But seriously, that girl ain't right.

Great color page, great chapter. Loved Deku telling Endeavor off. I do expect Deku to lose though, and Todoroki to advance to the final. Unless Todoroki surrenders because he's forced to use his fire or something

You can bet on that.

Finished KNIM already (read it in ongoing form from chapter 90 till the end) - it was not so rage-inducing like some people thought. (I think I read all Seo's manga to be honest...)

And Berserk - I think last time I read all available chapters two years ago, don't want to come back for it for now. But I began readin Kingdom (first hundred chapters for now) - this one reminds me about Berserk quite a lot.
Ah good, so my work was already done!
Part of the fun of KNIM is reading people reactions to it.

Two years ago?
You probably have some 5 chapters to catch up with!....

...



But yes, Kingdom is a good series, thought outside of the violence I don't find it too similar to Berserk, its really more of a shounen, to a negative point in my view. But a good series none the less.

IWelcome and don't worry about your English it's good and if it was bad then it means you are better than me because i've not noticed and i post here often so people are used to bad English.

Welcome~
Don't worry i'm sure my English is the worst one in here (lol)
Have you read Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer?
You two are crazy, your English is more than fine.

Oh yeah, hypest mahjong manga ever
Hypest politics manga as well!
Oh, i thought it's going to be free.
I wish, if that was the case I'd be morally obligated to go.
Even something along the lines of 1000 yen would had been an acceptable price to go and check it out, 2500 is "I could buy a game/figure with that" money.

My Hero Academia ch37

I'd hope for the outcome to not be too obvious, but it's damn clear that Midoriya is going to face Bakugou afterwards, so...

Would this convince you to go? (NSFW Twitter)

Don't force yourself to go if you really don't want to.
 
Seraph of the End 32

Putting Mika on the page when hes not in the chapter, weeping.

Fun chapter, always figured there would be a focus on the battle between the human members and families, and it was about time to see it happen. I wonder if he will get defeated though.

Otherwise, Yu better save Guren. I think its too soon for him to die, he has so much he could still teach Yu.

I'll sponsor your encounter with Mizuryu Kei. Just give me a paypal and I'll send 2500 yen your way.
This could be the life-changing experience passing you by. And an occasion to get a dope autograph from the maestro!

Has Mob Psycho 100 been releasing at a slower pace recently, or is it just me?
 
Do You Like Big Girls? Ch. 14
Didn't think we'd see the hospitalized team manager again. Even if it was for a few panels.

The cat I named after Lain turned out to be a mounting specialist somehow, he has all the mounting skills. He mounts all the time nonstop.

Were almost to 100. Great battle Great Hyuse. I need a replay of Yuma's skill, how did he defeat her so fast.

Also want more on Hyuse. He was so shocked over what Kyosuke said.

Me versus everyone who criticize roquefort and bleu

Also, I have that same beer jacket.


No I don't, I just put the bottles in my pockets.
 
Gakkyu Hotei 17
Fantastic chapter. Sarutobi, Inugami, and Higashide would make a great team. Their items that have been introduced are good too, think I like the backpack just as much as the weapons used to break the shed. And also, how fast Sarutobi arrived on the scene.

Tento, wow.

Looks Like Gakkyu Hotei is wrapping up

Curse of US Jump claims another victim

I love how people keep thinking that series with mangaka who had a previously popular work are given more leeway or are more likely to suceed in Jump, even though this is clearly not the case (beyond the fact that a popular creator will obviously have to have some sort of talent I mean)
 
Toriko

We needed it to be inspired from Dragonball, why :( It was so good when it was original travel via ChooChoo Chomper. And getting rid of Terry, big mistake. I hope it wasnt because he is too lazy to keep drawing the big creatures.

Nisekoi

Yes I cant wait for drama on this Onodera Ichijou thing. I love how determined both can get.

Pretty much only Toriyama would get a pass even if his work was shit.
 

BatDan

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
How long until the curse claims Black Clover?
Its first ranking was in the middle but it could drop fast. Same with Gakkyu Hotei (in the middle, now dying)

Gakkyu is all but dead, BC is to early to tell with only one ranking.

I know it's dead, that's why I said "dying". Not quite dead until we have confirmation. But it's clearly dying at this point.

I imagine Black Clover's middling rank comes from kids seeing that it's an obvious Naruto clone but with magic. We'll see if it gets better

A couple weeks ago, I read someone judging the new Jump series by their "portrayal of women" and believing Kagamigami had the best shot (in International Jump) because it had the most positive woman, and that Black Clover didn't have a chance. That's adorable that you think most manga readers judge the series in a magazine for young boys by how they portray women. Keep having that viewpoint, it's clearly healthy.

I can't tell the difference between Yuichiro and Yoichi anymore.
Their names are similar and they look more and more similar with each passing chapter.

Domestic na Kanojo 35.5

The backstory was cute. And Ruri as well :p


Okusama ga Seito Kaichou! 16

It's the vice president that got the present lol.
 
BLue Exorcist 66

I hate that it felt like there was some big reveal with Lucifer there at the end but it seemed to have gone over my head. Cant wait for the book release so I can read it all in a huge chunk.

Im glad Shima keeps his friends.

Domestic na Kanojo 34 and 35.5

So much Rui. That special chapter though, so lewd. Thought I was reading a Seo manga for a moment there.
 
Chinggis Khan v1-5


This isn't the most historically accurate thing I've read but it's a pretty good primer on the life and death of the a forged in neverending brutality. He who paved the very bedrock of the worlds largest empire in human history with the very genocidal thuggishness that surrounded his entire upbringing.

My only complaint with this is I felt it kinda whitewashed just how brutal the Mongol Empire was but then again I'm not an expert on the subject matter and even then, in the spite of my misgivings this was no less a compelling read from start to finish.

Now, onto Sangokushi…

You (and anyone interested in the Khans) owe it to yourself to listen to Hardcore History: Wrath of the Khans. Quick, while it's still free.

Every single podcast Carlin did on the topic was liquid gold, and he most certainly doesn't whitewash the absolutely insane genocidal levels that the mongols reached. Or the greater strategical aspect of everything.

Think he did 5 shows on the mongols. All should still be free.

My Hero Academia 36-37

The "SHE'S A GIRL" motif of the fight rubbed me the wrong way but I will admit she held her own and gave it a real strong effort. How she reacted and composed herself in the next chapter was very good though and I hope she has a bright future ahead of her. I really want Uraraka to be a big player in this manga and not just thrown to the bushes like so many female characters are in shonen IPs. The Deku and Endeavor encounter was pretty good too. However it feels weird that we are getting the Deku vs. Todoroki fight now as it feels like it should be the climax of this arc, not the midpoint. I don't think a Deku vs. Bakugan encounter, if that's the end game here, would be meaningful this soon after their training fight in the previous arc.

I know it's dead, that's why I said "dying". Not quite dead until we have confirmation. But it's clearly dying at this point.

While its naive, I don't think its entirely without merit. Despite the fact that being a property targeted towards boys doesn't mean you have to treat your female characters like shit, I think having non-shit female characters is a good way to broaden your appeal. I think part of the reason Attack on Titan is so popular with women, or at least that's the impression I get, is that even as flawed as characters like Mikasa or Annie are, they still stand above a lot of other female characters is similar manga.
