Everything starts off okay, they beat the people that boarded their ship, they beat one of the elite 4 dudes, then the dude who beat the elite 4 gets shot and everything just starts going to poo poo until everyone is captured.

Then the bad guy gathers them up in some underground, tells them he sold off the two mascot characters to a junk shop, chops off the arm of the dude who got shot, reveals that they didn't actually beat the people who boarded their ship and he now has control of the ship, and when the MC is giving his hot blooded "I will beat you" speech the bad guy shoots him in the head and the manga goes "yes he just loving died"

That looks.... interesting, but it's also by dude who wrote Fairy Tail, so chance for it sticking is pretty much 0. :shrug:

Yeah I don't believe it sticking either, but all things considered it's pretty huge loss for a Shounen gang.

Also tbh I'm not expecting time fuckery, just plain old fuckery. Being dead doesn't stop a Shounen protag from coming back to life even moreso since Shiki's ability isn't gravity, but "Satan Gravity"

Also I see Eden's Zero guns work on One Piece rules.

Getting shot in the loving head execution style is pretty up there in terms of shonen loss

Also the creepy torture earth guy is Mashima's inner voice.
and Ill bet he goes to a real life group therapy for mangaka

The event itself? Probably not. The mental beating? Oh that can and will stick. :unsmigghh:

New SHY, no. I am not crying.


Spider-man: Fake Red might also be closing up shop. The sales for volume 1 are going to make or break if we get a continuation. Shame because this is one of the better spider-man stories I've read in some years.

I have to admit, (regarding WNL) the ending both makes complete sense if you've been paying attention to how Nariyuki dealt with the girls all this time, and is immensely unsatisfying when you realize that anywhere from four to seven girls were completely in love with this guy and only one even got the chance to confess.

But the Korean audience being incredibly salty because the "black girl" won is a whole 'nother level.

Do they not know she's got a tan/a gyaru?

(But yes I am salty over Uruka winning cause she's the blandest pick)

It shouldn't have gone past the last chapter for the new group. Going for the hat trick here is boring when the new guys already have all their personality shoved into the captain of their crew.

It's not just a Korean thing. Colourism is unfortunately pretty prevalent over here in Asia.

I'm not really tired of it, but this chapter was pretty boring. I was hoping for more Mysterious Being action, especially if he wanted to screw over the new guys. :allears:

If I ignore the fact that I have no idea what's going on, then this chapter was pretty intense.

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!

tanned skin is associated with being poor, uneducated, doing manual labor in the sun etc. (along with the usual racism)

i think its weird people like tanned skin because its just skin damage, personally

I've always associated it with country living and athletics in the context of anime and manga that or the tropics(am from the Caribbean and can attest it's no uncommon to be tanned often). That said, I can see where you're coming from about the skin damage.

Sleep, rest, do your best.
I only occasionally read We Never Learn, because people seem positive about it, and I don't really see the appeal. BUT from what I see of the ending the girl with the best hair won so I don't see the problem.

I keep reading Guardian of the Witch. I have no opinion to share about it. There's nothing to say, it's just generic.
