Naruto 643
That's a nice moment between father and son.
Still waiting for when the two Kurama's combine into one for Naruto's power boost.
One Piece 718
Burgess sighting. Disappeared for a while there after he revealed himself.
Not happy about missing Law having a rough time with Doflamingo. Hope they show more of it in the anime.

Agreed, though I wonder how the series would be paced if it was weekly instead of monthly

Hayachine! 01
After the death's of their parents, three siblings move out to the countryside to get taken care by their uncle. There they meet an eccentric young girl whose's also living with their uncle.
It's a slice of life series but it's pretty entertaining and funny. The first chapter was pretty great for introducing the countryside but it had a nice touch of energy that makes me want to keep reading more. It's definitely another feel good series too.

Shuuden na Kankei 01
An overworked young girl takes the last train home and meets the older train station worker. These meetings ends up being the bright spot in her days.
This is cute. Really cute. A sweet romantic story of these two meeting and being clumsy around each other.
Quoting this so I can check it out later.
Seems like something I would love to read. Oh how I *yearn* for good romantic stories that doesn't involve super pretty boys getting together with super pretty girls.

Better late then never
Really liked this chapter, so many interesting morsels and great set up. This arc is shaping up to be one of the better ones in the series.

Throw me into this camp as well.
It really fits the overall somber mood of the series, imo.
One Piece
Here we go, a scan that's in the right order, looks clean, and is decently translated.
Good chapter. Everything is coming together, with the crew converging all on the same spots.
Art Art Fruit huh?
Doflamingo implied the suspicion that the losers at the tournament are turned into toys (minus Bellamy). Poor Moocy...

20th Century Boys (Vol. 2-4)
Well, that's all the volumes I own. 'Bout time got around to reading them. I've read Urasawa before, and I really liked him back when I watched Monster, but he has a habit of introducing far too many characters. I'm worried that I won't end up loving this series by the end.

20th Century Boys is definitely one of the best/worst examples of an author fucking around too much. I lost count on the shitty "A is friend but no it's B but wait it's C no it's motherfucking A" and "Ooo this shit is important, but wait while I introduce C and D so you need to wait on the important stuff. Once I finish with C and D, I will go ahead with E and F" maneuvers he pulled off in 20th Century Boys.
All that trouble, and the ending of that manga was so underwhelming as well. "So why the fuck should I care" was literally my respond when I read it and the identity of Friend is revealed (after so many ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP revisions.)
Goddamn.
She is going to be so disappointed when she meets Nitta.
Suicide Island: 61
Damn, the village is balling with all these new prospective resources. More group hunting and philosophizing about their place and role in life is always good too.
I'm going to cherish the good times because I just know Kai and/or Sawada are gonna fuck shit up.

Just finished Ichigo 100% and is it true the ending was chosen by popular vote? What a horrible way to decide an ending.

What?
If anything the author actually received fierce backlash over its ending.
I like her gall of actually not choosing the character most people actually pining on to win. And the best girl won anyways

Got my P.O.P Sabo figure in! Can't wait for this brah to show up in present time.

Well just finished a bunch of romance comedies. Looking for more. Any recommendations?
Here's what I've read and liked:

Ichigo 100%
Kimi no Iru Machi
Love Hina
Mail Kano
Negima! Magister Negi Magi
Suzuka
Also read A.I. Love You and Chobits. Currently on Princess Lucia. Read a bunch of Pastel up to Vol. 11. a few years back. Forgot most of it already. On a pause with Oh My Goddess! as well -- and I like this series a lot!

Oda has so much to cover its ridiculous. What is Dragon planning? What did Robin learn from him? When are the revolutionaries story going to take place? Are Roger and Dragon related? Too many to list them all. Why does everyone fear and run away (even during Ace's execution when EVERYONE was there) when Shanks shows up? He has one arm and no devil fruit power.
I can't wait to see Sabo. That's going to be huge.
I have a theory about what's going to happen. We'll know if I'm close very soon. I think Luffy is going to win that devil fruit but keep it. You know who he's going to give it to without a moments hesitation? Sabo, his third brother.

Maou na Ano Ko to Murabito A 01
A high school story between a demon king, a hero and the regular villager that's in between them.
Interesting setting. Basically like a training ground for all the jRPG characters you'll meet right down to the random villager. There's a bunch of RPG jokes tossed around which makes it entertaining and the characters are pretty fun.
Pretty much feels like taking the characteristics of your jRPG characters and putting them into a high school setting. Will keep reading.

Gogo Monster (Vol. 1; End)
And with this, Matsumoto Taiyou continues to be one of my favorite mangaka. That was great. Matsumoto is able to capture the creativity and imagination that only children have. Every one of his pieces is fantastically unique with great art. He may not be as technically skilled as some, but he is able to capture my attention with 10 pages in a row without text. That's very impressive in a manga that is completely about character interaction.
Andromeda Stories (Vol. 2)
This continues to be quite interesting, but I still have some issues with the panel construction. Sometimes it is a bit hard to follow.
Yotsuba& (Vol. 1)
I hadn't read much of this series, but it's been a couple years, so I decided to start over. I really wish that I knew someone as cheerful as Yotsuba.

One Piece has been garbage for a good while now.
After Whitebeard died it lost all of its wonder and sense of adventure

This current arc has more sense of adventure and wonder than last 3 arcs before the time skip.
Even FI had more and that was not that great .
As for Tathanen post i agree with certain things but not others for eg Luffy almost destroy something the size of a small island rather impressive .
One Piece
Well dang, I just realized. All those "one-off fodders" from the tournament aren't one-offs, they'll be reappearing.. as toys.
I wonder if their designs will be based on their fighting abilities. I'm really looking forward to this now. Like the punch king, the headbutt dude fighting Luffy, Bellamy even? Whoa.

Oh great.
Another fodderized army serving to pad more 100 chapters. Introducing A...! Strawhats beats A! Introducing B...! Strawhats beats B! Introducing C...! Strawhats beats C!
Urgh... it's a mistake to read One Piece one chapter at a time. Probably best to just read it per arc.

As i said most people do .
Then Oda take way more breaks than he used which makes things seem even longer .
