+1 reason for Kana to avoid meeting her sister. She's a bigger monster than the hatched witches. Meanwhile, Hexenjagd's week is about to get considerably worse.
 

Oh boy

I like how he contradict himself like this.

Nise’s been a constant “ugh” for me. A typical harem series with a clueless protagonist and bullshit plot that supposedly has a deadline but never actually seems to progress anywhere.

See? It seems he know it's trash that he shouldn't expect anything out of it, but still...

I was so very excited for this chapter.

And then I was so very disappointed.

The chapter reeks so badly of deus ex machina that I wonder if Komi even understands how to write.

Look, if the author would know to how to write he would have written something more interesting and worth of anyone time than a "harem series with a clueless protagonist and bullshit plot without no progress".

Jeeez.

The real part I don't get is how he's been translating the series when he doesn't like it that much. Man that's kinda crazy to me. I'd never begin to consider that.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Seeing people take Nisekoi seriously enough to write that is kinda surreal.

It's because they care about their chosen waifu. That's why this genre is popular serious business.

Been taking a trip down memory lane and looking through some Ah My Goddess stuff. Planning on reading through it again.

It still puzzles me how nice his art looks compared to Tales. Ignoring the fact that the designs are hit or miss, I don't get why his cover art for Tales ports look so bad like Tales of the Abyss 3DS lol

His manga panels look a lot better.

I don't even know why anyone would root for waifus in Nisekoi, when the prize is so shitty. I read for Marika chapters, but not because I want her to get closer to Raku.

I need v13 of Yotsuba dammit.

Yeah, I really like Kosuke Fujishima's art, though apparently it became worse as the series neared its end (can't comment on that as I stopped reading midway through).

Any reason said why there isn't a lot of Yotsuba now? Has the author been doing anything else?
According to the scanlators (they wrote this in july)
The author/mangaka Azuma Kiyohiko-san is taking an extremely long extended break away from writing and drawing to focus on things not directly related with work. Last year, he had been working on finishing the annual Yotsubato! related content such as art for merchandise (e.g. the 2014 calendar), while this year he is and perhaps remains attending various conventions (some that have cosplay), autograph sessions and more at different cities. Not too long ago, he was also potentially looking to hire an assistant, but he doesn’t seem to have found someone to his expectations.

I guess I'll see when I get there. I watched and read AMG since elementary school, so the series means a lot to me, but I haven't finished it. It's just so weird to actually finish it, but I'm planning to later this year.

Going to buy the volumes from where I left off reading.

That's actually a better reasoning/explanation than what I was expecting. It seems actually planned out and straightforward. I was expecting something like Togashi.

So he's busy doing other stuff. Well, at least it's reassuring to know that it wasn't due to a loss of interest or anything ominous like that.

I also need to finish it someday. I rather liked it, but it gradually slipped off my mind as my backlog became bigger, and the slow progress didn't really help.

Keep in mind that after a certain point Fujishima was only writing the series and had assistants drawing it, so the art takes a small drop. When people complain about the art getting worse, this is what they're referring to.

I just caught up with Prison School, as gross as it can be its one of my favourite manga. Consistently hilarious.

I feel pretty bad for Hana.

I really liked Devil Blues, its such a different manga to Prison School. Didnt it come back recently?

Devil Blues isn't the series i'm talking about.

Hell i even added the "smut" moniker to indicate i wasn't talking about that ( and also because i forgot the name of the actual series i'm referring to)

Yeah, it resumed publication, with a couple of new chapters released in september, though there aren't any translations yet. Apparently the fifth volume is going to be the last.

I think God's Beard was being facetious.
 
So it seems the author of Tokyo Ghoul is a fan of HunterxHunter.


He drew a picture of Hisoka, then again Hisoka and Tskuiyama are a bit similar on how psychotic they are.

Plus Gotoh and Matsuri look alike in design.



For real though who doesn't love HunterxHunter? I really love it even if the haitus is killing me.

Please don't release another Dragon Quest game.

Oh, that makes sense. I left off in the 30s for the volumes, so I guess it happens in the 40's.

Although looking at the volume covers, 47 and 48 look a bit off.
 
Yotsuba&! Chapter 1

This was so fuckin good. This is like a laid back version of Barakamon. Yotsuba is indeed weird but that's the best thing about this. Her interactions with her surroundings are so great and hilarious. The first chapter really did make me feel good. I can't wait to find out of the many things that may happen with Yotsuba and her dad living in a new neighborhood.

Why hasn't anybody ever told me about this series? Just by the first chapter I'm already hooked.

Now I see why people like this series so very much.

Those are probably it, I think I remember the story arc where it happened but I don't want to spoil you.

Yotsuba is such an adorable little ball of positive energy~

I guess most people tend to assume that any regular around here has already read Yotsuba&! since it's generally considered to be the cheery slice of life series everyone knows about.

It's funny how you guys started talking about Yotsuba&! since the Manga's 12 years old next week (March 21st).

Maybe Kiyohiko Azuma will go back to regular releases by then!
