Angry Grimace

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Yamada

Ushio is the worst, so sucks to his assmar because Odagiri just rejected him in favor of being third-in-line for Yamada.

Duel! ch1 by Aoi Akira



Our protagonist is a girl whose motto is to always smile, but since she's pretty weak-willed she ends up being perpetually bullied by her peers, until one day she crosses the path of a beautiful fencer.

Not a bad first chapter, though most of the setup is pretty typical for a sports series. The art is nice enough, and the relationship between the two girls could be interesting. Too bad there doesn't seem to be enough interest for a translation of the following chapters.

You're surprised there's little interest in cleaning, translating and typesetting generic yuri?

Yamada and the Seven Witches 164

Entire 2nd half completely worth it to learn that Ushio gets cucked like 5 times this series.

The funniest part is that he didn't just get rejected; Odagiri rejected him in favor of herself getting cucked by Yamada (she's not even the backup option, that other girl is).

I'm guessing this person has a crush on either characters and that's why he's doing this.


Glad that you thoroughly enjoyed Part 4. The cast was indeed one of the strongest of the series, and Kira Yoshikage is a fascinating and entertaining villain, though I personally did find the pacing to be a little odd at times (probably due to the slice of life-ish atmosphere). Pearl Jam is one of my favorite stands~

As for Part 5. Well, how far are you in?

Didn't notice any pacing issues, but that might be cause I just couldn't stop reading.

I'm up to a fight between Boss and the assassin.

Part 5 premise sounds so amazing.

Dio son, Italy, GANGSTER STAR. How can you screw that up?

Giorno starts off as someone that's going between the line of good and bad, but then as soon as he joins the gang he becomes generic good guy with no personality that's always right. He's blander than Jonathan or Jotaro, at least Jonathan had this ridiculous gentleman thing going with him and Jotaro had the "stoic cool guy", Giorno has nothing.

His ability also went through a similar downgrade, at the start he could create life and also if you hit any of the things he created you'd get hit back, I'm pretty sure Araki forgot this last one cause it never happens again, and as far as creating life goes, it basically became a glorified Crazy Diamond where it's used for healing, even though there's so much more that his ability could theoretically do.

I think the only person of the cast I care about at this point is Narancia, and mostly because she's written as someone with such low IQ that I can't help but want to see her beat the odds.

Everyone else I'm just secretly hoping will get killed.

Honestly at this point I'm just reading it because I'm afraid that if I slow down I'll start procrastinating reading it and eventually drop it for weeks and thus delay catching up with the rest of the series.

Just finished reading the first four volumes of Pluto the past few days.

Very interesting. I'm liking it more than expected. Those Astro Boy references are so blatant, though. Gotta admit that I was surprised when
Atom was killed so unceremonially, especially after hyping him as the ultimate robot a few chapters before.

Gonna give a more in depth review after I order the other volumes and reread it all.

Edit: One of the things I'm most interested in is this guy. I feel like it's an overdone trope but I can't help but be curious about him.

The manga is actually a reinterpretation/reimagination of two Astro Boy episodes that ran in the 80's, "The Greatest Robot in the World" (be way of SPOILERS), thus the obvious Astroy Boy references.
Might be interesting to give a look into them after you're done with Pluto.

Hope you're enjoying it, it's probably my favourite Urasawa work from the ones I read.

Sesuji wo Pin! to ~Shikakou Kyougi Dance-bu e Youkoso~ 5

I can handle 1-3 chapters of awkward handholding, so hopefully it doesn't last too long. I don't need him to be super confident, just not like this.

I see. I thought at first that it was considered one of the better robot series since Astro Boy, not that it was a retelling. It only became somewhat clear later to me, and after taking a better look at the line under the title.

And you're right about JoJo part 5 being terrible. Just stomach it until you reach part 6.

Yeah, so much wasted potential. At least I enjoyed the fights.

Hang in there. It's almost over.

Well, Sesuji wo Pin! to has not reach that point of really getting into it's character, so that will have to wait. At some point, I think mister weird sempai will go first.

Fudatsuki no Kyoko-chan 1-10
What's this? A story about a brother and his older, vampire sister that have a ribbon talisman that is tied to her hair and is always used to full effect?

Not to bad really, at least you can feel the characters progress in a meaningfully way. Will keep reading.

Wow I love the look of the sign on the ground as Tota-nii was able to strike back. Then the panel with him having part black and part white too in that stance. How is he only kuromaru and co level, doesnt make sense.

Sekisei Inko Chapter 1


Kid started seeing a creepy surreal cresent-moon thing after he suffered a trauma-induced amnesia upon discovering the body of his female friend. And then it's mystery solving time.

Distinctive ( and good ) art is always welcome.

That twist was a lot of fun, but it feels Seo didn't think too far ahead on where to go after.

So today, while in the store to buy Umaru manga, I found out that shindoL did a Yotsuba doujins series called "Four Leaf Lover", if the covers are anything to go by they're extremely NSFW and potentially life scarring (RIP lele).

I wouldn't think that shindoL and Yotsuba would ever overlap... But here we are.

Most of us knew, even Lele I think. On the other hand, today I discovered that he made some BL HunterxHunter fanfics as a guest artist from his Patreon.

I'm pretty sure Dana was just being a smartass and not trying to give him too much credit. Touta would wreck the others at this point I think, dat Eva training is too strong.

We don't talk about this one.

Not talking about it doesn't change the fact that it exists even though it shouldn't!

If Lele didn't know before, he does now!

HxH BL?
The things Patreon makes a person do...

I blame DTL.

What's next, you're gonna tell people not to read the real end of K-ON as told in THAT IS IT? You... monster!

Yotsuba porn-doujins are a new level of despicable. Posting it is an actual bannable offense on 4chan. Really. That's the level you're at.

Yotsuba h doujins, why do they exist. I think I remember hearing Railgun's artist drawing one too.
