Apparently it's called "Da Rapper Bites And Becomes A Rapper" by Teikoku Inka

I want a translated version so bad... Guess translation must be hell though what with the actual rapping and such

I just read through Grand Blue and, like, it's extremely funny and I laughed a lot, but it just feels kind of weird to see Inoue Kenji's style of humor applied to drinking and more college life things.

While I'm still a bit worried about how things will turn out, this is pretty good.

Also, speaking of Grand Blue, you can now read it on CR! I wish Kodansha would just throw up the back issues too, but Simulpub is good enough for me.

They should be careful with that imagery, people might think this is an anime about diving.

New Bungou Stray Dogs is up: https://imgur.com/a/MHLxd

I wonder which organization the fifth Hunting Dog is infiltrating, and under what alias. Obvious possibilities:

  • The Armed Detective Agency, in which case it's probably Naomi.
  • The Port Mafia, in which case it's probably the last unrevealed executive.
  • The Decay of Angels/Rats in the House of the Dead, in which case it's probably one of the unrevealed Decay members.
  • The Order of the Clock Tower is less likely, since they're UK-based. No idea what name it would be under; Kazuo Ishiguro is the only major ethnically Japanese British writer I can think of, and he's still alive.

I will confirm that this manga is, in fact, absolutely amazing. Doubly so because I had only recently finished Blade of the Immortal. And now I've run out of pages. Man, I hope it gets translated further.

I still kinda think it's 50/50 that the whole cult thing will turn EXTREMELY whacky soon, even more so, and it'll turn out the whole thing is actually the incredibly exaggerated radio version they later came up with, except for some key events. Mostly because they were actually THAT loving bored looking at an abandoned town. I mean, com'on, even the hotsprings girl suddenly shows up

Could go either way, really

I think it's one of the Kodansha titles being simulpublished on Crunchyroll, so that may be of interest for you. It definitely looks interesting, so I may check it out at some point too.

As for Grand Blue, the last few chapters, including the omake (41.5 I believe) are still going strong. Having PAB meet up with Busujima, her friends and the tennis club on the island has provided some great stuff. I am wondering how Inoue will handle any potential romance between Iori and one of the other characters, but as long as the humor continues to be so consistently good I'm not too worried.

PADI is the world's top diving licenser (and the largest in Japan specifically), and a lot of the tips and techniques demonstrated in GB follow their training protocols, dunno about the other brands.

I'm pretty sure Olympus make cameras and I'd wager they make underwater ones too.

I can't figure out what "Marina Diving" and "DIVER" are about though. Is this a diving manga?

there's a little diving, but mostly it's about male bonding via alcohol, and by bonding i mean endlessly loving each other over.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!
it's ok because faces are usually under masks in biomega

it really makes me sad his stories and art took a nosedive starting with sidonia

Yeah I bounced off Sidonia. It put me off him for a few years until I went back and read Blame. The combination of scale and detail in Blame and Biomega is incredible. The minimal dialogue in blame was pretty refreshing, although it seems like there's a trend towards more dialogue if I remember Sidonia correctly.

I had a lot of fun with the Sidonia anime but some stuff can be super off-putting like when you instantly realise "humans photosynthesise now" is an excuse for naked scenes. The anime did horror really well and the mech fights could be super fun but the characters were a bit meh for me.

Sidonia is fantastic. I like Nihei's more somber and serious stuff but the contrast between that and high school romcom was hilarious.

I’m okay with the comedy, but when they resolved the plot by just killing poo poo, when many options were on the table, was a letdown.
