Just gotta have faith brah. I transferred moat of my life force to get Soul Catcher(S) out of the back of Jump.
We need more releases like Vinland Saga here. Extra content, oversized, hardcover. Great presentation. The Amazon fiasco hurts it though.
So what you're saying is Doflamingo for nakama
*smack*
Sorry, I have a reflex to slap anyone that uses that weeaboo word.
... Fucking Kaizoku-Fansubs.
Nakama don't treat their nakama like that, uguunakama.
I see what you're doing, so I'm going to hold my hand back.
At least I can take pleasure in knowing that with the release of Season 5: 4th Voyage, K-F will be officially obsolete.

Naruto 655
Pointless chapter that could have been remedied if Minato had just let Kakashi killed Obito and send him off to where ever Rin is.
Bleach 557
Pretty exciting chapter.
Komamura is actually succeeding in making me root for him.
One Piece 728
lol Robin already making another shocked expression this arc.
Wish Oda would have shown Bart foaming at the mouth.

I've seen nakama used as a verb somewhere before. It was pretty amazing.
You can't become Kaizoku Ou without a trusty group of nakamas

The "Random delinquent pops up, messes with Mitsuhashi and/or his friends just to gets his ass kicked in one way or another by him afterwards" storyline is starting to feel tiresome to me. The school trip started out nicely but then it was just business as usual.

You might wanna slow down the pace a bit then. The whole point is Mitsuhashi/Itou/Riko interaction with all these silly dudes, so if it's getting samey, you might be taking too much of it in.
It definitely worked out for me at a chapter per day, just saying.
But I'm already taking it pretty slowly with one volume per day at most, any slower and I might feel like the number of remaining volumes will actually increase lol
Ah well, I don't usually do this but maybe I can find another complete series and then read them both in rotation.
Well yeah but it's a really really long episodic sol, not really something to read in bulk.
Think about it this way, the more days you read KKOW in, the more days you'll be happy in. Flawless logic.
(by the way i suggest tripeace, shhh i said nothing)
I was really hoping he was going to do it.. but it goes against the theme Kishi is going for I guess. This makes it concrete that the sauce will be redeemed. : |
MU says Rushed Ending/Axed, how bad was it?
Not that bad if you know it's coming. At the very least, the ending seems to have been planned from the beginning, just carried out earlier (and shorter).
The best arcs are clean, I swear.

Woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah. Baby Steps is going to have original material and be animated by the brahs that did Kingdom? It's going to be a disaster, isn't it?
Alright, I'll take a look at it tomorrow, if I can find some spare time in between the next gen hype that is.

One Piece:
Did anyone else notice the little girl with the eyepatch in Doflamingo's crew was still... well, a little girl even 10 years ago in the flashback? Is she like some sort of child that never grows old, or maybe it's related to an ability/Devil Fruit she might have?
Also, I can't see a child like that being any sort of combatant for Doffy, but at the same time he probably wouldn't keep an ordinary child around just the hell of it. My guess is that she has some sort of passive ability that benefits him in some way or another, what that ability may be is anyone's guess.

One Piece kicking ass, as per usual.
D. Gray-man is still being made? Huh, thought she gave up on it.
I think Shueisha should throw in the towel and accept that Toriko is not going to be the "next big thing". Especially when a better food-related manga appeared (and I like Toriko).
*sees Vampire Knight* Well, that explains why it's popular here in the states.

Atom is easily by far my favorite character in this. The human touch he adds to this with his inquisitive thoughts and ability to see that which has not been seen adds an amazing level of suspense to the story. Somehow its such a fast read that I barely realized that I finished it in only two and a half hours.
Teddie and the robot locked away are the more intriguing aspects here as they seem to hold the secrets that I most want to know about. The creepy laugh and memory, the 500 line at the end, and a bit more made his scene with Gesicht most memorable. And one minor thing, Teddie creeping in on the president speech, nice touch.
Still I just really want know if memory was truly tampered with and why.

I'm happy to see Beelzebub is starting to catch up. I guess all the comedy happening in it at the moment is getting people back into it.

It's Eneru. Calling him Enel is just english fanwank trying to give the name deeper meaning than it's meant to have. Thankfully Viz and Funimation kept his name as Eneru as it's suppose to be.
Sure, the arc about native americans had a villain named after the Mesopotamian Lord of Wind..... yeah, no.
Eneru is obviously a pun on the word Energy, which is why they use the exact same symbols as the japanese word for energy. It isn't any deeper than that.

actually telling his brother's girlfriend he has a new girlfriend at least seems like he's moving on from her.
Nonetheless, I really enjoyed this.
Japan obviously do not care much about Eneru/Enel.
I just like Enel because it sounds...godlier...than Eneru. My local translation used Enel anyway.

It's Enel. Get used to it.
Magdala de Nemure 1-4
I was expecting more from the author of Spice and Wolf & Billionaire Girl as this doesn't really have the hook those had. It's about an Alchemist (considered a heretic by the church) on death row who's saved by a Knights guild to experiment for them. The alchemist is joined by a former ally and a girl from the Guild who watches over them both to report on their deeds.
I would've just stopped here but something actually interesting happened for once at the end of the fourth chapter so I'll stick with it for now to see if it ends up going anywhere worthwhile.

I think I'm reading Railgun instead here.
Viz used Eneru. Though they called "Kami" instead of God because they're cowards. Even though I'm pretty sure the people reading manga aren't god-fearing Christians that flip out over things like that.
... I often feel like I'm the only person that doesn't like Viz.

Calling Enel 『Eneru』 is like calling a character named Joe Sandwich 『Jo Sandoichi.』

Lots and lots of words.
Kinda surprised the group is already fighting the king or whatever.
It's getting bogged down by all its technogabble making it a lot less interesting at this point.

Most people have no reason to hate them, they're too busy reading it for free. The quality of their translations is irrelevant. The people who hate them are the people like us who actually want to pay to support manga.
Naruto
WTF? Now everyone is using talk no jutsu? BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING! Anyway, Naruto about to get involved in the Madara-First squabble. That giant rasenshuriken, what is he going to attack with it? I hope it's the tree, because he has no chance of beating Madara with it. Also, a hiatus until the New Year? Ugh. At least this should mean the next few chapters hit with a bang.
Bleach
So...who wants to bet wolfy gets worffed anyway? I never understood the point of explaining moves out loud. An internal monologue, I can understand, but telling the opponent what your move does? This is just begging for him to get worffed. How often do these suicide moves pay off in manga where people never die anyway? Seems like a terrible idea.
One Piece
This arc is kinda dragging. The backstory is good, I guess, but I'd like to know more about Dofla's personal history now. Oh...and some action wouldn't be bad. We had that little spat between Flamingo and Law, and I don't want to return to that to find that Law got his ass kicked off-panel. Seems like the crew is starting to reform though. At least we might have 3 larger groups now. The army attacking the factory/Flamingo, the Sunny returning back to Dressrosa, and Luffy, Zoro and Kinemon at the Colosseum. Bellamy can only share information, I don't see him standing a chance against Luffy. PEACE.

Good point.
Just another reason the comic book industry is dying (and yes I mean both American and Japanese comic books). That and the horrible decisions made with the DC relaunch.
Shinonome Yuuko wa Tanpen Shousetsu o Aishite Iru End
Only 10 chapters huh. I was about to say the ending felt pretty rushed and I was disappointed that neither main character made their feelings towards each other explicitly known...
...but then I read the credits page that mentions the manga only covered the first volume of the light novel. So I guess that makes sense.
In any case, this was a pretty good read. The guy's inferiority complex towards his older brother was kind of a drag but at least that actually managed to get settled by the end. At ten chapters I'd recommend it to people looking for something in the vein of Horimiya or other similar romance manga.
