Decided to read the first chapter of Zipman, and as soon as a giant robot trashing Tokyo showed up, i stopped reading for a second and put on the Power Rangers into as BGM. It elevated the chapter into becoming something else

It might just be me, but I got a bit of a Mega Man, Mega Man X vibe from the robot designs in Zipman. The fact they he seemingly gains the powers of his enemies via their zippers only adds to this feeling.

Okay, this all looked really neat. :)

Arthur, you didn't have a reason to apologize.
Meliodas indirectly killed you. Waking up from being dead and seeing the direct cause of your death is a pretty good reason to be pissed off.

Were they still getting scans before the magazines actually went out?

Yeah. MS and Jaimini's Box along with anyone else translating weekly jump stuff were using raws stolen right off the presses.

This does nothing to stop the raws though. Even if Japan locks jump presses up like the mint, the Korean raws will end up being what everyone uses because those always get leaked at the same time.

If I had to guess, Jaimini's Box works from the Korean raws.

No, because they still are sitting on Peerless Dad, Birdmen, and Burning Effect. The middle of which I doubt would get picked up by anyone so instead of getting 2 chapters a year the dream would be dead.

Seems like it's also JB, as they're apparently dropping all Weekly Jump series.

Scalnlation scene getting hit hard. I don't mind most of it though, Manga plus works perfectly well and there are always smaller fringes

Yeah, I’m fine waiting a couple of days for manga plus. I’m waiting on Sunday’s for Act Age anyways so might as well wait for all the other jump manga, plus manga plus has the better scans anyways

Well poo poo. If it was truly their choice and not due to copyright claims I wish they'd have given us a heads up. I'm like 20 chapters behind in TPN and I would've liked to read them over the holidays.

Any way to get them legally? I used to have a WSJ subscription but after they changed to something else they stopped charging me and I don't even know what I need to buy now.

Viz has the backlogs of a lot of wsj series available for people with subscriptions, and free reading for most recent chapters. TPN is there

who, me?


If you subscribe to WSJ through Viz it's $1.99 a month and you can read 100 chapters a day (which makes me wonder why they have a limit at all, unless it's just to keep bots from automatically scanning their archives and uploading them or something like that). That would include the entire back catalog of TPN.

New chapter of Zipman is up.

Kaname doesn't seem to be aware that he's got a scary face so I'm not so sure if Cutie Charm guy's words about people judging you about your appearance even resonated with him. But even so, it's great he still understood the guy's desire to emulate his role model and all the effort he put into it.

Also the last two pages sure are a treat. Forget not-Star Platinum, that's one of the Watcher babies from Drakengard 1. :stare:

Have you never read Nisekoi? The fact that Uruka confessed first means she gets dumped first. All the other girls are confessing too remember?

From the Quintuplet thread.

Paracelsus posted:

If the childhood friend is the first new girl to be introduced into the MC's life, they will win, just the same as the first alien/goddess/party member/slave to do the same. If the childhood friend was already present in the MC's life, they will lose, because the story is about the new girl's relationship with the MC. If the childhood friend is introduced after the first new girl, the CF will lose just like all the other best girls. That's just how it works.

After some thought, make of this what you will.

We're going to have to break out some PhD level harem math to figure this one out. The initial two girls were already in his class so they aren't technically "new" and Uruka was still always going to school with him and was never "new" so she's out. So the only two options left to him are sensei and tiny sempai since they were actually new people who weren't part of his life before the story started. We always have to remove the actually correct answer which eliminate sensei so by process of elimination tiny sempai has to win.

Edit: I went back to verify my information and it looks like tiny sempai might have been the first to put the idea of Yuiga becoming a teacher in his head so that's worth a ton a points.

I've never liked sensei pairings unless that's the point of the story. Like, I know that harems are blatant wish fulfillment by their sheer nature and thus not realistic in the slightest, but something about her being considered for end girl muh less being in the harem AT ALL just completely breaks almost all of my willing suspension of disbelief.
