is more than just your standard rom com thought. as series goes by
It changes genres about 100 or so chapters in and actually gets pretty good.
Gokusai Volume 2
I really love the covers for this.
Rilo takes a backseat position in this volume (she wasn't exactly prominent in the first one, but It's mostly all Jo in this) while we see more of Jo/Jo's mother and how, in a way, the past and also Rilo's encounter with Jo shaped him.
The whole Van Gogh part was intense, especially when Jo
.
The volume ended on a better note than I was expecting at the start for Jo and Rilo, but it also has an assurance of future problems/dangers to befall on Jo and Rilo.
Maken Ki! Volume 9
That fabulous nipple slip for Aki was... fabulous.
9 volumes to see Takeru not be a chicken shit and realize that his "I won't hit women" was just him running away. Took long but hopefully he'll stop being shit for real. At least he completed the Blood Pointer and hopefully will give an ass-kicking to that asshole.
So Himegami is Yamata no Orochi (adult Himegami is hot)? Given the start of the flashback, I'm guessing the old asshole is possessed by the spirit of Kousu. Ousu is the spit image of Takeru instead.
I'd love to see Hiromitsu Takeda do one of his usual works with the Maken Ki cast. Alas it's too bad it'll never happen.
Dragon Head Volume 5
Still no explanation about what kind of catastrophe hit Earth or what caused it. I like that Teru and Ako meet both good and bad people. Makes me appreciate them both more, as their experience in the tunnel forged a certain bond of trust between the two. It's also good to see how Teru, a kid, is more thoughtful of his past actions than adults like those military guys.
I don't like how Ako was left like that by Nimura. Dude is a grade A asshole, as shown by his action in the previous volume (and I gotta give it to Ako for having the balls to go with him to look for the medicine for Teru). Hopefully nothing bad happens to her since it would break my heart.
Dragon Jam Volume 5
On one hand, I think the game took too long to end. On the other hand, the game was pretty exciting, with great plays and also a lot of personality coming out not only from the players but also some of the people watching (Handsome's Air Guitar play to pump Tatsuya, Ako and Taizo was fantastic).
Ako had one great moment when she got that one 3 pointer over Panther. She really tricked him good.
With the game done and
I'm not sure where the story is gonna go next, but it's clear that the rivalry between Ryoji and Tatsuya can't just end like that. I wonder if it will focus on street basketball still or focus on Tatsuya trying to become a professional player. I'd probably prefer street basketball.
Children of the Sea Volume 5
I'd say that this manga that focused so much on the sea was too deep for me, but it seems like a lame joke.
Still, the end was a bit too deep. I would have preferred a less up to the reader experience for the last part.
I'm also saddened by how it ended but glad that all those left still loved the sea and were full of curiosity about it and looking for their answers, though Ruka's hand in that last page confused me a bit in how I should interpret that.
All in all though, a great series. It really captured the magic, mystery, beauty and dangerous aspect of the sea, as far as I'm concerned and in large part that's also thanks to Igarashi's masterful art.

Negima remains to this day my #1 favorite shounen series. it may take some time to get into but I say with great confidence it is worth reading. I put it with my top three of Negima, YYH and Gintama. even if the ending left me so bitter for months...
UQ Holder's latest chapter... well shit, springfield family can't catch a break. almost reminds me of a certain joestar family...

Spoiler pics of Gintama 526 abounds on the internet.
If those pics aren't taken out of context and the stuff in it actually sticks, we might actually be very close to endgame for this series.

And one piece and precure. Toei don't give a shit, they have the king of shonen and the queen of plastic shit.
All-Rounder Meguru 29-56
I can praise the technical nature of this enough but I think the best element of this series is its use of social commentary to build up the characters backstories and motivations, the execution of which is far more nuanced and grounded than most other series I can think of that've tried and failed. Well, that and Endo's afterwords!

...thankfully not all of them. Some of them are on the other hand just pretty fucking clueless.
A long awaited confession in one of the most popular romantic spots in an amusement park? NAAAAWWWWWWWWW, never!
Also looks like this might be the penultimate chapter

Don't worry, it turns into a slightly (?) ecchi battle manga later on. But yeah you can't read UQ holder without reading negima first.

Mari actually being a psycho that never body-swapped seems way too obvious at this point. Unless the series is about to end, I kind of hope it isn't that.

No fucking way!
He can be a real slave driver though~
Gave it a read. Well, it looks interesting enough. I kinda like the protagonist's relax attitude towards the various perils encountered, and also towards the whole being a spirit thing.
Don't forget his Tanpenshuu when you catch up with Meguru! I always felt that work was very personal and raw to him.
I wanted to see more of Hina, who had gotten very little screentime compared to the rest of the house, but otherwise I agree.

Shonen to Yoru no Mahou [oneshot]
Ah yes my favorite type of story, friends falling in love but both unable to say their feelings until strange events happen. I loved how they had the body switching and hugging and kissing. Sweet story.
Also it oddly looks like Kageyama and Suga from Haikyuu!! The characters even act the same way...

It's only like 2 or 3 volumes until Evangeline, and after that, the shift in focus isn't very surprising.
