I learned that all things explode in slowmotion if you punch them hard enough.

You may have to be on fire for that to happen, though.

Read a manga series called "Ludwig Revolution". It's pretty neat. It takes the Brothers Grimm fairy tales and gives them a different twist. (more often than not, a [tornado fang]'d up one.)

Its surprisingly short, only 4 volumes, when there are so many fairy tales to adapt.

Story is theres this prince, Ludwig, who is pretty much an [dark hold] womanizer, who happens to have a hobby of collecting beautiful female corpses. So his father gets fed up with him and tells him to not return until he has found a princess to marry.

And from there, along with his servant Wilhelm, he encounters the princesses from all them old fairy tales. But like I said before, they have a twist, and not all is as it seems to be most of the time.

It's really good. I recommend it.

(He drops the corpse collecting pretty quickly, right after he gets kicked out, which is after the first story.)

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

Man..3 afternoons...that's how long it took me to read from chapter 10 to the newest chapter of Claymore.
..Gotta say, out of all the weird Shenanigans only the Abyss hunter made me cringe...

Currently reading:

Chrono Crusade - Well, I admit I said Zero no Tsukaima is what defined "Generic Anime/Manga". I take that back. This does.

SO, anyone else reading Magico? It's a new SJ manga. To quote TVTropes because I don't feel like writing much at almost 3AM

QuoteAs soon as 16-year old country girl Emma arrives at the city of Hawk Eye, every man in the city falls madly in love with her. The king in particular tries to force her into marriage... and then a sorceror kidnaps her.

The sorcerer introduces himself as Shion, one of the youngest and most talented in the nation. He explains to Emma that she is cursed with the Echidna, a mysterious magic that happens every 500 years where a girl is born with her heart packed with such powerful dark magic that it has the potential to destroy the world. With the Echidna, one could rule the world, and Shion explains that people are going to try and hunt her down to get her heart.

However, just when Emma has given up on living a normal life, she is told that there exists a ritual that will rid her of the Echidna curse: the ritual Magico, which consists of many difficult trials... the first of which requires Emma and Shion to marry each other.

It's been pretty good so far. I like how right now the party feels more like family than "nakama", and I mean actual family, as in husband/wife/child. Also, the main characters get married in the first chapter, that has to be violating some rules of Shonen or something D:

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

Just wait till it [tornado fang]ing tanks. I have a feeling it will.
I can't say though, it seems very interesting. I might give it a read... how's the art btw?

Actually, if the color pages it's getting is any indication it's doing good so far.

As for the art, well, here's the first cover

Solar

You mean like the jumping on cows or whatever they were? Yeah XD If not then I still agree.

Anyways, the first chapter of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure part 8 Jojolion is out :D

...is the main character having 4 balls gonna be a plot point or something?

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


Archer

Now that chapter 73 is translated, I was able to finally finish Tsukihime.

...I should probably get on to finishing all that other stuff I've put aside >_>

Phi

Finished reading Death Note: BB Murder Cases. Not really a manga, but a novel (even though MAL lists it in the manga section).

Pretty good read... until the ending. Rushed as all hell. Beyond Birthday's conclusion in the story was sloppy and made it seem that the writer's were out of ideas. His methods and motive were alright, but the ending was still extremely lackluster to an otherwise enjoyable plot.

OH SHAT, almost forgot about that. I better get to continuing it.

Catching up on Princess Resurrection, Claymore, Soul Eater, and Rosario+Vampire

I've been meaning to watch the series at some point. Now that they're starting over from the beginning, it would be a great place to start for others and me included. Not to mention that Madhouse is in charge this time, so expect A+ quality.

Karai

HOLY [parasitic bomb] NEGIMA :O
I didn't expect Akamatsu to actually pull this off. Wow.

Heh.

FUUUUUCK YOOOOUUUUU AKAMATSU!

Akamaru

Finished Negima also. I can't believe I actually have been reading this series for 9 years, but it left me quite satisfied.

[spoiler]Seriously though, just tell us who was the f***ing lover of Negi.[/spoiler]

When was the last time I poked you guys...

Rin

I'm reading an awesome manga by the title of D-Frag!
It's pure comedy gold, with a lot of absurdity and some slight romance and maybe harem elements thrown in (though it doesn't suffer from, you know, stupid ass fanservice).

If anybody is interested, here's a quick summary:

It's about a.guy named Kenji who is a deliquent at school and along with his two pals he wanders into the "Game Creator Club" in order to "borrow" something.
However, he gets more than he bargained for when the club members turn out to be batshit crazy girls and in the end he is forced to join.
And all hell breaks lose.

It doesn't sound too interesting, but it really is [tornado fang]ing amazing. I've just caught up with all of the chapters (currently translated that is).

Archer

Annnnnd Bakuman is finished.

Eh, it was okay I guess. Was at least something to read for the past three years anyway.

Karai

Aw man, another one finished. I really have to find something new.

The Drunken Dishwasher

[chameleon sting]ing Berserk and Gantz.  Crazy ass [parasitic bomb], especially w/ manga Machete appearing out of nowhere~

Karasai♪
