Man, if only the translation weren't so awkward
But I'm glad everybody finally gets to enjoy the boss that is Michinoke

I fucking LOVE Michinoke's character design,
just the fact that he has a second face on the left side of his face is awesome =D
Beh. I wish the scans were coming out faster. This arc is really fun. :[
Michinoke is such a great character
Every time i see this guy's art, it gets me damn depressed…really damn depressed.
It appears that Horikoshi has a Pixiv account. It's great to see that he still draws the characters from time to time. I don't know if this means he's still coming up with a new series for Jump, or has stopped working for them.

Nah this guy isn't working for jump. After having two series cancelled this quickly, it would be a miracle if he ever got a third chance at all (at least that is what I suspect).
That art is gorgeous~~
for a little while longer I'm going to pretend the series is still ongoing. orz.
Well, he used to draw fanarts of JUMP heroes before so I'll assume he's really a fan of the magazine and really wanted to have a hit series from there. Not like I'd want to see him from other magazine or publication, as long as he's given the chance. Maybe he could find a writer to collaborate with, sometimes mangaka with great art style like his shine the most when they leave the writing to someone else. Just look at Murata and Ohbata.
ah, this series's art is so interesting~~ but it stopped, and that makes me sad.
While trying (in vain) to find a place that sells the Tankobon for Oumagadoki Doubutsuen, I discovered Delcourt BD has picked it up and is releasing it in French under the name Crazy Zoo.
The release has started in May and looks like a new volume will be released every two months.

By January I will finally have a chance to see how the Yatsudoki Circus Arc ends!
Hey sweet, I can sorta read French (thank you High School), but either way it'd be nice to get my hands on that last Arc as well. This series is one I wish had continued more than any other I've read.

Yeah - it had so much potential with Horikoshi's animal designs. I wish he could've carried it on independently of JUMP, or in another publication.
This is pie in the sky thinking, does anyone know if a mangaka has ever been commisioned to revive a series as a result of strong international sales/interest? I know it happened with the Kinnikuman anime in the US.
It is announced that Horikoshi Kouhei (author of this series and Sensei no Bulge) going to start new series, called Boku no Hero Academia, on Issue 32 of Shounen Jump.
Boku no Hero Academia, huh. I wonder if it's a spinoff from his one-shot My Hero (Boku no Hero) that was released in Akamaru Jump's 2008 winter issue and the last volume of Oumagadoki.
On another note, congrats for the french translation. ALSO, this is something that most people who don't have the last volume, but there's an extra epilogue chapter titled "Chapter 5102 (gojitsu) Shiina" which takes place halfway through September where both Hana and Kikuchi visit the zoo again after school. You get to see how everyone is doing, including EVERYONE from the Ushimitsudoki Aquarium (Isana and co.). Plus Shikuma's original human face. I feel like it was a nice gift from Horikoshi to the readers after the cancellation of the series.

And watch that tank too. And…Shounen Jump again? Jesus Christ doesn't the guy have a clue that he has the WORST luck when it comes to that magazine? His works have a much higher chance surviving in a magazine that nearly isn't AS cutthroat. But at least we can admire his determination and incredible art work.
I wish this series was completely available in English…oh well, i will check out the new series from the author.
Vol. 5 raws have come. Scanlation imminent.

Thankyou so much for picking this up!! Sweet, sweet closure!!
Are you trying to make me believe in miracles gliblord? Cuz it's working, finally I can continue this lovely manga.
Its been such a long time that I thought Biakov was a Siberian Leopard for some reason.

Thank you Gliblord! All the author extras are great too!
I just finished reading all the volumes in French, so the Fallen Angels translations are great for checking whether I've read things correctly!

Worst luck huh? Lol
Michinoke Hierou. ひえろう–->ぴえろう----->ピエロ---->pierrot/clown. Punny names will always be a thing with Horikoshi.
Finished translating up to the final chapter, tackling the epilogue. Anyone have any idea why it's called 第5102話(だいごじつわ)?

Another wordplay with 5102? Just by the chapter number alone, you get ごじつ、which is then 後日 = in the future, another day, later. Go = 5, Ji = 10, Tsu (sounds like 'two') = 2.
Suzuki! Suzuki! Look at the new chapter! Are you looking, Suzuki!? Suzuki!!
I have a message.
! Poodle Toy on motorcycle.
Toytoy is really cute. Funny how she thought Uwabami was going to steal Suzuki away. XP
Hey there,
after the fact that i like Boku no Hero so much i wanted to try this earlier series of the artist, and I must say, I do really enjoy it.
Not he question: I know it got canceled, but i wanted to know how many chapters the manga has (incl. the epilogue)?
Thanx for the replys…
@Freddy´s:

And near the end, we reach the Power of Friendship level.
The ending is truly emotional! Hold on to your hats, folks!

Ch. 37: Oumagadoki Zoo
(END)
Horikoshi Kohei series: My Hero Academia > Oumagadoki Zoo > Barrage
I liked it. Is it definitely over with 37? From what I checked apparently there is a whole 40 chapters, though, or is that with extra stuff? I think Hana stood out to me the most. Her character has a clear arc, defined interests and flaws. I liked Ibawami, Gorilla and Seal gentleman, too. I didn't like any of Ibawami's battles, though. Of course the octupus fight was going to end up that way and of course there was going to be a designated girl fight. The themes about wishing to change and humanity and such were good. I get why it got cancelled - it's good, but the emotional hook isn't very strong. I also feel like that the director being such a jerk at first might have put the readers off.
I wouldn't call it "over" just yet, there's still one more extra chapter and final message to go! I would've like to see what the heck was up with the lord of curses though.
Ending's out: http://bato.to/read/_/330702/oumagadoki-zoo_v5_ch38_by_fallen-angels/3
It's an alright ending with the amount of room Horikoshi got.
Did we ever get anything about Aoi's magic beyond her just having a lot of it? I forget.
