Wait a second... At 800+ chapters, Ran still doesn't know who Conan is? I don't know if I should call Conan sneaky or Ran plain stupid. >_>

Reading one arc of DC after about 10 chapters of another manga is uber fun though. I am currently at chapter 220 or so.

Also, new series (I think it might have had an old show or manga so maybe it's not a completely new concept though) Zetman on VizAnime... hmm... probably about the 2nd most important thing I am watching besides new game releases right now.

Having read the awesome manga, ZET's first two episode have been a disappointment to me so far. However, the most interesting arc revolving around Kouga is coming soon, so I am holding off final judgment till then. I wonder how the studio will handle all the rape scenes though.

..........guess I'll have to watch it more and find out

No spoiler but I'm going to just imagine its poor auntie as it doesn't seem she's had... any luck so far.

I've only read mangas online — Never read one in a book form.

I've always been reading manga in book form. I've only ever read 2 or 3 manga online. I have an app for my iPhone that lets you download manga chapters for free, but I can't read on that small screen, it just hurts my eyes. I also read manga on the long bus rides to school, so I can't really read manga online in that situation.

i used to be like that, i didnt like reading manga online, so i bought the manga volumes instead, after having bought 30 manga volumes( only reading 2 mangas at a time) i wanted to read manga like One Piece, Reborn or other small manga.
it took sometime before i managed to get used to reading manga online, but once you start reading manga online for a while you get used to it, and it will feel normal. i still read manga in books though( im reading Tsubasa and Genshiken in books)
the same goes for reading manga on iphone, i dont like it so much, but i still read them on my iphone at times, i dont use a app for it though.

but i do agree that the "feeling" you get from reading it in books is better than reading online, but it isnt always worth ALL the money you will end up spending

It's necessary for the story that she doesn't know, but yea, she is dumb. The latest file just got released in english(2 days before even releasing in Japan, the scanlator is also super hyped) and it will lead to the start of the Bourbon arc, that has been going for MANY years already. I have been following this arc for 3 years, and it's finally going to happen. Imagine the excitement

Chapter 220? Cool. Just wait until Vermouth's arc wraps up, it's awesome.

just finished reading Akumetsu, great manga with 162 chapters.
how the story get told is great:

Story: The details keeps you intrigued. They can be essentially divided into three parts that are all developed as the story progresses.
1. Akumetsu actions and political background of Japan
2. The people trying to understand Akumetsu and/or stop him
3. The revelation of who/what is Akumetsu and how he came to exist.

The first part makes up the most of the story. The 2nd part humanizes the story, and the third part keeps you interested.

qoute from a review.

definitely a manga everybody should read sometime

Aquarion: The more ridiculous it is, the better the episode will turn out to be. Only Aquarion has been able to do that.

This isn't much a prediction. It's pretty much obvious if you have watched the first season:

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

I've always had it in my mind that Kagura is Apollo's reincarnation, and that Amata is Apollon's reincarnation. The recent episode makes Amata believes that there was no Apollon...just Apollo. He'll be in emo mode in the next few episodes, then bam! turns out he's Apollon's reincarnation, and they all live happily ever after, including the guys in planet Altair who yearns to impregnate any woman they see.

I'm currently finishing up the Rurouni Kenshin series. I'm reading volume 8 right now. I've been putting it off for about 3 years now, and I've decided to finish it now.

[wiiboy123457]

so i started reading Zetman, and judging by the first 2 volumes/ 26 chapters, it is pretty good

damn:

] makes me sad that Akemi died, out of the 30 chapters i have read, she was my favorite
