Bi-Monthly! Omaera Zenin Mendokusai 1: Tomodachi Jiyanakute, Sensei Desu

What will you do when one of your students doesn't have any friends? She suggests that you; her teacher, become her temporary friend only until she makes another friend. Will you agree? Ahhh, complicated relationships! Here's a new series offered to us by Tobi (pen name of the mangaka) and is serialized in Comic Meteor.

Omaera Zenin Mendokusai! translated means, Everyone is a Pain (that's the really idiotic translation, but for me it should mean like that and not "You guys are all troublesome" because that sounds wrong). 

The chapter title is: Tomodachi Janakute, Sensei Desu (友達 じゃなくて, 先生 です) translates to, "I'm not your friend! I'm your teacher!" I just want to show off my Japanese. Thanks Textfugu!

Weekly! UQ Holder 25

Touta suppresses the Magia Erebia, granting "Mercy" upon Kaito. In their final showdown, they arm wrestle. It's like that one filler episode in Naruto where the Raikage and the Hokage arm wrestle and the Raikage wins for is speed but it's turns around and the strong person wins this time. Who could that be? Also, there is a little teary moment in this chapter so don't be hating on it because of that.

Previously on: UQ Holder 24: Touta becomes totally consumed by Magia Erebia. Completely obliterating Kaito with sheer strength and battle intuition. Defeating and immobilized, Kaito is ready to die an honorable death in the hands of a worthy opponent.

Updates: March 6, 2014

O hisashiburi! I've really been slacking off with my blog now and I haven't posted a real review for a while now. Sorry about that. Anyway, I have news that might shock you!

I have created a class for Manga! It's called Manga Studies 100: The Study of Modern Printed Visual Culture. It's a virtual class that I have started. I basically plan on teaching the basics of manga, the history of manga and the manga industry (how manga is made, published, serialized and whatnot). The problem I have is how to organize this class I started. I just wanted to create a Google Community where people can head to and learn about manga even if it's just adds a tiny bit of knowledge. I'm hoping it's gonna be a short course that people can follow in their own time.

I've posted an album that contains images that have text in them and that's how I would like to do the reading. So if you're interested, here's the link! Manga Studies 100: The Study of Modern Printed Visual Culture.

Tell me what you think about this virtual class. Comments? Suggestions? Recommendations? Anything would help, really. Thanks for taking your time to read this!

Weekly! Naruto 667:

Kabuto is back! He's become a good guy now because he now knows who he is! Whew! Wait, what is this!? Kabuto giving his long and thick snake to Sasuke? To give Hashi cells? No doubt about it, Sasuke is gonna have a Rinnegan now. Meanwhile, Guy-sensei opens his 7th Gate and fights with Madara. Exhaustion took over but not a single scratch on Madara. With only one way to do defeat Madara, Guy gets ready to unleash the Red Beast.

Shukkan Shounen Jump 15-2014

Previously on: Naruto 666: Obito takes some of the chakra of the 1 tail and 8 tails from Madara. He teams up with Kakashi to teleport him faster to the Kamui Dimension where he gives Naruto the other half of Kurama. Guy saves Kakashi from Madara's black balls. Seriously. That's what they call them, Minato says so. Officially named, "Madara's Black Balls."

Warning! This chapter contains testicles. Madara's black balls of death.

Monthly! Clockwork Planet 1: RyuZu Yourslave

This series began serializing way back in September 2013 and they only decided to translate it recently so I'll just put this on my list of series to review every month. As the title says, humans are living in a Clockwork Planet because Earth is finished and can no longer be habitable. Earth looks like Saturn now because it has a Gear-Ring around it and it has floating cities that are made from gears. It's like a clock. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that we have automatas in this story. Steampunk innards with human skin, these automatas would turn you into a Hideki loving her Persocom named Chi (reference: Chobits by Clamp).

The art is totally modern and shounen in a lot of ways. If you watched last year's anime titled "Unbreakable Machine-Doll" and liked it, this might appeal to you. If you like robot looking like humans that are totally loyal and will do anything for their master, then go ahead and read this. No, perv, not those kinds of orders.

Weekly! Naruto 665 & 666

Obito comes to life with enough chakra to use his Mangekyou. He learns about Madara using him for his selfish yet good reasons. Obito attacks Madara, sucks out a bit of the One-Tail and Eight-Tails chakra. Then Kakashi and Obito teleport NaruSaku to the Time-Space Dimension created by Kamui. Obito seals the Kyuubi's chakra inside Naruto and Guy-sensei saves Kakashi from certain death.

 

Weekly Shonen Jump 13 and 14 2014

Previously on: Naruto 664: Karin senses an unfamiliar chakra standing in front of Sasuke (the foot of mystery). Forced comedy by Guy-sensei and Rock Lee. Madara spitting out the Sage Tools. Naruto successfully delivered to Minato. Gaara speaks of Kurama's plan and Black Zetsu overhears it. Minato was intercepted by Black Zetsu  while transferring the "other half" of Kurama. Now the Black Aloe Vera is the new Jinchuuriki for the Kyuubi. As if that isn't enough tension, Madara comes.

Monthly! Attack on Titan: Before the Fall 4

This chapter doesn't tell much but it was a decent one. Kyokurou gets released from his captivity by believers. He rescues Charle and they walk away to freedom. That's basically it.

Not sure if this is the correct issue for this month's chapter.

Previously on: Attack on Titan: Before the Fall: A group of wall worshippers led by a pregnant leader were eaten by a 15 meter class titan. When the titan vanished, it left the undigested corpses of the wall worshippers. The pregnant leader; now dead, gave birth to Kyokurou; the Titan child. Sold for auction, the Mr. Innocencio bought him as a present for his son as a punching bag to get ready to be a soldier. Charle, confronted Kyokurou in an attempt to kill the titan child but her humanity stopped her. They later become friends and Kyokurou was taught how to read, write and speak their language. They planned to flee the Innocencio household when things started to steer sideways.

Currently watching Steins;Gate. If you watched it, you know what kind of soda it is.

Warning! This series contains gore, graphic violence and blood.

Weekly! Fuuka 4

When you have a sister working for an advertising company, you get some perks. When you're a new transfer student and still have no friends, who will you invite to watch a movie? You probably know how this story will end...

Flying Fuuka!

Previously on: Fuuka 3: We are introduced to Koyuki "Tama" Hinashi; Yuu's childhood friend and maybe his first love? (BTW, Tama-chan is a famous idol.) Yuu sees Fuuka crying and came to the conclusion that she got rejected by the upperclassman who recruited her to the Track Club. She clears it up with Yuu and he runs away like a wuss again. We get to see a connection finally building up.
