I've read and enjoyed manga about golf, fishing, cooking, dancing, and horseracing. I don't golf, fish, or race horses. :P I skate but I certainly don't extreme anything (I'm allergic to violent pain). But I've learned that the quality of a manga's story is based on the author, never on the subject ...

The new chapters have revealed that Nagi's family is 1 of the feathers of the Takayanagi phoenix. And that the Nagi family trains in the lowest Chakra. Each of the major families seem to excel in a Chakra. The Natsume family uses the Dragon's Eye, presumably the highest Chakra. All of them served Ta...

Bob's GF is not better than Maya. There are ppl who aren't uptight about their bodies, and then there are sluts. I always thought the past arc would explain why Maya is a bitch, explain why people follow her and make her seem likable somehow. If Great dropped a ball story-wise, was this one. Maya's ...

Blade of the Immortal is pretty special, in that the pages are cut up and rearranged on the page, to preserve Samura's artwork. Panels only get flipped when there's no way around this.

I don't think Shin is that selfish, because when mana said that maya should help mitsuomi not take the path that shin took, shin left it alone He felt some guilt.

It leads me to think that Maya just didn't want to tell the brats that her brother killed himself. Because there is no way anyone can blame any part of Shin's death on Mits.

I think what Maya cannot forgive is simply Mit...

Mitsuomi has become bewitched by "absolute power" and been corrupted. So they've taken diametrically opposite views from the same events. I see it differently.

I don't find it "creepy", even that big panel where Shin grabs Maya from his bed. I find all of it quite poignant.
