Never before have I seen such a bad chapter of manga. Actually, I don't think "bad" even begins to describe how terrible this chapter was. It was atrocious. I think Tite Kubo is a chimpanzee.
Good man, I've been following that blog of yours; and I can't agree any more with your Bleach 390 post. Suprised you didn't do a rant on the infamous "The Heart" two-page panel when you did your 200th blog post and added a section on you marathoning through Bleach. Ugh, never again. Honestly, why do I even bother with this train wreck? I started with it when I was in middle school and when Hueco Mundo started coming out, although I was fairly young and around the target audience Kubo aimed for; honestly, even I could see how bad it was and how there was something horribly amiss. Why does this series even have fans, and hell: why is there even a debate to which is better of the unholy trinity of neverending shonen manga? Bleach shouldn't even be considered in the running against Naruto and One Piece; and even Naruto isn't that crappy even considering the crappy chapters where Masashi Kishimoto focuses entirely wristcutting emo in Sasuke, and well, One Piece is insanely good! Kubo, I noticed, has this weird obsession with striking readers with Bleach as "cool". There's gimmick for this and that, and there's "epic" two page panels litered everywhere to try to make things look cooler when they really have no meaning; but in reality, we're not that dumb and can see how it's absolute rubbish.
That being said, here's my personal list for manga being currently released:
-Mysterious Girlfriend X
-Mahou Sensei Negima
-One Piece
-Naruto
-Bleach
-Hayate no Gotoku
-Fullmetal Alchemist
-Watashi ni XX Shinasai!
-Soul Eater
-Kodomo no Jikan
-Franken Fran (except they won't damn update this.)
-REC
Hm, Khoi, I've already somewhat showed my love for Watashi ni XX Shinasai! on your visitor messages. I just saw an update for it on OneManga some time ago, and thought it sounded familiar and decided to check it out. I recognized what it was, and I trusted your word on this; and came out absolutely loving this. Yukina is a pretty damn awesome heroine for a shoujo manga: unlike most wimpy shoujo heroines who think only of love, the first thing that comes to mind is that she comes off as strong as the heroine of the manga and pretty strong-willed as a person versus a lot of shoujo heroines. This is something that's hardly been done; and that's something very nice about this manga: a great protagonist. The next thing you notice is her obvious intelligence and cunning; and yet under her cold and somewhat calculating exterior, she's confused and lonely. Definitely a well-written protagonist.
