*HOSHINO Katsura resumes D.Gray-man after 2nd multi-month hiatus in Shonen Jump
This summer's issue of [sitelink=publishers.html?id=163]Shueisha[/sitelink]'s Akamaru Jump magazine has announced on Monday that HOSHINO Katsura will resume her D.Gray-man manga in the monthly Jump Square magazine on November 4. HOSHINO Katsura originally launched the manga in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 2004, but the manga has been on hiatus since this year's combined 22nd/23rd issue of Weekly Shonen Jump shipped on April 27. HOSHINO Katsura had just put the manga on another hiatus from November of 2008 to March 2009 due to her health. The current Akamaru Jump issue does include the next installment of the manga, and Jump Square will pick up the story where Akamaru Jump left off. The December issue of Jump Square with the relaunch of D.Gray-man will ship on November 4.
[sitelink=publishers.html?id=235]Viz Media[/sitelink] released the 14th of the 18 current volumes of the manga this month.

Sorry about that guys, but the site went down for about 3 hours due to a bad power cable and a dead hard drive. We're up and running now, so return to your manga goodness of the weekends~

Interpret it how you like. I guess I waver in between the last 2 options. Too many of these movies suck...but there are some hidden gems around~
This poll came from my own head (which might be why it's so bad) because I don't really like most of the current suggestions...(for one reason or another). That statement was not meant to offend anyone who suggested something recently. So what's your reaction when a live-action adaptation of a series is announced? (I can probably guess the end result of this one...)
I liked the Initial D movie though! (Although it probably puts people off that it's originally in Cantonese, but I'm ethnically Cantonese, so I was able to understand without the subtitles~)

Air beats everyone by at least 600 votes. Airbender anyone? Following up is Water beating Fire (just barely too). I guess Water is just meant to put out Fire. Then Dark creeps up... along with Void... What's with the depressing stuff? Too bad Light is so far behind. I guess the Sith have beat the Jedi, eh?
First off, I wanna wish an early happy birthday to my friend Emily (a personal friend of mine who might actually read this on her own...) whose birthday is tomorrow. I'm an admin, so who says I can't do this?
Now onto the poll! This new poll was submitted by our member kizi180. It's technically not a manga one... oh well? If the choice you want isn't listed, too bad. Suck it up.

Most people don't, but the rest of us do so at least several times...
cough
I read Naruto. I've scanlated Bleach and Fruits Basket (I'm a guy with a liking for some shoujo). I enjoyed Dramacon (an Original English Language by [sitelink=publishers.html?id=234]TokyoPop[/sitelink]). I was fine with the ending of Ichigo 100%...
And if you wanna blackmail me with what I read, go check out my lists
This new poll was submitted by our member JohnHomos. Based on the manga series that a person reads, do you judge that person? Like if I read a ton or romance, or I read Naruto... (all theoretical, of course)

(If you look at the news post for last year, then you'll see that I was 1 day late last year. Now it's 2 days late... Third time's the charm, eh?)
This poll was suggested by our member Chaoswind. Ever cry while reading manga? Maybe someone finally confessed! Or someone critical died...So tell us those tales of woe (or happiness!)
