Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is ending (the manga). I just heard what was "revealed" in the wake of its impending end,
Those who read/watched the anime... are YOU READY?! Here we go:

[spoiler]Kafuka was dead since the beginning of the series (or somesuch) and all the girls tried to to commit a mass suicide (including Nozomu) but they kinda failed and all of them got some kinda transplants from Kafuka. Each time she appeared during the series it was a mass hallucination on their parts or some [parasitic bomb]. There was also something about her posessing each of the girls who got the transplants... but...[/spoiler]
Personally, I just want to believe it's 4chan trolling me, but since everyone keeps talking about it and [parasitic bomb]... I... I...

That sounds like the Simpsons episode where Homer got the hair transplant from Snake.

Well, Steel Ball Run is now finally over. It made me sad ;__;

Funfact: Today is finally the first day ever that Jojo's Bizarre Adventure scanlations are up to date with the Japanese chapters.


My life is currently bears and Jojos and everything is great.

Thank to the fun of internets on iPhones.  I've been catching up on one manga series at a time (well, this recently started rather, and it's mainly I have something to do in the bus rides to work and during smoke breaks).  After Gantz (really enjoying that series :D), I went back to One Piece (took a LOOOOONG break from the middle of the Skypeia arc.) and now at the end of the Paramount War arc.  One Piece just keeps getting better and better.

Right now I'm reading the newest volume of I Am A Hero. No doubt the very best zombie story I've ever encountered. I felt real fear at some of the moments in the manga. Plus, the art, where I typically don't enjoy hyper-realistic art, feels right at home in the story. My favorite part though is that it doesn't glorify Japan as most manga/anime do. It depicts it as a country of greed and perversion. While it might not be true to the extent that the manga shows it to be, at least the author had the balls to show the reader "Hey, this country isn't perfect, and if a zombie invasion happens, we're [tornado fang]'d."

On another note, I think a new volume of Witch Hunter came out. Only manwha I'll ever enjoy.

Do. It's pretty friggin' good.

Plus, remember how in HOTD (I pray that you don't) there was a group of high schoolers armed to the teeth with AK-47's? Nope. None of that [parasitic bomb]. The MC does have a shotgun, but it's two-round max, and he's really uppity about using it right even in high-stress situations, and it really gets into the facts of gun laws in Japan. Weaponry usage in the manga is really well handled and it adds to the atmosphere of the plot. Most of the time, the people who are considered "the most powerful" are armed with knives or nail guns, or in the most extreme case, a crossbow.

Plus they use PICTOCHAT as a communication format. That was fun.

Sorry. I'm getting a little over-excited there. I better stop before I start spoiling [parasitic bomb].

Unfortunately, I have seen HOTD. Though the weaponry wasn't the thing that bothered me; it was the damn fanservice [tornado fang]ing EVERYWHERE.

PICTOCHAT

Okay, I'm definitly going to read this now.

Picked up Not Lives! and The World God Only Knows. Might drop the latter. The former isn't as moeshit as I expected.

I really like TWGOK's MC. I'm only on the first chapter so I'm not passing judgement QUITE yet. Just first impressions aren't all that great.

Oh, I should add that I started reading Gimmick! and The Earl And The Fairy, since they had 'em at my library. I like them both. Also reading the DBZ mango.

Why haven't I participated in this wonderful thread?~

I'm feeling absolutely tenouttaten giddy today because my friend gave me his copy of Girl Friends (he decided it was safer to just give to me than to constantly hide it from his conservative Catholic mother) and I just finished giving it a reread. I'm gonna inevitably start it over again because god I just love reading this manga so much~ It makes me feel all giddy and mushy and girly and happy and yaay~

...I'm sorry you had to see that. '>.>

HI GUYS THIS THREAD EXISTS

I decided to get back into manga so I'm catching up on:

Vinland Saga
I Am A Hero
Girls of the Wild's
Black Bullet

And I need to find some other [parasitic bomb]. I guess I could try to catch up on Madan no Ou to Vanadis and Maoyuu Maou Yuusha.

Been reading some of the official Touhou manga that finished years ago. Most are slice of life with focus on more low level characters, but the world building, interaction and of course cute factor is pretty great for fans. While the ongoing Wild and Horned Hermit boosted secondary protag Marisa into my top picks, Touhou Sangetsusei's much nicer depiction of central protag Reimu certainly put her up a ways too. Especially the bits where she's rather happily working for once in her life.
