Woah, i'm in hall of shame?

GTO End

This is not my first time reading it, though thanks to google translate level of localization by the 'publisher' (which i later find out to be bootlegged), this might as well count as me reading it for the first time.

Onizuka, a jerkass who decide to become a teacher after an encounter with a student who have an affair with her teacher. What start off as impure thought turn into something else, as Onizuka become a teacher that teach his student that the world is not all about having good grade. He teach them life and way to enjoy school.

This manga discuss some prevalent japanese education issues, like corrupt teacher, bullying, society pressure to get into great school to ensure better future, and all that other problems that can still be found today.

Onizuka is not a perfect teacher or a model citizen by any mean. He is an idiot, suck at studying, using a fake to pass teacher qualification, steal some porn, zero fuck given to law, and he did other criminal activity during his spare time. What make him unique is his approach to handle the students problem. His approach is close to what Groucho Marx saying, “When you're in jail, a good friend will be trying to bail you out. A best friend will be in the cell next to you saying, 'Damn, that was fun'.”

A great manga. I found the sequel to be inferior (still good though), and Toru Fujisawa art somehow become too simple...(Yoshikawa got bishonen'd during the later part).

Currently reading the GTO Early year as well, which feature Onizuka and Danma as a badass delinquent who have love troubles.
 
NOOOooooo, that would expose me even more on that list
:((

At least with more people behind me it seems like I am more random and thus less shame is put on me

But no one ever cares about anyone 11 and back.

It's all about the people like you who posted enough times in this thread to get that 1-10 placing, who should be acknowledged.

Wifey doesn't understand the difference between the real world and online.

Meaning if Hubby ever cheats on her, there won't be just another game over screen on his computer.

Joy.

HOT DAMN! at the presidents new outfit NSFW

I know which one is my favorite.

Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai! 1-33 (end)

So, a manga with a non-worthless MC, badass characters and action scenes, humor, lots of gratuitous lewdness, and a non-shitty conclusion to a series that neither had an abrupt/axed ending nor dragged on way past its welcome. I feel like Majikoi should win some sort of Trashy Manga Quality award, since 98% of them fail at least one of these conditions (usually the first and last in my list). And it was even adapted from an eroge.

bu.... but

....okay
Crunchy isnt really getting any new anime or manga

I wanna stop my sub and sub somewhere else :(

yeah I agree this sucks... plus they haven't uploaded HD versions of certain series

instead even if you're subbed you'd have to deal with the 480p version

FREE AVATAR UP FOR GRABS!

Soma's Pop.... I lazily cut it out and gave him a oval body


Edit: Here it is without the cheap body


 

Angry Grimace

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
We're up to two long awaited plots going somewhere. Can't wait to see how neither goes where I hope it does. After all, Umaru never gets caught and Taihei is too focused on Umaru for anyone to get anywhere with him. Right?

The next chapter doesn't even appear to mention any of the things in this plot thread and just has a different plot. So yeah, status quo.

*sigh* At least that's not quite the same as putting it out there only to shoot it down with a joke? Not sure if it's more or less infuriating, though.

Shinigami-sama to 4-nin no Kanojo 2-4

1. These reaction faces are killing me.

2. Why doesn't he just dump psycho sadist idol girl now that he has a good excuse? Although I guess he'd be making a calculated risk that she values her need to keep her private life private over being fucking crazy.

3. Airi looks good with her hair down.

Jitsu wa Watashi wa 1-64

This is a vastly better version of Nisekoi. It has character development, confessions, no bullshit mysteries, and troll characters to the max. There is an actual sense of time progression which makes me wonder if the manga might continue past the high school years. Akane is one of the best troll characters I have ever seen in any medium, it's like the mangaka dialed Marika up to 11.

One thing that surprised me is how much I like the childhood friend. Those are almost always the worst girls in pretty much every series but here she's somehow the best. It's like some weird dark magic.

I am worried though that the story might start to spiral into 90% hijinks, which despite how entertaining they are, would hurt the character relationship progression.

Yep, this is pretty much exactly how I see it. I only read Nisekoi for Marika's shenanigans at this point, but Akane is the goddess demoness of manga trolling now.

Anyone else think this thread lasted way longer then some of the other ones?

It was made on October 3rd and we'll probably be at 400 pages on February 3rd.

We mainly kept it about reading manga for once?

All those splinter shounen threads probably helped

As I started buying Kingdom I've run into the first problem, out of print volumes. Nothing worse than having to hunt for some volumes.

What's the context for the Black Knight showing up?

Must be first chapter of Kon-Kit's Black Knight Story.

Beware though it's NSFW but the ending is simply brilliant. I just want an excuse to post this.

but what about #1?

#1 is the caretaker and handles the curiosity of all the children here.

Man, gunbo's been gone so long nobody even remembers who he is anymore

It can't be help, I only start posting at the tail end of the last OT.

Personally I find it more infuriating, just feels like the author cheapened out on resolving the situation he created.

I suppose at least it doesn't reduce the situation to jokes as you said.

Less posts, more quality?

Who am I kidding?
 
Hatsukoi Monster 01


Rich girl is saved from a truck by a pretty boy. She falls in love with him, asks him out. He then tells her he's only in elementary school.

What on earth were they feeding this kid to still be in elementary school?
