(L) K-On! Manga discussion

[yezhanquan]

Well, at least the girls had their speech patterns right now. Poor Azusa, only one practising for the band.

[Pachael]

I'm looking forward to the inevitable chaos ;p

[Patriot's Blade]

argh, Mugi-sama & her fantasies, she must've had created a conspiracy group within the school with the power of her family linage
& ~moe-moe~ Ritsu is a win!

because of all this mess, maybe they should change their band's name into RomIO & Juliet instead!

Don't say that. Give her some credit for helping to create a more beautiful world for all of us.

[Apostle_Kyon]

At this rate, Yui and Ritsu might not get into college.. so after they graduate, they'll be ronins, retaking their exams and also participating in their band with Azusa.. maybe Ui will also learn an instrument and that'll make 4 of them again!

If you remember Ui can play guitar better than Yui..

Ui is more consistent. But, in her moments of genius, Yui can beat her younger sis hands down.

Agreed and fix'd.
Wonder if you'll get my referance

[Sparvid]

Having finished the manga yesterday, I no have gone from "A second season would be nice" to "Please please please please please do a second season!"
I wish they'd at least compose and record the second run of songs...

The Ui gag at the beginning of the school trip was fairly predictable, but oh so hilarious!

wait, is the manga done?

No, it's still ongoing. Next chapter is coming out tomorrow in Japan. It'll be chapter 15 of volume 3.

[SaintessHeart]

42 is out. And in the first few panels, we already have some bit of dominatrix......

[MrTerrorist]

Reading the latest chapter makes me think the next one might be last chapter.

[Sparvid]

I wonder how long it will be until those t-shirts are produced

[Pachael]

That chapter went on remarkably quickly considering the build up of the last.

^ Thanks for useful info.

[bhl88]

They should bring the English version to us. (if only English translations come out in a timely manner XD)

[Vexx]

Well... currently its unlicensed and I'm sure you can find scanlations out there

It'll be interesting to see if the either the DVDs or manga get licensed.

[Jintor]

I'm hoping the manga does. I really wish the Lucky Star manga got licenced as well.
