Prison School 174
So much tension here, though I kind of doubt Chiyo will go all the way, I'm sure she has some consulted reason to have taken off the first layer.
This is the truth.

Chairmain will get better when he sees an bare ass.
Also the PBR vs Medusa dialogue was hilarious.

***Question***
The WSJ double issue means that next week (or officially next, next Monday) there won't be any chapters correct?
or is it the other way around..... As in there will be chapters next week (or next, next Monday) but the week after that will be on break

rip budding romance (again)
Official dates:
Issue 21 comes out next week on the 20th, regular issue.
Issue 22/23 comes out on the 27th, the start of Golden Week. Double Issue.
2 weeks break.
Then Issue 24 come out on May 11th, and then it's every Monday till the next holiday.
So officially, we are getting chapters next week, the week after, but not the week after that.
Edit: got some of he dates wrong, since Golden Week does count as a week also.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I think they'll change their tune at some point after a bunch of agonizing thoughts about replacing Akitsuki. They really didn't even think about it to this point.
Wow. That thread is a big graveyard.
That makes a shocking amount of sense!
It's not like I care about him or anything!

thanks
Seems too early to kill off Roggy and Satellite. Especially since this issue is the latter's first ranking (but yeah I don't see it lasting long).

I don't see anything else they could axe though, and series that start rock bottom pretty much never rise

Also, remember that while the TOC rankings are around 8 issues ago, the Jump editorial staff gets ranking info weeks earlier

All these while and coming from someone eho hasn't read the manga, I thought there was an alter ego in Soma similar to Yugi.

BLack Clover doing wonders, hope we truly are getting two consecutive weeks of color pages for it.
This is the first I've heard of it, but a highly rated cooking manga is something I gotta check out
I used to think it was a pretty dumb nickname myself. Like, i'd see some MangaGAF members mention that, and I figured they were trolling, or something (Shokugeki no Soma is a cooking man!!). But, no they weren't trolling. I get it now.
The thing is, they are similar. They're pretty obvious parallels of each other. (Similar upbringings, similar aesthetic, and they're both incredible hungry for the win). Of course, there are plenty of differences between the 2 characters, but not enough to preclude them from being intentional parallels of each other.
The nickname makes sense.

No. Its just a guy who is nothing like him and doesn't look like him. People just latch onto weird epithets even when they don't make any sense. Soma comes from a small local restaurant and has no specialty beyond shonen hot-bloodedness. Kurokiba (the guy they're calling Dark Soma) is a random foreigner who specializes in seafood who only gets hot-blooded when he's cooking.
They aren't similar in any way, shape or form. They're not even opposites.

Inside Mari
Obviously Mari is and has been crazy, but this shit again, got weird as fuck. Not that I expected differently from the author, fuck. There's only two options here: Mari's nuts (likely) or dude gave his clone(?) a handy-J. I don't know if that counts as masturbation or what.

I don't particularly care for what weird nicknames people come up for Soma characters, no matter how little sense they make, but
Really?
What we've seen from Kurokiba's childhood had him being verbally abused while working in his first kitchen an treated like shit, and looking scared out of his kind that he'll be thrown to the streets if he doesn't get better. This continued until eventually he became so hyper competitive that he became the best cook in that restaurant till Alice came along and they had their 2 year battle and he started to respect her.
Soma on the other hand went to his dad and told him he wanted to become a cook one day, and his dad treated it nonchalantly at first, but began to take him seriously the more growth Soma displayed over the years.
In what way are their upbringing similar?
Also, Kurokiba wears a bandana that switches him to his hyper-berserker mode (a gimmick Soma never had) and Soma wears a headband. That is where their aesthetic similarities begin and end.
As for wanting to win ... is there any character in this series that doesn't want that? If anything, Soma's character is more about accepting loss and learning from it in order to better himself and refine his lack of skill, while Kurokiba is all about wanting to have exciting, hot blooded matches.
They aren't even remotely similar.

There's literally nothing similar about them beyond being competitive chefs, which is everyone at the entire school. Its like saying Orochimaru is Evil Naruto just because they are ninjas with dead parents even though virtually everyone in Naruto is a ninja with dead parents.

Its unfortunate Alice had to be worfed to make him look good
especially since she already got a mandatory one so she could lose to the MC

At least she'll always be remembered unlike half of the other cast
That's actually a pretty good idea. Might tackle it next, but first:
Pandora Hearts 1-10
This stuff is pretty great. The beginning was kinda confusing and a bit unfocused in terms of storytelling, but the manga manages to turn the setting around and establishes a pretty interesting foundation. It's also refreshing having a MC that is called out for his creepy cheeriness and the hints of madness he has shown so far seem intriguing. So although the first few chapters were kinda messy, I'm definitely keeping with it now.
And
Prison School 173-174
Damn. The dialogue between Medusahead and the PBR was awesome.
And Kyoshi saying I'm not that big a pervert. was also pretty hilarious.
And this standoff is reaching DB levels. This is almost like Freeze vs. Goku on Namek, only more intense.

which one is dark soma? Kurokiba or Hayama?
I like Kurokiba but I really don't like Hayama lol
edit: nvm saw the post above. I don't really think Dark Soma makes sense, they're really nothing alike. He's still better than Hayama though.

Onizuka is by far my favorite anime ever. I wish they would finish translating the in between chapters ;_;
Which manga is this? I forget the name lol
Now everyone wants to pay attention since Yoko-sama is doing it, tried preaching it when the first chapter came out but no one cared about it ;_;. Stuff is made out of gold.
