I think my favorite part about all this is that Akemi is actually getting character development. I honestly believed she would just be a Dick Dastardly-style moustache-twirling gag character for the majority of the series, but blammo, not only is she getting character development, but they've managed to wedge supernatural stuff in with it as well as pretty excellent comedy! I cannot wait for the anime of this. Especially the faces.

I would have enjoyed this manga a whole lot more if the main source of conflict was not "every female character dotes for the boring protagonist".

In the end I suppose it can't help but be true to its roots as a harem romantic comedy.

EDIT: Oh gosh, it just got its own thread! That makes yet another child this thread has spawned! :aaa:

That is of course a concern, but it has been excellent at making that a background thing most of the time. I feel like it's taking the piss of harem series when it does focus on it, aside from the Asahi/Youko pairing. It could all be downhill from here, who knows, but hopefully it stays more to the comedy part of romcom rather than harem romance.

Also, I made a separate thread for it, because I feel like it's a good enough series for its own thread.

Oh you bastard! You're lucky this isn't the old GBS where you could get probated for puns! Ah man, reading this chapter, I had a huge grin the moment those kids started following after Sakamoto. (they missed a Beatles reference, though!) Sakamoto is just so amazing and dreamy. :swoon:

I am so glad that Sayoko-san is still being translated. There are three and a half untranslated volumes, and it gets so drat good.

A new chapter of Daidai wa, Hantoumei ni Nidone Suru, is up. This time about a girl who is bored with the dull life in her small town, where nothing unusual tends to happen.

Saiki Kusuo is too popular in this latest chapter. Actually I have been in a situation like his before, hiding around a corner so that a person I find bothersome won't see me!

Haha, it seems that gradually Gotoh's delusions are becoming true! I'm glad that this group got back to scanning / got hold of new raws for this. Always brings a smile to my ace! :)

Nope, nothing special here, just a giant girl gradually growing bigger and bigger... (It's the same manga with the talking head!)

I think he's trying to guess what's in the box by feel alone. It's about as pointless as one of his games could get.

Exactly. It's a pretty common game on variety shows in Japan. I've used it in grade school English classes. It's pretty pointless alone, though.

Yayness! I'm glad, that's what this thread is for!

But really, there's something that the latest chapter of ZaiX10 that caught my eye...



Apparently, there's a manga out there with a schoolgirl dressed in a horse mask. What is this manga, and how do I get a hold of it? :stare:
