HxH
I'm glad I decided to catch up to this at such a fun point in time, HxH is at it's best when it has crazy power shenanigans going on.
I think the optional request thing revealed this week might play a big role in how he might save Gon without thousands dying as a result.
I still think the request thing is gonna end badly for at least one more person before the end of this arc though, if she's already asking for pinky nails I can imagine more messed up requests in the future.

Hunter has really returned to form with this arc.
And it certainly doesn't seem to be a secret that he considers Alluka his sister, since he blatantly says so to the butlers this week...upandaway said:
I dunno, the whole thing is still pretty vague, and I'd rather not eliminate possibilities at this point. Hell, it might also have something to do with Kalluto (a male dressed as a female? and who's the "older brother" he wants to get back? could it be that Alluka's gender was changed from male to female at some point, and that's what Kalluto means by "getting his brother back": undo the change?)...
Also, about this week's episode... I wonder how Illumi's family would like it if they knew how much he told Hisoka.

Alluka was real cool but now her powers have waaay too many rules.

For a fucked up power like that there has to be some limits.
Plus its Togashi, dude loves making up rules/explanations for stuff.
Hunter X Hunter 324:
The majority of these rules are for the readers and their imaginations. Togashi doesn't want a bunch of fan mail asking questions like "Why didn't Killua or Milluki use Alluka to get a copy of the Greed Island game?", "Could Alluka have brought Kaito or the Chairman back to life?", etc... All these rules eliminate at least half of those questions.

I don't care what anyone says, I still love the yakuza and gangsters. I couldn't stop smiling. It's good stuff.
It was nearly enough that Kirisaki was the "energetic one" but getting the entire second chapter was pretty major too. Still, the other girl is also in a good spot (having childhood connection without being childhood friend).
This is secretly pretty dangerous.
Also it would be incredible if she didn't actually meet them next chapter. The obvious misunderstanding premonition is a tad too obvious isn't it?

I don't want to sound predictable, but some serious shit is going to go down in the coming chapters. I figured that there would be more games after the cat, but i'm fine with shun and the other survivors finally leaving the school. 3 million kids wiped out...

So I started watching Fist of the North Star (I know, I should have done this a while ago), but the censorship is starting to annoy me a bit. Should I just read the manga or continue the anime?

The anime is pretty bogged down by filler (although the filler does at least make one early villain more memorable, and I think the anime has a cool soundtrack and cool voice acting), so I'd go with the manga.

So glad she has the final goddess. I'd hate for Chihiro to steal all that extra panel time.

I'm thinking Pariston's greed is going to result in him being on the wrong side of Alluka's pesterings at some point.Neoriceisgood said:
Man if only Pariston so much as learned about the ability I don't even know what would happen.grandjedi6 said:
It can definitely leak out to Pariston if Killua gives Morau more hints.
It's possible that Kalluto's just trying to make Nanika disappear. As long as Kalluto refers to Alluka as male like everyone else, it fits.Erigu said:
Not saying there aren't more possibilities, but this whole "different genders for the two personalities" seems like a pretty good explanation to Killua's behavior. It explains why he'd be comfortable in calling Alluka his sister when physically she's male.
Nisekoi 2 - So looks like we're straying a bit from the one shot of
Yeah, just a bit too obvious of a setup. Which means that is exactly how it will happen.
them promising each other as children. I guess for the sake of the serialization, the rival needs to have some merit, huh?

I don't really like the translation that's up right now. Anyways, Mashiro wants to change Reversi's name to Bakuman, I don't really need to tell you guys what that must mean, right?

Fruits Basket vol 5 bunko edition
This volume had a couple of moments in which Tohru shows that there is some darkness deep down in her that will have even her stop smiling and look pained, although she's good at getting back to her usual self and being nice to everyone, even that little asshole Hiro.
Akito has been established as a big piece of shit, and I remember reading in here that he's a she, which makes sense considering the harem she tries to build up with the males while bitch-slapping the girls until they are hospitalized, though I'm still waiting for it to be revealed in the story.
It was cool to find out that Yuki was the one that helped Tohru get back to her house when she was lost, since initially it seemed like it could have been Kyo too.
Kisa has been awesome since she appeared in the volume before this one. I can't get enough of Tohru silly face when she sees Kisa and the huggings they exchange.
Up to this point, it would almost seem as if all these animal people are drawn to Tohru because she's basically the nice, loving, caring mother they never had and would even explain why Hiro is a little dick, as he has a loving mother himself.

Part 2 of my Fukumoto marathon! Definitely has the dude's distinct style of storytelling, mind games, and zawa all put in a prison break situation. Being short, it didn't take long to reach a satisfying conclusion with cocky villains breaking down and the main characters getting out mostly unscathed. Not quite as threatening as Fukumoto's other stuff since there was only 1 "game of death" and it wasn't even a super hard one. No drop in tension though.
Definitely recommended to all Kaiji/Akagi/whatever Fukumoto fans.

The proper version is up at Red Hawk.Griffith said:
I didn't think of that, but yeah, that'll probably happen.upandaway said:
upandaway said:
I don't think there really needs to be a supernatural explanation, I figured he just liked to dress as/be referred to as a girl and Killua was just more open-minded about it than the rest of his family.
Bakuman 155:
I was hoping we'd get to see a couple of pages for both the new series by now. But anyway, with all this hype going on this chapter, Reversi better get an anime. It's too bad none of the other mangakas are doing anything significant right now though.
Bakuman Troll Chapter:
As soon as I saw this dialogue I stopped reading it:
Shujin: "Fuck yeah"
Saiko: "Is this real life?"

Glad to see this series is actually going to be as messy as I was hoping.

Switch Girl vol 10
Nika as an old woman had some great comedic panels and situations. Hitomi plan to try and snare Arata didn't pay off, making Arata look even more as a great guy.
That Shutei loser though didn't learn the lesson last time, and is now back with a vengeance, and Nika got captured (by some dangerous individuals) as the volume ended.
Now to wait december for the next volume.
Oh, honorable mention for the other switch girl introduced, the otagirl! I hope there will be more of her in the future.

It's also the only vaguely memorable one.
If any other power up would've sticked, chances are people wouldn't have recognised it with how original all of Natsu's fire moves tend to be.

"Even if you cut off all my limbs, Ill still be able to fight." Cool recovery. A small rivalry over him next chapter will be fun.

My favorite Maho image. I just noticed that everyone is so friendly towards each other in the series, theres not even friendly arguing. Plane test on mars has been my favorite trial.

This is the whole concept of little sister tropes turned into a battle shounen. Loving it so far. Hope translations pick up again since it looks like there hasn't been any for a while.
