I read vol. 22 of Garouden and the ending to the tournament was crap.

[Ghost]

Found a nice slice of life romance called Bonnouji. It's a rather slow paced, adult kind of love story between two somewhat odd people who end up growing closer to each other. Time is very compressed - the first 18 chapters take place over a period of six years, though that mostly only comes across in the narrative. There's very little conflict, at least so far, so it's recommended if you feel for a harmless romance story without a lot of drama.

Also stumbled on a two volume yuri manga called Hanjuku Joshi. It's pretty NSFW and definitely counts as softcore erotica, but the actual love story was so sweet and adorable I honestly can't think of it as porn. Smut, maybe, but at least it's very cute smut.

Fixed that for you.

Garouden is like Baki but with a worse story, if that's possible.

Hush up you!

Yeah, I have to agree. Oga is hopeless case. Really the two of them have no compatibility.

I wouldn't say that they're completely incompatible. Just that Aiba would be much much much better for Aoi.

Soooo... How many chapters before Aiba shows up again?

Hopefully not too long. He's too awesome to be gone. ...and hopefully not for a fucking "Aoi rescue arc" or something like that.

[Nik Hasta]

Bakuman ended.

Well... that was succinct. On the whole a fine manga with a decent story and a charming view into the world of how manga itself is created. It lost it's way a little towards the end but I'm glad they had the stones to end it as and when they did.

Very good on the whole. I would recommend it to one and all.

Freezing Zero:

The creator of high-end skills is a klutz?

Oh dear.

In other news, has anyone here read Ocha Nigosu (A Badboy Drinks Tea!), or Isuca?

Aquarion Evol:

In this episode we continue learning the philosophical uses of donuts.

And Andi has one awesome power. Sure the ability to make holes doesn't sound so impressive at first, until you start using it at range and blowing hole in buildings and what not. Sure it doesn't work on living things, but who cares you just opened a whole in reality and made a black hole.

Guys, do yourselves a favor and go read Kurogane.

I started reading it, and it's awesome!

Just started reading this, up to chapter 12 and loving it so far.

I read through Hanjuku Joshi earlier this weekend and you're right, it was a pretty nice story.
Once I'm up to date with Kurogane, I'll start in on Omamori Himari.

New toriko out.



Chiyo is the scariest old woman I've ever seen. Really.

[Dark Soul # 7]

Toriko: Hmm. Is this the first time that two of the series high-end level people are going to clash? I wonder how Toriko will be after eating up all that bubble fruit.

Beelzebub: A really funny little one-shot chapter. Baby Be'el is one of the funniest characters in manga. And I love the Demon Emperor's letter.

Omamori Himari: Poor poor Himari. She wants Yuuto to take her long and hard but just when he gets the balls to do so she develops a fear of it. And now we return to regularly scheduled loli-kyuubi time.

Yeah, they've really upped the implied gore quotient for this. Ha, the anime staff are probably annoyed right now.

Beelzebub: A really funny little one-shot chapter. Baby Be'el is one of the funniest characters in manga. And I love the Demon Emperor's letter.

I loved how Oga was like; "I'm going to die, aren't I?"

[Pong]

Beelzebub: A really funny little one-shot chapter. Baby Be'el is one of the funniest characters in manga. And I love the Demon Emperor's letter.

This chapter was so awesomely random. No context no nothing, just 19 pages of pure humor. I just love Beelzebub.

Just started reading this, up to chapter 12 and loving it so far.

Keep reading, it gets even better.

Magico 58: You know what? I really like Shion. He's awesome and a really funny little grouch. And now he can go super-mode without regressing his character thanks to his creepylicious older brother.

The chapter as a whole is quite fun with lots of different confrontations going on all over the place. Emma is such a sweetheart and Luu gets to go awesome again. ...Raven however is kind of failing.

Love the last page. Classic shounen stuff.

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?

"Aren't you going to fantasize about me?"

Eu has grown bold.

Also:

"Then, the megalo attack?"

"It was me."

"And the one who helped her with the device?'

"It was me."

"And the reason why their CDs didn't sell?"

"It was me."

"And why the summer is hot?"

"Totally me."

Chris is funny.
