Manga Discussion Thread (Spoilers Abound)

Was there ever a part 2 announced for Veritas yet?

[Xno Kappa]

Veritas reminds me a lot of Tenjou Tenge, both have beautiful art but as far as story goes it's always Fight, Fight, Boobs, Fight, Boobs, near incoherent story elements, Fight, Huge Boobs. I still love it though lol.

[Hyan]

onemanage has all the chapters besides 75 which just came out. The release team asks all sites to wait 24 to 48 hours before posting it.

Thanks, I just love reading 'em on my PSP rather than the PC :D.

[blindSharingan]

BTW the main reason i posted about it is i just read 75... and they dropped a bomb. Now I'm pissed i have to wait to find out how this turns out lol.

I just read ch 75 and....

Spoiler: show

I wouldn't really call it a "bomb". The whole series they have been hinting to Honse being an absolute beast. I always had a feeling he'd be fighting later in the series despite what supposedly happened to his ki channels. That being said I'm really look forward to seeing what exactly he can do. Also I'm not super thrilled about some of those match ups tbh. Gangryong vs Yuhwa? No thanks.

P.S. Yuri has gigantic cans.

Anyone else feel Tenjou Tenge could have (should have) ended at like three different points. Been reading it for a while.. but I honestly just want it to be over already >.> <.<

Making progress, finally!

I'm liking the whole "rivalry" between Haruto and Kazama, but I hope something changes soon, 'cause I can see myself getting bored of it pretty quick.

That one girl that thinks Haruto is depressed because of her should step up and do something to make things interesting lol.

Haruto and Kazama were pretty win, yeah. Loved the yelling bit they had that Eba just didn't understand. I understood it, heh.

But yeah this will get boring if it lasts too long.

Well, I didn't get the hint. I suppose it was possible, but I didn't really get the hint that it was going to happen, it sure seemed like it was true and Honse was just going to play the guru-ish leader who is the only one able to get the main characters respect.

That said, fucking awesome. Honse is a beast, before he even fights I know that, I can't wait. Too bad it'll be a long ass time before we see that fight I bet.

Finally got to reading this series and I can't wait for the next chapter!

And then there's Asuka that has the Tsundere bit going for Haruto also... dun dun duuuun

New Ippo chapter

Spoiler: show

Looks like the Class A tournament is coming soon. Itagaki looks like he's apparently gonna beat his next opponent faster than Ippo. I liked how they also slipped in the similarities between Itagaki and Miyata, at the pace he's going it won't be long before he gets to a world ranking of his own, with Ippo in his way.

Spoiler: show

Yeah, it was hinted quite frequently. One part that sticks to mind is him not giving Rud the 100 year old ginseng and just a plain old raddish while he kept the rest. He then says he sold one to pimp Gang's room and then it's never stated what happened to the other two.

Yeah, I suppose I did get the hint. But I had always figured Honse would've been healed, not that he's been on a 4-year training journey to beat Vera the whole time, lol.

Spoiler: show

I like Itagaki, but I'm not sure I like the direction that he's going in. If this ends up being a sort of replacement Miyata then I'll be a bit disappointed. That being said at least his fights have been entertaining unlike Ippo's fights lately. I really just want Ippo to get a fight where he just wrecks the other boxer. It's felt like Ippo really hasn't improved lately, and I'd like for him to get a fight that shows that he actually has. Also needz moar Takamura (yes I'm going to keep saying this until he get another fight).

Didn't think they would get Number 1, very touching in grave scene.

[Elcura]

Agreed, unexpected, but a really good scene.

Spoiler: show

Itagaki would so destroy Ippo imo, his match with his rival pretty much pushed him over the edge and he became so much better after that. Despite Ippo fighting tough opponents he doesn't win fights like he used to, and his fights used to be my favorite to read. I mean hell Aoki's title attempt was probably smarter than anything that Ippo's done since he used the inverted Dempsey Roll on Jimmy Sisfa.

And yea Takamura needs another fight already, or he needs to wrestle a Rhino or something. Fucker knocked out a bear.

[promethius]

new berserk out not bad, but not much action next one will porbably be action packed though.

Spoiler: show

I agree with you that Itagaki would destroy Ippo, which is a damn shame since I'm reading Hajime no Ippo, not Hajime no Itagaki. It seems like the last several fights for both Ippo and Miyata have just been there to kick the shit out of them and see how much punishment they can withstand. It seems like they've regressed from where they used to be, and neither really knows how to fight with their head anymore. I used to love reading Ippo's fights so much, but now I just want them to end about 2 chapters after they start because they suck so bad.

Also just the image of Takamura wrestling a rhino in my mind is made of win and awesome, and I am disappoint because it will probably never happen.

[Akiyama]

Spoiler: show

Yeah, I admit I figured they wouldn't get first place either, and man.. that graveyard scene was touching. I loved the bit though where they said 'they'll return to this place for sure!' Uh.. yeah. They sure will, rofl.
