Me And My Gangster Neighbour [Hipster Hotline]

Looking for a feel good slice-of-life series with a splash of drama? Then, give Me And My Gangster Neighbour a shot.

Created by Momose Wataru, Me And My Gangster Neighbour is a manga series about an elementary boy, named Yuuhi and his apartment complex neighbor, Mr. Aoi. Due to an unexcepted event, Yuuhi discovers Mr. Aoi’s secrets: one, that he’s a gangster and, two, he loves cute things. Yuuhi agrees to keep his secrets and a friendship is born.

One big theme of MAMGN (Me And My Gangster Neighbour) is acceptance. Yuuhi accepting Mr. Aoi for who his is as well as his Uncle are good examples of that. It’s not always easy living your life in contrast to what society says is normal. I love how the manga explores that without sounding preachy. People are who they are and that’s that. It’s simple but effective storytelling.

The Enhancers’ Adventure Starts Here

Here it is! The very first chapter of my story: The Enhancers: Never Fight Friends Alone! Be the first person in your neighborhood to read the greatest story about four kids with power bracelets trying to protect their home, Aquamarine City. Well, maybe, not “protect”, but they do live there. Hey! I never said they were heroes.

Don’t Blow It, All Might [My Hero Academia 400]

Only one quirk left for All Mech to copy.

Bakugo’s Explosion quirk is all All Might has to stall All For One with. Interesting how it’s the one quirk that could also be interpreted as All Might’s mech suit self-destructing. Did you see All Might rushing at AFO at the end of the chapter? Either he’s trying to use Explosion at point-blank range or he’s gonna blow himself up. …Maybe both.

I think we all knew Stain was gonna step in at some point. Horikoshi made a point of showing him following All Might several chapters ago. Seeing Stain flying on a glider that looks similar to All Mech’s gadgets has me guessing the two worked out some kind of a plan before AFO showed up.

10 internet dollars for anyone who can explain just what the flying fish ‘n chips Hagakure’s saying.

Admiral Kizaru’s Kickstarter [One Piece 1092]

Gear 4 against Admiral Kizaru? Seriously?

Come on! You know better than that, Luffy. In fact, I don’t blame you. I blame Oda for wanting to end this chapter on a Gear 5 cliffhanger at logic’s expense.

Jewelry Bonney got the snot kicked out of her! I guess she fell down to the Fabriophase. Just her and that awakening Ancient Robot. Get in that robot and go Gundam on the Navy, Bonney!

The Ancient Robot is powered by toon force. It’s giant mallet and ACME bombs will come in handy.

Anyone Got A Light? [My Hero Academia 399]

Is Kunieda the last powerful Tartarus escapee?

I guess so. Too bad. Seems like the Tartarus escapees were mostly just fodder to wear out Deku. There was a real opportunity to see a lot more powerful villains with crazy quirks. Oh well, I’m grateful for the ones we got.

The Aoyama/Hagakure team-up attack was great! Y’All know I’m a sucker for combo moves. Still, I don’t think it was worth the wait. Anyway, with the Kunieda fight over, that leaves only All For One and Shigaraki to deal with. We’re really nearing the end of the road, my friends.

The blast also blew up the DMV. Good job, All Might!

Allow Me To Introduce You To “The Enhancers”

Redgeek, here! I’m been busy writing an original story starring The Enhancers. Who, you ask? Basically, they’re a team of kids trying to find an evil alien organization. At least, that’s what they’re supposed to be doing. If you’re curious, read more about them below.

Don’t You Hate It When Admirals Show Up Unannounced? [One Piece 1091]

You did your bet, Sentomaru.

Still, I don’t think you’re worthy of getting the chapter named after you. We did see your (short) backstory, so I guess that’s fine. Hey? Was Sentomaru’s backstory the first time we’ve seen Admiral Kizaru laugh? I think so.

Bye-bye, Sea Beast Weapons! Watch out, Navy. Animal-cyborg rights groups are gonna flip out once they find out. Talk about a PR nightmare! But, at least the Navy now controls of the PX-IIIs. Guess we’ll see them again during the final war playing a similar back-up role like the OG Pacifistas during the Marineford War.

You think that’s bad, Kizaru? Wait until you see Luffy’s table manners.

Stussy’s down! Oh, no! How dare you finger her without permission, Rob Lucci! Forget, Zoro. Women’s rights groups are gonna rip you a new one. Knowing the World Government, he’ll probably just get promoted again. That’s what happens when the world is literally controlled by guys. Where’s Susan D. Anthony when we need her?

Robotech [My Hero Academia 398]

Start the All Might Dying Countdown!

All Might fighting All For One at Tatoin Station. The same place he first met Midoriya in chapter one. All Might’s first appearance in the series could also be his last alive. Now, that’s what I call a poetic death flag. But, don’t worry, All Might fans. The world’s greatest hero has more Class 1-A modifications to use. No doubt he’s saving Bakugo, Todoroki, and Deku’s for last. My guess is we have at least another three or four chapters of All Might goodness left. So, stock up on your tissues now. You’re gonna need ’em.

Wait. You don’t think Horikoshi is killing All Might in chapter 400? Do you? Hmm…

Superacid injection? Ain’t that a war crime? Shh! Nobody say anything!

We Don’t Negotiate With Sea Terrorists [One Piece 1090]

Who punched Robin in the boobs?

The culprit is probably York given how much Nami wants to knock the taste out of her mouth. Here’s something interesting: This is the first time Luffy talked directly with the Five Elders. It was played for laughs but that felt like a powerful moment. Hope we get another.

So, Saint Saturn has three main objectives. I can see him getting the Power Plant, Punk Records too. As for York The Greedy? Nah! I’m thinking Blackbeard’s Crew snatches her before the Navy. But, that’s mostly because I want York joining the Blackbeard Pirates, complete with getting a brand new devil fruit, of course.

Mobile Suit Gundam OFA [My Hero Academia 397]

Just a reminder that All For One isn’t wearing underwear. Carry on.

This chapter is seven pages. Whatever’s happening with Horikoshi, I hope he’ll be okay.

More fighty-fighting between All Mech and All For One. I’m not surprised AFO’s gaining momentum. You all know how most shonen fights go: One side’s winning, then the other, then back again, La-Di-Da…someone wins. So don’t worry All Might fans, Toshinori still has plenty of Class 1-A quirks to adapt. I’m sure Bakugo and Todoroki’s quirks are getting some love. What I really want to see are Mina and Aoyama’s quirks adapted. AFO getting an acid shower and laser to the face would be so satisfying!

You really shouldn’t talk about how someone’s dressed, AFO. You look like a Dead By Daylight killer if the developers got the rights to use Balenciaga.
