Spoilers usually come from 2ch, a Japanese forum. Considering One Piece's popularity in Japan, it makes sense for its spoilers to leak first.
Naruto and Bleach are released first because they're more popular to Western audiences.

At one point in time we used to get OP chapters first (during the war if i remember right ) but that was years ago.
Also it much easier to translate a Naruto and Bleach chapters compare OP which sometimes have huge amounts of text .
They take so long and translation still fucking sucks .

Yeah... I don't know if that's enough to say "GODA" though.

"GODA" is just a joke that people here have.

Personally I like this call back because it means I can continue to punch anyone that says "Skip Skypiea".
 
Oda, always proving that he's so damn awesome at sprinkling little details that become bigger plot points.

Loved hearing Murata whistle.

Assassination Classroom 48
This manga needs more Karma, he's just so badass

Ressentiment
The author of I Am a Hero and Boys on the Run, Hanazawa Kengo's first manga series Ressentiment, is a very unique piece. The title is derived from a French word, but in English means "deep-seated resentment, frustration, and hostility accompanied by a sense of being powerless to express these feelings directly." This is quite suiting. The series follows a man about 30 years old named Sakamoto Takuro who lives a pretty awful life. He works full time in a printing factory, lives with his parents, he's fat and bald, and on top of this, he's single. A friend/coworker turns him on to this game called The Unreal which is a virtual reality world that combines the worlds of all the MMOs. It's there that he starts dating an AI program named Tsukiko who is far more special than he realizes.

The world that Hanazawa builds for the setting is endlessly intriguing. Not just one world of fantasy, but a town for simulation exists simultaneously. There are punks,high schools, modern buildings, brothels, fantasy creatures, and magic in one very unique land.

The protagonist is unusual for manga because he's, frankly, a piece of shit. His life sucks and so does his personality. Upon finally having a girlfriend in this virtual world, Takuro does not know how to treat her because he's completely incompetent with women. The story luckily involves a lot of development, but Takuro is an extremely flawed character and he is all the more interesting for it. The manga is all about escapism, but not in the usual manga-centric sense because the reader does not want to be like him. How much should a person get involved with a world of his own making? Is it right to ignore the problems of the world around you for the sake of progressing in greater but fake life?

If you're interested to see a more societal critique based take on the cliche story of a man entering a digital world to escape the hardships of his personal life, check it out. It shows the positives and a whole lot of negatives for escapism which is not common for a manga in this genre.

I read this manga in two days in between my social events, but I still feel pretty uncomfortable for getting so sucked into it. It makes you feel disgusted with the unreal world of Takuro's own creation, and now... I feel the insatiable urge to go outside. Thanks for reading.

Ebi, like Takeru, doesn't want anyone finding out. When he gets too friendly at school she punches him so he won't do it again.
I'm fine there actually. The punches are the one thing about her behavior that I can link to some sort of logic and common sense.

That's pretty funny now that I think about it.

So what do you guys think of Oyasumi, Punpun? I read through to the current chapter a few weeks ago and it has to be one of the most surreal manga I've read in a long time.

These Blue Exorcist side stories are pretty hilarious. Wish we would get back to the main story, but if this is all I get, I'm happy.

The rest of the chapter is fairly straightforward, so I'm not sure what you don't understand then.

Overrated boring manga that seems to go nowhere except to show us there are even worse Manga protagonists than the guy from Nisekoi.

Art of the backgrounds is fantastic, humans look like shit.

I would say pun pun being a massive piece of shit is the entire point of the manga, unlike raku.

Also people really overstate how bad raku is. Though I haven't really been keeping up with nisekoi recently.

Punpun isn't a piece of shit, he is just a misunderstood and lost soul.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
