RE: What manga are you reading and how do you like it? What do you plan to read?
Recently finished Oyasumi Punpun. Cried so much at the end, thought it was amazing, Aiko is one of my favourite characters in anything ever. So many powerful scenes
Am reading Lone Wolf and Cub having bought ALL the Dark Horse omnibuses. Super informative, interesting and great, with Retsudo being such an intense villain. Series is building to what looks like a terrific climax. How stupidly strong Itto kind of takes away from the realism however.
Plan to read Golden Kamui, Real, Nana, Dorohedoro and Eden: Its an Endless World next. -
RE: Vinland Saga
Man, this arc is so so good. And there's so much potential for the future. This series looks like it has very promising years ahead of it

The attackers playing in this euro need to get a grip. Shocking offensive displays from almost every team, though at least the goals that have been scored have been terrific

@xan:
Just curious but why are the English fans constantly targeted? I remember there was news that during CL clashes with EPL teams many of the club ultras from Italy and Spain had planned to thrash them just because they are English supporters. Is this some one of thing that I referred to or these things happen quite consistently?!
English fans have a big history of hooliganism, maybe more than any other country. It's no way nearly as bad nowadays, but maybe a lot of foreign fans remember how the likes of Milwall supporters who trash towns, and even just national team supporters. Hence why when some English fans cause a small ruckus the French police go "oh shit they're about to trash everything lets stop them"

RE: Kingdom
Completely forgot about this series, and caught up to the last 60 odd chapters. Had lost interest after the Fire Dragons of Wei arc because it looked like the series had lost ideas and was just recycling the same format for every arc, and though this one kind of does exactly the same it still manages to be really enjoyable. Kanki is (comfortably) the most villainous villain in the series.
Trying not to spoil, but looking at how many wars there are between now and the unification of China, and with every war arc just being the same thing, I can see this series getting REALLY boring eventually. Politics moments are cool, but he still has to mix something up with coming wars
