I read a really good oneshot the other day called Loop. It's about this millionaire who was brutally murdered and has to come back from the dead just to repeat the murder all over again once every year, because he left the world with great regret and so his soul is not able to pass into the other realm. On the 100th repeat he brings forth incredible determination to fight back and get revenge on his murderers. It is intense, brutal and hugely satisfying even though one part is a little cliche. I really recommend it. It's only 56 pages long.

Just read it, it was pretty good. The art style is awesome.

Yeah, its from the same author that did Pretty Face and Mx0 - two popular shounens that were unfortunately cancelled. I was surprised by Loop as both Pretty Face and Mx0 were no where near as gory or brutal. I loved the attitude of the main character in Loop. "I may not have been able to do this before, but things have changed." he says after slamming a cleaver right into a persons head just before decapitating the other, haha.

Also, stop lying to yourself! You haven't read 407 chapters of Hajime no Ippo.

I'm starting to enjoy reading manga, especially the Ippo manga.

[Southe,]

on a forum i stumbled on peopel where saying ippo was becoming bit dull? and its just dragging on now. wouldnt know since i havent read it but hopefuly it dosen't

Yeah, one review on MyAnimeList says;

"Since the author realized that he's going to make this run as long as he lives (or as long as there's interest) it has become a formulaic, and repetitive story. It basically runs like this:

-Training
-Fights
-End fight filler
-Rinse and repeat... FOREVER!"

It is about one million chapters long after all. I don't think the author could bring anything new to the series at this point.

[Southe,]

thats the word i meant to say repetitive. yea but he should end it then. >_< rather have a series end on a high than be dug to the ground.

If you say so Paul.

Read volume 3 of Eden: It's an Endless World today and oh my gah! Violence!

Show Hide

The girl was on a land mine, so the sniper shot her foot off so it would explode.

Also caught up with Bakuman and Claymore. I haven't actually watched any anime in a while.

Ohh daaaaamn! I forgot how brutally violent Eden was. I really need to finish it now the rest has been scanlated.

The manga probably will become a bit repetitive soon but Ippo has still to move on to the World Championship stage. I'd like to see that and then what happens after boxing for him. Opening his own gym perhaps and training people like the coach.

[Southe,]

no idea what happens. but iw ould have liked it if he had won lots of titles and then started the top championship. or something and it ends him training like new challenger. and then make big ass movie for him winning the top belt.

Read all the latest FMA and its soo good.

Read OP some of my OP manga. its nice to read it in english but some of the terms and names are bad

Wish there where manga librarys you could go to much better reading a book than online i get bored easily when i have internet.
