An OK ToC for me this week. Poor Bleach. Assassination Classroom's first anniversary is next week. Boy, does time fly! More details about Nisekoi's anime will be in the next issue, and I'm also hearing that Sket Dance is ending next week... We've also got some new series starting up over the next few weeks. We've got Kuro Clock (probably supernatural, never heard of the author), Hime Doll (sounds Ecchi) and Ginga Patrol Jako, which is probably something to do with space. It's also by Akira Toriyama, who I've never even heard of. I assume this is his first work. Nevertheless, I wish all of them the best of luck with their new series. And this also means some more series are getting the cut to make room. My money would be on Sket Dance, if rumours are correct, Koisuru Edison and Cross Manage.

Things are getting pretty stale around here, so I'm gonna be making a few changes. Starting from next month, I'm gonna have a Manga of the Month theme, and shall change my display picture and background to promote said manga. Next month's manga will be... *drumroll* Kuroko no Basket!

Also, I wonder if I should start showing the rankings of manga from as far as 5 issues back, so we can see trends in the rankings and therefore make easier judgements. What do you guys think? Should I start doing that, or stick to his format? Let me know in the comments. As always, thanks for reading! See you next week! ^.^

*OFF TOPIC* So, following on from Microsoft's u-turn on their DRM, always online and backwards compatibility policies, will this motivate you to get the Xbox One? Or will you not give Microsoft a second chance? If not, which consoles are you going with next-gen? For me, it's looking like Wii U and PS4 so far... Let me know your thoughts!

Ahhh, it feels so good to be back! I'm sorry I've been away for so long, there were things in my life I had to prioritise and deal with, but now I'm freeeee!!! 

Phwoar, Assassination Classroom is tearing up the ToC like a BBW's ass! One Piece is absent again, which sucks, but as long as Oda is ok then that's all that matters. Not much else I can say seeing as I've been away from manga for so long. I know that Hungry Joker and Kiruko-san have been cancelled, can anybody fill me in on what's happened while I've been away? Any shocks? Surges? Slumps? What are the new series like?

*OFF TOPIC* Any football/soccer fans on here? I sure am liking the look of Man United's first 5 fixtures. I have every faith that Moyes will do just fine and land us our 21st title! What do you think of your team's fixtures?

Back from the Dead

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Yes, I am back. I'm sorry for neglecting you guys, my little piglets. This week, everything should resume normally, so you can start suckling on my teats again. Now let the good times roll! It's not like I have THAT much catching up to do anyway...

Sorry for the lateness. Gonna make this quick so I can work on this week's. Medaka Box has ended, and we've got a new series next week called "Soul Catcher(S)", which sounds supernatural. The following week, we've got another newbie called "Mutou Black", which also sounds gothic. And the week after that, another new series called "Smoky B.B.", which sounds like some action shit. Now, onto the next one!

  • Kiruko-san: 16th > 17th

An odd ToC this week, which could largely be due to Naruto's absence. Kuroko no Basket is 1st for a 2nd ranked week in a row. One Piece falling to 3rd - haven't seen that in a while. Shokugeki no Souma's fallen out of the top 5 for the first time in God knows how long. Nisekoi's also dropped too. But what surprises me the most is that Koisuru Edison's had a pretty big jump out of the bottom 5! But Gintama's replaced it. Can't say I didn't see that coming to be honest. Guess Edison got sick of the interracial gangbang and Gintama wanted a piece. Oh well. Got some mo' oneshots next week, and it looks like Medaka Box is ending too. Which fuels the speculation that Ohba and Obata's new series is in fact coming. Either way, I can't wait for the coming weeks.

Oh, and next week's a double issue, meaning that the chapters will account for 2 issues and JUMP is on a week's break. That's pretty much it. Thanks for reading, see you next week! ^.^

Oh, and my laptop is being fixed after being stuck in that fucking Windows 8 start-up loop. Not to mention I'm being knighted by the Queen of England next week, so expect a major delay.

I'm liking the look of this week's top 4. Poor Hungry Joker's slipped to the bottom. Meh, not really much to say other than Kochikame's anniversary's approaching, so it's getting Cover and Lead CP.

*UPDATE* My laptop, which runs on Windows 8, appears to have entered some kind of "Automatic Repair" loop, where it doesn't even start repairing; it just keeps rebooting and rebooting. If anybody could shed some light on this issue, that'd be great. This could also mean posts coming out slower :(
