Manga comparison thread

1. Ares
2. Vagabond
3. HunterxHunter

1. Naruto.
2. Mangastream's Bleach page.
3. One Piece.

I'm disappointed this week. Naruto just felt oddly slow compared to next week. I like how they wonder what caused the crack and how cool Tobi continues to be...but I don't like how they're apparently beating him.

One Piece...God. I'm just tired. Like really? The chapter's big cliff hanger?

Law:"Okay, Oda says we have to escape now."

Like, what is he planning to do and why didn't he do it before? Because Caesar was in the same room as him? Caesar is going to know if Law escapes so it's not like it matters. Seriously, the main characters are so ****ing unconcerned about what's going to happen to them that I can't even muster a damn to give.

OP was pretty much the same as the last couple of weeks, creepy poison bomb may be killing characters in the present time.

I love the fact Tobi is getting his sh_t kicked in, hope he dies.

That means Tobi is a good villain since you want him to lose.

I just don't want Caesar to be onscreen. I thought that Virgo would make up for him...but Virgo is just sorta there. Monet is cute and cool enough I guess. I think Smiley...I actually like Smiley a lot honestly. haermm

And then he became emotionless gas.

Caesar better control than gas when he fights the SHs or I'm going to be disappointed.

I've always thought Tobi is a decent villain, that's why I'd hate to have him overstay his welcome. He's done cool stuff, let him rest, now we have Madara and Oro back to antagonize the heroes.

That would...actually be pretty damn awesome. Straw Hats and Law vs Caesar controlling the huge Smiley Gas. Virgo and Monet find people to fight to(it would be cool to see Smoker fight Virgo).

I'm inclined to agree but at the same time, Tobi has been the villain for quite a while now. I don't want him dead persay but I think it would be cool if he just retreated into his pocket dimension for a bit. This war has not gone as plan and it would be nice for him to rethink his approach.

On the other hand, the fact that the Juubi is nearly revived kinda makes me question if he'll be defeated so soon or not.

That's been out.

I do wonder why Mangastream translated it so late.

It's new to me.

It's pretty funny because I recall reading an article of a guy in Sweden being prosecuted for child pornography demeanor for having nude pictures of the underaged Naruto female character Hinata, and now the author himself writes about her floating breasts.

Changing it.

1. One Piece
2. Naruto

Mangapanda left out a really ****ing important page in their first translation. The one where Chopper gets the note(during my first read, I had no idea what that was supposed to be that hit him cause the next page wasn't there). So, I was just thinking it was lazy ass writing that Law just suddenly had an escape. My guess is Law has a backup plan and Monet is his ally. Don't know, don't care. Not sure if I would have put it above Naruto based on that alone but I feel bad for being so negative about it before(though some complaints I stand by). So, I switched them.

I hadn't seen the note either, but yeah, I guess that makes more sense 😄

1. FT
2. OP
3. Naruto

Week without manga apparently. Sucks.

Any idea what to do with this thread in the meantime?

Place Fairy Tail in #1 for the week?

You place it first nearly every week. 😛

Was thinking of a comparison to do with the manga, more specifically the big three since they have the most readers.

Not that often (of the last 5, it got 2. Not counting this week), but I have noticed that quite often the Shonen Jump trio sync up their 'not much happens/take a breather' weeks and FT's out-of-sync so it can match up strong weeks to their weak. Also it tends to be better at making sure something happens every week, with quicker pacing, which helps.

When Naruto's on, it tends to dominant the rest, and OP hasn't been on for awhile. So I'd say for me, it's largely been a two horse race for the last several months.
