Oh, I won't lose sleep over it (nor even bother to register there, like I said), certainly not for something like Naruto. But overall, it always bothers me a bit when assumptions or internet lore somehow become "accepted fact", and that happens fairly often with video games / comics / animation from Japan, for obvious reasons...
Kazuki Makes Love Happen?! at ALL-BOYS High School 37
I cared so little I forgot to make post yesterday. Toudouin is where it's at.

Either next week or the week after will be its last. Im glad my four are definitely not Red Ogre or the prep (Uozumi is probably just framed and the bat isnt his, Higashide is impossible, Sarutobi and Inugami are clearly not the prep), so for me any outcome will be fantastic end.
Teacher feels possible, but they are probably not Red Ogre. Will be interesting if Tento is Red Ogre, but is not the prep.
I wonder if he'd make a crazy face like she does.

Wow, you hate Yu that much?
yet to redeem himself. he left a very bad impression on me from the beginning.
and he hasn't helped himself since.
I don't care if Kazuki gets it on with a girl or a boy, makes no difference to me.
Just. Not. Yu.
Anyone. But. Yu.

I remember somehow finding out about this one years ago when it was at 20-something chapters and really liked it back then. And now I remembered it again, after all this time, and decided to read it from beginning to end.
And it was fucking awesome. Shame I won't find another manga like this in a while (if ever) since it was so weird, but especially cause it's kind of hard to say why I liked it so much. I guess it's the combination of action, romance, actually surprisingly funny humor and all the weird shit

Yuno saving his Asta yet again. Lovely. I hope they have some rivalry thing going on in this dungeon to see who reaches it first. IT will be
Luck should have stayed as without him, Asta and Noelle, seems to have no long range magician on their side. Asta can only reflect or do closeups and Noelle seems more suited to defense tactics. They are pretty unbalanced duo.

Taku must be coming back super changed or something if the writer is still keeping him in secret. At least we had Isami Aldini who gets the best bro award.
How can people find Prince of Smoke boring? He had one of the best scenes in the chapter!
Its 4 weeks, what do you think - he's gonna come back with a beard and muscles?

That is probably at the bottom of the list of "Power ups Luffy should get"

Kingdom 240-351
Yotanwa all "silently accept that your names shall be etched into history as the vanquished."
Author could most certainly do with less "OMG IMMINENT AND UNESCAPABLE DANGERRR.... good thing that i had a Master Plan all lined up to deal with this exact prob at this precise moment".
Cuz really, lost count of how many times that happened by now.
To kingdom's credit, the way the story is told, i care not one iota for who wins. Errybody gets development.

Akane once again outshining everyone else that she makes all the other girls seem irrelevant.
Not even shocking at this point since she's been doing that since her very first appearance in chapter 1.
I love that line, that was her best to date.
Did you get hyped when Mou Bu faced off with the Kan Mei ? Or when Kanki took the head of the Han commander through an ingenious plan?

D-Gray Man Vol 5
Krory's arc has finally come to an end and he's finally found a purpose to live on, to hunt Akuma as a Exorcist for Eliade. I really love how gentle and sensitive Krory is and his interactions with the gang. Finally Tyki is introduced who's a handsome bastard, I mean the dude has some serious style going on. It seems he loves having a double identity as a human and Noah though. The war that was was currently going on did happen quite faster than the anime, which I'm neutral about. Though I'm glad I did watch the anime though since it was quite good. Anyways we have Allen's group heading for Japan to find the Marshall. Also it seems Lenalee is a bit worried about Allen considering she had that weird dream about him drowning in the water with destroyed buildings surrounding him. That's some weird dream, I wonder how it's gonna connect to the story later on. Yeah I need some more Allen and Lenalee interactions. It seems in the next vol Allen's group are gonna fight hordes of Akumas.
Road looking great as ever.😎

I have a surprise for you - read Nickelodeon and other stuff from Douman Seiman.

Kyou no Asuka Show ch 1-3
Charming already in a real quirky way. Weird girl.

Most Dowman Sayman series are similar in humor, quirkiness and writing. If you haven't done so, I suggest you check out Nickelodeon, and if you don't mind smut, Oddman 11 and the Sexual Instinct series.
I'm pretty sure Inside Mari is still ongoing, but do read it. After all, what's the worst that could happen? Going from its premise, it looks like a perfectly innocent romance comedy~

Wowwwww. Clever censoring for dicks though!
A lot of these super pretty scenery shots are probably traced, but they are so beautiful.

One Piece
Fourth Gear is cool, but I was hoping for something that could be used in conjunction with the other gears, like how Luffy has used Second and Third Gear in tandem.
I will say this though, seeing Luffy say "Fourth Gear" alone was pretty hype.
Food Smut
Does this mean every character is going to be drawn with a more serious face from now on?
World Trigger
A moderately pleasant read as usual. I've pretty much given up on ever being truly excited by this series.
My Hero Academia
I think this is the first time I've ever discussed this manga, so let me give my overview first.
It's a lot of fun so far. The characters are enjoyable, and the plot is starting to feel like it has a sense of direction. But this is the first year. It's WAY too early to be hyping this up as some people seem to. 40 chapters in to One Piece, Luffy had just beaten Captain Kuro. In Naruto, the Chunin exams hadn't even started yet. Even Bleach had yet to become the horrific mess it is now.
That said, this chapter was at least interesting for subverting the expectation of Deku winning. My guess is the next arc is All Might starts training Deku to not kill himself with every attack.

Yeah, you know, maybe I should have checked out the other works of the mangaka.
Lol. Thanks!
Oyasumi Punpun END
I actually finished this over the weekend, but wanted some time to think things over as well as reread a few chapters. Some of this was a little too familiar, which honestly made it difficult to read at points, but I don't regret it, and I won't ever forget it. This was something special. Something wonderfully, horribly special.
I need something lighter to dive into next. :[

Don't miss Inio Asano's interview, as it clears up a lot of confusion concerning the manga.
I suggest you read Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou next if you want a calming read, or Jitsu wa Watashi wa if you're looking for a more comedic one.
So a while back I asked for recs for some good romance in manga (whether its action with a side of romance or just a romance manga in general) and I got these recs. I haven't gotten around to reading them but anyone else have any other suggestions before I delve in? (Though it seems I might have enough already here)
- Molester Man
- Baby Steps
- Rough
- Koharu no Hibi
- Majikoi
- Lovely Complex
- Kimi ni Todoke
- Kamisama Hajimemashita
- Love so Life
- Faster than a Kiss
- Platform
- Jitsu wa Watashi wa
- Tasogare Otome x Amnesia
- Yandere Kanojo
- Hi Score Girl
- Boys on the Run

Baby Steps is mostly sport manga (it's really good at it), so there is not so much romance.
Definitely go for Honey and Clover (I will always advice anime, cause soundtrack is majestic), but manga should still be good.
Then there is Kimi no Iru Machi, but it has very fun reputation here)
Oysumi Punpun is great romance too...
And read Medaka Box for Kumagawa's romance. The scene about the stars is really touching.
Well, you already have a pretty good list, but if you haven't read them yet, I suggest you check out Goodnight Punpun, Solanin and The Voynich Hotel as well.

That's what makes it good! There's far more to romance than just hooking up after all~

Star-san is truly impressive, never could I have anticipated such perfect reaction to such an embarrassing situation.
Kiyoshi situation is as intense as it is lewd, one more week of waiting is going to destroy me.
I was tempted to bring it up, but I didn't want people to start yelling at me =(

Definitively read Kimi No Iru Machi.
Well I know that! I'm just managing expectations.
I wish my

I'm not sure I'd want a real life girlfriend that was prone to violence, carried a baseball bat and lived in the same country as me.
Sounds like one of those situations where long-distance might be preferred.
