    ...that's not a shot at you or anything, btw.

    Edit: Okay, I'm going to actually look at Zatch Bell!. It is finished, and thus I don't need to worry that it's going to continue onward and upwards to like, #600 while I'm struggling to remember everything as the chapters come out on a monthly basis. ^_^ Will be a good action break from my Manhwa stuff (I'm exaggerating, it's not all Rom-com, I'm also reading Dandadan as an example).

    Edit 2: I'll note that while the action in Dandadan is Weird As Shit™, it's also easy to follow wrt cause/effect etc. It's bizarre but makes perfect sense in context.

    Also, looking back we have posts from Siriel and Miburo on the same page. O_o Truly the end times are upon us.

    *reads first half-dozen pages of Zatch Bell!*

    *minimizes screen and stares blankly out the window for five minutes*

    Nik, what the crap did you get me into?

    *continues reading*

    I read quick and am used to big series, 300 chapters is very manageable haha.

    Edit 2: I'll note that while the action in Dandadan is Weird As Shit™, it's also easy to follow wrt cause/effect etc. It's bizarre but makes perfect sense in context.
    It is probably my favourite new series running at the moment. So inventive and funny but also really stellar art and choreography. It's aggressively my sort of thing.

    A naked child smashing through a window clinging to an eagle with fish strapped to his back is quite the inciting incident I'll admit haha.

    The issue for me is that after 120 chapters I have problems keeping stuff straight, mostly because I do all of my reading at work when I'm not working. ^_^ So I read in bits and pieces (or binge, like today, where I'm at work because of training, but it hasn't started yet and I can't do anything else because my back is shot).

    ESPECIALLY with stuff that isn't finished and comes out every month or whatever.

    I'm enjoying it immensely.

    I tell you, it was not expected.

    Dangit Sharp, you mentioned it and I just read through the first 4 chapters of Zatch Bell.

    I am so busy at work today, now is not the time for reading ;_;

    However, so many good faces. Just an abundance of good faces in this series.

    Like, this page alone:



    Chef kiss.

    i love these idiots.

    Mizuno is such a great source of comedy in the series.

    I can't see that at work, so I'll look at it at home. But she's pretty fun so far. ^_^

    All must suffer, Nik. ^_^

    I'm reading chapter 11 despite also puttering around work; I'm hooked, I guess. ^_^

    Edit: hilarious how beat up the central character gets. Like, constantly.

    [Zatch] What does the note say? I understand some Hiragana, but there's too much Kanji.

    [Me] *sighs* Yeah. I know.
