Updates to My Current Manga #5

Hey there, this is the 5th week I've been posting about my current manga now. ^^

So this week, to my glee, the site I've been reading my manga from has finally started updating some stuck manga again. Yay! Saves me the trouble of having to search for it again on a different site.

• Relife (209)
• The Gamer (198-199)
• Shokugeki no Souma (243)
• Noblesse (488)
• One Piece (888)

Let's get started!

---

First off, Relife. Together, the gang stands watching the sunset from Kaizaki's special place. They all appreciate the view, while for Kaizaki, memories of that place flash, and he gives them a heartfelt thank you for going to the place with him, giving him a good memory to look back on amidst all the sad ones he's had there.

Everyone who has been following this manga has surely felt the deep emotion behind the words he said, especially when Kariu tells him that they should come back there for their university graduation trip and when they become adults. Ah, Kariu, if you just knew how much emotion that stirs in him!
After that, the scene shifts to just Kaizaki and Hishiro going home together. Kaizaki is again contemplating how all that's left is graduation practice and the day itself. Meanwhile, Hishiro appears to have been thinking of something along those lines as well, wanting to have a beautiful memory left! She catches Kaizaki, Onoya and Yoake (who were listening in as usual XD) off guard with the question she posed to Kaizaki. Can you guess what? She has actually asked this of Kaizaki before, when she was still clueless, and was trying to figure out what love is.

Well, have you placed your guesses? Haha

She asked him if he wanted to kiss her! Did you guess it right? XD Onoya was all, "Go do it, Kaizaki, now's your chance!" While Yoake was thinking back to what their researcher at Relife had told him, that even more contact between the two will make them more likely to forget each other. I'm pretty sure that while he was happy for the two, but he was torn by the idea that kissing is definitely a great close contact between them and would be detrimental to their memories. He didn't want Kaizaki to kiss her then. But Kaizaki's response, apart from the initial refusal was totally sweet. In fact, it totally makes you wish that there are more guys like him in the world. He refused Hishiro because she was important to him, and he didn't want to take advantage of her simply because of his own desires. To his eyes, Hishiro is a high schooler that is just about to graduate, and he tells her that it's just a little more time before she graduates, and once she becomes a proper adult, "At that time, please ask me once again."
Hishiro was surprised by his response... But that last image, I wasn't sure if it was a smile, or what. Basically, I think that just further strengthened her idea that Kaizaki is a Relife adult like her. We'll find out what Hishiron thinks of that next week. ^^ (I'm looking forward to it!)

In The Gamer, I read two chapters at once, since they seem to have uploaded the updates at the same time. Jihan has now deployed his kitty army. XD But before that, Shi-Yun asked him why he was going so far for this, and he said that it was simple: games are fun. (yeah, I get you, Jihan, I really do) She also asks him why he helped her and he replies with a slightly embarassed face that it was because they were friends. Shi-Yun is surprised by that. It probably never occurred to her that he would see her as a friend. He tells her that there were many rooms upstairs so she could choose whichever one she wants to stay in for now. (For those who don't know, his mom and dad are not home since they went abroad)
Now images of his kitty army in action are shown, where they are seen lurking upon the many different members of the Church of Masks.

He is troubled that they seem to be so much more than what he originally thought, but realizing this gave him a great idea that since they were so expansive even on public, then they would definitely be searchable on the net. Ding! He found their website, and finds out that they have a whooping 561,928 believers, and 852,310 website members. Well, that is quite the reach! But the good news is, he also found their headquarters on the website. Shi-Yun checks on him to see if he has gotten any good information and he informs her that he has found their headquarters and upon hearing this, she was all rearing to go, but Jihan tells her that they have to be prepared first, and that means: Reconnaissance! He puts up a kind of bounty for exploring the headquarters. Jihan is filthy rich, what with farming being as easy as pie for him, so doing these kind of bounties are no big deal.
In the last few pages, a guy can be seen doing the exploring of the place, even saying that he's gonna make easy money off this job because there were hardly any defenses put up and just security cameras. The job turns up a challenge when a guy with light blue hair and glasses (I've seen this guy before... hmmm...) shows up using some kind of spell immobilizing the spy. He said he was gonna let the spy go if he just answered a simple question, but the spy retaliated and so glasses guy got more serious. The spy was probably gonna end up another member of that cult. They're really creepy, the way they can make someone one of them by just putting the mask on them. That's some seriously troublesome power right there. Shi-Yun almost got captured in their last battle too. Also, basing on what the glasses guy said, it seems that many spies have already gotten caught snooping around that headquarters. Their psychic powers are just too much. -_-

And now it's time for Shokugeki no Souma.
Last time I made the speculation that the person Kuga and Nene saw was Rindou, but I was wrong. :/ It turns out to be this person:

Did you make any guesses too? Haha. I was wrong this time, but definitely, next time!
if you're all wondering why Mimasaka turned out this way, it is because he went and offered himself a "punching bag" for Souma, Takumi and Megumi just the night before, so that they could train in preparation for their current battle. Poor guy! But he had good intentions. He just really wanted to make sure that he could help them out to the best of his abilities. (To those who don't know, Mimasaka has the ability to "trace" enemies, and for this purpose, he traced the ones that his three freshmen peers would be facing, which totally left him drained.

Today's chapter wasn't really much except showing the clash between Souma's swords and Saitou's. It is now revealed why Souma has so many swords. It wasn't simply the result of his collaboration with Takumi and Megumi (haha I like how these two end with "mi". I think I'mma ship these two just for that XD), but it was the culmination of every battle, every day he has spent in Tootsuki.

I'm pretty sure that among those sea of his comrades' blades are also his failed dishes' blades. XD

And as for the winner of this bout:

I'm sure this was pretty obvious. One more for the rebels! Next is gonna be Erina definitely.

I don't like what's about to go down in Noblesse at all. The werewolves haven't really recovered that much from the last incident and now they're getting attacked by the first elder, who still is a quite the mystery. The third elder is mysterious too, the way he's so good at monitoring statuses of others. I don't really know what they're capable of and I'm wondering what kind of problem this would bring to Rai now.The werewolf warriors have gone to investigate why their remaining defense systems are all down. Of course, this was the work of the third elder, and he seems to be using this spy cam. He must be pretty powerful to be able to take down that many werewolves, even if they weren't the elite warriors of the tribe, werewolves themselves are supposed to be strong. And now the first elder sent his guard to attack the warriors. This guard has red eyes, which seems to imply he is a noble??? And the guard calls him "Majesty". Why? Is he royalty? Looking forward to uncovering more about his identity in the coming updates.
As for Rai who was en route to the land of the werewolves, he has flashbacks of when he was discussing about Muzaka with the former lord of the nobles. Muzaka was indeed the greatest warrior the werewolves have ever had and so he was forced to become the lord, but he doesn't want to dominate the world like the rest of the werewolves do. This is inline with the nobles' own convictions, and I think that finding all that out just endeared Muzaka to Rai. Back to the present, Lunark now witnesses the difference between the usual Franky and the Franky when he addresses Rai. Lol. She is totally weirded out by that.

In One Piece, Luffy is now face-to-face with Katakuri again, and Katakuri asks him why he came back. Of course, for Luffy, the only reason was to gain victory. I'm pretty sure he's gonna learn that future haki, and beat Katakuri, but not the easy way, of course.
On the other hand, we find the Straw Hats being pincered by the Big Mama pirates. From the back, we have Big Mama herself followed by some others, and from the front, reinforcements in the form of the other children of Big Mama.
Being in this predicament, Chopper tells them to bring the ship near enough so he can jump and get wild on them, but Carrot butts in, saying that she will definitely be useful because it was a full moon then. Most of them weren't all gung-ho with that idea, but Carrot declares she can handle it. It turns out full moons transforms Zou warriors into Ceylons. From a flashback, Nami remembers it being mentioned that this is the true form of the minks.

And so we have Carrot from this unflattering transformation:

to this babe:

And man, this carrot babe is strong! She's still pretty cunning and fiesty though, destroying the helm so that the ship can't go further where they want. Nice!
the chapter ends with that, but I'm sure there'll be more battling in the next.

Next week I'm gonna try and include Haikyuu!!, but I couldn't put it up now because I have been busy with so many events last week. I'm probably gonna add a few more ongoing manga as well. and maybe put in some anime to add some more variety to the plate. ^^

As for now, that has been all for my manga updates!

I hope you enjoyed reading and maybe have been enticed to read the manga yourself! (that would be nice ^^)

I leave you all with this image of the Relife gang,
