Whick Chikura are you talking about? I don't want more Nao since Renjou is gone, but I'd really like to have some Kazuma. He is, along with Renjou, the most decent male characters in this manga.

My favourite pairings (besides Nao & Renjou) are 1) AyumiXMisao, 2) YuujiXMisaki, and the most evil 3) KoyoiXYoshihiko...

Kei and Kusuda looks very interesting, but I can't stand Kusuda's current personality.

[Dhaos]

I was referring to nao because i think that the developpement of her story with sogape may be interresting to see.

Ch 28.

Wow, I wonder if it's just me, or is having a bunch of pretty girls chasing after you into really far places every guy's dream? Anyway, looks like confrontation will occur in ch. 29.

[Waven]

It's rather the interest and dedication that we appreciate... this very situation is just a scenario that shows those things

[frubam]

This manga kinda feels like School Rumble(though I've only seen the anime of it). Just finished chp 8, so I'm guessing that the big guy reminded me of harima, with the stalking behind pillars and feeding animals and such, not to mention the tangle of this-char-likes-that-char chain.

[LCeh]

Fun chapter.

Spoiler for Chap 29:

So the guys were obviously having some problems, since they were basically living on the streets and didn't have much money on them.

When the guys woke up, they used most of their money to get some food, then got on their bikes and started wandering mindlessly again. While they were biking, they started thinking about the reason of the trip (ie their heartbreaks), and what they had to do to become better, except Kusuda who just kept silent the whole way.

Finally, as they were arguing, they arrived at a beach, and the beauty of the scenery stunned them. They ran over to the shore, and started confessing really loudly. Finally, it was Kusuda's turn and he yelled "I really like you, Enomoto!" which was when the girls showed up, and so the guys are running away from the girls now.

Thoughts: Good chapter, certainly the resolution of this arc will lead to some sort of development between Enomoto and Kusuda, and possibly other pairings as well. Looking forward to it.

[Onizuka-GTO]

yeah, kusuda & Enomoto reminds me of Harima and Eri

except it's happening much more naturally and faster.

hell, feels better then scrumble at this moment.

only the latest chapter, before that it's been a bit stale, i grown tired of the Harima-tenma thing, the only thing that been driving me on, was the yakumo thing, plus akira.


hatsukoi on the other hand, has been great since the start. romance yeeeaah.

Uh you do know School Rumble is more of a comedy series then a romance series right? Hatsukoi Limited on the other hand concentrates more on the romance part.

Anyways as much I'm enjoying this series I'm a bit worried it may be cancelled because ratings wise on Shonen Jump it's constantly been really low. Shonen Jump has been cancelling alot of series recently that aren't popular which is why I'm a bit worried about this series. I think readers may have lost interested because it has too many characters and doesn't exactly help that not all of them are interesting characters.

I think the series could have gone without the two alike characters keep forgetting their names you know the one that liked Yamamoto (loli pop girl) they look too similiar and act the same, just one of them would been fine. The older tuff afro brother also isn't interesting. Same goes with the swimming team characters you know the swimming maniac and the big breast girl both are boring.

I would like to see more of the the pair that is already a couple uh what where their names again? lol see there's too many characters that I can't remember their names.

Also really like Enomoto and Kusuda interacting with each other. More of Nao is always good same with Sogabe like his personality when he tries to impress Nao. And finally Yamamoto's characters would like to see her in trying to gain the interest of what's his name with the sister complex. Those characters alone would have made the series much better. The rest of the characters feel like their dragging the series down because their not that interesting.

But who knows since the series is still too early on maybe those characters will improve hopefully though the series will still be running and not cancelled.

[Waven]

True, i got most of the names mixed up pretty often except for the ones that had more focus on them. Besides it doesn't really help that half of the characters are siblings. From the beginning of the manga the character introductions were somewhat confusing but it's good to see that after having just single or double character focus per chapter to have a lot of characters get involved in one "arc" like the valentines day "arc" before.

Spoiler for latest chapters:

Therefore i really liked the last 3 chapters especially the climax when Kusuda confessed without knowing Enomoto was just behind him hearing it all. I expected them to make up within these chapters but this way was a blast to say the least. Even better: there will be a fourth chapter where maybe we get to see her answer, this i hope.

If the mangaka keeps getting up this focus on the more "popular" characters while maintaining a good plot progression she (yep the mangaka is a woman afaik) can save her work from being cancelled. I for my part would hate to see it cancelled cause i love her art and style of storytelling since Ichigo 100%.

[NoOneKnowS]

lol @ chapter 29. The confessions wer just priceless. We get to see a handful of fanservice too. I never knew Kei has such huge boobs. o_O. Kusuda is one young lucky man. And good thing for Bessho making Yuuji think of Yamamoto?(was that her name?) more.

And it's been a long time since we see the elder Zaitsu-kun. I though the mangaka already forgot about him lol.

This manga is slated to be canned according to 2ch thread along with MX0.

I'll give it 2 chapters left at the most.

今更用無しかも
in　島袋（2号連続巻頭）濱田（新人）
out　H　ポ　初　M

アーツの2回目頃に決まったようで、新連載は除外みたいです。
次期から連載枠が減るようです。
初はやはり不調が祟ったよう。
ポもギャグ優遇でも庇えなかった模様。
Mは急落ということでもないようですが今期までの判断。
単純にアンケは虎、兎などの方が不調なようなので
来期以降はここらが鍵になりそうかと

新連載はスタートはまずまずなよう。
ぬらりはかなりスタートダッシュに成功したみたいです

あと、>>8は正誤半々って感じで正直よくわかりません
ただ、書込みの時期に終了が決定してる事は無いでしょう

I really don't want this manga to end any where soon.
Hatsukoi is one of the very few manga currently being released that I appreciate.

[ZODDGUTS]

Oh well I can deal with it as long they don't cancelled Sket Dance now that series has been awesome since the very first chapter. If true about Mx0 well at least it had a decent run can't complain much there.

Anyways hopefully the manga-ka learns her lesson in not introducing so many damn characters in a series especially if several of them aren't all that interesting and you can't really remember their names because their just too many characters.

Unless it starts to gain better ratings on Shonen Jump very soon the series won't last long because it's been constantly near dead last in rankings/ratings for quiet awhile now.

[phyxius]

Hatsukoi has had some great arc's, the best so far: Valentine's Day (ch17 through 20). Though after that the manga suffered from ch21 through 23 (Chikaru Nao arc), the three most boring chapters yet. (If she ends up with Sogabe then that would most probably greatly increase her interest by far, purely speculation though)

If Kawashita decides to focus more on Yamamoto again or put more development on Yuuji (Arihara) in the next couple of chapters, that, would most probably give rise to Hatsukoi's rating.. considering how much it sank after ch20. Yamamoto and Yuuji's got great chemistry IMO and that's what I want most development in Hatsukoi right now. These two, together.

DobashiXTerai, NaoXSogabe, KeiXKusuda and MisakiXYuuji are my couples of choice.

And just to say this; Kawashita's earlier manga being a fairly great success - Ichigo100% - 19 volumes says pretty much everything. Wouldn't THAT put more interest in her current manga from the Jump-staff (or what I'm supposed to call them) that chanses are, this manga is gonna be just as or even more popular in the long run?

Mx0 and Hatsukoi?!?!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

WTF? two of my favourites?!

just when both manga are reaching the good bits? this is bad.

what are they thinking?

Mx0 is quite refreshing for a shounen series, and hatsuoi is just great in it's straightforwardness.

but meh, Japan's taste in manga been going funny lately, it doesn't help when the manga industry is in recession as well.

Oh, love the latest chapter, talk about bening pwned!

lolol.


just funny that they didn't see the girls at all.

but classic cliffhanger! lol.

dammmit! FLEEEE!

funny how it's the other way round, that it's the girls chasing the blokes.

guess it's true, if you run, they will naturally chase after you.

humans are such predators.
