Okinawa .lol well wither kenichi likes it or not his friends naturally like hanging out at the shinpaku alliance. nijima is a true evil mastermind
-
That last page? Best face to make when going on vacation ever (Mainly The Elder, Apachai, and Sakaki)
-
Why do I have a feeling this new arc is going to be as good as D of D? It may be silly optimism but with the momentum that has been picking up not to mention quite a brilliant set-up chapter…
Speaking of, this chapter was all Nijima. NIJIMA!!!
Oh and final spread was hilariously epic.
Edit: Oh and if Shinpaku Alliance go to, it would more than make up for their lackluster performance in the last arc if it was just a chance to show their stuff for this arc. Ah so much potential for this new arc.

@Thousand:

It's not just you. I have a feeling of epic around the corner.
Mainly because this "Eternal Setting Sun" stuff has been hyped for many chapters now. Tbh, it sounds like it could be a step towards the conclusion of the battle against Yami.
-
so a new arc starts now..
last one was a bit lame..
but going now against that muai thai yami …finally -
Good news guys. Mangastream might have picked this series up again:D
http://mangastream.com/read/hsdk/69734711/1
! A very good setup chapter in my opinion. AWESOME cover spread. A shame Shinpaku Alliance didn't go:(Ah well, I suppose seeing ALL of Ryuzanpaku in serious fights in the same arc should make up for that:) I can't wait for Appachai vs Aagard. It's been hyped up for quite a while and you know it's gonna be beastly><
On another note, if Mangastream had some free slots they really should have picked up Beelzebub rather than Kekkaishi>.>
-
I hardly post here but I'm quite excited for the upcoming events and yeah I was wondering the same thing why kekkaishi instead of beelzebub?
-
I like Kekkaishi, so I'm happy with it. I'd like Beezlebub as well, though.
has cake and wants to eat it, too
-
Kekkaishi isn't as mainstream as Beelzebub, not to mention they skipped a chapter:/ Really weird choice.
In other news, I just love how Matsuena can pull off cliches and make them hilariously funny and awesome through pure execution alone. -
Apachai was the real star in the latest chapter.
-
I love where this is going. an international incident. maybe Sakaki will meet up with that gunman's daughter again maybe
-

MAYBE? what maybe, if there is a chance for this manga to have a girl show up and hae fan service, it will do it 100% of time. not only will she show up, but some other girl probably will too or we get introduced to a new one.
-
The only relatively good about this manga so far is Apachai.
Still, he alone isn't a reason to read this.

Then you must have been reading this with one eye closed. You obviously missed out on a ton of other great people.
-
Well, I read this for some ~5 last chapters, so I could have missed some minor details, I concur.
-
New chapter is out on mangastream. Fanservice amount is getting a bit ridiculous I think, but
! a lot of awesome characters are present now! Nijima on the front lines, fuck yeah! And the return of Garyuu X is naturally guaranteed to be hilarious. I'm expecting a lot from this.
-
Fan-service has always been part and parcel of the series since chapter one. The moment I heard they were going to Okinawa, I expected as much (though admittedly I expected it to be beach-related only).
With that said
! Shinpaku Alliance is there too? This arc has been confirmed to be at least as good as D of D. We know it's going to be long because
http://mangastream.com/read/hsdk/23544762/8
Siegfried said so:D That was clearly Matsuena telling us sorry for all the short arcs so here's a motherfudging beast after all that time.
! Anyway, fantastic chapter. A part of me is slightly anxious that Shinpaku alliance is gonna be left out but that would make bringing them back at all in the first place pointless. The last arc was just an intro to show them they still have their stuff. This is the arc where they can let it all out. Nijima, the best demon general, is already at the front lines too>
Other awesome stuff, Miu's love triangle hands, Siegfried's speedo and pretty much everything Siegfried, Kisara and Freya "facing off" as well as covering Ukita's self-doubt (I was worried Matsuena was gonna gloss over this but then again, he's an awesome story-teller), oh and Garyu-motherfucking-X!!! -
In the beginning fanservice was mostly limited to a few onsen scens and Miu in her gymnast outfit. Its been blown up considerably since then.
Lately it has been crotch shots galore, everyone sans Kisara keeps getting larger busts, Nipple Shots have appeared, and if a girl is involved in a fight, you can be damned sure her outfit will be torn to shreds.
Really, just compare Renka ma vs Rachel to the fights against ragnaroks female members in the beginning of the series.
-
Hmm checks
Sees Valkyries getting clothes torn to shreds by Shigure with a wooden spoon
Nope, nothing different there.

Yeah, it's totally similar. I mean, just look at the black girl and the long haired blonde one. /sarcasm
Theres also the fact that it was just a one time occurence before, but now its all the friggin time. And if no girls are featured in the chapter, they'll still get a pin up pose on the fron page, like this week.And I sure as hell don't remember the first half of the series having two page spreads of naked shigure.
-
Heh, the art really has gotten a lot better since two hundred chapters ago.
Anyway, you've proven my point. Fanservice has always been part of this series. While it's true it has increased, that's just part of natural progression of the style along with everything else. If you've read from chapter one to now rather than start from say chapter 250, you should have grown accustomed to it. Quit taking it so personally.
And like I said, the moment I heard they were going to tropical paradise Okinawa, I expected this much.
-
well its not like we are complaining because fanservice has been there since beginning and been plenty of it.
its just that lets take one piece for example. we have had tons of riskay shots of girls in the show, but it never shows anything. What this show did was just something small like all of a sudden we now see small glimpses of panties in one piece or something. I mean its nothing to call the FCC over, but just enough to notice a "hey, since when did that become norm" or "what made her decide to now draw nipples instead of the magical nipple hiding trick when there is rippage"
-
The chapter ending had me in stitches! Best infiltration plan ever?
-
That was literally the absolute best way they could have kicked things off. The American gates were smashed open by a Power Ranger XD
-
Every moment in this chapter from Nijima talking about the Fanta brew to the end was gold. Garyu had me laughing a lot.
-
I hope the Alliance gets some battle time and that someone other than Keinchi gets to take out a Yomi member. I also hope that the fight between Apachi and his counter in Yami is good and that Apachi isn't so superior that the fight lacks tension (as in all of the other master fights).
-
i love the end so awesome!!!!!!
-
http://mangastream.com/read/hsdk/23544762/2
new chap is up..
a lot of fanservice and finally the attack on the yami base begins -
this was too much . garyu X is back and the shipaku alliance is there to give a hand if they even noticed they left
-
Garyu X is an inspiration to all teenagers in the springs of their youth!

Fanservice only bothers you if you let it. Let those who enjoy it enjoy it, and just focus on the story. No need to comment on it.
I liked the chapter overall a whole lot. This is shaping up to be one hell of an arc. I do hope that SA sneaks after them like in the D of D.
-
I just read the short honoka kid nap arc which was pretty decent. I'm at chapter 89.

Ah, you're getting to the first arc that really set the series in the awesome direction, the fianle of the Ragnarok arc. It only gets better from there.
-
KAMEHAMEHA!!!! go read the new chapter.
-
This chapter demonstrated to me how much I love this series. I took it slowly and, about halfway through the chapter, I thought it had already ended. I was completely satisfied with it. But then, I checked the page count and realized that there were more pages and it felt like I got a double chapter.
-
!
Most epic thing ever -

that's what my friend keeps telling me.
-
This chapter was great. The Elder never seizes to amaze me.
-
I must repeat myself. 384 chapters later and Kenichi still outdoes itself in awesomeness.
Awesome.
-
mysterious teenager garyuu X witha kamehameha wtf
-
Yeah, this chapter was awesome overall. Although it felt a little too short. Oh well.
-

Don't compare Ryo Zan Blast with some cheap DBZ attack. The non killing special attack made me lol x3
-
I dont know why, the story itself sounds lame and the characters seem to be horribly cliché, but I absolutely love this series.
The character evolution is well paced and with a concept that doesn't rely on some 'internal energy' like Chakra or Reiatsu, the fighting is more realisticly played out.
Of course, some things are just there for pure hilarity.
'Mysterious Teenager Garyuu X' in the D of D had me in stitches in his first appearance, yet it seemed so in-character, I couldn't help but take it seriously.
Kenichi's sister too, attaching herself to hermit like an infection, it's adorably funny.
Great anime, better manga.

Sometimes it's impossible to avoid cliche's in certain genres, but it's all about how the author handles it. In this case, I think it's done very well.

Sorry, I meant that even though the idea of the character is clichéd, it's STILL a great series :D

New chapter. Basic setup chapter with fights simply being paired off. Not liking how quick things are going. Matsuena just can't do long arcs any more. Disconcerted that there's no Shinpaku alliance either. What was the point of bringing them back then?:/
-
he'll find a way to bring them back into this arc I'm sure
