Anniversary color page for RxL, now to see if my prediction that it wouldnt make it to its 2nd year anniversary comes true.
I think volume 4 sales are still exactly where volume 1 was. The way the new arc is it can either move super quickly to the final match or stretch it out for a while. Seems like RxL is just hanging out until one or two new series catch on.
It's hard to tell if Ace Age is doing well or if it's just coasting on top of a lot of things that are really unpopular.
With two of those series having anime lined up, so they probably won't go anywhere. That said since Saiki ended, so at least one of the five new series should avoid an early axe.

Ookami Shounen wa Kyou mo Uso o Kasaneru - Volume 5 (end)

So... I really enjoyed this, and it was totally worth paying the little bit extra when I realized I needed to pick up one more volume rather than waiting to build up a more proper order (found a few things to bundle it with, too, so it wasn't thaaaaat bad). Figure it works a lot better flowing into the ending rather than leaving it hanging for a while and then coming back.

I swear, the art and reactions and everything in this series are just really, really good. And hey, it casually has an actual trans character who I'd definitely call not offensively portrayed at all really, so that's awesome too.

The big thing that bears mentioning though, is of course...

Holy crap! This is the rare, rare series where the main girl who's there from the start doesn't get the protagonist in the end, and instead he ends up dating the girl who didn't show up until a few chapters in! That's definitely not a common thing at all, haha! I'm actually kind of wondering if the author was won over by how Botan kind of became the most amusing character with her over the top expressions and stuff and gave her the win just because she was so enjoyable to draw and clicked so well...

I wish the Love Lab manga updated more frequently. Looks like I'll have to learn Japanese and buy the last 3 volumes.

Maou-jou de Oyasumi 57

Everything is always the princess's fault, even when it isn't. Personal responsibility clearly isn't a well taught concept among demons. Also a 72 hour boss battle sounds like an MMO nightmare.

RxL even had a time skip on its firsts chapters, so I think they will try to do a short series and finish it somehow. I don't think it's bad but it's very generic and golf is not the most excitable sport...

I like RxL.

RxL 49

This dude was in a tree the first time we saw him, right? I think his trick is going to be going over the tall trees to make a shot at the green.

Maou-jou de Oyasumi ch57

When in doubt, blame the Princess. You'll be almost always eventually right anyways.

Yuzumori-san ch32

It's good that these two reaffirmed their feelings and plans. Feels like it's headed towards either the end or a timeskip.

Dead Tube ch39

The terror of shitposters.

I wonder what sports manga one is comparing RxL too as I can easily name five that I was more excited about than Ive ever been for RxL. RxL only took off post time skip but even then thats been rocky.

I think it should have gone to be a college club about golf.

Tomoya is the only that is full of heart, precious.

This pillar is a prick. Dat doll at the end of the chapter though

Go-Toubun no Hanayome 30

Looking for Itsuki at the cafeteria was the sensible choice.

Berserk 355

Yeap, this is the classic berserk i grew up with. Can't wait for nex-
Berserk on hiatus again :(

I've seen worse sports series than RxL, but the vast majority of them are canned almost immediately so...

I remember looking into what Yuto Tsukuda did before writing Soma. He wrote and drew a soccer manga called Shonen Shikku. I took one look at the art and... yeah he should be grateful he got Shun Saeki doing the art because god damn was it bad.

The Kodansha release of Ace of Diamond refers to runs as points which always catches me off guard. Still meaning to figure out if that is just what runs are called Japan and if it is just a direct translation.
Kimetsu no Yaiba 102

At least the pillar as already led to some top tier Tanjiro faces.

Twin Star Exorcist Benio Arc 1-2

Yo, this is some extremely important information that people will miss because it isn't in the "main" story. The hell?

Also, this is just Final Fantasy X now.

One Piece Latest

Well at least Oda wont go break for ch 900--still the end of the chapter felt a little deus ex machina but I don't care since we're seeing his crew back again.

Keijo ch158

Whoo! It's been so long since the last chapter had been translated.

x9ukr2q.png


TIL nipples have time slowdown powers. Nipples are too OP. Plz nerf.

Their Story ch163

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays Sun Jing to miss an opportunity to be with Qiu Tong.

Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon ch62

Runways certainly get on a grander scale when the kids are either a dragon or super rich.

One Piece ch899

Judge spitting hot truth there.

Shuukan Shounen Hachi ch8

Hachi certainly is a good moodmaker. Now he only needs to get better at drawing manga, lol.

Rokudou no Onna-tachi ch82

She's pretty cute when in love. Must be the fangs.

Henjo - Hen na Jyoshi Kousei Amaguri Senko ch26

Well, talking about penises is a sure-fire way to break the ice I guess.

μ & i ch10

When the kids are being more mature than the parents. Well, seems the quiet is over.

My Hero Academia ch176

Gentle's quirk is pretty neat.

Boku no Hero Academia 176

Gentle's quirk could be used in many interesting ways but damn, Deku is like a shark who got a whiff of blood in this chapter. Must let Eri enjoy herself!

One Piece 899

For a moment I thought the Straw Hat Grand Fleet had shown up, still it was nice to see Jinbe's crew again.

Dr. Stone 51

Well, we now know Kohaku and Ruri take after their father when it comes to sweets. Ginrou's pulls so many priceless.reaction faces. Yes, Homura, be seduced by that sweet, sweet candy floss.

One Piece Ha! Sometimes I love how oblivious Luffy is.

Dr. Stone Boku no Hero[/b] Still a little weirded out we've got a fight so soon, but I'll be honest, Gentle is kinda cool and I can always respect a villian who knows when to run away.

Black Clover One thing I've always really liked about BC is how situations tend to get worse rather than better a lot of times. Also love how fire lions response to Asta's big generic "I'll make a new not murdery path!" speil "Yeah sure, only if you beat him before I do tho."

Took me over 2 weeks but I managed to finish Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

Reading process was very slow since except the dialog and the wall of text with various real life examples, I also had to read the references in the Kumeta Wiki. But overall it was worth it and one of the best and most difficult manga I've read. Satire, parody and black humour reach new heights. Ending was kinda unexpected and had not much to do with the tone of the series, but really I'd have expected any ending.

It was really informative about Japanese society and some world events. After completing it I find it now very difficult to go back reading the usual manga narratives or manga in general.

Looks like Tokyopop died before they could release vol 14/15 and Viz only released up to vol 13. The 3 chapters that would have been part of vol 16 never got a release as far as I can tell since the volume wasn't complete. I looked a bit, and the last three released chapters don't seem to be translated, with translations stopping in 2011 with volume 15.

Shokugeki latest

Time to bust out the peanut butter squid tentacles and have Erina's god tier blessing uncensor porn

But in all seriousness, the only thing I liked was Ryo and Hayama calling out the weirdness of the Nakiri family


Gal gohan latest

Second they introduced her and it's like 10 mi away obvious she was gonna show up at school later. The yabecchi harem grows again

In this fight Deku seems to be the true villain. Hang on Gentle!

Dr. Stone 51

The power of cotton candy is irresistible.

Shokugeki no Souma 256

Time to use that, huh?
So if all the members of the Nakiri family decided to use their power the whole stadium would strip?

Vinland Saga 148

Nobody would like to be in Floki's shoes.

At least the pillar as already led to some top tier Tanjiro faces.
That's something i guess. Another chance for Tanjirou to prove how awesome he is as a protagonist.

Gal Gohan

I find it weird how basically every adult around this dude is telling him he should definitely fuck his student but to wait a year so it's not illegal. Like, it's not only his friends and family; his co-workers seem to want him to fuck her also, which is insanely weird.

Girls' Last Tour vol.6 Bonus

It was truly a long journey.

As always, it's kinda fascinating how Tsukumizu manages to make the sceneries look rough yet detailed at the same time.

Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon ch64

I guess some friends talk better with fisticuffs.

Hakoiri Drops ch47

Hairdressers hate her.

Ore ga Ojou-sama Gakkou ni "Shomin Sample" Toshite Rachirareta Ken ch65

Looks like she's set on squashing the competition, though Eri might prove to be a match.

Shokugeki no Soma ch256

One hell of a superpower the Nakiris have.
