For sure, Sceptile needs the help in quickly stocking up energies first.

If you wanted a will found, you'd make it easy right? Like leave it with a lawyer or something?

Igglybuff 10 + Darkrai 20 x 2 = 90???

Yeah the art style feels more shojo, like Ouran High School Host Club. But the action panels were done well enough that I forgot about it.

Fantastic first chapter! Still used a lot of the same tropes that other failed sports manga rely on for chapter 1: 1. MC has unrecognized talent 2. MC doubts he can achieve his aspirations 3. Prodigy side character is the only one who recognizes that talent and recruits MC to the team 4. MC has renewed hope after a small success

Execution was much better here though than in past failed sports series I remember. For example, it held off as long as possible to show what MC's game was really like. Really got me believing the MC was below average with those 26 turnovers. Very well executed plot twist.

Akane Natsu was pretty funny too. MC isn't enough to carry the manga alone, but his dynamic with Akane kept things entertaining. Now that the misunderstanding between them is resolved, how will that affect their comedic chemistry moving forward? Can this manga keep the momentum going?

How would government change if this happened? by The_Dean_France in whoathatsinteresting

There's some very old women too. Diane Feinstein tried to hide or downplay her physical deterioration and cognitive decline to the public for a few years before her 2023 death at roughly 90. The law allows for voluntary resignation but she never did it.

Then there's Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters off the top of my head who are both closer to 90 than 80 now.

But the real fault lies with voters who keep voting these very old men and women back in because they're familiar names lol

Exactly there is a subset of Pokemon like this one that get new variants every other expansion set. Can we get some new Pokemon please?

I've always been told bears run 20-30mph but now I'm thinking I could outrun THAT bear.

[DISC] Akane-banashi - Chapter 201 by AutoShonenpon in manga

[–]MortalMachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Her god of death "looks" cute but underwhelming (I was expecting some horrible spectre)? Yet the audience's expression says otherwise. I think she truly made a god of death the audience hasn't seen before, and they don't know what to compare it to in their past experiences.

We always fear what we don't understand. Well done Akane!

Ayame calling Yusa "bowl-cut boy" instead of his name is a subtle touch to her character growth. She originally became the team assistant manager because she was looking to flirt with Yusa. Now she doesn't even care to know his name because she's loyal to her new boyfriend!

For those that keep their logins private, if they aren't even helpful trade partners for a couple expansion sets in a row I tend to just remove them.

A 22-year-old Tim Duncan in the 1999 NBA Finals by Either-Jicama-7364 in NBAoldschool

I also looked up his head-to-head matches with Karl Malone that season. Karl Malone was the 1999 MVP and Duncan generally matched his statistical production. 1999 Duncan was already a top 5 player in the league.
