Man. What a rim shot of a 100th chapter. Shit is too real.

Are there any series similar to this that aren't so depressing?

Do yourself a favor and read Horimiya.

A nice feel-good shounen romcom without all the misunderstanding bullshit.

Is it depressing "this story is depressing" or depressing "this story sucks so bad it's depressing"?
A bit of both. What's happening is depressing and the story itself really isn't good enough to make it worthwhile going through all the sad stuff. Although the latest development was actually pretty sad it was kind of lessened by what happened immediately afterwards.
 
Fairy Tail 344

I was expecting 3 chapters again lol. Anyways I wish Natsu would stop messing around and just use Dragon Lightning Flame to end the fight. Also lol at loli Erza fanservice. Isn't Wendy enough Mashima?

HSDKenichi

Whoa wtf! Elder in danger? This is impossible! Would be amazing if the Elder is seriously injured though and Kenichi and the gang have to come save the Elder for a change.

Aaaaaaaw shit we finally get someone who is able to fight on par with the Elder!

This arc is going to be a lot of fun.

Majo (Witches) (Vol. 2; End)
I'm still confused. It's gorgeous, but... I'm confused about a lot of things that happened. All I know is that an old lady stores cats in her stomach. That's unhealthy.

God I love all the psychotic, aggressive eyes this manga has.

Sanae's clinical brutality was beautiful. <3

The World God Only Knows
What is this arc even doing anymore? Villain girl is too villainous to be redeemed or be believable for a elementary girl. Meanwhile we're just slowly stretching out the Tenri loves Keimi retcon. At least it wasn't a present day hijinks chapter again.


Beelzebub
Com'n, just get to Himekawa's face heel turn already! We all know its going to happen. Spending weeks on watching Oda beat up the bad guy uselessly is just boring.


Yamada
I don't like the memory loss plotline. We all know its going to get reverted (big props though if it doesn't and Yamada just has to remake all his friendships).

Fairy Tail
Did... did Erza need to strip to verify that she turned into a child? Wouldn't she just have known? Or considering her normal proportions, looked down? Me thinks losing 20 pounds off your chest is fairly noticeable.

Actually, wait, isn't her armor her magic? Couldn't she just have dissipated her clothing or changed into something else magically?

Kuroko no Basket 219-222

Finally time to witness the GoM's teamwork falling apart spectacularly.

Surprised to see that Murasakibara was the trigger to push Akashi into having his sharingan eyes. While it can't be forgotten about Akashi's pressure to always win, I'll still thank Mura for his current psycho appearance.

Kise is losing interest fast and while Midorima still seems normal at least, the cracks are already starting to show.

And Aomine's conversation with Kuroko was honestly pretty sad.

The Breaker: New Waves 1-38

Yeah, this started off pretty slow but when Shioon gets into that mindset, just goddamn. I honestly hope they don't find a way to fix Shioon's Broken Ki center just so he'll be forced to dominate his foes through sheer strength and willpower alone, the later which he has an almost infinite amount of. Jinie's grandfather is a real piece of shit (even by this series standards) so I hope he gets what's coming to him (along with the bald wannabe rapist thug and a larg chunk of the rest of the cast really.)

also please dont tell me they're gonna pull some sort of revive shiho bullshit :/

Kingdom is really good. Ouki is an amazing character.
Yeah, he's pretty fuckin badass.
 
Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei v1 4-5 (ln)

After the long chapter 3, 4 and 5 felt so short. But I think I really want to see this animated someday, Tetsuya continues to impress time and time again and the Kendo/his dodging would be amazing to see. Moral committee happenings are intriguing and the cast grows even better with the addition of Morisaki Shun.

Will start v2 to see what happens, need explanation for the dodging and more tech stuff with the dual CADs.

Yamada and the Seven Witches 68

Yamada + any guy = a weirdly entertaining team.

However, did Tamaki not kiss Saionji? How does her power work if it doesn't need a kiss?

Takeru plays Phoenix Wright... is this normal for kids in Japan or is he crazy. I really liked the countryside chapter (it's the one with the watermelon). Also it makes sense that Moriaki is a baseball fan.

Kon is in the center of the colorspread so all is well.

Shokugeki no Soma is out

Hahahaha, well, sure! I'll take it. I just wish they elaborated some more on the actual dish, but sure!

The reveal at the end is so... so...... shonen. That's all I can really say about it :lol, I don't mind. It's just silly.

I dunno, I kind of guessed the reveal. Not that shounen. :p

Rest of the chapter is pretty fucking shounen though. :p
 
Shokugeki no Soma

So he did 200 in the limited time to pass and show off that swag. Also bonus points for him not saying his "nothing to it" line there since it was at the skin of his teeth

and LOL at the ending.

...a more pressing question is why don't they fucking ask Saionji why she's a huge dick who erases everyone's mind?

Soma

Apparently Alice was participating in a wet t-shirt contest before she started cooking. Or she's a female in Soma.

So I guess she's a sister? Or a member of a branch family who's cooking powers have been sealed to prevent other rival culinary schools from stealing their knowledge?

Why are you expecting logic here?

I didn't mean it in the surprise sense, just what it actually was and even presenting it as a reveal at all. That's the Jump stuff right there.

Now I wonder what is the true relationship here

Blood Sisters (same parents/different parent)
Adopted
Some relative (cousin, etc)
Branch family


Now Soma has 2 of them to impress with his hot blooded nature :p

Could be given Erina talked down to her like she's a commoner

Doesn't seem like Alice is a 10th level tsundere master like Erina. She's just garden variety arrogant, which describes everyone at the school other than the people who live in Soma's dorm.

And his self-proclaimed rivals (had to beat one before they changed though).

Also yea she's a lot more direct/honest and another arrogant one that Soma will impress :p

Anyways another strong rival has appeared so this should be fun.

I do like that the Italian rival dude is showed in the same role as tadokoro.

Shows you what kind of character he's supposed to be. :p
 

BatDan

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
Shokugeki no Soma

Gordon Ramsey would not approve. Still, that was nuts.
Another Nakiri huh? This will be interesting.

One-Punch Man (Raw)

We're finally nearing the end of this arc. Murata's art continues to amaze.
