So far only 63 chapters, all in 10 volumes. Although many of us wait for the 11th volume coming out the 19th this month.

That part was hilarious! Especially the expression on his face.
I like the humor in TenTen, mostly when when they turn chibi, or when Bunshichi acts like an old fart. ^_^

Actually it is serialised in some magazine and there are scanlates of the latest chapters out there.

I only managed to get Chinese scans of chapters 71 & 72. Masataka is getting a chance to show off there.

*Sigh* even though the Vol 11 would be released soon, it will probably take at least a month or two for the Chinese copy to arrive in my region (then I have to decide to buy the Taiwanese or Hong Kong publisher version grrr)...

They're just guessing, no one knows for sure.

I have a feeling the series will end somewhere around volume 4 with Shin as the final enemy or something. And i don't see them doing the past arc in the anime, that would take way too long and it doesn't even have the main characters in it.

Where do you get the scans? I heard some new girl appears and Masa will fight her. I haven't seen him actually fought seriously in the manga so that should definately be interesting.

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but can we stick to talking about the ANIME here, as this is the ANIME board, there is a manga board where you can talk about the manga as much as you like, I'm sure I am no the only one who is getting slightly confused, and also some people are not spoilering the manga talk, and even though the anime might not get very far, there is still a possibility that the anime might reach there and so you have spoilt the story for people that are not reading the manga.

yup the young girl from "F" fought him, who uses a pair of mini-arc wielders which look like light sabers...

Finally had the chance to see episode three. This episode was lacking in the adrenaline department comparing to the other two episodes. It also has left an annoying mystery, one that let you yearn for the next episode, of how a twig can leave such a mark.

I agree with Crimson. I don't see this series to be a long running one at this point in the anime.

hmm... if you are familiar with martial arts novels or the Legend of Condor Hero anime, it's no mystery, it's just some strike with chi/kai/whatever... Since Ryuzaki can use his fire chi to burn a motorcycle, making a big mark on the ground with a twig is not too surprising... also from what I remember, the mark on the ground in the anime is quite smaller than the one in the manga... hmm... it seems they powered up Masataka but powered down Maya in the anime (which is also evident in episode 2)

Actually I think they're making Masataka seem weaker than in the manga


A scene from the manga / episode 2

Spoiler:

He annihilated that floor after taking a shot from maya and getting held back by Aya.

I really like Masataka though, he's a closet pervert and he's very strong/realible when he needs to be not to mention all those hilarious moments

Spoiler:

Better watch it when you're zipping up your pants...

[I)ark-I)eath]

read the manga awhile ago...the past arc was like a series for itself .....and now im curious if vol 11 is translated?

[Holy Knight]

Anime ep 3 spoiler:

Spoiler:

I was hoping for more evidence to concluded to Bob's girl friend getting 'violated'. It would have made Maya's scene that much more satisfying imo.

I should have put the term mystery in a quotation mark in my previous post. The note of sarcasm would have been obvious then. That "mystery" was annyoing because the animators put it in the end so the audience has to look forward to the next episode. Tricky animators. That's the reason I like animes that tend to tell different story in each episode such as 100 stories. Unfortunately I didn't read the manga. So I have no other choice but to find out episode by episode as the story develops. Maya is powered down you say? She still manages to appear formidable. Too bad we didn't get to see her tranformation from her chibi-self. Well, I will be grateful if the series manages to be half as good as Condor Hero.

Spoiler:

Volume 11 came out yesterday and I must say that I am pleased with what I've read. This is by far the most violent volume yet, especially when Nagi goes........but my favorite was when Bob was fighting the girl with the Sabers!!! That was sweet right there. She almost reminded me of Ivy from Soul Calibur with her weapon. But in actually honest, the best part was when Nagi became possesed by the Dragon's Eye. The art work done there was awsome. I hope this volume gets animated.

Spoiler:

she's not... umm.. "violated" like in the manga.... because her cloths were still on and intact when Ryuzaki called Maya. The anime has changed some part of the story and toned down all sex/violence I guess

Actually I think they're making Masataka seem weaker than in the manga

well, yup, but then compared to Maya he looks somewhat stronger... since he now can brush away chibi-Maya like nothing unlike in the manga... also the shining red eyes look cooler in the anime I guess... poor chibi-Maya in the anime not only getting brushed away by Masataka, but also getting crushed under Aya

Spoiler:

Dragon's Fist or Dragon's Eye? I'm wondering because it's Aya who has the Dragon's Eye. I'm afraid I haven't seen this part yet. Care to tell me what chapter are you referring to? Thanks.

although i thought this scene was unnecessary when i read the manga i now think that it should have happen in the anime (i hate it when they don't exactly follow the manga) but anyway i like this anime and i even wonder if it was a good decision to drop the manga after the first volume.

Episode 2&3 SPOILERS

Spoiler:

I love anime as much as the next person, but its about time an anime came out in which it doesn't need a 10-15 minute speech or flashback as to why such and such fights and for what reason. All I needed was that five minute flashback of Souchirou, which is still very vague and gives the viewer one more reason to keep watching, sorta like pulling a 100 dollar bill accross the floor and watching someone chase after it. But anyway, drama and seriousiness is great by all means, but too much of a good thing is bad. And sometimes you just want to see people go at it without a deep and meaningful reason to it, and that was Tenjo Tenge ep2, all it was, was just sheer beat down to the 3rd power. That fight was short and way one-sided but its possibly the best fight scene I've seen in months. It was beautifully drawn, to the point, and just cool as fuck.

Episode 3 was alright, I really thought they were going to show what Ryuzaki did to both Bob and Souchirou but oh well, but I can't wait for ep 3

MANGA SPOILER

Spoiler:

Cause Ryuzaki is gonna get the GERMAN SUPLEX OWNAGE.

yeah, and I thought he was dead, yet don't they show Tyuzaki in the next ep previews?

Why was a branch able to trash him, and also WHY didn't he know that????

Questions, bother, guess I have to watch more and that means WAITING to see the answers.

I'm curious what does Tenjou Tenge mean in English?

[hunterx]

the manga was as vague as the anime as far as the violation is concerned. The only difference was the anime had her clothes on and the manga had her clothes off. For all we know mr long tongue is just a licker

I personally think the animation is good... but the character design's been butchered up a bit... the music seems a bit corny but I feel it'll grow on me.

All you Tenjo Tenge manga readers out there will also notice a few obvious differences. Overall, I deem this anime very watchable and I await the 2nd episode with anticipation.

If you don't mind alil Fanservice(ok, alot) and enjoy action/comedy anime. Check Tenjo Tenge out, you'll be pleasently suprised.

Episode 1 rating 7.5/10.

I personaly agree with you... I already download the 1st ep. but after that i was very disapointed because after i download the 1st ep. @ animesuki it was licence does anyone know where can i get the rest of the ep.?
