Where did this series go wrong?

I agree that pacing was slow after the annie arc. Didn't care for the rich folk/government/church conspiracy story. That's where I dropped it a year ago.

Yamada and Shiraishi's relationship
(8 posts, 6733 views) Posted: over 10 years ago by chaumein in Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo
Y'know OP, this is exactly what I thought, and then here we are 63 chapters later and I'm still reading.
But I do agree it's a shame that the Yamada/Shiraishi relationship kind of halted after the buildup. Normally, I HATE harems. In this one though, isn't it clear Yamada...

Best samurai manga
(83 posts, 39337 views) Posted: over 12 years ago by chaumein in Manga General
Definitely gonna read Rurouni Kenshin after going through this thread!
As for me, "best" means gore, depravity, a great storyline, and based on some historical fact:
1) Blade of Immortal
2) Shigurui
3) Don't have a third yet! Reading Sidooh now, so we'll see.

Quote from loosecannon504
Go to college.
Believe me, you get so much work that the only time you remember to eat is when your stomach hurts and you realize it isn't indigestion or gas.
Fun Fact: I lost 23 pounds in my 1st semester as a freshman without even realizing it.

I like my shoujo and adult/hentai separately. Smut and its whited out private parts piss me off. YOSHIHARA Yuki I can forgive, because her mangas are hilarious!

I read this one, Kinpeibai Kinden Honoo no Kuchizuke, recently and liked it.
Just editing to let you know it's not hentai but there are a few graphic scenes (yaoi).

I've read that story too. The guy always cries in his sleep but he doesn't know why and the heroine has long, black hair. Unfortunately I don't remember either.

who will she end up with?

The steady pattern I've seen is that, in a shoujo if the heroine is introduced as having a crush on guy A, guy A will 75% turn out to be bad/not what heroine expects, etc. She'll get with guy B who helps her on in the process of trying to get guy A.

I like shoujo, the art is nice and comedy/romance are my favourite genres, but I HATE school life (seems you can't have comedy/romance/shoujo without the school life
). It's just at a point where I don't freakin' care about your school festivals or onsen trips anymore. ...
