Oh boy, new series by genius Tsutomu Satou. Will definitely be looking forward to it. Skeptical of Kei Sasuga's new work though. Especially after the GE: Good Ending flop.

Out of all the news here so far, I'm looking forward to Omoide no Marnie and GTO the most. Still, I have hopes for Akame ga Kill and to a lesser extent, Doll Masters. I am not expecting anything out of Kei Sasuga at all.

Also, the Doraemon PV link leads to the Momo Kyun PV.

That cover you are talking about is Mahouka vol 13's.
Only the first picture is about Doll Masters and to say it's similar to Mahouka without having any information at all except one single picture is pretty dense in my opinion.

Quoting a certain part of the post has become a real pain with the invention of these 'briefs' threads. Anyway, regarding One Week Friends: glad it's confirmed that the anime will get to the part with Kujou; meaning it will likely catch up to the currently scanlated chapters, providing me with new material in the process.

'GE (Good Ending)' Mangaka Kei Sasuga to Begin New Manga Series
It has been announced that mangaka Kei Sasuga will be starting a new series titled Domestic na Kanojo this April.


ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?

No i mean seriously. Good Ending is easily the most frustating, annoying, emotions-destroyer, and retarded shounen romance i've seen in a very long time. The kind lead character got himself beaten to pulp to gain happy ending, while other jerk gained happy ending by being a jerk over and over again. Ugh. I don't even understand why i subjected myself to such endless torture and sat around it till the very end. This announcement will give me nightmare of course.

But, i will probably give it a chance if the main character is a kungfu master. Why? Because Good Ending would be far less frustating if the main dude could defend himself physically

What does Sony intend to accomplish with this act? Is SE going to suffer any of this? Did any one particular person(s) or corporation buy said stock? This feels ominous. Perhaps this is foreshadowing SE's demise. They've sucked since the merge anyway.

I will watch all of those Anime, and I am expecting Akame ga Kill! to be awesome.
I am just waiting for Isshuukan Friends to finish airing before I start watching it :3
Doll Masters seems nice. New GTO Manga series?!?! I didn't expect that. I still haven't watched the Anime and read the Manga though.
Why Sony, why?!?!

There has to be something fundamentally wrong with your judgment sense. GE is undoubtedly a good manga. Probably you are only those who hate and judge on the ending solely, pfft.

The one VanishingKira was talking about is actually the cover for Mahouka Vol 13, not Doll Masters.

Anyway, it seems like it will be set after the events of Mahouka since there's a connection between the two based on the premise. I hope it will be fairly interesting too and this new series doesn't hinder his writing on Mahouka later.

Oh, don't presume to talk down to me. And unless you're going to elaborate how my judgement is fundamentally wrong, i'm not buying everything you said.

And yeah, i hated the series after experiencing the whole thing, but maybe you just casually missed that point from my post

Yay another person who tries to claim that someone who has a different opinion of something to their own is somehow 'wrong' as a result. Just what this site always needed.

Although Amiluhur's post was laughably over the top...

I think I didn't miss anything you posted. The most probable reason you hate GE is due to its ending, isn't it? just like other haters do.

And I'm not talking down to you. chill!, I just guessed your mere judgment based on how pissed you are towards GE.

There exists stupid humans, you are human therefore you are stupid. Doesn't it sound like a fine argument?

You were looking down on him, sugarcoating it doesn't change the fact that you did it. Seeing someone's opinion as inferior to your own is exactly what looking down on someone is.
