Lady Snowblood Vol 1
Written by Koike Kazuo, the same guy who did Lone Wolf and Cub. Basic formula: she gets hired to kill someone/gets "caught," stripped naked/kills everybody. It's a bit repetitive and very exploitative, but damn if it isn't super stylish and great looking. Guess it was an inspiration for Kill Bill, which was a turnoff for me. Oh well, you can't choose your descendents.

Looks like I was way off on the scanlation date, props to Animum.
You just want AkamexTatsumi OTP!!
I agree, Tatsumi's time with the Jager's also amplifies the mood after they die because they aren't inherently evil but rather fight for a different faction. I think Seryuu or Serieux in the new translation was always shown to be "good" just batshit crazy after modifications and trauma.

Reminds me of the hell boy in Jigoku Shoujo, also a pretty terrible idea.
Excuse me, I meant that I reached the most recent chapter there. Btw, the final arc means that it ends soon? Or on a few years?

So today is apparently "young adult taking care of whimsical child mangas that takes forever to update" day? If only yotsuba released today too for the trifecta.

Aww, what a sweet chapter. It's nice that handa has finally realised what he was searching for all along.

All hail the placebo god.

Knowing Kubo's definition of an "arc", it could take a few years.
Usually he has sagas that are comprised of arcs; this thousand year blood war is probably a saga with the same deal; so it's not that bad. It's expected for this final saga to take some years.

Sad turn of events, poor Fumi. I dont know what Shunpei ought to have done, leave the girl crying and go to Fumi or stay with her and ignore Fumi, both bad ends...

It's just a smutty revenge story. I think some of the assassinations are funny, but really that's the only positive thing I can say about it now after having some time to mull over it.

Because I love to cross-post: Run The Jewels is the best album of the year so far.

Rito finally adds his sword wielding senpai to his ever growing harem.
Saki playing matchmaker for Rin should be fun.

Cute chapter (not sure what else to say ~_~)
Another manga this week pulling off a "found the ecchi thing" trope (although I think Silver Spoon did it better). While I enjoy this bite sized chapters, I really want to see the culture festival already.

Rintarou has some pretty good expressions.
Loli is still likeable and I'm pleased with Kyouka's reappearance.

Haha, aw, that's cute.
If I'm reading the scanlator's team right, I'm guessing we have to thank akito for uploading this?

According to AP Forums, it was Chapter 292.
Meaning that Skypiea's relevance to the story strengthens.
Not sure. I found the pic on some forum when I google searched Green Bull. Apparently this chapter is the first mention of Green Bull as well.

Oh whoops, sorry, I thought it was only a cute picture of priscilla slicing fools. Didn't even see the text.
Thanks to you, dramatis and the pixiv member for this.

Yes finally a chance for Karma-kun to shine. The ending panel there with Tera just walking off and Karma commenting about it made me laugh. I think Ill miss this "pool" arc.

Hagio has perfectly created a helpless life for Jeremy where he is imprisoned and under total control of Greg. That cliffhanger could be his salvation, but seeing how adults in Hagio's world are completely incompetent, I doubt Natasha will be doing anything helpful.

Well I can handle melodrama so I don't mind that aspect that much. Beside Hagio has some really interesting ways of drawing sex scenes that are visually creative. So if the story tilts more towards that side then at least I can appreciate the visuals.

Green Bull is most likely the name of the next new Admiral .
Don't forget all the Admirals names translate into a color and animals people just don't bother with it lol .
Akainu \ Red Dog
Kizaru \ Yellow Monkey
Aokiji \ Blue Pheasant
Fujitora \ Purple Tiger also Wisteria Tiger
?????? \ Green Bull
holy shit.
Really? I also thought about that but I'm/was pretty sure we heard already the term Green Bull in One Piece before

The movie was an inspiration for Kill Bill. It's a great movie.

Your thinking of Ussop's new weapon Pop Greens or the place Green Bit(I think that was a place).
It's "Usopp".
Yeah, it was either his new Pop Greens weapon, or the current location Green Bit (which is where Law, Caesar, Doflamingo and Issho currently are).
