    Hajime no Ippo - Ch. 1483 - The Mediators

    Takamura is the resident mary sue author's favorite character, no way he'll do anything but bumble ass-backwards into every success he can dream of, except with women.

    My Student Grew Huge and Proposed to Me - Ch. 18

    Man, this still feels like it's straddling the line to something weird. Something ain't quite right with that boy, and it feels like our female lead is just going along with it out of horniness, despite her reservations.

    Tsuruko Returns the Favor - Ch. 33 - KAZUNOKO-SAN

    Anything to progress the plot, huh? I kind of love it. The tease at the start, like a sensual fan dance "Ooh, you want this plot, don't you? Look, the protagonist remembers the plot, oh he's going to follow up on it any minute now..." and then FUCK NO! Here's a completely irrelevant side plot...

    R15+ Ja Dame Desuka? - Vol. 5 Ch. 43 - Rival

    That's... actually a pretty decent justification, all things considered. Color me surprised. Obviously, proper communication would be preferable, but given the trauma associated, and the age of her daughter, it kinda loops back around to her movie ban being not the most unreasonable thing in the...

    R15+ Ja Dame Desuka? - Vol. 5 Ch. 43 - Rival

    Fuck rivals, I'm fully on team Senpai. After that post-bath talk I'm a believer, the two have great chemistry.

    Hajime no Ippo - Ch. 1482 - Reverberating Conclusion

    "The better boxer won" is such a fucking baffling statement. Apparently Rosario is secretly one of the most powerful boxers in the series, considering he beat Mashiba at his most dedicated and prepared, with zero prep of his own, shit conditioning, failed weight control, lackadaisical approach...

    Haruka Reset - Vol. 15 Ch. 116 - I Like Cats?

    Did we need that lovingly drawn, realistic shot of cat anus and balls?

    Hajime no Ippo - Ch. 1481 - Reach!

    I guess the more accurate answer is that "the message is whatever Morikawa wants it to be for any given arc, and fuck consistency". Because while the story has forgotten about him, Itagaki's entire fucking thing was that he's this incredibly one in a million talent of a boxer, but his attitude's...

    Hajime no Ippo - Ch. 1481 - Reach!

    I disagree. Rosario losing here would show that this mythical construct of "the world stage" they keep talking about isn't the kind of place where even a champ (or a "monster" to use Takamura's example) can survive if he slacks off, because another monster that's hungrier and more dedicated will...

    Chainsaw Man - Ch. 191 - Cuz I'm a Devil

    Part 2 feels like it's written one chapter at a time, with the main goal not being to tell something resembling a coherent story with characters you can actually get attached to before they're unceremoniously killed, but rather to create some new outrageous and wacky thing to happen every...

    Hajime no Ippo - Ch. 1481 - Reach!

    Imagine how bad this would be if the world champ had been set up as this lazy, undisciplined bum who barely trained for this, was in shit condition, and got his ass handed to him for most of the match. Imagine if the entire arc had been all about how Mashiba had been struggling all his life and...

    Tsuruko Returns the Favor - Ch. 32 - THE CRANE’S WISH

    Thank god we're back to our regularly scheduled lack of plot. I was almost afraid that after last chapter we'd finally address the massive elephant in the room that is the protagonist's dead sister, but thankfully we avoided that nonsense splendidly.

    Hiiragi-san Is a Little Careless - Vol. 5 Ch. 52

    "No, Hiiragi-san, we can't have sex. If we did, we would no longer be virginal and naive enough for our virgin readers to experience vicariously something they'll never have for themselves in real life. Thus, we must remain chaste until the time skip, where the existence of children will vaguely...

    Kirio Fanclub - Vol. 3 Ch. 17

    This bitch is fucking crazy, but given the protagonists, that's just par for the course. So I guess she's alright.

    Akebi-chan no Sailor Fuku - Vol. 15 Ch. 81 - One Problem Child After Another!

    Hot, sweaty, animalistic hand holding all night long. Fingers writhing around fingers, thrusting into palms, wrists quivering and undulating. It was fucking disgusting and beautiful, I bet.

    SPY×FAMILY - Ch. 110

    While the reveal is probably shocking to no one, it's still nice how well it was set up. We get the older son with the completely blank thoughts, the weird dinner where nobody said a word, but the father was still really happy about it, and now the telepath reveal, where we're also told that the...

    Hiiragi-san Is a Little Careless - Vol. 5 Ch. 51

    Wait, he has? I can't remember that at all.

    Hiiragi-san Is a Little Careless - Vol. 5 Ch. 51

    I kind of want the next chapter to be suddenly R-rated, as the fluffy hand holding romance switches to sweaty, filthy animal pounding for just that one chapter, and then we're back to blushing fluff.

    SHY - Vol. 16 Ch. 136 - Climbing Scar Peak

    Man, I just can't come around on Pilse's mother at all. First you neglect your child, then you briefly connect, take her to an active warzone into an area that hasn't been sweeped for bombs, the predictable thing happens through really no fault of hers, and you immediately neglect your grieving...

    Omiai ni Sugoi Komyushou ga Kita - Vol. 1 Ch. 4

    While I agree that MTL are by and large a mixed bag, and providing something better is a noble effort, it's also pretty lame to shit on a dude who at least bothered with translating and sharing a clearly abandoned manga. The translation was rough, but good enough to get the gist, and it's not...
