That's why I posted that pic instead of typing it out. No need for spoiler tags.

Seriously though, that girl ain't right.

Half & Half 4

Seo's really bad at drawing people at certain angles. I feel like he never improved in some shots except for when people are facing the reader.
Looks like we learned more about the main guy's background. Just like the one shot, he's still an artist. I didn't exactly like the "you're working for my company and ditching your dream" dad since that's pretty cliche now. It was even used in Fuuka!

Half & Half 5

Unless this is some weird misunderstanding, I'm actually surprised. Didn't think that she got pushed off.

Half & Half 6-7

These characters have awful childhood friends. That one girl not feeling any remorse for pushing her off is evil.
Looks like some more scenes from the one shot are appearing again which is good. I'm hoping at this point somehow things go well for the main couple, but I don't know.

Hell yes, turns out there's actually more chapters to this. It's a horror story about schoolgirls hunting 'mermaids' to fulfill unrequited loves, with a couple of, uh, twists. If any of the followup stories can match the ending of this one I'll be amazed.

All caught up. Looks like I have to wait until May for the final chapter :(

While I did like the scenes from the one shot that kept appearing in this, I like the ending of this one more since they actually discuss their fates a bit. Half & Half actually turned out a bit better than I expected. I didn't really care for the rage bits at the beginning though, but the romance parts in the second half worked.

Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha got licensed in Italy too. Now I'll have to buy it.
Although Tokyo Slaves, which got licensed too, has me a bit more interested. At least cover wise.

o_O someone actually picked up that series...god dammit Italy! It's a interesting concept for sure and the first few chapters were entertaining.

Man, these sure are intriguing covers.

Would love to read this.

Those are some...interesting covers.

This is turning into an Shonen where the powers are asses faster every chapter. There are ass counters now. It's ass counter breaking ass combos.

Quadruple quote.

I was also drawn to the first cover when I check it out. I remember reading some chapters of this manga and I don't quite like it. The whole premise is hard to digest from a more realistic outlook. You can chuck it to the list of seinen manga that I though was interesting at the start and just flat out disappoint as the story goes on. Like Aku no Kyouten & Yokohamasen Doppelganger etc.

Wow, this feels soul breaking.

Edit:

Soul crushing is the term I was looking for. What's the premise on this story? Its looking like this is some psychopath getting his/her way with these three people.

To Love-Ru Darkness 53 - The tsundere story we had to have I guess. Though we already have Kotegawa, who I prefer.

Minamoto-kun Monogatari 159 - I'll say it, I'm bored of this story arc and have been for a while. I guess the awkwardness has gone on too long for me. The one bright spot was the Aoi cameo, who is my favourite non-Kaoruko character.

What if you could enslave anyone you ever wanted? Well, this comes close. The SCM lets you enslave anyone who is also wearing an SCM, at a price. One must win over the other, at anything, in order for the other to become their slave.

Really cute flashback of Akane.

And I love how the heart-shaped pupils accentuate Shikimi's creepiness:

Clearly nothing can go wrong with her.

Is this psychological? This looks nuts... Those heart shaped eyes always scare me. I don't need Yandere in my manga.

I knew it... Soul crushing indeed.

I'd come running to you anytime, Mikado-sensei.

And that is the lewdest scene I've ever seen with a watering can.

Don't worry, she's just a violent psycho.

Aw, that's a bummer.

Heresy!!

Don't worry. The manga is a generally pretty light-hearted romance comedy. Read it if you're looking for a merry fun time.

Just choose to be a female, Kuroumaru. You're already a maiden in heart, might as well go the distance.

Kirie supporting Kuroumaru is cute :lol:

I look forward to the next chapter.
 
Nearly caught up with Soma. Very happy with the result of the 3 way match!

I completely forgot Hishoko existed but shes pretty cute when shes handling her biz. Another one added to the harem hahahehehe.

Recently acquired an HTC One M8... Should I grab that MangaBox app?
I will miss my Motorola photon... decommissioning my old phone due to severe damage.

Kirie is just fake supporting Kuromaru. She's after Touta's balls herself.
