Yu Yu Hakusho 120-End

Man...
Going through YYH after rereading HxH is kinda sad. Gods. So many elements in common, so much stuff that was just lifted or mildly adapted. That same worsening of quality as time goes by....

Then you hit the final arc in the demon world, dude calmly introduces the characters, sets up their personalities and backstories (pretty well done bit for a shonen title, tbf), and, as soon as Togashi starts once again going crazy with all the tournament rules and all the crap he loves so much, something happens and he just gives up on the whole thing. Deja vu hits hard.

Can't help but wonder what finally caused him to give up on the book. Inclined to believe that he didn't wanna pump out tournament arc after tournament arc, but... he then went and did HxH right after, so...

  7. Enjoyable and entertain way to handle this premise thats been done a bit before. For Sore o Koigokoro to Yobu no Nara. From Dedication Through Light. (imp)

  11. I'm reading the whole thing. That was intense. A story about struggling manga author that can turn back time to reverse an accident. He's involved in an accident that took him back to his 5th grade. Can't wait for the anime adaptation. For Boku Dake ga Inai Michi. From striferser.

  18. To anyone interested in survival game series, this short side story gives a good glimpse of this manga's qualities. For Side Story. From Usobuko.

  26. The Series has matured and grown way beyond the scope it presents itself from the lonesome dark beginning. For Berserk. From TheRealTalker. (too obvious rec) Bonus gibberish from Tricky I Shadow
  27. It starts with a mysterious contact who seems to be only able to send texts consisting of cat emojis, and gets weirder from here. Give it a read if you feel like shutting down your brain, or melting it. For Canned Cat Food BATCH (one shot). From Zweizer. (of course)
  28. A beautiful little newly translated one volume manga with a very unique story telling structure about a girl in a world that you quickly find out is a fair bit darker that it appears to be. For Mitsuami no Kamisama. From flawfuls. (rev)
  29. Based on my first impression alone I can totally see why the film was such a cult classic. For Akira Vol 1. From Akito (imp).
  30. This has some pretty typical romance scenarios involved; it's not bad, but definitely nothing special, yet somehow it still pulls at my heart reading through this. For A Method to Make the World Gentle. From EndlessSky. (imp)
  31. The strange tale of an abandoned little girl with her newfound Golem guardian as they tranverse in a bizarre landscape to find human beings. For Somali and the Forest Spirit 01. From Usobuko.
  32. The stories are almost exclusively dedicated to music (it's published on a music website). For Mainichi Futeneko. From Kurita. (rev)
  33. A cynical schoolgirl meets a whimsical transfer student. Makes for a cute short story about having a brighter view on life. For Tenkousei, Ridatsu Suru (one shot). From Zweizer.

  37. That was a surprisingly touching start to the Christmas festivities. This kind of subject matter hits me harder than it should do, probably for work-related reasons. For The Flustered Shabby Santa Claus (one shot). From A Huge Battleship.
  38. It's a great and touching story I'd recommend anyone to read, if they get the chance. For Hoshi Mamoru Inu. From Lain. (rec)
  39. It is a rather odd manga, very conservative and stylistic paneling, but for an older series by a veteran mangaka it serves its purpose as a biography well. For Hitler. From MetroidPrimeRib. (rev)
  40. Kurokawa kyoubei is about to jump off a bridge and kill himself when he notices a woman standing next to him, which startles him and he slips off. For Toumei Ningen Kyoutei 01. From Umibozu. (imp)
  41. A gag manga about a farmer who likes radishes and death traps a little too much. So he accidentally kills the hero. He then has to impersonate the hero in order to save his country. Nice read, and it made me laugh a couple of times. For Yuusha ga Shinda!. From Tripon.
  42. A yuri story broken in shorts parts about two childhood friends who slowly grow closer together following one's declaration. I'd say it's one of better works from Takemiya JIn that I've read since a while. For Girl Meets Girl (one shot). From Zweizer.
  43. A nice feel-good manga with likeable characters. For Neko Ane. From ColossalLazy. (imp)
  44. I found myself enjoying it a lot, and it turned into a pretty good battle manga. For Mahou Sensei Negima!. From Sealed. (rev)
  45. It felt satisfying enough as a conclusion. For Sakuranbo Syndrome. From A Huge Battleship. (rev)
  46. It's cute and sweet, and the art style reminds me of Northern European drawings of folklore and children's stories. For Totsukuni no Shoujo. From Nordicus. (imp)
  47. Give it a read if you're into psychological horror story. For Lychee Light Club. From striferser. (rev)
  48. Noramimi is a wonderfully simple yet surprisingly thought-provoking manga about mascots and their quirks, their worries, their life, and their relationship with children, with humans. For Noramimi. From Zweizer. (rev)
  49. There's this morbid glee to Nickelodeon that's irresistible. For Nickelodeon. From Semblance. (rev)

  53. Two extremely intelligent individuals wage a tactical war over getting the other to confess first while hiding any sign that they like each other. So another cynical love story. For Kaguya Wants to be Confessed To: The Geniuses' War of Love and Brains 01. From MetroidPrimeRib.
  54. So this is a serious historical manga about feudal Japan...or at least it is about that for about 30 pages For Katajikenai. From flawfuls. (rec)
  55. Short shoujo horror anthology, with no real overarching theme. For Shoujotachi no Kaidan. From A Huge Battleship. (rev)
  56. So far a good series, lots of detail in Ainu hunting methods and the art is good and expressive. For Golden Kamui. From MetroidPrimeRib. (imp)
  57. I guess it's your turn to get a spin-off! though I guess it's actually putting some focus on the romance so can't be too bad. For Fairy Tail Gaiden - Lord Knight. From dakkumauji.
  58. Though to go from breaking up with your longtime boyfriend to now at someones doorsteps trying to get them to give you attention was an unusual place to start. For Tsumasaki Kara Aisarete 01. From Dedication Through Light. (imp)
  59. Its funny at times and executes everything well. Will keep following it. For Dramatic ni Ubae! 01. From Dedication Through Light. (imp)

  71. It's a story about a guy who wanted to meet supernatural beings but didn't realized that they were around him the whole time in one day. Hikari cutie 3.142 thou For Demi-chan wa Kataritai. From Sir Blaming.
  72. Pretty good collection of shorts by Kengo Hanazawa full of all the perverts, failed romances and cringe moments and a Kengo Hanazawa would hope for. So far I think the boxing match breakup story has been the best by far, but Chinpa sure is something as well... For Tokkaten. From flawfuls.

The only hope for this Manga-|OT| is if it turns into a Stalker, and then into a Yandere

too long? too long.

Domestic Na Kanojo 79

I approve of this couple.
Too bad it's gonna go dumb drama-y again soon.
The fluff always lasts way too short.
