the page in i think it was riki oh but really it could be any tetsuya saruwatari manga where the protaganist is strong enough to punch people so hard there heads explode but anyway its the page where the main character punches a dude so hard the dudes face shoots out of the back of his head and I think hits a wall but the rest of his head is still there but there is this huge face sized hole in it.

im looking for it right now

Vote shit sandwich or the shit sandwich gets it!
I've been reading Love Buzz by Takako Shimura. It's about a female wrestler who comes back from a sabbatical, bringing along her young daughter, and from there about the interpersonal relationships between the members of wrestler troupe and some people outside of it.

It's nice and fun.

Here's my angle. He never really wanted to destroy the world, which is why even though he said "make the world end" to the moon Billy, it didn't do anything. He wanted to "hold the fate of the world in his hands", which he got to do.

The other thing is that he accused Billy Bat of having manipulated his life to lead him to that moment, a life spent murdering and torturing people. He also understood that wishing wouldn't do anything except destroy the world along with him still dying. He couldn't make a wish to save himself or change his life, not really. The only choice he had was whether or not to take everyone else with him, and he had enough love left to make the right decision.

It's gonna be both. The smuggling operation keeps getting shut down, but Iyami himself is never caught.

Didn't see an active manga request thread so asking here: Looking for some completed series to binge through. Generally prefer drama stuff to action stuff as long as there's not some soul crushingly depressing ending. Recently read Pluto and Billy Bat, which I liked, and Spirit Circle, which I loved (have also read most other stuff by each of those authors). Have also read I think most of the stuff on the wiki's recommendation list.

Jitsu wa watashi wa just finished! Like 190 ch so you’ll be busy for awhile. However it’s a romcom but: is way more comedy than it is romance, the main couple gets together before the end, the supporting cast is top notch. Plot is a boy who notoriously can’t keep secrets must keep the secret of his crush (a vampire) or she’ll be forced to leave school by vampire dad. This goes off the rails in like the first 20 or so chapters though

E: Sorry this is NOT seinen, didn’t see what thread i was in

Did Soil ever finish the 3rd... case? Arc? I liked the series a lot but stuff like that doesn't seem to click for me unless I can read at least one complete arc at a time.

I finally finished Soil after YEARS. GOD drat, like GOD drat. I even offered the guy who finished the translation to at least translate the first chapter into spanish because jesus lord what a fantastic piece of art.

If you liked Pluto and Billy Bat, check out Monster by the same author.

Edit: I just realized this is the seinen thread and the following rec doesn't fit that genre but I'm leaving it here anyway: ---- I'm not sure how depressing is too depressing for you, but Kakukaku Shikajika is an excellent, compact, award-winning autobiographical drama by josei mangaka Akiko Higashimura.

Keeping it seinen, March comes in like a Lion (which obviously has a currently airing anime which is also great) and maybe Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha if you're up for a drama with a romance-heavy focus as well.

But yeah please also check out Kakukaku because god drat what a thing that was.
