A Method to Make the Gentle World 13-14
I'm slightly surprised in how the story is progressing. I thought they were going to use Haruka as a springboard to introduce us to Aoi's problems, but they're actually spending a lot more time on Haruka than I thought. It seems the focus is on her for now, with most of the other stories for the other characters remaining in the background (such as how the other girls feel slightly uncomfortable with how Aoi acts). I don't have a problem with this though. Haruka's earnestness is growing on me, and I'm glad they're exploring the distance between her and Tomonaga instead of just using her as a convenient plot device.
Unfortunately, I'm not too interested in Touko or her issues, mostly because she hasn't really shown an interesting variation in expressions for me. I personally think that, if they want me to sympathize with her more, they should spend more time gradually introducing her issues instead of dumping them on me pretty much out of nowhere.
Every time I read a chapter of this manga, I'm always surprised at how much I enjoy it. The art is nice, the main character isn't too bad (the story isn't centered on him right now so he isn't that interesting, but he's pretty likeable in my opinion), and everyone feels pretty down-to-earth. For me, the manga manages to feel slow, but not sluggish, and I enjoy that pace. It has that nice seinen feel without feeling too dramatic. Too bad it's quarterly.

Oh hey, we're finally going to be what I thought they would do when like a bunch of chapters ago.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
So I gather based on your comments that every single girl in Aunt Tits has a severe mental disorder
Every single girl in every harem manga has a severe mental disorder.
(Except for Urusai Yatsura and even then... Dat Shinobu)
Does it really count as a mental disorder if every female in the manga has it?
At that point the norm will be the disorder and the disorder will be the norm.
Yes, it still does.

They usually make up for being implausibly dumb/naive by being only momentarily annoyed when the MC sees them naked or trips and falls into their crotch.
That's never happened to me and if it did I think I'd get i more trouble.

This manga needs to be more popular, it's a constant stream of shit getting real.

The rise of the Deres and Moe was the beginning of even worse shitty characterisation for women in shounen mangas.
Well except Natsu from Baby Steps, and Robin from One Piece. Both are great.
The Woman in the Corner Room by Marui Maru
An oldie, but still good story of passion and lust and how that passion and lust can overthrown reason easily.
One of the better qualities in the story is that the woman in said corner room reminds me a lot of Meme Touwa (when not wearing the stalker-looking mask/get-up).

Waste of a "you can only save one" plot, at least have the chapter end before Natsu saves them leaving us with some tension

This was actuqlly pretty good, I was looking fora short harem manga and this actually had a good ending.
It's art and story was done by the artist for Trinity 7, it's about a guy that wishes for help with getting the girl he likes to be his girlfriend. An angel in the form of a little girl dressed as a witch appears to help him with her magic, the only problem is that her magic requires the MC to repeat a task 10 times before it comes into effect.

What do you mean? Its pretty popular in jpn.
Maybe it's meant as in the [scanlations] readership.

I guess Id read the manga if I wasnt already watching the anime. Always weird to take the step down to go back to manga when an anime is running.
Though I think s1 turned alot of people off from the franchise.

...seriously, the lady happens to be pregnant? I cant help but think these curses of theirs, are just magic, just with triggers and stuff.
Sekaioni 1-2
Art is a bit sloppy, perhaps purposely to show the twisted parts of the story. Story basically is a lil gal living a crappy life with hallucinations(demons?) that appear in reflections....that turn out to be real? Interesting read.

Soul Catcher(s) colour page is just as good as I expected and more. Character design is quite well done.
C'mon now... even Gatsu?

"Sudden climax", like hell it is. That seems to be the complete opposite of Nisekoi's plot

The benefit of only reading one of those series.

imho you got the wrong order.
No 2?! Do you know something I don't?

At this point I wonder how many of the fans of this manga take it super-seriously. The moral compasses of Yuri's new family are still spinning at 1000 rounds per minute (if they haven't been flung into the orbit already) and the results of this are pretty damn hilarious.
Yuri's mother hates her guts but can't bring herself to make Yuri to move out of the mansion (except through marriage),her older sister is lazy, manipulative and possibly has "trolling through selective wording" as her favorite hobby, her older brother is this weird tsundere type character, and her little brother a complete incestuous nutjob. Yuri herself is the most "normal" person out of the bunch, that's not saying a lot
It's like I'm reading Addam's Family, except instead of monster family weirdness, we have fucked up high class family weirdness. With a bit less comedy but it is certainly there. I mean, just look at this.
I don't think he got the message Sumire. Try shouting a bit louder

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
It was a false dilemma because the guy was already going to kill everyone. He was just fucking with Lucy.

We got a shitload of hype and OMGOMGOMG from Kubo telling us about the final arc, and we haven't heard shit about Naruto. I think there's going to be another arc and I don't think they're going to end at the same time either given Jump's record of extending popular series.
I don't read Ippo or Nisekoi.

I have a feeling this One Piece arc is going to be a long one.
