So, Yakitake Japan frequently jumps a series of progressively larger sharks. However, it has somehow topped itself yet again. http://www.onemanga.com/Yakitate_Japan/226/18/

That's right, the villain isn't an evil baker, it is a sentient, evil type of bread that wants to take over the world by having people eat it.

Are the scanlations really that far behind? Because I've known about that twist for a couple of years. Really too bad, because the manga certainly started out promising.

Same here. I liked it at the start too but it took a decidedly sharp turn for the worse when it became one tournament arc after another and when Kawachi moved from being a rival to being the butt of jokes for no good reason at all. Plot AND character derailment of the worst kind.

I'm sort of curious as to how Kawachi is still supposed to be a comic relief character now that he is a crippled inhuman freak with no sign that he will ever recover. I just feel sorry for the almost everyone who had a reaction during the latest tournament. It is all well and good to say it was bread to die for, but those people all suffered fates worse than death.

Fact (1): Yakitate Japan was a fun, enjoyable series at the beginning.

Fact (2): At some point it jumped over a huge grotesque shark, promptly sank deep into the water, and never came back up for air again.

Question: When did (2) happen?

Discuss.

No magic bread has shown any signs of making people more human. Of course, the anti-evil bread Azuma is working on might be a universal cure for everyone who was horribly disfigured by eating bread.

I'd say the history-changing Cannabis bread was probably the moment that reactions jumped the shark.

History-changing was enough to be great instead of jumping the shark. I'd say the guy permanently turning into a dam was the point of no return.

Fun-time is over.

So is anyone else reading the new thing from Makoto Raiku (Gash Bell)? Seems Raiku got a taste for drawing wildlife, since Doubutsu No Kuni (Animal Country) is full of the buggers, ranging from super toony to really realistic in style, with everything in between. Anime Destiny, the guys who got to the end of Gash first are scanning and have got the first chapter out, as well as ch 0, it's monthly and has only just started so they expect to be catching up soon.

As for the manga itself, seems pretty good so far

MORE ROBUST THAN EVER BEFORE.


New series for everyone to scope out.

Sun-Ken Rock (IS a manga, read right to left)

New Seinen series about a guy that falls in love with a girl in high-school, then said girl leaves for Korea to become a cop. He drops out and follows after her with less than stellar results.

That is, until a local gang makes him their leader.

Heroman

Shounen series from BONES and Stan Lee. Simple plot, but I get a kick out of it. Boy has toy that turns into a big rear end-kicking robot, saves the day.

For me it was After the first huge competition. That seemed like a natural end for me except they united with their enemy and went on to make a TV show while touring the country?

So has anyone else started reading Baby Steps?

I don't know how I'd really classify it genre wise, but I think it fits into a shounen/comedy/romance type mold. Basically a kid who gets made fun of for his almost OCD perfectionism, immaculate note-taking skills, and "old man" personality (not perverted old man) decides he needs to start getting some exercise and ends up getting forced into a local tennis club by his mother. He then runs into his romantic interest and things go from there.

There's only 8 chapters out so far, but it seems to be pretty good so far. It's definitely nothing like Prince of Tennis, as there aren't any retarded Dragonballesque moves or anything. Plus, for the first time in a long time I don't hate the main character.

Agreeing on this, the further I got in the more of the hotbloodedness that made me love Gash Bell shone through. I'll be following this series for sure.

Why is Kawachi a little Daruma guy? Hu-Pan? Maou? When did the story change to saving humanity from creating a Japanese Bread?!

I loved the anime for this series, even though Yakitate 9 kinda, okay really, sucked, but everything up through Monaco was awesome. How in the world has it gone so bat poo poo?

It came out a while ago so I don't think it needs spoilers anymore. Kawachi is a daruma because he reacted to the ancient Japanese daruma wheat. He's tiny because when Azuma's grandfather ate his Egypt Ja-Pan, he turned into a butterfly and sucked blood or some poo poo out of Kawachi.

They really, really should have made that clown guy's bread reaction the weirdest one and left out the stupid transformations since then.
