    I've read both of them, but I had to drop New Waves after nothing happened for the past for months.

    Lacking for anything manga-related to obsess over while Tower of God continues to be on hiatus, picked up DICE a couple days ago and read the whole thing in one go.

    Fun series, somewhat similar in concept to The Gamer. Recently updated, and it seems as good a time as any to plug it because shit looks to be getting real.

    Nobody does bullies and assholes like the Koreans.

    Their school and office ecosystems must be fucking brutal.

    Only the sequel, I thought the first one was kinda meh.

    I started Toriko, finished it in two days. Really funny manga, drawing is pretty crude, but I enjoyed it. Reminded me a fair bit of HxH with some One Piece and even DB thrown in. 4/5.

    ...I did absolutely detest that small cook, though. Hate hate hate.

    Being bullied is something I would think to be universally hellish for those unfortunate enough to have to endure it. Still, one certainly does get the sense that school bullying is a particularly epidemic problem over there, considering how brutal and pervasive a theme it is in so many manhwa.

    Vinland Saga managed to take a couple days out of my life, thoroughly enjoyable for it's only-slightly-amazingly-strong individualss and the lack of what I'm going to in general call 'magic.'

    I was already super-interested by the direction HunterxHunter had taken, but after this last chapter, I'm giddy with excitement. No one delivers cool lines quite like Togashi does.

    That's unexpected progress. I'm tempted to actually read it, now.

    Yeah, not very satisfied with how that fight went, though I guess I can buy the excuse that Earl Shi just didn't give a fuck about whether or not he survived.

    Read Historie, so I went ahead and searched about the historcal characters. Should rename this to 'Eumenes, the man who was raped and beaten by life again and agan. Subtitle: More depressing than Russian literature.'

    Hunter X Hunter is actually making me exited again. I'm surprised and impressed.

    Togashi's still got the touch.

    Tower of God can be found here. Official translation that actually came online before the Korean raws. So speed is good. Unfortunately, the actual translation isn't very good. And it's all we're going to get considering that The Company and Mangacow have both dropped the series in the wake of Naver branching into the English-speaking market.

    As for the chapter itself, not really much worth noting. More recap than anything else.

    My god, the translation is horrible. They even misspelled "Baldy", is QC not a thing with Naver? And the official names are... well.

    I might drop ToG at this rate, for six months to a year, so that when/if I come back I won't feel this jarring dissonance.

    I know, right? I could sit here and bitch about it for hours and still have more to say, but ultimately there's no point. I'm too addicted to Tower of God to ever drop it, even if that means reading a much shittier translation. And at least this version puts money directly in SIU's pocket.

    Why does the new ToG look so weird. It stretches to the full window size and because of that, you cant see very far down the page and have to scroll up and down to see the panels in the correct order. Anyone know how to fix that?
