Prison School 4-20
ibffishgl8tl4lb5ufe.gif

Well I'm weak. I'm also enlightened because holy shit, this is the best prison break story in the history of any medium. So many glorious and deranged moments. All the planning coming to naught because of the chairman, the magnificent reaction faces, Hana, Gakuto's determination, Gakuto's pick up lines, Gakuto's regenerative abilities and his endless supply of glasses. I was giggling throughout. I'm glad there's so much stuff left, I will have to at least try to pace myself so as to not burn through it too fast.

This reminds me of Binbougami Ga! for some reason, might be the faces they pull. It's not as funny but it's a good read so far.

"Inio Asano and Daisuke Igarashi, on getting started in the manga industry" https://mangabrog.wordpress.com/201...shi-on-getting-started-in-the-manga-industry/

What I consider myself to have a real knack for is book design. I had a designer come up with a few options for me to choose from for What a Wonderful World and Nijigahara Holograph, but I’ve had all my other books basically made according to the way I ask for. I don’t have much confidence in the content of my manga, so I think about how to make people want my books as objects.

Based Asano.

I try to not only create climaxes in the story, but also in terms of the art. I want to communicate through the pictures. In “The Day the Festival Music Played”, the story was about a boy who manages to make it home safely in the end, but there’s also something else that I laid the groundwork for in the first three pages or so, and the payoff comes in a picture on the last page. Unfortunately, when I asked my editor about it afterwards, it turned out that he hadn’t even caught it. (laugh) I hope people will find new things with every time they read my manga.

Based Igarashi

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
Asano has incredible sense for cover design.

This is some edgy shit. I feel bad for the MC, he gets fucked in every direction. Poor fella got NTR'd and committed suicide. Now he caused 6 people misfortune and has to save these 6 peoples lives.

Also fuck that bitch, edgy fucker, and the dad. No wait fuck everyone who thinks its cool to act edgy. I hope each and everyone of those fuckers suffer immensely to the point they become fuckin mindbroken, especially that one bitch who thinks she's fuckin awesome. I hope someone teaches her true suffering by slowly and painfully making her suffer to the point of insanity.

Its not that Kuromaru is unsure of their feelings, s/he's fairly explicit in that she loves Tota. Its that she believes that men are better suited to combat than women, which is something she was initially concerned with and she's now concerned with because she doesn't want to be a burden on Touta. Apparently Kuromaru never read Negima.

Kuroumaru cares for touta. Not love. At least, that is kuroumaru's thought process on registering platonic feelings when actually it's more than platonic.

Kuroumaru knows not what kuroumaru truly wants. If not wanting to be burden, just train. Ikku already laid it out for kuroumaru.
Act like a shounen sidekick and train, improving fighting ability to remove concerns instead of being a shoujo female side character wondering whether her beloved senpai noticed her today or not.

Hm... on 2nd thought, best kuru choose male. Kuru will be rejected either way so its pointless to discuss it. I dont see the development happening.

Only kotarou and the twins had a good ending in negima. Everyone else done got sunk like the titanic or a 2hp sub vs a full health cruiser in advance wars.

She's bullied by this pretty boy but she discovers his secret and they go doki doki. Or not.

It's funny, he's like the shoujo jerkass boy and shoujo defenseless girl all rolled up into one character.

Just check this out and yes, it is really rough on edges on both the execution and the artstyle.

But it is an interesting concept. The person who commited suicide is brought back to save the 6 people who was affected by his deed.

What're you talking about? Ofc I know Kuru wants to ride Touta cowgirl style. I'm saying the problem is that kuru don't realize this as kuru is confused on feelings for Touta. Wanting some sort of bromance instead of a relationship far more intimate, kuru only denying own feelings. Feelings kuru hasnt acknowledged yet or truly understand.

Kuru only 14 years old. It's only natural kuru dont get own feelings. Sooner or later, kuru will understand that the bromance kuru wants will leave much more to be desired. Kuru will want much more than that. And at that point kuru will have to reevaluate own gender identity. I believe kuru can increase odds of happy end if choosing to be female based on what we know that so far, touta is your average hetero shounen protagonist. Keyword:hetero.

I see only heartbreak and regret if kurou sticks to being male. I don't see Ken breaking mold. This is an action fantasy shounen after all. Romance/love themes aire on backseat.

Which now brings up... Why am I even discuszing this? And who the hell is DTL?
is dtl some sort of mangagaf joke/reference that is completeky flying over my head?

It sucks that the MC was misguided and thought the misfortune would be brought upon his bullies. Little did he know he ended up bringing misfortune to people that didn't harm him in anyway.

I have to question something though. Are students that edgy like I know bullying is a big issue, but do kids actually go as far as to cut a helpless individual all over his arms. Like what? I mean in my school we have our share of fights and bullying but even then it doesn't go far.

This was why the twist is good.

Actually, the way it ended the only thing we knew pairing wise was that Nodoka and Yue didn't win the Negibowl. Everyone else was still up in the air.

Did you miss recent UQ holder! Chapters?
nobody won the negibowl. Only ones who could still be in it were chachamaru or fate (if fate swings that way). chacha nowhere in sight and fate hasnt come out of the closet if there were a closet to come out from.

DTL is Neogaf member Dedication Through Light. He's notorious for his love of BL pairings and his wildly different opinions on manga/anime compared to everyone else in the manga and anime threads.

I relate far too closely to Shiori for my own good. Besides being haunted by a long dead music legend, I mean. I've been so excited for this translation to finally begin, and now that it has, I'm just enthused for more. Especially given what I understand is to come!

The last time I've been so thoroughly sold on a concept in manga was Silver Spoon. This series just looks like it's going to be FUN.

We know he didn't have kids, we don't know if he never married or fell in love /confessed.

For them to figure out he was sterile, he had to have been, you know, trying.

It also sets up why he agreed to any sort of cloning. Perhaps it started, at least officially, as some form of IVF.

That or indeed, it is a big boss sort of thing where his genetics were blended with various females. Would explain why Tota looks different from Negi or Nagi, and why his 'sister' looks very different (and is you know, a girl).
