I thought the huge DAH on the ceiling was supposed to be the air pressure making a sign or something. When i got closer, i realized it was something much better. :allears:

It's worth learning the Japanese syllabaries, if just for gags like that. I love it.

Beelzebub takes traditional comic gags and elevates them from pop culture to pure artform.

Who was saying that they were afraid this comic was going to turn into a boring shonen rumble? Has this put your fears to rest?

As much as I laughed at the new OP, is it really the kind of OP that someone who might be interested in this series should be reading? I mean, I love in-jokes as much as any other goon, but I almost always picked my reads based on the OP in it's ADTRW thread, and the current one would never sell me this manga. Not to mention that the last image is very spoilery.

Mangaka and Serialization

Beelzebub is an ongoing shonen shoujo manga by Ryūhei Tamura that serialises in Weekly Shounen Jump. It was first published as a one-shot by Tamura in Weekly Shōnen Jump's 2008 volumes 37-38, where it won the fourth Gold Future Cup, and then it was serialized on the same magazine starting in its thirteenth volume in 2009. As at 29 March 2013, the series has reached its 198th chapter.


Background

Beelzebub is the story of Hanazawa “Paako” Yuka and her budding romance with the kind-hearted delinquent Kanzaki Hajime. Their friends and acquaintances, while supporting and encouraging the development of Paako and Kanzaki’s relationship, are at the same time caught up in their own passions, jealousies and intrigues, casting an illuminating light on the multifarious aspects of love and demonstrating the different ways in which the central Paako-Kanzaki pairing could yet develop.


Paako-Kanzaki

Hanazawa “Paako” Yuka posted:




Paako is a student in Ishiyama High School and a leading member of the girls’ gang known as the “Red Tails”. She is known for her trademark flower hairpin, which doubles as a deadly weapon in her skilled hands. She is a cheerful, outgoing person, and is very fond of Kanzaki’s adorable niece Futaba. Always one to put her friends before herself, she is at the forefront when it comes to supporting the romantic endeavours of her fellow gang members Aoi and Nene. However, she is shy about admitting her own growing feelings for Kanzaki, while Aoi and Nene in turn can see that Paako and Kanzaki “make a good pair”.



Kanzaki Hajime posted:




Kanzaki is a skilled dancer specializing in the “Kanzaki Flamenco”), and is also a health fanatic (exemplified by the fact that his favourite drink is yogurt). He has bonded with Paako over their common affection for his niece Futaba, and like Paako he too is willfully oblivious to his growing love for her.



Futaba-Beelzebub-Chiyo



Though at four years old, she’s barely a fourth of Kanzaki’s age, his niece Futaba is already far ahead of him in the arena of love, having secured her first admirer in the form of Oga’s adoptive son Beelzebub. However, her supremacy in his heart faces severe challenge from the younger (by seven months) girl Aiba Chiyo. The intensity of these two young ladies’ fiery contest for Beelzebub is enough to drive the very landscape around them into explosive action.


Hilda-Oga-Aoi



Like father, like son, as they say. The relationship dynamics of the “Hilda” Hildegarde – Tatsumi Oga – Kunieda Aoi trio mirror, on a grander scale, that of the Futaba-Beelzebub-Chiyo triangle, with Oga similarly oblivious to the attentions of his jealously possessive common-law wife Hilda the nursemaid and his subtler but no less aggressive classmate Aoi the shrine maiden.


Himekawa-Kugayama



Himekawa Tatsuya is a friend of Kanzaki and the wealthiest among their group of friends. Despite his privileged upbringing, he has surprisingly down-to-earth hobbies such as Sudoku and video games. He has an arranged engagement with Kugayama Shio, who has been deeply in love with him since first grade but whose affection he chooses not to reciprocate, for some as-yet unrevealed reason.


Toujou-Shizuka





Despite his thuggish appearance, Toujou “Tora” Hidetora is a laid-back, gentle person who loves animals and children. As simple in mind as he is in heart, Tojo is utterly insensible to his childhood friend Shizuka Nanami, who stoically accepts that Tojo is far too boneheaded to recognize, let alone reciprocate, her quiet but deep love for him.

For some reason I'd have preferred Kunieda to be number 1 (somehow I don't think Furoichi is getting a number, or else he should have been #1).

The flying kick/parry was ridiculous though, I loved it.

I kind of agree with this, she's always seemed to be in that position relative to the rest of the cast, moreso than Kanzaki.
