Manga blathering...
psst, http://www.onemanga.com/ is awesome.
Naruto:
Not a lot of interesting stuff happened... Okay, Kiba was funny, and also yay for DDD: faces from Naruto and Sakura about Sasuke. Hinata wasn't very cute with her veiny eyes ;.; and Kishi changed the way he draws Hyuuga eyes and I don't like it as much as the old one. But at least she did something! yay. I hope she gets to actually fight at some point.

Bleach:
... It's been getting so frigging BORING oh my god. The vaizard-in-the-past chapter was mildly interesting, at least. But the whole Aizen / karakura town thing is such a snoozefest. Auuugh. I swear I just keep reading because I want more Rukia and Orihime cuteness and I want to know if/when Kenpachi learns the name of his sword. By now I can't even care about Ichigo or anyone else anymore.
+
One Piece:
... bwahahaha. Okay, the enemy is lame, but the end joke cracked me up. I like that in One Piece, even when the plots get kinda repetitive, you can trust the cast to be absolutely cracktastic.
Still, the new crew members are coming in at such a rate and there's not enough character evolution from the old ones. In the end the cast is pretty static, once their character-defining/joining-the-crew arc is over with. *sigh* I should start reading it in big chunks again, chapter-by-chapter makes it more boring than it should be.
+
Katekyo Hitman Reborn:
... I like this ten years later arc. It's a lot darker than the previous ones, though the Xanxus arc had some pretty icky moments. I think that's because even though I know Tsuna will fix it eventually and the people who are currently dead won't die at all, right now they ARE dead and gone, and people mourn them.
I stopped reading this manga for so long -- I dislike tournament arcs, and I was prepared to see the fights last a bazilion years, so when lambo's fight started I just stopped reading and didn't start again. Man did I miss something. That's one thing I like in this manga, the fights never last more than three or four chapters, and everything that happened in the TYA arc... *__*
Another thing I like is the great number of hot guys in suspiciously intense friendships. *cough*
Also, I ship Mukuro/Hibari like burning. (kinda wish the only fic I found for the two of them didn't have fucking Hibari fucking crying over being fucking separated from fucking Mukuro. there are not enough WTFs in the world.) And Yamamoto/Hayato/Tsuna. ... Oh hell, the guardians should have a Tsuna-orgy. (except Lambo. Ew. >.>) (I am not trying to figure out a plot for this to happen, by the way. Nope.)
But the last chapter... oh god the fanservice. *fans self*
http://www.onemanga.com/Katekyo_Hitman_Reborn/187/05/ nnnnnnngh omgyes. My preciouss.
D.gray-man:
This is usually a manga I only follow casually -- I like some arcs, some others leave me indifferent. When they got home from the ark and the character with a Hitler mustache appeared, I was all confused about the characters and went all eww about the politics -- then there was all the fuss made over making Lenalee fight and Lenalee being all passive and emo and shit... Urgh.
And then she woke up and decided to fight for her own reasons and not because she felt obligated, and it was beautiful. And then Kanda and Rabi had this supporting-Allen moment that was also beautiful and should be iconned and written in a great many sex scenes. And then this latest chapter, Allen and Lenalee fighting in tandem, and oh. wow. Yes. T_______T
The previous couple of chapters totally made me tear up. Go Lenalee go.
... her new boots are kinda WTF though. XD
Other mangas i'm following at the moment:
http://www.onemanga.com/Alive_-_The_Final_Evolution/
"A high schooler named Taisuke Kanou is living with his older sister, Youko, after the death of his parents. He lives a relatively quiet life until a massive surge of suicides around the world known as the "Nightmare Week" begins."
There's a kind of "virus" going around which makes people want to kill themselves. A lot of them do. Those who don't call each other "comrades" and see the rest of the human race as something to be wiped out. Our hero doesn't -- or does he? -- but then, he seems to be a kind of failed comrade, himself. He's not the only one either -- the comrades may have evolved, but they can still have some human attachments and reactions that makes them more interesting than if they were just random psychopaths.
It's kinda dark, what with all the suicides, but I love the art and I really fucking LOVE the characters. Especially the hero. It's not so angsty you feel like moping and listening to Evanescence in the dark, it's the kind of angst where you cheer because the hero gets hurt and gets back up and keeps fighting, and there are cute and funny moments to lighten it up. It's incomplete right now of course, which makes me a sad asuka. ;_;

Berserk: It was taken off onemanga and I don't know where to start reading again. But it's fucking epic. Epic. I love it like burning. It's full of angst and gore and epicness. I'd say it's heroic fantasy, but it's so much more epic than that. The scope of this story, wow. *o*
Gokusen: hah, total change from Berserk. It's about the antics of a young, enthusiastic Yakuza-raised woman who becomes a school teacher in a school full of delinquents. It's hilarious and so cute. The drawings are so amateurish and yet I still love it. XD Also, I ship her with one of her students so hard. Nnnngh Shin/Yumiko ♥

The Hour of the Mice: Tense psychological/mystery thing. The hero and his friends live a comfortable, regular little life in a boarding school. They don't even remember seeing their parents, who they are told are important or busy or whatever else. The truth that slowly comes out is more sinister. Dun dun dunnnn.

I'm dropping anything Clamp from my reading list. I tried catching up for Fai and Kurogan's sake, but I just can't stomach the illogic and wangst anymore, especially when I've been told there's more coming my way. Also, I kinda hate Clamp's graphic style anyway. >_>;
