Les Miserables 1

Well sure, that's one way of getting me to read it. It's that slightly famous Victor Hugo novel adapted into the purest form of literary entertainment. First chapter was as cheerful as the title suggests. Vive la France.
 

Principate

Saint Titanfall
Feng Shen Ji 147

Ahhh shit, ahh shit, everythings going down, parallels to the ransacking of his fathers kingdom, all the major players coming out imminent part 2 of Gods vs Dark Ones.

All the events of the manhua was leading up to this point. Man this so good can't wait for this stories climax.
 
Boku no Hero Academia 32

I thought Hitoshi would be stronger based off his looks. Looks can be deceiving.

Attack on Titan 67

Ron Reiss looks like a baked chicken on fire lolol. Sasha not being hungry is very uncharacteristic of her and may be foreshadowing of the devastation this baked chicken will do.
 
Melancholy World 00


A disease sweeps through the world where those affected forget the most important person to them. By chance, one who's affected meets the one he forgot.

A really nice one shot. It's done very subtlety, but it sets the mood just right and you can't help wanting to know about their past relationship and what the future might bring.

It'll be interesting to see how this is fleshed out into a full series now.

That's an interesting particular... i can see how this "vessel of the past" can turn into a great training arc.
I love training arcs.

I've hardly been reading manga in the last year. I used to post so often here! I haven't even kept up with one piece. I used to love reading that every week. I was up to date with I Am a Hero, but then they didn't release the newest volume for kindle... I think I'm only up to date with Boku wa Mari no Naka. I used to also be up to date with Otoyomegatari, Vinland Saga, and Billy Bat. At least I'm up to date with Berserk and HxH hahahaha.. ha... :(

I should just push and get up to date with all my stuff. I took a break from Naruto, after reading it weekly for ten years, last year... still haven't finished that piece of crap.

Don't bother with Naruto, just read the last chapter, it actually feels like the good old days where characters meant something. Also, you poor soul... A year of being busy?! You gotta take some time on the weekend to read if you're this desperate lol

This just feels different than the one shot. It feels less about the romance and the forgotten memories and now more about a city that floats and this mysterious girl that suddenly appears.

It does look fantastic, this floating city is something that would look pretty nice colored in. I'm just more disappointed the romance and memory forgetting disease has taken a back seat here.

I don't know why I stopped reading this other than I was probably really focused on Uni, Kiyoshi's idea of how to get a girl to kiss people is really messed up thanks to what happened with Hana, I could see what happened with Shingo x Anzu as soon as he mentioned the bottle. Still I would ship Kiyoshi x Hana even though he currently likes Chiyo, but I guess she'll have more significance as the story goes on.

I also saw the Wing's Hana figure, it's quite detailed, even comes with a little cut up plastic bottle.

I started reading this again recently and its fucking hilarious.

The water bottle gag is so funny, I love how he convinces Shingo to do it, almost makes Gakuto try it and then later when Hana asks him why he is popularising it he genuinely seems to think its an effective way to get somebody to kiss you.

Hana is mad lusty for Kiyoshi, she is the first actual well written tsundere I've ever seen..

A short story collection about love (presumably).
Raws acquired? I suppose I should get back to the other project first haha. Or... do both at once!

It's not that I've been completely busy for a year, but I have had things I've chosen to do over reading manga. I haven't really felt driven to read manga as much. I'll get back to it eventually. My hobbies cycle.

I haven't read/bought a manga in weeks either.
I don't miss it that much actually. Music and drama keep me entertained.
 
Yoshihiro Tatsumi has died. He was one of the all time great mangaka, and his work has been getting more attention in the West in recent years. I urge you guys to check out his stuff, especially his autobiography A Drifting Life. RIP

I go through the same thing too lol, haven't read manga in a couple of days. Might turn into months until summer stretches around.

It sucks to lose mangakas... I'm still down with Psyren's and Hanza Sky's mangakas not being of this world anymore. The first had the potential to be one of the greatest shonen's to grace humanity with its uniqueness but was rushed due to his illness, if I read it correctly. I don't know how to second mangaka passed away but at least he/she finished the manga, the part that gets me is that we won't be seeing any future works ;_;

Psyren's mangaka is still alive. Heck he just started his new manga in Jump 5 weeks ago.

Nope, it will happen in a week or two but it's pretty low priority. More than anything I was just really surprised to see it get a second volume at all.

Manga-wise I'm still somewhat keeping up with all the ongoing stuffs but got too lazy to post about anything nowadays, it's animu and gaming that's been getting the short end of the stick. Let's see if Bloodborne can change anything.

A tournament arc where a fight with the main character is resolved in a single chapter? Be still my heart!

Real shame, he was manga revolutionary
 
I've been lied too! Why did Psyren feel so rushed then! Argh!

Don't know sale wise but ranking wise Psyren was not doing well throughout it's last year of life. 75% of the year it was in the bottom 4 spots, the other 25% of the time it was 5-8th spot. For the final 10 weeks of it's life it was almost always in the 2nd bottom spot and when it did move it only moved up to the third or fourth bottom spots.

Wow, that's really bad... The story had potential but I do agree with the placings.

I sometimes forget that she's supposed to be a powerful goddess.
Well, she's been supposedly "weakened" all this time, so I think the author kind of wanted us to forget. :p

I like how she destroys everybody, and Kirika just casually rolls up with the banana split.

If we're going to get one chapter every 3 months, I'm just going to drop it for 5 years.

Sometimes I wonder how good series don't just get picked up by other faster scanners. You know, rather than fighting over 7 Deadly Sins for no reason.
