Various manga

It seems like a lot of series got updated this week. Which is good. I'm still making my way through One Piece (up to chapter 401!) so I do have stuff to read but you can't really compare One Piece to some of the other series that I'm currently reading.


Kuroshitsuji is one of those series that I've only recently have gotten into. I've wanted to read it for about a year now but the scanlations come out so slow. When I saw that the anime had started being released (hmm... I wonder if ep 2 is out by now...) I decided to read the manga even though there was only 6 chapters out at the time. Anyway, the next 3 chapters finally made it to onemanga.com

OMG! Ceil is so cute dressed up as a girl! I now kinda wish he was a girl so he always looked like that. And I loved the interaction between girl!Ceil and tutor!Sebastian. If Ceil was older, I would totally ship them. As it is, I love the bond that they share.

And I'm totally not surprised that Madam Red and Grell were Jack the Ripper. I figured it was either one of them or both. I kinda love Grell's real form, it's so much cooler than his butler form.


*drools* Such a big update. I'll now ignore the fact that there probably won't be another big update until Volume 19 is released (whenever that is) since Anonymous seems to only like working with the volumes and not the chapters released in JUMP.

Can I just say that I hated Vijaya? I didn't like how he was so willing to turn on Godai when they were friends in the past (hell Godai was his only friend!). And for what? A group of cultist who are determined to take over the world, killing all humans in the process. And I'm rather disappointed that the chapters end at the best part which is where he dies.

Other than that there wasn't enough Neuro. *thinks* Although it's probably not possible to get enough of him. I did however like the fact he turned Yako's cellphone into a shock gun (how thoughtful of him! Now he can abuse her even when he's not around! XD). And it amused me greatly that as soon as Neuro couldn't move, the immediate reaction is for everyone to try and get revenge on him (and failing, lulz).

Oh yeah...

Neuro + haired tied back = hot


Eh, I really don't have much to say except for 'yay new arc!'. That and I'm kinda annoyed that all the girls got turned into stone. I'm really not looking forward to an arc without them.

Erza was looking cute during this chapter though and Lluvia's new outfit (which first appeared a few chapters ago) is really nice.


Another Level 4 Akuma. Eh, I'm not concerned. Allen and Lenalee were able to take the last one down so surely Allen, Kanda and Noise Marie will also have no problem.

I'm guessing the kid will become a new Exorcist. We've already seen with Lenalee's past that the Order has no problem in using children so I can't really see them changing now especially since Hitler Lvellie is still around.

Speaking of new characters, Link is growing on me. I dislike his name though. Whenever I think 'Link' I think of the video game character.

I really don't have much to say on Naruto and Bleach even though I know that both were also released this week. Both are in the middle of battles and I can't really comment on battles unless I'm whining about them going on for to long (which isn't the case yet for the current battles).

I wonder if I'll get really lucky and find that in a few days Pandora Hearts has been updated.

Oh, you're reading Kuroshitsuji too? I took one look and went "Oh look, it's Vincent from FF7 in Turks form" and the chef looks like Cid Highwind, and that was that. I didn't know there was an anime though...

*snaps fingers* That's why they look so familiar! I could figure it out until you pointed it out!

re: Kuroshitsuji: It was THE first thought I had, and the reason I read it. All I saw was Vincent, from the hair to the red eyes to the demeanor to the way he moves. I saw something about Square Enix - dunno if they're sponsering it or what, so I guess that would make sense?

I just watched the first two episodes of the anime. The second episode corresponds with manga ch. 3 & 4 so even without subs it was fine. For some reason I assumed Ciel would have dark blonde or brown hair, but he's still cute. And Sebastian looks good.

re: Neuro: Everytime I see the name Vijaya I think vajayjay, and I don't think that's the mental image I should be getting -_- I imagine the rest of book 18 should be translated pretty quickly, but then we'll probably hit another drought until the next one's out : p

Oh good, Kuroshitsuji 10 is up ^^

I saw! And it made me ridiculously happy that it was updated so soon too.

Yeah, it runs in Square Enix's shounen magazine (I can't remember what it's called, GFantasy or something like that). The first time I saw it my reaction was 'damn, that looks familiar...' but I could never figure it out. I've only seen the first episode of the anime but I liked what I saw.

As for Vijaya, I think vajayjay whenever I see his name. -_-
