Wow, two chapters done almost entirely in charcoal? That's definitely a rarity.

Also jesus fuck.

May 2018 Recommendation: Noramimi

Episodic fantasy comedy | 8 volumes, Complete work, Not licensed in English​

In the Noramimi universe, most families own a 'mascot'. These strange and amusing creatures live at home and act as companions for younger children.

Noramimi is one such mascot. Unfortunately for him, he is an ogre type and thus not popular with children, who prefer 'cuter' alternatives. Unwillingly, he decides to 'home stay' at "Hello Kids" - an agency that organizes matters between mascots and humans.

But, like all mascots, his heartfelt wish is to one day be adopted by a family... (source)​

From El Sloth:
The thing about Noramimi is you just feel happier after reading a few chapters, even the heartbreaking ones. The character are all so likable and the motivations so pure. (source)​

Aisareru yori sa retai 1-end

Standard horror yandere story that could have played with the tropes through misdirection and not giving enough information, but it turns out the stuff that happens is exactly what you would expect to happen...

Ah well, decent time-waster at work if nothing else.

Rokudou no onna-tachi 93

This series has been pretty good about getting us to sympathize with asshole characters and redeem them, but this backstory is a complete failure if we're actually supposed to feel sorry for this shithead.

Man, the author has really been giving Sensei a lot of love after the results of that poll. I feel like he's gonna shoehorn her into every chapter going forward.

Can you imagine if the Sensei wins the harem battle?

That would be incredible tbh. They actually have good chemistry and it would certainly be a unique path to take. The interesting thing about this manga is that unlike most harems, there isn't an obvious winner (even though Furuhashi is heavily hinted at). Anything can happen!

I'm in the mood of reading some good slice of life manga. Can anyone recommend me some? I'm open to anything.

Senryu Girl is a hilarious SoL. Also recommending Wonder Cat Kyuu Chan for some delicious heartwarming fluff.

Is... is this racist?

I think it's trying to be on the side of minorities?
While the native american is looking for revenge, the manga does make it abundantly clear that the Americans are the evil ones and the Native americans as the victims.

It's just kind of trash and sexist so it doesn't really stick the landing.
So I wouldn't blame someone interpretating it the other way around.

Tower of God

The Baam vs Zahard fight was excellent and everything I've been waiting for. LMAO @ at Rachel and that big breeder thinking they can leave the data world with their new bodies. Clone Zahard said NOPE to all that. And current Zahard looks fucking regal as.... goddamn. This is how I wanted him to look.

This arc started kind of okay but then got fucking superb.

Shirahoshi drama felt like a waste of time. Dont know the purpose of showing that beyond wasting pages.

More time could have been spent on shanks and the 5 dragons, or Garpie.

I really love this series. This match has been fun, and the author does a good job of making distinct golfers.

That billion page One Punch Man chapter. I hate the writer, why make Genos do so many incredible things but then make him lose and have Saitama save the day. Very offensive to me. He handles Sonic and Genos so bad this many years later still.

End of this arc is even better. SIU always does this, arc starts off very mediocre then everything exciting happens the last few chapters.

I just binged all of Ito Junji the last few weeks and can't get enough of his style of horror.

Any other mangas or authors you guys recommend.

Hawks is fun. Wonder where this is going.

Promised Neverland 90
lol at Emma's reaction to no name calling her by her name

Dr. Stone 61
The stone wars begin! For real this time I think.

Food Wars 266
Seems like this could transition into international rivals.

Robot x Laserbeam 60
Pretty good chapter. I liked the timing of the poor grip strength. Hope they do a good job with the final shot (since they pretty much ruled out a playoff)

Black Clover 160
Magna was cool. Hopefully more than just Yuno can be freed through bonds lol.

One Punch Man
I'm not caught up to this, but I skimmed through the chapter (volume?) in this issue and wow at some of the art.

I am getting interested to read it, but the anime might be made by Shaft so I will contain myself now.

I like how the MC is a total dope and his friends just clown him and troll him because they know he's got a huge crush on Mino.

Omegaverse continues to be good.

Standard opening chapter, Ruka needs his Taisei, Taisei comes that one time of month during heat, and then leaves and isnt seen next month. Ruka wants more but doesnt know how to go about it, however on a certain day he decides to deviously hide Taisei's glasses forcing him to miss the train and stay the night. Ruka gets to finally have a conversation with him an a day thats not his heat period.

Looking forward to more of their relationship to develop and see how they can take it to the next level beyond just the biologically necessity and their bond. Good art. Good start.

New Baki finish

Since the anime about to start, i decide to read it to see what to expect.

So here's the main plot for it. This is a sequel to Grappler Baki, a manga about young man who want to beat the strongest man in the world to avenge his mother. Said strongest man in the world is Yujiro Hanma, his father,who is so strong, he make every world leader his bitch.

The story started after Baki won extreme underground tournament. a bunch of dangerous criminals escape from prison in search of the strongest man. So now baki and the other fighter must prepare themselves to fight against them.

Well, that the gist of it anyway. Despite being the main character, he's not actually featured in most of the fight. While he's busy having character development with his girlfriend, the other fighters are having deathmatch with the criminal and each others. Baki fight are usually short and clean while other fighter fight is far more graphic. This is definitely not the manga you read for realistic fighting manga. Every characters muscle bulging and contort weirdly. Some of their move is so far out.

The first few match is pure hype and Itakagi delivered, the latter, not so much. So yeah, i can understand why they decide to adapt criminals arc. That shit was awesome.

This manga feature:
- THE POWER OF LOVE
- pseudo science explanation but seriously, it's bullshit
- Muhammad Ali and his son
- "Death is the best defense"
- Daddy cockblock
- Chinese martial art is STRONK
- Hyping a fight that going to end anti climaticly
- No honor and pride in fighting
- ROLLER COASTER FIGHT

Ruka seems to be falling victim to misunderstand and taking things into his own hands that doesnt need it that is leading to a pretty terrible outcome. however it did give a nice taisei scene in which we see that perhaps he cares more about him than he even realizes. Cant wait to see how Ruka apologizes

Warawanakute Ii Non 1

Two childhood friends, now both in college have an encounter after Tachibana drinks a bit too much and needs to be carried back by Adachi. They have a close moment on the train the next day, then avoid each other. It stays on Tachibana so much that he hunts Adachi down to ask what happened that night. Adachi denies anything of that sort happened and that it was a dream...however Tachibana knows better. I cant wait to see how they resolve their feelings and go on from here.

Comedy was on point with the constant moments of anyone Tachibana liked instantly going for Adachi, or just getting close to him just to get to Adachi. The chosen scenes were also good, I love the guys close together on the train that they end up blushing and also the kiss in the library is always cute. Good art.
