I just set up my RSS feed to pull new Franken Fran chapters from his site whenever they're released. More specifically, here's the blog post where Hox translated a large batch and released it.

Ah I see, so that's the reason there's a gap there. Thank you for the info

Actually, I don't know the reason for the gap. I know recently they were all up on Mangatoshokan when I was showing someone a chapter. For some reason they seem to have been removed.

[COLOR="Teal"]Oh really? I didn't find them there when I checked D:
It said that they're missing the raws for those chapters, so they'll get it when vol 5 comes out.[/COLOR]
Anyone else keeping up with the One Piece anime? I'm digging the thing they're doing where they update the current situation of the characters in the anime, while moving the story ahead in the manga (cept it's a flashback right now, but w/e)
Spoiler
Gay Sanji made me lol, and wtp Kuma is some sort of double agent that used to be in Dragon's crew :O

It seems pretty clear that you've been reading the manga, so let me comment on one of the things in that spoiler based on what's already been said.
Spoiler
Recall in the Marineford arc, when Ivankov is confronted by Kuma. Kuma didn't even recognize Ivankov, which is when they established the connection of Kuma and Ivankov both being in Dragon's crew. According to Doflamingo, Kuma is "dead"- as his Pacifista modifications have been completed and he lost his personality, memory, and will. We don't really know why Kuma joined the ranks of the Shichibukai in the first place, but he seemed like a pretty moral, reasonable dude and he showed some defiance to orders from the marines; but now he's totally obedient to everything the marines say.
I was referring to the silhouette of Kuma aboard Dragons ship while he was saving the trashtown people
I wonder what everyone's DBZ powerup is gonna be...
Sanji's gonna learn Okama Tae Kwon Do
Franky gonna get an upgrade from vegapunk or the kid
Chopper gonna get a giant pet bird?
Nami gonna learn to be a meteorologist
Brookes gonna start his own cult
and Robin becomes the leader of a fascist country? O_O
and holy crap i knew FMA was almost over but damn didn't think the next chapter would be the last....great ending to a great story though.
Kinda sad that there's no more FMA but hopefully hiroku's next manga will be just as good

I think it's more like a general buff to their strength speed and stamina.
Sanji has been running around like crazy since like forever. Builds leg strength.
Franky will probably tweak his mechanics so he runs on something more efficient. (because seriously, running out of juice sucks ass and it happens too often)
Chopper i agree with. I don't know what else it would be other than learning how to survive?
Nami is probably just going to get some new gadgets and learn a lot more about how the weather works.
Brooks...dunno.
Robin had to work on that huge ass bridge. All those hands working on the bridge will definetly build her strength and probably the way she uses her powers.
Fullmetal Alchemist chapter 108 <FINAL>
Wow, what a splendid ending. It was a true and great ending, unlike the first anime series, in which the ending left people with a "Will he reunite with Al?". The thing with Winry at the end was very cute, and it seemed like Ed wanted an actual answer from Winry. I liked how this manga ended. 10/10!

Aww. Ed and Al's dad died on his wifes grave. Cute. I always forget names.. I read too many T_T.
Yeah it was pretty epic. Glad the author knows when to end the series too, anyone read Psyren here? I started yesterday and finished today. It's pretty good.
Oh and. CURSE YEN PRESS FOR SUSPENDING SOUL EATER T_T.
Fullmetal Alchemist 108 (ENDING): Bravo, Hiromu Arakawa. It's been a pleasure reading this series. I felt attached and emotionally invested to all of the characters throughout this ride, and the ending definitely payed off nicely. Arakawa flawlessly resolved all of the subplots and every character and their goals were addressed. The conclusion of the fight was incredibly well done, and I really had to applaud Ed's solution to defeating Truth. After that and seeing all of the plot points addressed and resolved, the ending left me very satisfied. It was a great ride to the finish, Fullmetal Alchemist. This was one of the first anime/manga I had ever gotten into when I started getting into anime/manga around the end of elementary school; and now that it's over, I feel very fulfilled and also quite a bit sad.
Was this better than the first anime? Actually, I'm still sort of debating that to myself. Despite the nonsensical choices that Bones chose to go with (for an example, Lust's death and her being incredibly out of character around the later half of the first anime), I felt that the experience was very good. Fullmetal Alchemist's first anime struck me as having stronger focus than the manga's storyline when it did get to the plot, and I'd say the mood was darker than that of the manga. Not to mention, the direction they took the plot was pretty nice: darker and a bit more mature; but also took the story in direction that felt less like a generic shonen. It's only a pity that the ending felt lacking, and the movie was a horrible ending. However, the manga's story was very strong too. Free of nasty plotholes and choices that the first anime had, and everything was pretty clear and explained well. And of course, Fullmetal Alchemist's last chapters were simply amazing- amazing plot twists left and right, and it was incredibly intense. The ending was perfect and well done, in contrast to the anime. After this, I'd have to say they were probably about equal.
My Balls 1-25: Goddamn, this is a hilarious series and I love it so far. When Spidey said that she felt that the series was dragging, she wasn't kidding. I've hit past the half-way mark, and there's 5 days left in the month I expect to see the hell story stretch out for a long deal of time, with one final arc tossed in there. I just hope that the quality doesn't dip despite the story dragging. 4chan translated the ending recently, so I'll try to finish it as soon as possible.
Deadman Wonderland 36- holy wt*f. Shiro finally shows herself as the wretched egg. I guess the normal Shiro had to "die" for the wretched egg to be released. So mockingbird I guess is trying to protect Ganta? Because he just in jested 20 deadman's parts so he has a ton of deadman blood power.

Well, looks like Ganta can't ever get anything he wants ever.

Just started reading Tasogare Otome x Amnesia. I like it a lot so far. It's about a kid who meets this girl and it turns out she's a ghost. Only he can see her, but he can touch her and everything and she can touch him. It's horror mixed with some comedy and ecchi.
edit- Just finished reading up to the latest chapter on mangafox. This is definitely up there with mysterious girlfriend X, the world god only knows, and deadman wonderland in terms of my favorites.
Well, now we see where Luffy's fear of losing comrades is- nice parallelism between the events on the Shabondy Archipelago and here, with "not letting anyone else disappear." Also, the first time that Luffy shows any wavering in his dream, which is shocking. Now that the flashback is over, they can finally move on to Luffy becoming stronger, perhaps learning how to control Haki?
I like the contrast of the last flashback where Luffy took out the Lord of the Coast in one hit and then it gets back to the present time where he is utterly down saying "I'm Weak!" I don't think he'll go emo on this, this feels more like when Robin got frozen by Aokiji and he was able to develop Gears 2+3 off screen.
There's a huge hint that Sabo is still alive too with Dragon dragging someone with him who needed medical treatment and makes me think that Sabo is free now. Although I don't see how Oda can easily place Sabo is alive in the current story without making Ace's death insignificant.
