I am keeping up with Ippo because the last 2 arcs had characters progression for the first time in years so i was angry at it too but not anymore. I just hope that some form of age progression will set in. Onepiece is as you can see now a 6/10 for me(1 point below my reading list minimum). After the timejump the manga just dove off a cliff for me. How many leads to we have now who are doing nothing ? The women are now fanservice only and the current arc is game of death because Hunger Games is sweeping the nation or something. I will finish the arc and will give the next one 4 chapters max. If i am still not having fun then good night for good. About the big death at the end of the "war". The most sad manga death ever ANN wrote recently because of a japanese poll. 85% sure that X is not dead. Also i did not care which is bad. X was just stuffed in a refrigerator to have character progression for Luffy and a big bang for the end of part 1. Another reason for my possible jumping off is that we are now "only" 55-60% finished with the story. Nope i don´t think so. The perfect length for a good shonen fighty thingy is 30 Volumes in my book because after that problems/burnout start.
I also got rid of 2 manga´s on my list because of this topic and for quality i will wait 4ever. Miura, Takehiko, Togashi take a bow and go search for Yazawa Ai-onesan laugh .
Fun google fact: Christianity 99,800,000 results. One Piece: 304,000,000 results.
Only the christian alternative Jesus can beat it with: 590,000,000 results.
Or Michael Jackson with: 421,000,000 results. Dear cyberspace LOL.
@herrdachs I linked to a letter to Miura at the topic "Youve read Berserk...right?". Page 3.
About 10ish more years as it stands now and he is 48 years old so all the dumb rumours can go to hell.

I'll keep reading as long as it's good, I dropped the big 3 series because I just couldn't keep up reading them, naruto at a pretty early stage, one piece around volume 35 and bleach when it entered the final arc(for some reason)... still, series that are slow to update that's been going on for years (berserk, vagabond) I read every once in a while.

I've reread berserk 3 times waiting for new chapters, now I'm thinking of holding it off till it's finished, which might never happen at this pace I fear.
I haven't read Vagabond for about 2 years now dead and am thinking of rereading the whole thing.

But yeah, I'm the type to read manga for as long as it's good. It's a dilemma really. I mean, the good series that go on for a long time tend to reduce in quality (imo) with exceptions, and the really good ones that end early, well that just leaves me longing for more. So either I read a series long enough for it to leave a bad taste, or I'm left desperately wanting more just because. Most of the time it's like that anyways. Again, with exceptions laugh roll eyes

None of it really fits for me.. For example One Piece, the long run which hasn't finished yet, I miss like 2 months worth of chapters every now and then and continue to read the latest chapter like I didn't miss any. But these long series are bound to be good because it wont survive this long without it being axed if it's really bad. (Tough dragged on if it has become classic)

Oh and the legendary extremely long Hajime No Ippo, I read it years ago and was KOed at some point, I'd like to read it again if I ever got a hunch for reading Martials Art tough.

PS: I forgot Hunter X Hunter... I read when the author is on hiatus and stop when the author is actually working, somehow. Guess he's having fun with Naoko (Sailor Moon author) while I'm reading. none

It depends on how long I have been reading it. No matter how long or short the series is, whether it is ongoing or completed, if I have been reading it for a long time then I'm most likely to keep reading it. Otherwise I drop it the moment I feel that its boring. After years of reading manga, now it isn't easy to follow a series unless I feel that it is worth my time. I've gotten very picky.

This really depends on what the manga story is. The ones that are really good and keep me interested, I read as it updates. For shoujos, they often get frustrating so in the last year, I've been doing more "stop and wait." This keeps my number of follows much lower than it used to be.

I choose the first option because that one fits the best I read a lot of ongoing manga but to keep reading those can be hard if the translation group drops it. So it really depends on the availability of the manga and sometimes I'll just wait a bit with a series and read a few chapters in one go instead of reading them directly when they come out.

To begin with, sorry for this late reply...life is getting quite busier day by day...!

WoW bro that's quite some explanation...though, I can understand...I'm also having hard time dealing with some series too and Bleach tops that list...unfortunately One Piece is a little bit letdown for me too lately...though, not to that extreme as you and I still love it very much...!!

ya...I saw the poll...OP topped it...Portgas D. Ace was certainly a character everybody loved...and White Beard's death was a plus too...as you may know OP being a low to none death rate manga/anime, It was given ~
Well, Naruto had some sad deaths too like with Itachi's or Jiraiya's...Neji's came later on, though, not that sad for me !! There are many other sad death from other mangas/animes, I can talk about as my Reading and Read(complete) list(s) are quite long, but, this isn't the right Thread/Topic for it...and not a single Bleach death makes me sad...not, even a bit..." K (project) " is one of the currently running manga/anime/novel where none if the character is safe, even the MC...opps! I said too much! Pardon!!

A Question !! Who did you meant by " X " ? Ace or Sabo ?
though, I believe it's Ace as you can sync the way they're said/spelled and related to War + Death tag !!

Nice Fun Facts by the way !! Kudos ~

Sorry for hijacking some innocent thread again. I meant
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Ace
They may have build him a real grave at the Toei studios tour but he is comming back.
I also did not care because he had almost no character besides being too cool for shool and only gaiden a bit in the flachback(of course) after the fact. He was just the older/stylish version of Luffy and when i saw that Ann chart: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2014-12-11/10000-an ime-fans-pick-which-character-death-left-the-biggest-impact/.82056 i was just no .
There are at least 5 characters on it that didn´t even die and some other we don´t know of.
Hello Geass. That is as cheap as the much dreaded comicbook-death.
My oppinion on K-Project. I lasted on episode because it looked like a big budget ova but it was just Bleach with good animation. No thank you and how many cool sounding letters for animes are left with C and X already beeing used ?
Can someone please teach(PM) me how the spoilers code works for real ?
Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas ti you too ~

but, lol...how are you guessing that Ace is coming back ?
it's a perfect death...his Soul and Fruit already left his body...
did you meant His Will ? Then it might be true, as him being one of the people bearing "Will Of D"...!
[didn't used past tense intentionally]

yeah...I saw that Chart on ANN too...
I know some deceased ones there...some I don't...Some are/were Half/Uncertain Dead(Lelouch : His death has been confirmed multiple times by the series writer, magazine articles, and the official R2 guidebook)...Some are stuck in between(Goku & Vegita)...And Some Of Them Are Too Healthy To Kick The Bucket Yet...lol

hmm...how many remaining ? That certainly is a tough question to answer, but, certainly not so much or so little...

about the Spoiler thing, it certainly is odd...even spoiling a word like " Ace " takes the space of two lines...and that's one of the reasons I didn't used it on mine...and the 2nd reason is, the matter(OP and Death) we are/were talking 'bout is already aged by couple of years ~!

Lulu will come back if sunrise needs money(so soon-ish) and the creators never agreed if he bit the bullet or not. Remember the original ending ? He so clearly drove the cart roll . They were clever to make his death more ambiguous on the dvds to keep the conversation going. So remember kids if you kill someone make make sure to question this death multiple times in interviews (like with Lulu or Spike) and never conform zip till the money runs out. Heroes never die(especially if you put them in every game ever) and remember how Naruro dragged out all the corpses but one in act 3. Lets hope that this will not happen to your messiah and that i will last. About Bleach. How is it even possible to care if dead people die ? Where do they go ? Ultra heaven or do they get reborn to die again ? Lol.
How and why did i last 50 Volumes. Just remember the song and let it go.

No...that's not possible...

Get The Point ~

• his fruit is already outta his body and Sabo have eaten it...a devil fruit only borns anew somewhere in see...only if it's past owner's soul have departed from OP World...
• Sabo have eaten it.. So, it's fire fist Sabo now...
• His fruit, unfortunately was the Mera Mera Fruit(fire fire fruit), not Brook's one...so, no...

so, there is no chance man...but, if they still do manga to bring him back like you see in DBZ or Naruto...it would be lame...at least for Now ~

SJ is run by money. The driving force how to get that is popularity polls. Who is in every top 10 ? I now plant my flag in the ground with this post i will never edit to see who will be right. I am also pretty sure that even the mighty One Piece wikia has no idea how the fruits work biggrin . Well another D is now joining the group or something because he is top 10 material too and he is basically another version of Ace. Let´s see how long he will fill the gap.
Sorry for the cynicism but i have been reading since 2001 and am at an end it seems.

By another D. you probably meant Walter...!!
Hmm...he is an irregular case...he does not share the same characteristic like other D.s...but, a little ike Dragon probably...not, counting Rouge, as we're only specifying Males here...!!

And Nowadays pretty much everything runs by money for example Study, Law, Life(hospital/medicine blah blah blah) and so on...
