And here I thought that F1 suddenly gained the ability to see the future. ^_^

Mx0 huh? I was planning to read Fairy Tail after Eyeshield21 (35 more chapters currently left to read), but I suppose I'll check Mx0 out first then.

Edit: Finished reading all available Eyeshield21. On to Mx0 and I must admit that it's pretty neat.

Edit #2: Finished reading what was currently out of Mx0. Nice.

I just set aside a large portion of my saturday evening, sunday evening, and this evening to read the Claymore chapters up till the most current (73 ish?). Really interesting. It also makes me want to read Berserk beyond where I last left off at volume 6.

I am also reading Angel Desentsu which is an earlier work by the same artist as Claymore. Very funny.

Recently read the complete series Futaba-kun Change!, by Hiroshi Aro. It has often been compared to Ranma 1/2 and I can certainly see why; it is exceedingly likely that Aro was inspired by Takahashi's work.

Overall, I would say that the manga is good, but it goes downhill beginning in volume seven, and the ending absolutely sucks monkey balls. The series was 48 chapters in eight volumes, but the storyline only takes up the first 46 chapters; the last two are filler.

The scans I have are, I believe, direct scans of the Ironcat publication from several years back. Ironcat has been out of business for a few years, and the series is long out-of-print in Japan (it was in Shounen Jump).

I found the series at StopTazmo.

"Junk: The Last Hero" just read vol. 1 and was wondering if the series gets crappy later, because for some reason i like it so far.
Depends. I was so-so on the whole thing from chapter 1, so I can't really give you an unbiased opinion. But I've stopped reading it because (in my opinion) the story started meandering and I didn't have that much interest in it to begin with. I read up to volume 5 IIRC.

What the hell? Has anyone here read Mirai Nikki? Is it just me, or is that girl a supreme stalker?

Mirai Nikki rocks my socks, and that is all. Seriously, creepy stalker girls ftw.

Holy crap that girl scares me. Man, she ran through the halls... Stargazing? That's incredibly creepy. And every ten minutes? Jacking off must be incredibly uncomfortable for him.

Caught up on AirGear and some Bowling King. Then I read Girlsaurus and DX.

Read Claymore a few days ago. About to read newest Mx0.

At least Yuno's diary can't read his thoughts, or Yuki'd be so screwed.

True. But Yuno is really talented and extremely intelligent. I'd consider her a marysue if she wasn't so incredibly crazy.

"I didn't need to use my tools to persuade her." There is nothing more terrifying than a stalker.

Her Sue-ness was properly shown when she noticed the poison's weight in the tomatoes, which IMO was a seriously WTF moment. Yuno would be annoying if she wasn't so batshit crazy.

I'd still hit it, though.

Yuki's the only one more or less normal as a diary holder. And yeah, Yuno is the Stalker from Hell. Batshit crazy doesn't even began to cover what she is.

Mirai nikki's okay. But the whole thing with those books not to mention that obscenely faggot ass main character just pisses me off more than a shinji fapping to asuka in EOE.

On a different note, I'm currently (trying) to follow Ryuroden, Kodomo no jikan, and sekirei with emphasis on the last of the three. It seems kmt just released a shitload of scans and then dropped off the face of the planet. The others get released on a semi regular basis with ryuroden being limited to IRC. Unfortunately for me, I still can't figure it out so I'll have to wait patiently for my ryuroden and (especially) the next couple of chapters for sekirei. (Note, if anyone has something past chapter 40, I would be very happy to take it off your hands. Be a pal!) :D .

Mirai Nikki is amusing and extremely odd. Watching how completely and utterly nuts the majority of the cast is is a great source of amusement. I am a bit bothered though at the fact that the little boy, who I believe I read was 3 somewhere, has that much knowledge about electrocuting people and poisons...crazy killer shota...

Read Elfen Lied, chapter 78 earlier. More of a side plot, than anything dealing with the main storyline.

If you haven't noticed...

Besides reading and being up-to-date with Bleach...

read the recent AMG mangas. Hence, my thread about it. :p

Give Fairy Tail a quick read, its great fun. Is it a must-read? No, but if you enjoyed One-Piece, you'd probably dig Fairy Tail too. The art is similar to One Piece though, so that might give you hangups when you start getting characters confused (hey its 4 in the morning here). Other manga I've been reading... Ga-rei (hasn't been updated in awhle), Mx0, HxH, One Piece, ID, bleach.... basically mindless but enjoyable shounen mangas.

I'm still sticking with Kodomo no Jikan and Sekirei, although the latter has yet to receive any updates. Likewise, Kekkaishi doesn't seem to have any new chapters recently. Luckily, Mx0 has just updated to chapter 58.
 
Kodomo no jikan gets updated fairly well. That and MXO are the ones i spend time to looking for new updates on. I fear that we will be forever locked away from sekirei since no one seem interested in scanlating it. however, there are rumors that someone has put up up to 47 of sekirei on IRC. I don't have/know how to use it so maybe someone wants to look it up. I think chapter 30 is the latest for kodomo.
