I don’t think its that weird, Chris Bosh, Ron Artest, Shaq and a host of other NBA players have tried (and some still trying) their hands at music careers. Most are average at best, which is why the stigma of already being famous doesn’t help their music careers improve any.

So I guess the idea of a french kiss makes you cringe.

AlterGenesis · June 10, 2009, 4:10am

Would YOU taste the drool that someone has left on a desk?

Gasaraki · June 10, 2009, 4:27am

Oh yeah, from the beginning. No, I would not.

AlterGenesis · June 10, 2009, 4:33am

Then my cringe stands.

Master_Chibi · June 10, 2009, 4:43am

Yes, Medaka Box followers!

<3

Gasaraki · June 10, 2009, 5:29am

I hope you get canned

Master_Chibi · June 10, 2009, 5:51am

Oh man Natsu no Arashi 10 was fantastic.

So good. So god damn good.

Also on ep 8 of Hayate currently.

Gasaraki · June 10, 2009, 6:19am

Hajime is a ghost pimp.

I started Medaka Box cause the art was nice in the pics posted here and i gotta say. It’s pretty fun. The main character reminds me of Haruhi in that shes super self assured wins at everything and wont take no for an answer. No problem undressing in front of others either. Manga has spunk and its got nice artwork so I’ll stick with it.

Gasaraki · June 10, 2009, 6:53am

I feel it important to make the distiction that she isn’t a bitch like haruhi however =P

Radiantsilvergun3 · June 10, 2009, 6:57am

She just beat the tar out of the Kendo club! She has more of an air of cool to her that Haruhi doesn’t have though that hand held fan of hers. I mean I admit she does what she does cause she wants to help people she just seems to voer do it and force people into stuff.

I’m only on Vol. 00 though so what the hell do I know?

Kromo · June 10, 2009, 7:01am

oh, a Haruhi-shiro, my bad

spit in my mouth and tell me that you love me
-X

Master_Chibi · June 10, 2009, 7:09am

what the dick are you smoking kromo

Stabby · June 10, 2009, 7:09am

And she doesn’t know that he loves her, that was retconned from the one-shot.

Master_Chibi · June 10, 2009, 7:17am

Well that’s why you stick around for some more.

You’re stupid Stabby, change your avatar to kittens in a field of daisies.

Gasaraki · June 10, 2009, 8:17am

True, the one-shot isn’t canon, but she DOES say later on in the numbered chapters that she knows they like each other.

AlterGenesis · June 10, 2009, 8:40am

So guys, got any recommendations for good manga that have finished their run?

Gasaraki · June 10, 2009, 8:47am

Beck
20th Century Boys
Trigun, though some people get turned off by the hard to follow art
Love Roma, no idea if there are scans of this, but it’s all available in the states.
Genshiken
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou
Monster
Arcs 1-6 of JoJo

And that’s all I got off the top of my head, not much really.

AlphaDragoon · June 10, 2009, 8:55am

This. And Zenkichi is the significantly less douchey Kyon with kung-fu grip.
