The digital volumes or the digital magazine?
I believe they did have one of the flip book chapters in ESJ a while back when they first added One Punch Man. But the volumes probably won't have them since Murata redraws those chapters to be much shorter.
Could be true, thogh part of the job is being able to chat down customers, she couldn't even start to do that.
I assume it wouldn't work with most regular customers, especially if the booze isn't worth it anymore.

Good speech, made Sei look foolish, though of course he didn't need to dethrone Sei to make his speech a reality. Really wondering where this conversation will go.

Uuh, romance is heavy in these chapters, quite unusual. The chances of Aki and his girlfriend getting back together are pretty high since they both now get that they broke up for the dumbest reasons/misunderstandings.
Aki avoided her because he thought from her text messages that she was really mad at getting clawed in the face by Mill, and she on the other hand never got the guts to go and explain that she's not mad at all.

Hmm, I just read a bunch of first chapters in order to add some variety to my 'discovering manga' plate, but it may have been an error. Too much titles and I risk dropping everything and, let's face it, everything is not suited for me.
So...
Seraph of the End 001
Pretty solid, a good read, unfortunate tendency to give in to overgrimdarktisis, but good nonetheless. Only problem is, I have no real interest in any of it. I don't really give a fuck.
My Hero Academia 001-003
For a seemingly so cheerful title, everything is so sad, the hero is constantly whining, his schoolmate hates is guts because reasons, 90% of the heros are huge dicks.
World Trigger 001
Relatively interesting premise, good cliffhanger, the new kid in town is interesting, but I can't say I hugely want to read the following episodes.
So a bunch of solid 'Maybe the book will catch me later on' /10

I remember it being average, though if you like over the top comedy, might as well give it a read.
Gurren lagan final episode on big screen? Nice.

I don't she'd win put either way I believe this fight will affect Tornado more mentally (as in develop her character) then with Fubuki

Prison School isn't smut. It's too good.
Welp. I know it's a PV, but I guess this is as far as it'll go on how much the anime shows.

Only 3 chapters left. I wonder if they'll resolve Pudding's transport issues, or whether it'll just round off with more slice of life and slices of cake. Either way, the insulin's on standby.

plz no bully chocolate. Well, it's fine if it means she actually gets to be the centre of attention for a change.

Makes you scared about how Prison School will be handled, doesn't it?
Nah I think being smut also means that you're garbage with no substance besides showing boobs/ass/whatever.
So like Prison School.

Damn shots fired.😎
It's going to be another Terra Formars isn't it (just hopefully less lazy looking censors).

Don't be hopeful considering the series almost goes full hentai.
The Vice President will definitely be butchered by censors, everything that deals with heavy ecchi scenes I fear will be censored crazily. I hate to say this but Prison School is gonna be in a much tighter position than Terra Formars. Have you seen shinmai maou no testament anime because that series is heavily censored due to the ecchi scenes.
Fuck this is probably a series that shouldn't be adapted because if it has a shitty director it will turn out bad. Plus animating Prison School is not a easy task that anyone can do.
Please turn out good.
And people say I'm crazy...
One-Punch Man 001-003
A fucking good surprise. After my mixed feelings toward My Hero Academia and having no real interest in seeing a Japanese take on super hero books, I must say that this was a delight to read.
Very funny, nonsensical, art that is consistently good to look at... the book only lacks a plot, the monster of the week feel is a little too strong in this one for now.
Very, very cool. Added to my must read list.

You're just trying to be hurtful.
It has barely reached its climax, so it's not over yet. No new crewmate either.

Seriously though why hasn't the Staff been announced for Prison School? It's getting close to summer and we still don't know who the Studio is. Many series have already been announced on staff and what not, but Prison School hasn't. Plus the PV didn't show anything of real value.
The worst case scenario is that the Studio isn't ready or something. I really don't want to be so pessimistic but man is it nerve racking that we still don't have any info about it.

Prison School 001-002
Smut or not ? Garbage or not ? The real question to me is how do you English speaking readers make any sense of it ? I mean, the first episode is butchered, plain and simple. With entire pages making no sense, Japanese reading order that magically transforms to English reading order, typos. Stunning.
It's sad because this debut is not as smut as the recent episode I flipped through (which was a very tiny distance from being called straight up porn), the gags are funny and the mystery is (very) relatively interesting.

I hope the author surprises me and let's her win..cuz as it is now I feel it's being set up to be the cliche as fk scenario of she loses but gives one hell of a fight that everyone in the crowd and even her opponent are surprised by and compliments her or something

The early translations are awful. You just have to bear with it.
Double nah.
The smut in Prison School doesn't preclude it from being a good manga. I guarantee you that most of the people in this thread read it for the humor and elaborate setups, not the smut.
And the art? The art is superb.
smh,
Let me say why Prison School is a 10/10 manga without mentioning the fan-service once.
Characters
The characters are bizarre and have their own quirks. Any anime fan knows a Gakuto. Everyone is so oblivious and gullible in a hilarious way (see the Kiyoshi bottle plan to get a girl to kiss you: bring a bottle, cut the top of it, then VERY QUICKLY TAKE YOUR PANTS OFF AND COVER YOUR DICK WITH THE BOTTLE. Works every time.)
Humour
The humour is excellent. This is a manga that you will smile so hard and sometimes legitimately crack up. The serious art makes everything so silly sometimes. You can't not love Andre
Plot
Despite all this, it manages to stay grounded somewhat and you ACTUALLY CARE about what happens to everyone. There is a plot, and its not just tits and ass I'm talking about. You WILL get strung along, reading many chapters at a time because its actually pretty engrossing.
There are classic manga tropes like "misunderstandings" but they are played perfectly - they aren't frustrating and play up the humour. A lot of Prison School reads like a satire of other manga.
Art
You already know, its super good!!
TLDR; Prison School is a masterpiece of a manga despite it also blatantly being porn.
The first half is definitely hit and miss. There are some great moments, but it's held back by the Vice Presidents excessive fanservice and lack of direction.
It doesn't really take off until the 2nd half, where more characters introduced, the smut is dialed down (or jacked up for humor), a stronger plotline is presented and the VP's presence is significantly reduced.

Yeah, I also didn't reach that "2nd half" and also dropped it time ago, I have to try again.
