Cirque Arachne - 1-6 [END]

Yeah, this will definitely be a must read on my recommendations. Watching the two main leads Teti and Lotte blossom from awkward stage partners to a beautiful duo was an absolute pleasure. The "opposites attract" appeal does its work in this story, as you have Teti's overly friendly nature muscle its way through Lotte's social barrier that originally kept her interactions with others to a minimum. There's tons of fluff that leaves you begging for more until you reach the 5th chapter where everything is laid out on the table by Lotte's heart piercing confession. An incredibly sweet, artsy story with a feelgood ending.

So as I watch the HxH anime, I think "ugh it's been too long" the wait for Togashi to return from hiatus is awful how have some of you done it for years?

Forget he exists for a while.

 

[scy]

I feel like that's the best way to start a new page for this thread.

You find something else to read. Then you cry yourself to sleep until you forget, at which point he comes back and puts out some chapters. Then the whole cycle starts again.

Glad you enjoyed it. It could've used some more chapters for better pacing though.

The only real thing of note is the film that comes out on DVD this summer meaning we should get some hq subs then.

 

[Kusagari]

The anime is actually kind of helping to dull the pain.

It's nice seeing the Ant Arc animated.

The art is good enough to make up for it;

dat delicious posing and muscle definition.

That kind of why I'm marathoning the series now so I can appreciate the chimera ant arc weekly.

 

[Village]

How about reading comic books, take a break from this entire manga thing.

Comeback with a bajillion chapters to read.

 

[dakkumauji]

Shokugeki no Soma 24

Huh, didn't realize the shota was actually a girl.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Vinland Saga

Thorfinn with that martial hax.

Interesting to see that we're finally going to go to the namesake of the manga. Kinda ironic about wanting to set up a land free of slaves in america though.

The Holes by Machino Henmaru

It's been awhile since I've re-read this classic and yet it never ceases to amaze me with the deep social commentary on the self destructive nature of giving into empty pleasures. machino :bow :bow

 

[7Th]

Shokugeki no Soma 24

Huh, didn't realize the shota was actually a girl.

All that DTL is rotting your brain.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Argh goddamnit wonzo.

Now I'm getting flashbacks.

 

[dakkumauji]

The Voynich Hotel 57

The love of a maid who will defeat assassins for you.

 

[Crash Station]

7 Seeds vol 4

I'm conflicted. On one hand, this is still really boring and the winter team was just as shitty as the rest. On the other hand, the dog's story was beautiful, and I am super susceptible to stuff like that (especially at the moment). I kind of want to see where things go with the puppies, but I also kind of don't because it's still boring.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Fuck Jump editors, Gun Blaze West could've been a breakout hit.


And did Viz put Gintama on hiatus?

 

[dakkumauji]

And did Viz put Gintama on hiatus?

Hitatus, cancelled it, ended publication, whatever you call it, they did it two years ago at volume 23.

 

[BatDan]

Fuck Jump editors, Gun Blaze West could've been a breakout hit.


And did Viz put Gintama on hiatus?

Nobody was buying Gintama, so Viz cancelled publication.
Gag series don't translate well overseas. Even the Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo manga was cancelled fairly quickly despite the anime being fairly popular (I also blame Sawai for forbidding the first 8 volumes from getting released).

 

[Sir Ilpalazzo]

(I also blame Sawai for forbidding the first 8 volumes from getting released).

That's really why they were never released? Why?

 

[wonzo]

Argh goddamnit wonzo.

Now I'm getting flashbacks.

It's as deep as the holes on her body!

 

[BatDan]

That's really why they were never released? Why?

Apparently, Sawai really hates the art of the early volumes.
Similar to how we never got Parts 1 and 2 of JoJo, Araki hates the art of those arcs.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Has Mangaf regulars ever done a regular podcast?

I got curious because apparently ShockingAlberto does a regular Jumpcast.

Oh hey, I was wondering why I was getting referrals from GAF.

Yeah, this is mine. Another GAF poster, Kyou, is also on the podcast. It's cool to know we have fans here! We both read this thread and it has turned us on to more than a few manga.

 

[Stat Flow]

I fucked around and forgot it was Wednesday.

 

[Mr. Fix]

Today's Wednesday? Oh yeah.

Whatever.

 

[BatDan]

Is it next week yet? I've managed to suppress the One Piece withdrawal but it's starting to surface a bit.

 

[Kusagari]

A Wednesday without One Piece isn't a real Wednesday.

 

[Stat Flow]

The story progresses about as much as if there were a chapter, anyway.

 

[Crash Station]

My Father is a Loli 1-2

Yeah, this is pretty ridiculous. With this kind of premise, you don't really even have to do anything. The insanity just comes naturally, yet I'm still impressed by the developments of chapter 2.

 

[Mr. Fix]

The story progresses about as much as if there were a chapter, anyway.

Too easy, stat.

Anyone else staying up for Naruto spoilers? No? Okay.

 

[wonzo]

I've got some Naruto spoilers right fukken here:

Spoiler

it's still shit!

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Too easy, stat.

Anyone else staying up for Naruto spoilers? No? Okay.

I'm not staying up, but I'm at work for another couple of hours.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

I fucked around and forgot it was Wednesday.

How could you

Otoyomegatari 29

Oh my. *swoon*

Seems like things are heading towards war now. Amir's family tribe might be fighting with karluk's tribe soon.

Naruto spoilers

Spoiler

There’s some conversation involving Sasuke as they go forth toward the Juubi at the same time.

The Juubi forms a bijuu dama in the barrier, but, because it’s in the barrier, it damages itself.

Hashirama makes four mokuton bunshin, and he creates a hole in the barrier through which everyone can attack.

They finish their preparations, but Madara’s clone appears before them. Let’s do it, he says, and he tells them to wait till his real body arrives.

The Juubi forms lots of human clones to attack the ninja alliance.

Sakura uses some sort of jutsu to eradicate the clones. Naruto trembles from exhaustion while Sasuke smiles at him smugly.

This jutsu is something that requires the user to store up chakra for three years. Shizune wasn’t able to perform it.

Sakura seems to think she’s finally caught up after all this time. Sakura gets distracted, and the Juubi attacks, but Naruto and Sasuke protect her. They fight back-to-back.

The spoiler provider seems to feel that the chapter felt a bit rushed.

What's the point of a technique that you can only use every three years?

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

What's the point of a technique that you can only use every three years?

Plot device that Kishimoto has never to use again.

 

[Pein]

What's the point of a technique that you can only use every three years?

kotoamatsukami could only be used every 10 years and orochimaru's body switch tech could be used every 3 years too.

 

[TacticalFox88]

Well, Sakura a confirmed beast? lol, kk Kishimoto.

 

[Black-Wind]

kotoamatsukami could only be used every 10 years and orochimaru's body switch tech could be used every 3 years too.

Neither of those are attacks though, they're self-preservation tricks.

But IDK what this attack is so w/e.

lol what an asspull with that Sakura stuff.

 

[Tribes of Trusty]

Again !! 40
C'mooooon more releases ! (please)

Yamada & The Witches 61
Firstly a jossed theory.
Secondly exposing a cunning plan.
Thirdly, body swapping.
Good chapter nonetheless.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

lol what an asspull with that Sakura stuff.

It´s not called asspull, it´s called dormant ability that was never mentioned or used and will never be used again

 

[FlutterPuffs]

lol what an asspull with that Sakura stuff.

Not really an asspull, Tsunade stores chakra herself, not surprised that Sakura has that kind of ability.

Although how it's done is the problem.

 

[Haly]

I can relate. I save all my best consumables for the last fight anyway.

Unless there's a post-game...

 

[curlyfriski]

Again!! 40

Looks like the time streams are converging. Hope we see more of depressed future Usami, although I don't really want to go back to the future. Massive brain damage seems like a poor method of time travel.

 

[Kurita]

Shokugeki no Soma first, damn.

 

[upandaway]

They're making Oda come back from hospitalization with a color page? Hopefully he had that done before it happened because seriously now

Shokugeki no Soma first, damn.

Also what what the hell happened with World Trigger, that has to be editor placement
