Contrast his prior version where he would slit your throat to the one now where he would cry before lifting a finger.

Moping around is not the type of state where you would slit someones throat.

I think you meant "emo firecracker".

When has Thorfinn cried in the Farmland? Maybe in some dream I guess.

He's largely apathetic to the world around him.

He didn't cry when getting cut up by that dude who works under Snake, he was entirely apathetic to it.

He was a one-dimensional, emotionally dead character, which was largely the point. He spent years living solely for avenging his father, only to have his revenge taken away from him. Beyond that, he realised that he didn't truly hate Askellad anymore for what happened, which was worst of all for Thorfinn.

This....though I don't see the new Fairy Tail on either mangareader or mangastream

Fairy Tail is half a week off from the others since it's in a different magazine, so I include the previous one in my listings.

I agree. Cept for FT, which I haven't caught up on.

[list=1][*]Naruto
[*]Bleach[/list=1]
Both were practically set-up chapters and shows great promise. The only reason I put Naruto above Bleach this week is because I expected Madara to be gone, and I really want the Kage to regain their dignity. Though overall I suppose Bleach was better written.

Nice to see Negima in the top 5 though I'll admit it's suprising to say the least.

I can't find Bleach in the top 50...it's lulz worthy

Sailor Moon is still going? Geez.

I'm not sure if Bleach had a volume come out that month or the month before. I know Fairy Tail didn't.

It's not still going- it hasn't been in print for about a decade and these are re-releases (and the original US releases were fairly low-quality to begin with, plus the later volumes were hard as heck to find).

No it didn't. #39 was released the 3rd of April and #40 the 5th of June.

Toriko shit on bleach naruto and one piece again this week

Im sensing a pattern.

Decent chapters all around, but the ghost ability was random for me.

It wasn't really random considering Ino and her pops can kind of do the same thing only a tad less lethal.

Started reading Deadman Wonderland for the hell of it...Hummingbird is a riot ๐Ÿ˜„

[list=1][*]Bleach
[*]Naruto[/list=1]
The only thing that was good in the Naruto chapter was the elevation of Orochimaru's status to a disembodied entity that partially resided inside the bearers of the cursed seal even after his bodily death. The twist with Madara was horrible, because the credit of his defeat should eventually be given to the Kage and verify their competence. Not much happened in the fight with the masked man, the battle was set up but then we jumped right out of it.

In Bleach we got an update on how the situation in the Seireitei, as well as an explanation of Kirge's abilities so far. But what really makes this chapter great is that fact that Kirge is still able to fight, and that he managed to seal away Ichigo, keeping him away from the captains's battles.

These two chapters really illustrates the contrast between the two manga, and shows how much more Bleach centers around a cast of characters than Naruto does.

1. Naruto
2. Bleach
3. One Piece

Going purely based off of which chapter has me the most excited for next week. One Piece has me excited for the next arc rather than chapter, Bleach through in a nice little twist there at the end, and Naruto just has me wondering what is going to happen with the 3 Bad Guys, plus hopefully a surprise appearance of an old friend...

Granted you can have your opinion on which gives cast attention the most but I'm genuinely curious how these two chapters set up that contrast. We got a better look at the Naruto cast. mmm

The difference is that this chapter of Bleach set it up so that the captains have to fight their own battles. Ichigo is sealed away in-between Hueco Mundo and Soul Society, and hopefully he won't be freed anytime soon.

In Naruto we see Madara leaving the Kage in pity heading for Naruto. The Kage are done, they've lost, and so all the attention is centered around Naruto.

But in Naruto, Naruto is being preoccupied. So it's hardly like Naruto will swoop in to save the day. The Kage aren't saying things like "Naruto is our only hope" like they're doing with Ichigo at the moment. ๐Ÿ˜›
