Ichigo 100%

[thedemonfox]

how many chapters are in this manga and is it already finished or is it still going on?

[ZeQueH]

Well the manga is still going on. I believe there are currently 133+ chapters with 88 of them translated by yanime and animewaves

[thedemonfox]

yea i just read chapter 88 and i need more im going to die from withdrawal mainly cause i read 85 chapters yesterday >.>

[ZeQueH]

Damn it took me a week to get to chapter 53. Instead of going in withdrawal waiting for the next chapter of Ichigo to release you should try some similar manga like Open Sesame/Pastel/Gacha Gacha/I's/IO

[Last of the Uchihas]

yea i just read chapter 88 and i need more im going to die from withdrawal mainly cause i read 85 chapters yesterday >.>


You beat me, it took me almost two day to read up tp chapter 87.

[thedemonfox]

yea i was sick lol and those ppl need to work faster lol

[ttestagr]

i still need to read 86 :(

[paueu]

god, this manga is so great... i'm in love with nishino XD~~~ ... btw could those yanime/aw work faster >_____> ....
i am dying to see ch90 ...ghrrrrr

[kane_x]

This manga is pretty good, started to read it last thursday and I've become totally addicted to it... I just love the story and the characters... Plus I'm quite envious of Junpei, he's basicly a loser and yet still all the hot chicks fall for him... Why can't something like that happen in real life?

[newport]

you guys are gonna be blown, one of the original girls gets taken somewhere past ch.100

[paueu]

wtf.. fcken spoilerer.. good i didn't understand :P ... ban for him :|

[newport]

wow, you recommend a ban for that, geez yur a dick, i hope you get yur ass kicked and taken fer yur money

[thedemonfox]

i love this series they do need to work faster*pulls out the whip* like they were when they pumping it out like twice a week lol

[newport]

yea i was lucky, iwas introduced to this series when they were up in th 60-70's so i got to read alot of it in one sitting :NF smile:

[Last of the Uchihas]

how many chapters are in this manga and is it already finished or is it still going on?


Last time i heard it was 133 chapters so far, of course they are raw. This series shows no signs of ending any time soon.

[SabakuKyuu]

Well you can also look at the scanlations at Anime-source.com. its up to 90 now.

[Last of the Uchihas]

Well you can also look at the scanlations at Anime-source.com. its up to 90 now.


Actually, up to chapter 91. So hurry up and d/l it now. It was released a couple of hours ago.

[fuwafuwa]

I read the first 20ish chapters a very, very long time ago. But from what I remember, the main character is total idiot.

[Confucius345]

currently 241 episodes of naruto and were still going strong!!!

[Kaos]

Anyone reading this magna i just read the first 6 vol in 1 day :) its that good and the girls are so cute :wink i think its a must read and it's very popular

[Last of the Uchihas]

Is not that good, it just have adorable girls.There already a thread about this around here.

[SabakuKyuu]

I beg to differ, I love the series as much or possibly more than Naruto and i can't wait until someone subs the OVA already!!!

[FoX_DeMoN_NaRuTo]

OVA? theres an anime??? if there is, tell me where 2 dl

[Fuko]

I love this manga... it's on weekly shonen jump, ryt? on what ch. is the latest?

[kane_x]

I beg to differ, I love the series as much or possibly more than Naruto and i can't wait until someone subs the OVA already!!!

What, there's an OVA?! Aw man, I hope it gets subbed soon.
I just love the whole series so much. It kills me to wait the next chapter...

love this manga... it's on weekly shonen jump, ryt? on what ch. is the latest?


The latest is chapter 95.

[Kaos]

Which of the girls would you pick? I would pick tsukasa she's so cute but its a hard decision so many hot girls to chose from.

[kevin77]

good question.

They all have different personalities, but they are all adorable.

I'd go with Nishino Tsukasa coz she is the modern girl type. (Aya is just too conservative and shy, while the other is just way too wild and shameless)

[SabakuKyuu]

Its all in my sig :p

[ChaochroX]

Hmm well what is it about pure strawberries and hot girls?

[Shrimpie]

I just read a couple of pages (first 30 of first volume), and it's kinda funny...
Hmmm, strawberry panties :shoked

[kane_x]

I'd pick Toujou. She's my favorite girl in the series, Nishino is pretty good too, but I like the mysterious strawberry panties girl the best. :P

[roguenoir]

Haha.. this one's so hilarious and ecchi. Hopefully in the end the main character will have his intimate moment with the girl of his choice w/o it being interrupted. I can't wait for the OVA to come out.

[Skye]

Well, I am right now, and I really don't think I should ever had started... Its like crack, you know its bad, but you keep on going...

So yeah, I'm at Chapter 59, and the main character is such an idiot. This manga is actually quite interesting, but meh, I don't know. What do you all think?

[Hinata123]

never heard of it whats it about?

[Vodrake]

never heard of it whats it about?

"Manaka Junpei, a student who dreams of making a movie, goes up to his school's roof and is suddenly surprised when a girl drops in front of him. Manaka is so stunned, he cannot remember anything about her except her strawberry panties. In his quest to find this girl, his love adventure begins...but in the end, which strawberry panties girl will he be with? Or will he be with any of them at all?"

There's alreay a thread for ichigo 100% but yeah, it's one of my fave mangas at the moment. I'm up to chapter 108 and manaka still really hasn't chosen which girl he likes, which is slightly annoying but still fun. Due to his indesisiveness though, I would probably burst out laughing if all the girls just gave up on him and lef.t

[Skye]

never heard of it whats it about?


Its pretty much a romantic comedy. Something like I"s, Love Hina, Patel, etc. If you've ever read any of this sort, you would know that the main character in these manga, are complete dumbasses, usually surrounded by hot girls who only like him.... :notrust

[pakku]

It's pretty good for some "light reading."

Err... ahem.

[Ingoman]

Well, I am right now, and I really don't think I should ever had started... Its like crack, you know its bad, but you keep on going...

So yeah, I'm at Chapter 59, and the main character is such an idiot. This manga is actually quite interesting, but meh, I don't know. What do you all think?

I know! It's like "My god, this plot revolves around panty shots and contrived situations, why can't I stop reading it!"

[BigAznDaddy]

manga is like crack, as soon as you've had some you want more :)

[Natsuko]

I read that manga! :smile-big

It's very funny and cute, I like that manga.

I heard they're gonna make an OVA out of it! :)

[XxD666CxX]

I Love Dis!!!

I Bought The Manga!!!

And Loved It!!!

The Cover Is Nice!!

But Not So Eye Catching!!!

But There was 1 i'd really like ( But Ferget )

At 1st i tot it was gonna be somthin like Boys Be!!

But It's Really Nice!!

Fer Dose Hu Like Dis!!

Hmm Wanna Start A Fanclub!!

Hahaha Just Curios!!

[Fuko]

Yup. Love the manga. love this types of mangas.

[kane_x]

Ichigo has lately been a bit too ecchi for my taste. But I still love it. :P

[FoX_DeMoN_NaRuTo]

ecchi=good...

[Natsuko]

Too ecchi it's almost hentai level

and hentai is.... :notrust

Well, you know what I mean.

[skethee2]

I really like reading this

Poor Manaka...which one to choose

of course I hate him for having 3 girls who would give their hearts to him
I am starting to yell to my self "choose already you stupid mofu bastard" hahaha

well I read chapter 114

seems like he is starting to become more and more along

Tsukasa probably gonna get married to that cheff guy

Aya gonna be with that other guy

And Satsuki probably gonna stay out of Manakas life or its another trick to win him back

[InsincereDave]

I read the first 20ish chapters a very, very long time ago. But from what I remember, the main character is total idiot.

So true :smile-big He is so indecisive, if I had a girl like Satsuki ripping off her clothes every so often so I would fall for her, then you damn well better believe I would!

I think theres meant to be a anime of this starting up soon, should be something to look forward to.

[BlackBeret]

I saw this series at my book store. I also have all the latest chps.

[IkariBattousai]

Does anyone know exactly where the manga is in terms of chapter numbers in Japan now? And what about these pictures I've been seeing of Toujou in that Shonen Jump All Stars game for the DS? Is it just me or do characters from Ichigo seem slightly out of place there?

[Skye]

Ichigo 100% is at around Chapter 150 in Japan, 114 has been scanlated.

[IkariBattousai]

Cool, thanks for the update but I have another question... is it still going? I don't want it to end yet.

[skethee2]

damn...we have sooo many chapters to catch up to
but its getting very interesting now
since every one is leaving manaka

[IkariBattousai]

Yeah, it seems so. It really sucks though because I wantd him to get together with Nishino. Usually I'm in favor of the main girl in series like this, but there's something about Toujo I don't like very much and I think it would be cool if he got together with Nishino or someone else instead.

[skethee2]

Nope...I am all for Toujo...she was the first one to notice Manaka
beside i think they both kinda share the same dream...or along the same line
but I really like Nishino and Satsuki as well
too bad manaka cant keep em all (haahaha u can see what guys are thinking)

makes you wonder if u can find people like that in real life

[Skye]

Yeah, its still going in Japan, and probably won't end for awhile... At least thats what I've heard.

And actually, maybe spoilers?

Nishino actually like Manaka first. It was in a flashback around the time when they almost did it in the Nurse's office.... <_<

[skethee2]

does anyone know if 115 is out
or when its gonna come out?

[Fuko]

hey... i've downloaded chapter 145 raw (weekly shonen jump vesion) somewhere... and that site doesnt seem to work anymore. too much spoiler for me. i can read japanese but i cant understand them all.
anyway...
this chapter is all about nishino and manaka. they were walking and about to part when manaka confesses to nishino (I guess) then everyone looked at them. they escaped by going to a park then they kissed. kissed again and went home. at the end of the chapter, it shows aya and her brother.

[skethee2]

Shin_Haruno I hope what u said doesn't happen...but its gonna happen anyways...damnnnn

anyways...dows anyone know how famous Ichigo 100% in Japan
I know there are tonns of manga which have 3 galls liking a single guy....but i wanna to know if it has a huge audience in japan

and I head they are making an anime of it....cant wait

[IkariBattousai]

I don't know, there's just something about Toujo that I don't like.

[skethee2]

I don't know, there's just something about Toujo that I don't like.
:amazed toujo is one of my favourite....i want manaka to choose her
but seems like she is starting to loose him...or him loosing her

[Fuko]

SPOILER!

about the raw chapter that i got, here's a few pages:

[ZODDGUTS]

Damn it took me a week to get to chapter 53. Instead of going in withdrawal waiting for the next chapter of Ichigo to release you should try some similar manga like Open Sesame/Pastel/Gacha Gacha/I's/IO


I really recommend I's it's much better than Ichigo 100% in every way art/story/character development etc. :cool

Ichigo 100% is good but not a series that I consider to be great from what it looks like the manga-ka has some inspiration from the manga-ka of I's/Video Girl Ai/DNA2.

Hmm... Just wondering. Which one between Ichigo and I's have more romance or is more serious?(Wondering which is funnier and which has the least romance... don't care about ecchi).

[ZODDGUTS]

Hmm... Just wondering. Which one between Ichigo and I's have more romance or is more serious?(Wondering which is funnier and which has the least romance... don't care about ecchi).

Well I's is more serous than Ichigo 100% and the romance is more serious too between the main character and the girl he loves Iori. I's has a good balance of Romance and Comedy it's much better balanced than Ichigo 100% and I's doens't feel dragged out like Ichgio 100% I kinda have lost a bit interested in Ichigo 100% because if feels it's been dragged out.

Oh and I's is freaking funny much more than Ichigo 100%. I's has nudity (it shows nipples) while Ichigo 100% doesn't. Overall I's in every category Art/Comedy/Romance/Seriousness sp? is better than Ichigo 100% I recommend checking it out. It's soon going to be published by Viz but if you can't wait you can DL it in IRC.

[darksage78]

A TV series for Ichigo 100% is gonna start this month I think. Also Yanime is going to release the OVA soon. I just hope its going to follow the manga properly.

Personally I'm not sure who Manaka should be with. All I know is its either Tsukasa or Aya. Definitely not Satsuki though.

Yeah, I agree Satsuki isn't for Manaka. But she's so damn cute.. I'd be sad if this ends without Manaka at least having a fling with her in bed.. she wants it badly from him and he's too scared.

There making a anime for it now,I only herd about the OVA but I didnt herd any TV series,Eyeshield 21 is the only Jump title that I know thats goiong to be on TV this Month.

[darksage78]

Yesy is holding a poll to which series they'll sub next after Mai-HiME.
http://www.yesy-fansubs.com/mambo/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1
Yanime is going to sub the OVA. Also Animenewsnetwork has Ichigo 100% listed under TV series.

[skethee2]

ok guys if you really really want SUPER spoilers on Ichigo 100% go to
http://www.manga-ton1x.net/Content/cid=23.html

It has raws from 102 to 151 :amazed

Do not go there if you want to be spoiled

And since I went there...i will jus say this...in terms of Aya...things aren't looking good :sad

[darksage78]

I'm really torn between Aya or Tsukasa. I mean both a equally good in my opinion. Aya shares his dreams and etc. while Tsukasa looks out for Junpei alot. Yeah I've seen and heard of some stuff that's happened in the raw versions.
I've seen the pages where Tsukasa and Junpei go out on a 3 day trip together and he finally kisses her.

[IkariBattousai]

What I like most about Tsukasa is that she isn't as afraid to let her feelings for Manaka be known. She's more honest that way and isn't putting him through as much stress or heartache.

[Fuko]

the first episode is out already. I guess the fan sub is done too by yesy.

[IkariBattousai]

The first OAV is done now too. I'm currently DLing the first episode of the TV series. I'll post my thoughts when it's done.

[killua888]

OMG, how good is Ichigo 100%???!?!? i was like addicted to it......first started reading it a week ago.....RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY FINAL YEAR(high school) HALF YEARLIES!!!!!....omg........it was so hard to choose between ichigo and study.......

anyways, seen both anime series ep1 and OVA...........cant wait for more, but i don't know if its just me but somehow i reckon the drawing in the manga looks better although nishino remains as cute as ever!!!!!

sigh, is yanime the only good scanlators? or are they the only scanlators? why do they have to be so slow>_<......its forced me to read the raws, which i dont understand too well........

anyways, cant wait for your replies

[Manaka]

I am in the same situation as killua888...arrggh. I bet you join this forum just to relieve your frustration

I saw Shin Haruno tread...the spoiler relief me a bit... :smile-big <<and what chapter is that??

as for skethee2 tread - the link given need to see the pages one by one....arrggh. And I dun understand what they talking.. :rtfm

Ichigo 100% is damn addictive. I read a lot of Manga this the first time I get addicted this bad. And I never knew romance manga can be this good.


I just read this chaper this week and slept late b'cos of it...and go to work keep thinking about this manga....

Is there any summary link on all the chapter for this Manga (spoiler)? So I can go to work peacefully. :nerve

[matiao]

read chapter 145 raw for the manaka confession to nishino and also non accidental "KISS" between them

142 contains nishino telling junpei after doing a pull up that she wanted to be his girlfriend again

but chapter 151-152 really screw the gd relationship between them

seems like nishino is losing faith on manaka -_-

and the author makes it seems like the girl meant for manaka is aya at chap 152(aya finally confess her love to manaka @@)

there is this ticket thingy from the fortune teller in the festival held annually which if a couple hav the same number they would be meant to be together

manaka hav no.1508 nishino 0287 and last page of 152 raw show us that aya hav 1508

[skethee2]

manaka is a stupid idiot who doesn't deserve a gf

[IkariBattousai]

manaka is a stupid idiot who doesn't deserve a gf

You may just be on to something there. At least Keitaro remained pretty much faithful to the girl he really wanted to be with.

[Manaka]

Thanks for the info Matio...
how come I still feel mentally torture with this manga.... :yelling

Looks this series going to end soon...I am sure it is going to be sad ending whoever that Junpei choose. :crying
After going round the net on updates for this manga I found a beautiful fanfic...for the ending on this manga..take a look interesting.
Fanfic ending for Ichigo...1 for Aya 2 for Nishino and 1 for Yui ending (http://www.yanime.com/forums/index.php?topic=3745.0)

......*sigh*

[skethee2]

A BIG UPDATE EVERYONE
Chapter 116 to 125 has been scanlated and released
Get it at
http://manga.anime-source.com/manga/index.php

[Manaka]

Yeah!!
And animewaves got the whole volume 14 of to download tru bit-torrent and they are working independently

Alrite animewaves done a quick and good job....yeah hopefully it reach to the latest vol soon.... :party

[killua888]

hahahahahha, how right you are about me Manaka........i did join this forum to vent all my frustration....... :mad

like you, i also read alot of manga and i have also never found my self to be so addicted to one manga.....i mean, its very good but not the best i have read however its just so bloody damn addictive. sigh, i hope i pass all my exams though..............i chose the manga over study lol!!! :notrust

anyways, planning to read raws starting from 126....but then again sometimes i cant be bothered since i cant find a downloadable version, i just read from a site.......which is very annoying

i have also just watched the second ep of anime.........actually quite dissapointing how they left out so many vital parts from the manga but it was good overall......watching it a second time also made me notice how good the drawing in the manga is compared to the anime!!

i'd like to end by saying.........
NISHINO TSUKASA FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!! :laugh

[Tracespeck]

This is one of those manga I hear people talk about all the time but have never read for some reason. I might have to start reading it though based on how addictive you are all saying it is.

[lazyjapanese]

right now the latest chapter is 153 and well i have it (in japanese) wuts going on is so confusing right now

[Kyub]

what's the series about?

[Raptor]

A guy who's a total loser and 3, later 4 and now 5 beautiful girls want his bones. One is very kind and open with him, the other literally trows herself naked at him, the next is very shy and hides her feelings, the other a childhood friend, and the last one a girl who's afraid of boys.

Nice huh? a lot of stuff happens, most of all comedy but also drama.

[JesusFreakDK]

Hmm, I'm interested in this "I's" manga but the IRC site you listed no longer seems to host it. Anywhere else I can find it? (Oh, and I'm enjoying Ichigo 100%, BTW.)

[IkariBattousai]

Hmm, I'm interested in this "I's" manga but the IRC site you listed no longer seems to host it. Anywhere else I can find it? (Oh, and I'm enjoying Ichigo 100%, BTW.)

I picked up the first volume of I''s from Border's the other day. It's alright, but I still like Ichigo better. I think what I like about Ichigo is that Manaka actually has a dream and a goal. While the same may be true about the main character in I''s, there hasn't been any development in that respect yet. As far as art is concerned... it's all a matter of taste. I''s goes for a more realistic look, while Ichigo's art is much more stylized. Whichever floats your boat I guess.

I've read the newly released chapters on Anime-Source and I'm fairly glad that things are working out so well between Manaka and Tsukasa? Anyone else have any opinions (aside from spoilers seen in the raws)?

[lazyjapanese]

i think the manga is almost comming to an end

spoiler

they do it in chapter 154 sides if the characters keep moving up a grade every year in about 2 years they wont be going to school anymore

[MrBradMan]

Well, after watching the 4 tv episode that are out, I ended up reading the manga... all 13 volumes in around a 24 hour period, including 6-7 hours of work where I was away and unable to read.

An indecisive protagonist and mixed feelings all over the place. This manga kept wrenching me back and forth.

I was cheering for Satsuki Kitouji to hook up with the main character. I was sad to find out that she gave up a romantic relationship with Junpei Manaka.

Honestly, Satsuki is my favorite character because of her straight-forward actions and the honesty she has in dealing with her emotions. When I think that she decided to only remain friends with Junpei it annoys me to no end. Maybe she made the right choice in that situation to stay with him forever as a friend, but I think she gave up too soon.

Tsukasa and Aya are cowards. They couldn't own up to their feelings for Junpei and they end up agonizing as much as Junpei does.

I do like their personalities, sweet, gentle, with their own brand of confidence, but the two of them can't settle their feelings. That goes double for Junpei. Stringing that many girls around as love interests causes more heartbreak.

Junpei has needed to make a decision and stick with it. In my opinion, having liked all of the girls equally, he should have just picked the one he felt most comfortable with and kept the rest as friends.

Though, I suppose all the difficulties that occur due to Junpei's indecisiveness is what drew me to this manga, though I suppose there was the fact that I sympathized with the Satsuki character and truly wanted the Junpei character to respond to such open and honest love.

This gets a 10 for drama, 6 for humor, 5 for ecchi, and an 8 for story.

Oh... I'm also starting to lean toward support for the new character, Mukai. Although 2 dopey day dreaming people don't go well together, they don't compliment eachother nor do they make up for the other's deficiencies, Junpei and Mukai seem so cute together, they fit in some odd way. They have a similarity that draws them together yet enough of a difference to make them seem like a couple instead of just friends.

[BlueCheese]

I'm not a big fan of Mukai, i mean Junpei clearly isn't as interested. It's down to Toujou and Nishino.


and judging by the last volume i'd say Nishino, at least for a little while

[Shinigami No1]

Look i dotn want to offend anyone please dont neg rep me but being honest is this anime aimed towards girls i tried to watch the first two eps but the first was painful it seemed to be goin nowhere. strawberry panties!?! it wants to be hentai so bad it hurts. As a bleach, naruto, dragonball/z/gt and various gundam fan who watches stuff like ichi the killer and akira/ghost in a shell but stilll likes a good drama this isnt for me. It slike a soap am i right?? more about love triangles etc than any 'serious' stuff ie people in danger i mean i used to watch tenchi so im not all about the violence lol tenchi was fun but this one wasnt as funny i dotn think. if someone can sway me otherwise an get me to watch the next ep i will rep them ten times...

[Manaka]

I hope it will end not so soon..... :sad

There is still university life for them to start.

[mow]

Mergining this with the similiar Ichigo thread =]

[MrBradMan]

I'm not a big fan of Mukai, i mean Junpei clearly isn't as interested. It's down to Toujou and Nishino.


and judging by the last volume i'd say Nishino, at least for a little while



Yeah, I get what you mean from volume 14.
He just ran off from everything for 3 days to be with her. That should prove to her just how much she means to him, and since he opened up his heart to her by telling her that she'd always have him with her in her heart and memmories, it must have really cemented how they both feel.

The problem with that is that Nishino isn't the kind of person who would be happy if she pushed herself onto Junpei. She wants him to go all out again, like he did when he first asked her out while doing a push up.

Not to mention Junpei seems to think that she's more interested in that pastry chef, and he thinks she sees their relationship as lost. Truthfully, if she just openly kissed him, Junpei would get back together with her, but I think he believes it's a lost cause.

Plus there's still Toujou. She is closest to Junpei's heart in my opinion. She shares his passion for movies. They have a relationship of strong trust, something that nobody seems to be able to wedge in between.

I still haven't counted Satsuki Kitaouji out yet. If Junpei got dumped by every other girl he liked, she'd be right there picking up the pieces and jumping at the chance to be his one and only.

I believe that Satsuki only gave up on becoming Junpei's girlfriend so that she could always be with him. She realised that she couldn't be his #1 girl, so she settled for the best friend category, in order to always be able to be with him. I don't know about you but that seems like love to me.

I'm also leaning toward Mukai because Junpei is very relaxed around her. With all the other girls (except Satsuki), he's spacey pervert with a knack for getting into trouble.

Also, Mukai is nearly a second rate Toujou. She shares Junpei's love of movies and cinematics. She's so accidentally open with Junpei, something that Toujou isn't, and although Toujou shares her most intimate feelings with Junpei through her person novel, she isn't open with him about her feelings for him. It's as if she thinks her whole relationship with Junpei will crash and burn and turn to nothingness if she let him in on her emotions.

Anyway I think Mukai has a good chance of getting him. He knows how she feels about him, he's comfortable with her, so much so that he personally showed his movie to her, and she even asked to to wait for her to confess properly. I think there's a serious contender in the race for his heart.

Still I wonder how it will all work out. Nishino is supposed to go to France to study abroad.

Toujou wants to go to the same university as Junpei to make movies together,
but seems to be falling for the "predictions" that Amachi made to her about
Junpei and Mukai.

Satsuki's dropped out of the race, but seems to me if a situation arose for her to take, she wouldn't hesitate. Her future is clouded too.

Mukai can capitalize on her closeness to him, but is limited to the time she has with him at cram school. Once the college exams are over, they'll have alot of distance.

As I see it, Nishino would have to give up her plans to study abroad in order to claim Junpei for herself.
Toujou would have no problems if she just told him how she felt. If they both manage to get in the same university, she'd definitely have the advantage.
Mukai... assuming she persued him, going to the same university or living in the same area, she has a shot if the first two drop out of the running.
Satsuki: everyone else would have to dump him.

Oh and I did forget... there's the trip they're taking to create the 3rd film. I'm expecting Junpei to get into precarious situations with every single female there. Could be the critical turning point to see who starts becoming serious about.

[BlueCheese]

Not to mention Junpei seems to think that she's more interested in that pastry chef, and he thinks she sees their relationship as lost. Truthfully, if she just openly kissed him, Junpei would get back together with her, but I think he believes it's a lost cause.


I think though she was a lot more open in the last volume than she has been before. She is doing a lot more than Toujou. I might be wrong but i really don't think Mukai has a chance. The original 3 were all set in his heart too much.

Whether Satsuki comes back in to the picture it remains to be seen. But for the next volume at least i'm sticking with Nishino. I don't think she will go to France, she will realise that she left him before and not want to do it again.

You have a point there about Nishino. Judging from the last chapters of Volume 14, she had the most sway over Junpei. Though I'm sure he would have done the same should Toujou have asked him.

I was reading some of the raws over and manga ton1x (okay I was looking at them, can't read japanese kanji) and Volume 15 mixes things up a bit when they go on the summer filming trip. It gets intense between Toujou and Junpei, there's some more bonding between him and Mukai Kozue, Satsuki and him seem to have an intimate chat, and he overhears a conversation in the hot spring between all the girls.

I just now got to the chapter where Junpei returns home after the trip. He was doing a lot of thinking about the girls on the trip, and now he's come home only to find Nishino waiting for him in his room, with Yui.

Looks like Junpei is going to get rocked back the other way again. He looked like he was swaying well toward Toujou for a minute there. I'll update later when I get a chance.

If you want to check out the raws yourself, click on the Ton1x banner in my sig.

[BlueCheese]

Toujou kinda did when she said she wanted to make movies with him, and if you remember he was kinda obsessed with Toujou for a while.

[MrBradMan]

Toujou kinda did when she said she wanted to make movies with him, and if you remember he was kinda obsessed with Toujou for a while.


Actually, you're right, in fact, that was what lead to the break up with Nishino in the first place. Its funny, the two of them have no idea the amount of sway they have over each other. If one confessed to the other, that might actually break up any chance for the other girls... although...

Yeah... Looks like during the filming trip, Toujou says something to Junpei... which gets recorded on film of course, but when I see the characters reactions to her statement, it seems as if she revealed how much she liked him.

Then, when he returns home Nishino appears and all of a sudden she's got the largest amount of his attention. She goes as far as to invite him to her house, her bedroom, and even hides him from her mom....

Looks like Nishino wants to bag him before she sets off for France, or perhaps to forget about France and pastries and make Junpei her priority.

I'm somewhat wary of Nishino though. Of all of the girls, it seems like she was the one who just wanted to distance herself from him in order to keep from getting hurt.

Toujou believed she couldn't get closer to Junpei because he was dating Nishino, but she poured her heart into making movies and continuing the novel Jupei loved reading just to have a special bond with him.

Satsuki decided that she loved him so much that nothing else mattered to her, even if he chose someone else, she wanted to be his first and be able to stay by him forever.

Even Kozue has found out that other girls like Junpei and that he shares some of those feelings, and though it seems to have shaken her a bit, she seems like she wont give up... well she may after having witnessed an exchange between Junpei and Nishino at the Festival.

I dunno, I think I just have something personal against Nishino, especially since she was the one who broke up with Junpei. Sure I can understand that it was Junpei's fault for being indecisive and unable to sort his feelings. Even though he went through a lot of grief for her sake, Nishino should have kept her resolve and stayed uninvolved with Junpei on a romantic level, and she should had been straight-forward about staying in a platonic relationship.

I feel really bad for Kozue though. Here he's the only guy she really gets along with, a guy who shares interests with her, who gets along really well with her, and whom he is comfortable around, but he seems to not even consider her as a romantic option. The two of them would be great as a couple, but the other girls seem to be the wall in between them.

Also, I've always favored Satsuki. She blunt, strong, and bold. She's put her all into loving Junpei. She can't live without him, and all she wants is a small return on her feelings. How could a man reject such open and strong love? She even went back on her promise to remain best friends only. It's tragic.

At this point, I think it'll take Nishino going to France and not keeping in touch with Junpei in order for any of the other girls to have a shot at him.

I think Toujou needs to make it clear to Junpei that no matter what happens in the future, she will always team up with him to create wonderful movies and continue to write her personal novel for him and him alone. I think that would clear up his indecisiveness with her.

That only leaves Satsuki and Kozue. Frankly, I think if Kozue has truly fallen for Junpei, she should put up a fight for him. She has such trouble with other guys anyway, she may miss out on her chance for love for many years if she doesn't act now.
I have no idea what Satsuki could do to make Junpei love her. She done everything humanly possible to get him. She's poured her heart, soul, mind, and body out to him, and still he rejects her love, perhaps because he's afraid of losing everyone else. The only thing left for her seems to be an ultimatum, love only her, or lose her forever.

Junpei is a one woman type of guy. Problem is he's faced with the love of more than one woman. So he weighs each against the other trying to find which one his heart truly desires. So far it's only ended in hurt feelings all around.
If he likes these girls so much, he should quit playing with their hearts and choose one. In fact, if it were me, I might choose one and see if I could have Satsuki on the side... that is to say I'd let her know that if things didn't work out with girl #1, that I'd run to her in a heartbeat.

Well, they're not even out of high school yet. They have the rest of their lives to figure out who's right for them.

[BlueCheese]

Indeed but it didn't do Satsuki much good.

I haven't read the raws so I can't comment on them. Just hoping there will be another release soon

[MrBradMan]

bleh... the raws are pretty insightful even if you can't read kanji. Manga waves or anime waves, whatever they call themselves, seems to be on top of the newest scanslations, since they're on volume 14 and working on 15. Yanime is still on 13...

Still, I just have something against that Nishino. Almost seems like she only wants Junpei because other girls want him. She also seems to have an unfair advantage over the other girls.

Since Kitaouji and Mukai are the underdogs I'm rooting for them to make a comeback. Junpei is gonna have a hell of a time when this all blows up in his face.

Yeah that maybe so but it would just irritate me reading it but not having a clue what their saying. It's been a while since anime waves had a release and the raw has been out ages so hopefully we will get the next volume pretty soon.

I dunno about that, admittadly before the last volume she didn't really seem that interested, after all when Junpei asked her out at the start he didn't really like her. But recently she has been genuinly interested in him. I don't think you go on a three day break with someone you don't like.

I'm really not a big fan of Mukai, she has come too late in the story for my liking. Kitaouji is kinda cool, but come on he can't keep 4 girls interested so for me it is down to Toujou and Nishino

[MrBradMan]

Yeah that maybe so but it would just irritate me reading it but not having a clue what their saying. It's been a while since anime waves had a release and the raw has been out ages so hopefully we will get the next volume pretty soon.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I know that they're having these intense conversations, but being unable to know what they said is troublesome, if not horribly annoying.

Hmm... seems to me that once he got a good look at her he was hooked. Though possibly it was because he managed to hook up with the hottest girl in his school where everyone else failed. Not to mention she was going to dump him that time she visited him at the beginning of summer break.

But despite the fact that Toujou has had an unbreakable bond with him, everytime Nishino shows up, he drops everything to help and support her.

Also I think she only had her interest rekindled when she saw what she was missing out on. She saw him interacting with all these other girls and then she took a look at her own life and felt empty. Though I must say, Junpei has a knack for saying just the right thing to make those girls feel good about themselves, I envy that ability.

Yeah, Toujou and Junpei seem to be tied together by something no one can shake... though even from just the scanslated chapters, looks as if Nishino has wedged herself firmly between them. If for some reason Toujou wavers even a little bit, she'll have lost to Nishino.

Bleh... Mukai's a great character. I see a lot of Junpei in her, that's why I can identify with her character so much, and she has the lost puppy quality.

But nothing takes the cake like Satsuki. Satsuki can prevail through endurance alone. The other girls will feel betrayed by his inability to commit unless they have a strong will to push through any barrier to obtain his love. The only person I see who definitely has that is Satsuki. Toujou might sort of have that, she seems to have passed through a few phases of wavering determination and realised her feelings for Junpei. I do see circumstances becoming unfavorable for her to be able to stay by his side though, and that's where Satsuki will have the advantage. Satsuki can outwait them all.

[BlueCheese]

Mukai is indeed very similar to Junpei, and shares a genuine interest in films. If she hadnt come along so late and the others hadn't already gotten Junpei's interest then i think she would have every chance. But she needs to be more positive and do more to try and get Junpei's attention.

Toujou will always be close to Junpei, they share a lot of memorable moments together that Junpei doesn't share with anyone else, things like the book that noone else has read. But i see two problems with her. Firstly after all this time she hasn't actually told Junpei how she feels, setting him up with Mukai didn't do her any favours either. Secondly she has Amachi who is interested. He is doing everything he can to make sure that they don't end up together. As popular as Nishino is noone else really manages to pull her away from Junpei.

Very true but she makes a great friend. She will stay with him no matter what and they always can have fun together.

[MrBradMan]

I was going over the raws again.... I came to some conclusions

Chapter 254 has Junpei landing straight at the door to Tsukasa's house. He's had a major falling out with all the other characters.

Toujou expressed some major feelings during the filming trip. Then she gets into some more misunderstandings with Junpei when they return to school. The kicker for her is when she sees Tsukasa and Junpei holding hands at the festival.

The falling out between Toujou and Junpei caused a chain reaction. He started acting weird while searching for Toujou at the cram school and ended up brushing off Mukai. Mukai shows up at the festival in time to see the explosive fall out between Junpei and Toujou over Tsukasa, and sends Mukai into tears.

Satsuki was trying to get back into the role of girlfriend, but failed twice trying to seduce him with her body. She didn't seem to give up until she witnessed a moment between Toujou and Junpei where they seemed to have completely parted ways.
Satsuki then comforts Toujou with some food she bought.

Nishino is closest to him now. They shared many delicate moments after he returned from the movie filming trip. She got close to him, he gave her an emotional embrace and more than one kiss, and even confessed her love for him while doing a pull up in a park. After losing everything else, he ends up at her doorstep, and the date they wanted back in middle school happens again. She feeds him a nice meal, he leans to kiss her but startled she hastily dodges him. He takes a bath then enters her room. She removes the evidence of his visit by taking his shoes up to her room.
After some deep and moving conversation, He embraces her from behind. She turns, and tells him something to the effect that she's ready for everything. He begins to unbutton her pajama shirt. -- Her mom returns home, and Tsukasa hides Junpei under a blanket. They share a deep kiss... then we are left to assuptions...

I think all is lost for the rest of the girls. He seems to have nothing left to go back to, only the love and warmth of Nishino remains for him. Maybe Yui and Satsuki can talk some sense into him before he abandons everything he held dear to him.

[BlueCheese]

As tempting as that spoiler button is, i think i'm gonna hold out for the AnimeWaves release. Hopefully it won't be too long

[MrBradMan]

LoL yeah... I drove myself crazy for a few hours trying to think up what saying in those raws...

I'll just say that Nishino seems to have far more influence on Junpei than I'd have thought, and that goes for all the chapters.

I wondering how long the author is going to be able to string us along. Seems like he's moving to a climax by the time they graduate, but this writer is pretty sneaky about giving the characters multiple chances to go every which way.

On a side note, the anime is definitely not worth watching if you've read the manga. I think the first 4 episodes were alright, but they're so condensed that you loose out on most of the intricate parts of the story.

Comparably, Naruto seems to have a good pace established, where the Anime actually fills in parts you might not see in the manga, and the fight scenes are more detailed where as in Ichigo 100% anime, you lose a good amount of the story, though at least they kept the major important details intact.

I do wish Junpei had gone for the girls that were more likely to stick with him though. There's plenty of room for problems to have come up if he had secretly dated Satsuki.

Also, I don't know where they're going with Yui. They made a big deal in those few chapters where she ran away about being recognized as an adult by Junpei. Junpei has no interest in her other than as a close friend, and it seems like they were unsuccessfully insinuate that they loved eachother.

Although, I'm glad she'll be able to stick around him no matter what other troubles Junpei will be faced with. Having that kind of support can keep the main character grounded through most hardships.

Hmm... maybe they'll put in a few chapters where the female characters pull out everything on the line in order to win Junpei over. Sort of an emotional showdown.

[BlueCheese]

Yeah the anime is absolutely terrible. After four episodes there on chapter 25. Satsuki just confessed after them barely knowing each other it seemed.

I think Yui isn't really ever supposed to compete in the same way the others do. Hence they did the running away thing so that she wasn't completely forgotten.

I can't really see how this is gonna continue for too much longer. Can't really convincingly string so many girls along. Perhaps they will drop out one at a time like Satsuki did.

[MrBradMan]

Personally, I'd rather not see them drop out one at a time. Seems to emotional and heartbreaking to me, though that may be what the author is going for.

What I'd like to see would be a somewhat happier ending. After deciding on one girl, I'd like to see Junpei take each one of the other girls aside and tell them how he really feels about them.

Supposing he picks Nishino Tsukasa (which I'm almost definitely sure he'll do at this point), then he decides to end the confusion with the rest of the girls.

For Toujou, he'd take her to the roof of the High School. He'd tell her how from the first time he saw her drop out of the sky and glimpsed her strawberry panties that he fell in love with her. He tell her how much her writing has changed his life and that it is his life's work to see that all her writing is realised into movies for people to enjoy. He'd let her know that it was unfair for her to live her life for him, but that he always wants to share her dream as movie making partners.

With Satsuki, he'd let her know just how precious she is to him, that he couldn't live his life without the fun and joy that she brings him, so even if they aren't lovers, he always wants to be her best friend and enjoy more and more memmories with her.

No other girl has such a big impact with him, his relationship with Yui was already resolved as being on her side to support her always. Mukai Kozue... he should just be upfront, tell her that he loves talking about movies with her and being so casual with her, but that it would never go farther than friendship, and then reassure her that she'll find a wonderful guy someday.

See, a tremendous amount of resolution is a satisfying way to end things. So long as a story ties up all the loose ends, it becomes satisfying even if it ends. Other anime and manga stories usually leave everyone guessing about possible future events, in case the author wants to make a sequal later on, but I feel that leaves fans unfulfilled.

[BlueCheese]

The whole manga is based on his indecision and inability to choose between the girls. So i really doubt after all this time of indecision he is suddenly just gonna choose one of them.

I'm not so keen on your ending because i just think it would be too sudden. All the indecision that he's had and then he suddenly makes a choice.

The only sad ending possible really is for him to just move on and leave all the girls. I think this is a possible ending but highly unlikely.

We still don't know how much longer it is gonna go on for, but he does now seem to be moving towards Nishino. But i'm expecting Toujou to make a comeback fairly soon, I think he will be with each of the girls for a while and then will finally make up his mind. At the moment it's gonna be Nishino, Toujou's turn will come later.

Oh and did you see the 5th episode of the anime? The pace their going at it's gonna be pretty short. They have done such a terrible conversion it's unbelievable

[MrBradMan]

I get what you're saying, but honestly I don't what kind of comeback Toujou can make. I can't really say for she won't make a comeback, especially since I can't read the raws so I don't really know what the characters are talking about or thinking, but Nishino has a freaking powerful grip over Junpei.

Nishino definitely captures Junpei's full attention when she's around. Seems like it only truly came about after they broke up that she had such sway over him. I think losing her the first time really hit him hard, which is why she has such a hold on him emotionally.

Yeah, I watched the 5th episode of the anime.... I suppose I'd be into it if I hadn't read the manga. However, they skipped so much integral plot, emotion, character development, they've really lost out on how much this anime draws people into it.

That part where everyone shows up at Junpei's house was complete messed up. His house is too big, Yui had no reason to be there, Nishino didn't need that soccer player's help to find Junpei's house, and all the women weren't supposed to fall down the stairs.
Then they brought the teacher with them on the film trip, and didn't seem to have a real reason to be on the trip.

They've missed all the reasons why Ichigo 100% is good/addictive, and chose to go put everything into one season of episodes. It's a such a waste, I thought they'd put the kind of effort into it that Ai Yori Aoshi has, but it's been found extremely lacking.

On a side note, I think I'd like to see more stories involving the minor characters to mix things up. I actually enjoyed the part where Junpei went to help Yui when she ran away. I thought it was pointless for them to try to make it look more like a romance, but I enjoyed seeing the bond between the two.

I'm really looking forward to a translated volume 15 too. It has the film trip they take for the 3rd film, and promises to have a great plot, and tons of mixed emotions. I just wonder how long it will take to translate... Anime Waves put out the last volume some time last month, seems like they didn't take to long to translate from chapter to chapter in the past, but translating an entire volume seems to make the time between pass very slowly.

[BlueCheese]

Can't really complain, I mean I just appreciate the fact that they are doing it at all.

I think the problem with Toujou is that Junpei doesn't really know where he stands. They seem to get little time together as Amachi tries to be with her all the time. Plus she asked Junpei out for someone else. If she was a bit more definate i'm sure she would get his full attention.

Yeah the Yui part was ok, and it was a nice change. I do wonder if they did it so they didn't forget about Yui altogether though. But i guess it did sort some stuff out between them. Shes now a definate friend and nothing more.

The anime well, they have really messed it up. The meeting at Junpei's house was just not good at all. The character development is just terrible compared to the manga. I will continue watching it, but if i hadn't read the manga i wouldn't bother.

Ai Yori Aoshi is way better than the anime. But had they done a decent convertion I think Ichigo would be much better than Ai Yori Aoshi. It's a shame really.

Next volume sounds good. I look forward to it.

[MrBradMan]

Volume 14 and 15 are out courtesy of Yanime.

[BlueCheese]

Spoiler from volume 15


Well with hardly any Nishino this volume, it seems that Toujou and Satsuki are both back in the game. Although from the little bit we did see of Nishino it seems that she is probably still the favourite.

He was basically ready and willing with Satsuki with her little test. Now we have Toujou confessing, atleast thats what it looks like.

But we also have the date with Nishino to come so we shall have to wait and see.

I feel that Mukai is now totally out of it. I don't see how she is gonna comeback now.

Amachi is starting to lose his grip on Toujou i feel. Hopefully she will flat out reject him soon.


There must be other Ichigo fans other than us two lol. Why isn't anyone else posting?

[MrBradMan]

I found some Ichigo 100% fans on another site. Haha, and one gave me spoilers all the way up to chapter 154 =P

Well I don't think Satsuki really made a "come back" per se. More likely, she's just going back to the kind of relationship that she had with him before she decided to just be friends. The reality of it is that the two of them have a close bond, and when they decided to be "just friends" they put up a wall between themselves. It was hard enough when Satsuki was moved to a different class keeping them from talking everyday, but now things have changed.

You're right about Mukai Kozue, she's pretty much been dealt completely out of the picture, despite the fact she still harbours feeling for Manaka.

God, wasn't this chapter great though? It was hilarious how Chinami fell for Komiyama, and when Jupei got stuck in the hot springs, I nearly died laughing.

I must say though, the more I see Mukai, the worse I feel about her situation. She can't seem to cut a break with Junpei, everything always turns out badly for her.

I feel sad for Satsuki though. I'm glad she'll keep on track with her feelings no matter what happens, and she'll always be a part of Manaka's life, but I'm sad she'll probably never get him the way things are going.

If you're missing Nishino in v15, don't worry, she's back in a big way in the next volume.

Oh and as always the tempting spoiler from unseen, non-translated raws hehe.
The next chapter picks up right where the last one left off, they're in her bedroom discussing the confession scene, and Toujou wants to actually confess to him but falls short of it.
Anyway, the time comes for the scene and everyone is noticing something wierd between Toujou and Manaka. Manaka tsays something like "I believe in you" and she does the confession scene so convincingly (because it really is how she feels) that it blows everyone's mind, Especially Manaka

So then the next chapter he runs around the place all confused about his feelings because of that scene.

Then he returns home to find Yui and Tsukasa waiting for him at his house. Yui leaves the two alone for a bit to get some sparks going. Tsukasa flirts with him, spills her drink on herself, and changes into some of Junpei's clothes. Then Satsuki and Toujou show up. They end up going to the park to play as Yui suggests.

They try to play hide and seek, but Toujou trips, falls, and tears her shirt. Manaka sits with Toujou and Satsuki for a minute. He's convinced to go down to the lake on a boat with Satsuki, she leaves for a minute and he meets up with Tsukasa, who wants to get on a rowboat with him.

An angry Satsuki sees this, and rams their boat with a paddle boat, flinging Nishino into Junpei's arms. Just as the situation gets tense, Yui rams another paddle boat into Satsuki.

In the end, they all get on a big slide, all the girls ram into Junpei in on positions and the fall off the slide in the wrong place. Manaka repositions himself so that the girls land on him.

Junpei returns to school, discovers that for the festival there's going to be a love sanctuary test or something like that decides on love matches for people at the festival. Each girl is interested in figuring if she is matchable with Junpei.

Junpei is cleaning out the club room, when a bunch of stuff traps him. Satsuki hears the problem and tries to free him, unsuccessfully. Just as she is about to run for help, she realizes he's in no position to resist her. She tries to seduce him. She ends up giving him a deep passionate kiss, blushes and then runs away. He gets out only to find Tsukasa admiring the love sanctuary poster in the front of the school.

Manaka goes on a date with Tsukasa to the aquarium. She ends up becoming very disturbed after noticing all the couples there. He grabs her hand to get her attention and she goes sprinting out. He chases her down to a park, where she is waiting for him under the pull up bar. She confesses that she still loves him while doing a pull up. but she falls on her ass. He gives her a ticket to the school festival.

Meanwhile, Toujou refuses to go to the festival with Amachi.
Nishino gets a deep embrace and kiss at night in the park from Manaka.
Satsuki tries to seduce Junpei in an alley.
Mukai plans to confess to Junpei at the festival.
Sotomura sees Nishino and Junpei almost kiss while Junpei's doing film editing.
Nishino accidentally sees the confession scene, and gets worried.
The film is a rousing success.
Nishino and Junpei go out during the festival, and are seen by everyone.
Nishino runs off after the festival, and is sad.
Junpei goes to her house later that night.
They end up nearly kissing, but Nishino says the fire is out.

right now, manaka is in his third year and his relationship with tsusaka is starting to grow again...one day tsusaka confessed to him with the monkey bar technique manaka used when he confessed to her...then at the school festival toujou saw manaka and tsusaka holding hands...then later on toujou confessed to manaka but been rejected...he told her hes with tsukasa now...the next year manaka is in a different class then toujou, his relationship with tsusaka is steady. But one day toujou got a mail from a movie production company saying they want to meet toujou and manaka for their great work in the festival...i think the story is even going to be better after toujou meet manaka again
In chapter 152, Mukai Kozue and her friend from the cram school witness the exchange between Junpei, Tsukasas, and Toujou. Mukai tears up and says something... what's she saying????

Also in chapter 153, Toujou and Junpei have a talk at the doorway to their club room. I'm guessing that's where he tells her he's with going out with Tsukasa again. Satsuki sees the entire scene and has a talk with Toujou. What are they talking about?

Lastly in 153, Junpei goes to Tsukasa's house. But why does he go there in the first place? She seems to ask him to stay over to finish what they started on her last birthday. When they're in her bedroom, she faces away from him and says something, then he goes and embraces her from behind. What're they talking about??
Oh, and her mom interrupts them and she hides him under her blanket, then they talk about something. I'm really curious about that, mostly because I can't tell if they do anything more, they just show Junpei walking away in the middle of the night.
Q1: well she didnt knows that manaka has a girlfriend, and she was going to confess to him at the festival, i guess thats the reason she cried

Q2: Satsuki just told Toujou that she was very brave to confessed to manaka and she has changed after meeting manaka and stuff....

Q3: because tsukasa was sad when she was at the festival, thats why manaka ran to her house to tell her he had told Toujou about their relationship. well in the bedroom when Tsukasa was wearing pajamas manaka was surprised and tsukasa was saying her body wasnt as good as Toujou and Satsuki, then Manaka hugged her and saying its not. oh and when they were about to kiss tsukasa said "the fire is gone" so they didnt kiss and manaka went home...

Yeah it's quite hectic. Can't wait till the next volume comes out.

[BlueCheese]

I am still determined enough to stay away from spoilers. It just wouldn't be as fun reading it if i knew what would happen.


When i said Satsuki's back I meant that before she had given up, now at least she has a chance. I don't think she is too far behind Toujou but that's only cos he doesn't know how Toujou feels, which it looks like is about to change.

Poor Mukai she thought Toujou was gonna help her out. Oh well she had to find out eventually.

I don't doubt that Nishino will be back, the little glimpse they gave us of the date looks like she will have him all to herself once again. None of the other girls seem to be able to do that for very long.

So we have had one person drop out effectively and one come back into the picture. I really thought Satsuki's chances were over and the manga was coming to an end. Oh well.

Oh and the Chinami thing was great lol. Komiyama finally convinced a girl to like him. I wonder how long it will last lol


There is an Ichigo fan club so I can't believe there is no one else on this forum interested. Stop reading and start posting!!!

[MrBradMan]

I see that you're determined to be surprised and have that joyful feeling when a freshly translated volume comes out. I myself just love being able to read the dialogue word for word myself when it arrives.

Of course, that doesn't mean I wont put the tempting spoilers up, they're fun to tease people with haha =D

Yeah, Satsuki's proven that both of them have a chemistry that wont be denied, in fact you'll be surprised when the next volume comes out just how good it is (okay maybe you wont be surprised, but it sounds more grandios that way).
I do think Satsuki's going about it all wrong though. Her attempts to get him have all been just physical attacks in public places. She needs to rethink her strategy. Since he's usually busy at work or at the cram school, she needs to figure out how to get time with him at his house, work her way into the family. If she was extra friendly with him at the dinner table in front of his parents, I think they'd be overjoyed that a girl was that interested in him. She has so much in common with him, and they get along so well, she's only at a disadvantage when the other girls get to spend more time with him.

All I can say for poor Mukai is that her situation wont improve.... Ugh, I feel so badly for her, she finally gets used to being around a guy, and her "true self" appears, and she ends up falling for a guy that's already has too many admirers. Wonder if she'll ever confront him.


Toujou.... Toujou... the story with her gets exciting in the next volume. Hell where its at now is great. It's like when she's acting, she can truly be herself, and let out all those emotions she keeps bottled up.

Nishino... I can't really say anything because she takes up so much of the next chapter. Where it stands right now, seems like noone can top her connection to Manaka. Well... that is since none of the other girls seems to be able to take the initiative... except Satsuki who seems to just be missing a little something to push his heart completely to her.
But yeah, I'm hoping for something big to intervene between the two of them.... perhaps her studies in France, or that master pastry chef she's working under.

Amachi was... completely outclassed. Completely. He had the extravagant mansion, the expensive limo, the private rotunburo, everything money can do to sway a girl's opinion. Simple and poor Manaka Junpei had all the attention the whole time. Talent, passion, and a kind heart are a combination seemingly unbeatable.

I give the relationship Komiyama and Chinami have... a few weeks. I don't actually know how it turns out, because I can't actually read the raws I've seen, so I really have no clue. However... Chinami is the selfish type... even when it came to Manaka who she was interested in despite his lack of money and or care to shower her with gifts/attention, she was really only looking out for herself. Komiyama doesn't seem like the kind of guy that could hold down a relationship with such a high maintenance girl.

I haven't seen much of that soccer player who used to hang around so much. I wonder what he's up to.

Oh and Misuzu.... she's funny, I believe she'd be really interested in Junpei if he was a more decisive kind of guy. She seems to only dislike him because he can't sort out his feelings. I think she really respects him and his work, not to mention how he seems to draw out the best ability in the people around him. I imagine when he graduates, he'll tell her that he believes in her ability to keep the film club going strong and making movies that people will love and that he can be proud of.
I think her role in the story becomes important in the next volume as she deals out advice to her sempais. She's level headed, and seems to care about all her clubmates a lot.

oh and.....

[BlueCheese]

I am sure some people are reading your spoilers (even if there not posting) but I don't care how good you tell me the next chapter is. Unless i can suddenly read Japanese (which isn't very likely) I am gonna stay away from those raw's.

anyway in reply to the translated spoiler


Wow you really have though Satsuki's situation through. I must say i hadn't really given much thought to tactics. Your tactic doesn't exactly sound like the sort of thing Satsuki would do, and we have hardly met the parents have we? I don't think she has tons in common necesarily, they are just always on the same wavelength. Always having fun.

With the time thing, it used to be that she got the most time with him but it still didn't do her any good. I'm glad shes not given up though, plus shes making progress. She also has that sort of alliance with Amachi.

Things are gonna be awkward as hell with Mukai now, i wonder how he will deal with that one.

Toujou finally getting confident. She's gonna be hard to resist now he knows how she feels. He always used the excuse that he wasn't sure how she felt. If it wasn't for that three day break with Nishino she'd be favourite by a mile.

Speaking of Nishino, you don't seem to like her. Which is cool, i'm liking her more and more as it's going on. I think Nishino is now pretty committed to Junpei so I don't think anything will come between them anytime soon. Perhaps they will get really close and then she will break his heart by going to France.

Amachi may have money but Junpei has similar interests and genuine memories with Toujou. Junpei will always be ahead of him, because they have been friends for so long now.

Komiyama and Chinami, well lol he's gonna mess it up soon. I can't stand Chinami so shes gonna ask for too much or realise he isn't that great.

The soccer guy (i forget his name) has never really been a main character. He was useful at the start but not really needed any more.

Misuzu is ok but she's a bit annoying. A bit too bossy for my liking


Do we need to keep putting spoiler tags for the translated chapters?

[MrBradMan]

Okay no more spoiler tags for translated chapters.

Yeah, I've given a lot of thought to Satsuki, I dunno, I think that kind of fierce and unwavering love deserves to be acknowledged and returned. It's not like he doesn't know how she feels, and it's not like he doesn't feel a strong bond and love for her. He just seems to be holding back for one of the two he was interested in first. He'll be sorry if she ever leaves, in fact he really didn't realise how important to him she was until that chapter where she thought she was moving.

Anyway she is definitely the kind of person who could just drop by his house all the time and get in good with the in-laws. Heck she's all over him at school and everywhere else, she doesn't care who sees or knows, she just wants to love him with everything she's got. She just really hasn't thought out the best way to go about it, athough if it was anyone else, I don't think they could resist her advances.

Things with Mukai wont be so awkward in my opinion. Junpei really doesn't see her the way he sees the other three. He's really casual with Satsuki until she pours on the aggressive sexual advances. He's always akward with Nishino and Toujou; flushed red face and always second guessing his actions. Maybe if Mukai had the kind of daring that Satsuki has, she might have had a chance, but I think she's not even in the running at this point.

Yeah, I don't like Nishino. Sure she's cute, but she really doesn't have anything in common with our protagonist. She sees all the great things about Junpei, and her heart yearns to have that to herself. However, when she sees him bestowing his kindness and caring to other people other than her, she becomes jealous and angry that he shares that with someone other than her, then she distances herself.

It's basically self defeating behavior. She's looking for him to in essence pick her over the other girls, but she puts her self at a disadvantage by distancing herself from him when he becomes indecisive, which pushes him away from her and toward the other girls.

Oh and Toujou.... yeah well she's a major issue in the next volume even with the huge part that Nishino plays in the next volume. It's going to be a tug of war in his heart. Though as far as translated parts go, I don't think he actually really knows how she feels toward him, or rather he'll try to convince himself that she doesn't feel the way he wants her to feel for him. Again, that's just opinion.

I dunno why they threw Chinami into the story in the first place. Other than just adding another person into the club and putting in another cutesy girl for the guys to oggle, she serves no point to the main plot. If you ask me Komiyama could do better (personality wise, not in the good looks dept).

The soccer guy's gonna make an appearance, I'm sure of it! Though... I actually haven't seen him anywhere. As long as Manaka is with Nishino, he'll show up to try and steal her away, which is always funny, because she isn't interested in people's looks, but rather the quality of the person. I suppose that's the only quality I really like about her - there really isn't anything shallow about her.

Misuzu annoying? Nah... As Shikamaru's father says, a woman will show you her good side. She's the kind of person you can trust with your secrets. She's the kind of person who wants people to bring out the best of their ability. Yeah, she's a bit harsh, but she's like a diamond, once taken out of the ground and polished, she shines brilliantly. I wouldn't date her myself, but I'm sure someone will find good quality in her.

Haha, that Amachi will never win, though I almost wish he would. Toujou would fall for him or at least get stuck with him, Nishino will go to France, Mukai will be useless, and Satsuki, still being around will have no obstacle other than the meddlesome Yui to keep her from becoming his girlfriend, then maybe he'll forget about the other girls and focus on the one that loves him most. A perfect win.

However, all the rivals that Manaka has come across seem to be unable to get past him. Soccer guy never could get Nishino; even Amachi who pulled out all the stops was unable to change Toujou's heart; an entire school's worth of guys couldn't pry Satsuki away from Manaka.

I favor Satsuki, because even in the face of know that all these other girls have a bond with Manaka and he likes them as much as he likes her, she doesn't give up. She pushes through. Nishino knew he liked Toujou, then sorta gave up on him by going to Oumi, then she almost definitely gave up on him that day she came to have a last date with him, then she definitely gave up that christmas in her room. The she goes after him again.... she's as bad as Junpei at this indecisivenes.
Toujou.... she always liked him no matter the circumstance. No matter how much she hurt because of him, she kept it all bottled inside. She always shies away from him, and she can't grab hold of his heart that way. Plus her timing is always bad.
Mukai.... uh, the slightest thing happening wrecks her dream of being together with him. She can't compete with the other girls should she continue that way.

Oh btw, the last raw spoiler was a fake, I put every raw spoiler into the one before that.

but this raw spoiler isn't fake
I hear that in ch155 Toujou makes a comeback. in 154, Manaka leaves Nishino's house without actually doing anything to her. So apparently in 155 Toujou and Manaka patch things up so to speak. She had previously confessed to him, and he told her he was with Nishino. All I've heard though, is that the spark between the two comes back

[BlueCheese]

Satsuki is at least definate. Seems like the only decisive person in the entire manga lol. I wonder if she will still go after him if he picks someone else. Shes the sort of person who everyone would love to be friends with, shes just a lot of fun.


Maybe if Mukai had the kind of daring that Satsuki has


Mukai, daring? Nooooooooo never gonna happen. Her one advantage is her genuine itnerest in films. He was impressed when she recommended him a film. She needs to be more casual and confident. Basically not get so nervous and just at least be a decent friend.

I can see why you don't like Nishino, but I think she has changed now and she really values Junpei now. Plus at no point has she really been that interested in anyone else. Even when they didn't really know each other she stuck by him. I think now shes determined to be with him shes gonna be tough to beat.

Now Toujou is really trying with Junpei she's gonna be tough to reject, lets face it she is the original girl that Junpei falls for. Now he is sure of her feelings he hasn't got an excuse.

Chinami is exactly the type of person i can't stand. Too demanding for my liking. Without her looks she'd be very unpopular. Komiyama could definately do better (but when does he care about anything other than looks)


I wouldn't date her myself, but I'm sure someone will find good quality in her.

lol which one would you date then?


Haha, that Amachi will never win, though I almost wish he would. Toujou would fall for him or at least get stuck with him


never gonna happen


Nishino will go to France


Perhaps but i don't think she will make the same mistake twice.


Mukai will be useless


I laughed so much when i read this, so harsh but so true.


Satsuki, still being around will have no obstacle other than the meddlesome Yui to keep her from becoming his girlfriend, then maybe he'll forget about the other girls and focus on the one that loves him most. A perfect win.


Well at least your optimistic.

Damn what is the soccer guys name. You really think he will come back? Perhaps a quick appearance but nothing more.

I'm favouring Toujou at the moment as she is the origianal and her feelings have never wavered even if she is unconfident. But thats gonna all change now! Hopefully anyway.


Oh btw, the last raw spoiler was a fake, I put every raw spoiler into the one before that.


I wasn't gonna take the chance

[Fuko]

Wow... you two sure got a lot of discussions... I didnt read the spoilers but do you know any site with translations? not the raw spoilers. ty in advance.

[BlueCheese]

About time someone else posted.

If your looking for manga, the two places to get it from are http://www.yanime.com and http://www.animewaves.net. Yanime has up to volume 15, AnimeWaves has up to volume 14.

[MrBradMan]

bleh, well I can't much reply... I finally found some people who can read the raws and I got an accurate account of exactly what's going on... so sad so sad.

All I can say is that it's very very very moving.
That and Satsuki forever! I never want her to give up on her dream!
Besides, in order for this manga to keep on going, there needs to be a lot more upset.

Maybe they'll put someone into a coma.

[BlueCheese]

Careful there, well i can't wait for the translated version. But it's gonna be a while. Volume 16 hasn't been released yet. So we will have to wait.

[mageofdeath]

Careful there, well i can't wait for the translated version. But it's gonna be a while. Volume 16 hasn't been released yet. So we will have to wait.
it wont be out until june, unless someone manages to grab the raws from shonen jump, since its a weekly release, I wish yanime would use that, but they use the monthly release volumes for better quality...

[BlueCheese]

The raws in shonen jump are no where as near good quality so it's ok. At least their doing it.

[MrBradMan]

actually, that's why yanime said they only use the full volumes, that and they broke off the partnership with animewaves because they wanted direct japanese to english translation to keep it accurate. yanime acutally does have access to the jump raws, but they wont release/use them, I saw a pirated copy of their raw on manga ton1x.

Haha, the look on Manaka's face when Satsuki threw her bath towel at him and helped him escape from the hot spring was classic. It just screamed "huh?" to me.

I was so glad when the reintroduced her into Manaka's love life in this fashion, not just because I'm a Satsuki fan, but also because she brings something to the mix that Nishino and Toujou don't. I think it's that high energy fun she always shows.

Bleh, I have to wait until june for volume 16 huh? Boo! I've seen the volume will be so good, I'm salivating at the idea... though I dunno about having to wait that long for such storyful goodness.

Oh rumor has it that the manga will conclude by volume 18, but again it's only rumor atm.

I'm presently waiting on the raw chapter 156 and a summary to come out on another board. Things appear to be winding down, Toujou got rejected after confessing to Manaka, he's serious about Nishino. Satsuki talked to Manaka about overhearing their conversation, and was glad he matured. They talked about what they'd do after High School. The big deal atm is that Toujou received a big award for her writing, and a Movie Mogul is looking for the director of the film club's latest movie.

But back to volume 15. Kozue.... I shake my head at thee. Her character is so worthless at this point. Based on this volume, it looks like a showdown between the girl he spent 3 days alone with and the beauty that captured his artistic movie making heart. Wait, no Satsuki you ask? Well if she spent the night in his room at this point, he wouldn't be able to deny her. She'd win the coveted proper girlfriend status she's always aimed at. Actually, I would like to see that. *drool*

edit:Actually, she does have a shot... but i wont tell bwahahahahaha.

[hinata smile]

ok ... srry for not replying in naruto fourm ... cuze iwas reading the hole manga of Ichiogo 100% ... ^@^ ILOVE IT

[MrBradMan]

Yeah, it's really good. I've had to run around to animewaves and yanime forums to read up on the newest stuff.

While waiting on more translated volumes I also checked out I"s, Girls Saurus, and Gacha Gacha. Not bad stuff I must admit, and I was fairly satisfied with the ending to I"s, but I have a feeling when Ichigo 100% ends, it'll top the entirety of Kimi ga Nozumen Eien, which was a heck of an emotional relationship animated story.

KGNE was by far the best out of that genre of anime that I've seen which includes everything fromt he memmories off collection, true love story, and some other one I can't remember (guy falls in love with girl's best friend etc etc).

When I read Ichigo, it by far topped all of that.

I guess the real quality of the story is that the feelings of the characters in this manga are fairly transparent. Oh, btw, new volume is slated for the beginning of next month, so we should see the next release after that.

[hinata smile]

omg ... but when it release exactly the manga imean the time ...iagree with u there is no such agyu that well more that four girls well damm full in love with hem

[MrBradMan]

Mmmm.... I heard the volume will be released in Japan June 1st. Yanime does the volume subs after they come out, so it might take a while, since they have to do 9 chapters, so my guess would be that you'd see it from them around the 15th.

The wild card is Anime waves, they were ahead on translation before Yanime, and they've been quiet from a while, so I expect something out of them.

[BlueCheese]

Anime Waves haven't released any Ichigo in a while, but even if they do release it will just be volume 15 which we already have. Like MrBradMan said it's probably at least a month before we see anymore

[MrBradMan]

I dunno about Animewaves... they were ahead of Yanime on volume 14 for a while, and they were using chinese translations to get their material. They might be looking to put out a big release, but that's all just conjecture on my part.

I'm good to wait for this next volume release, since I've seen the raws up to chap 156.... volumes 16 and especially 17 promise to be extremely dramatic and full of shocking, ground breaking material, it'll knock your socks off. Volume 18 for the few chapters I've seen (if we're going in 9 chapter sets) is setting a very intense mood for what may possibly the final lap for this manga. But I digress, back to the real issue.

Volume 16. This volume which should be out sometime next month is the big set-up. Expect lots of interaction with the main characters.

[Xanadus]

Hi..I'm new here. Mrbradman, where do you get those summaries for the latest Ichigo chapters? care to post it here?

[BlueCheese]

go to http://www.animewaves.net they have a forum their with a thread for manga spoilers

EDIT:
Sorry its www.animewaves.net, sorry i'm not on my computer so i didn't check it.

[Xanadus]

Thanks, bluecheese.

[dark_himura]

hi guys! ive been recently been hooked on ichigo 100% and thank god ive found this thread. im looking forward sharing sentiments with fellow readers.

ive just finished reading vol 15 of the manga last night..damn im excited already for the next release!

junpei ur a lucky guy. :)

im gonna hang out here often now hehe. :smile-big

[BlueCheese]

Still gonna be waiting a bit for the next release though. Would you rather have 3 girls after you or one? Much simpler with one

[dark_himura]

yeah. but i hope it wont take long. im craving for the next installment. ( i dont know if craving is the right word though ^^)

but its soo damn hard restraining myself from reading the spoilers *pants pants* :laugh

im fine with just one. but that junpei is one lucky bastard. :) given the same circumstance as him, i would have a hard time choosing between toujo, nishino, and satsuki. :)

[BlueCheese]

Yeh hard choice. Everytime you think one is cool you remember another one.

Spoilers are well spoilers, if you just read them now then whats the point in reading the manga imo. You have a bit to wait the raw isnt released till June and then it has to be translated.

[dark_himura]

yeah i guess youre right. besides, its fine to wait for a 'best' quality scanlation than a crappy one no?

i prefer reading it by volumes so the excitement continously builds up page after page. ^^

[BlueCheese]

Yeah with this sort of thing not much would really happen in one chapter, much happier reading the whole volume

[dark_himura]

damn i think im having withdrawal syndrome.. =)

:P

[BlueCheese]

lol try reading other manga to take your mind of it

[Xanadus]

I heard the next volume would be release next month. I can't wait for it also. Suspense is killing me.

edit; I couldn't help myself from reading those raws but I did. Good thing there was this guy who translated the dialogues from chapters 151 till 154 to I understood something at least.

[dark_himura]

lol try reading other manga to take your mind of it

i guess ill try. any recommendations? those that i can dl from the net just for the moment.

thanks. :)

[BlueCheese]

Mahou Sensei Negima is pretty good. So is Mai HiME (although I think the anime is better). Love Hina manga is excellant but it is licensed. (Still pretty easy to find though) I don't read as much manga as anime. But tomorrow is the start of my four month holiday so I intend to change that.

[dark_himura]

You should go to stoptazmo.com
they have all the cool mangas on the net. Try D-Grayman. Really good.

[HollowDreamer]

what is ichigo 100% ive heard of it but im not sure what it is.

[BlueCheese]

what is ichigo 100% ive heard of it but im not sure what it is.
It's basically about a guy who is really interested in making movies and is trying to choose between a few different girls who are interested in him.

hehe thanks. ^^

im going to look for em now. damn ichigo 100%.

ive tried looking for love hina before but no good searches just yet. i think ill give it another shot this time.

[[noir]]

hey i was just wondering do we know when chapters 134+ will be out translated?

[mangekyuo_itachi]

its at 134+ know i fink but i just love watching da anime

[BlueCheese]

It's been said several times in this thread that the raw's dont come out till June sometime. So don't expect it any time soon.

Oh and you like the anime? Man it's terrible compared to the manga

[Xanadus]

Think its the middle of June. Coz those jap tanks apparently hasn't been released yet. Only the raws from JUMP. Yanime and AW only scans from those tank versions. So quite some time yet.

[Gondar: King of Primates]

BlueCheese is right, the manga is exceptional. They take out all the good character development in the anime and it just seems so rushed.

[dark_himura]

hi guys its been a while. ^^

[BlueCheese]

Hi man, all a bit slow cos I think we have discussed everything up till volume 15 to death. When volume 16 comes out we can have a decent discussion again.

[dark_himura]

yeah i guess so. hehe i hope the next volume will be out soon. i would hate this thread becoming a flame thread like other ichigo threads i've visited. =)

anyway you guys know any links where i could dl mahou sensei negima, tenjou tenge and love hina? i think they are already licensed..its so damn hard finding reliable sites. hihi.

[BlueCheese]

Yeah well the raws come out some time this month, but then it has to be translated. So a while yet unfortunatly. Anyway i'll pm you where to get those mangas. Love Hina manga is awesome!

[dark_himura]

yeah time to get my mind off ichigo for a while. ^^

thanks again blue for the PM. =)

[BlueCheese]

No problem, I must read some more Negima myself soon. Had like the busiest week ever and no time for manga :(. But even worsed next week, i'm visiting my brother and ill have to use 56k again :amazed :( :crying

[ccongdon]

first time I came across this manga I thought it was a Bleach Doujin...

I read skimmed throught it and was completely lost :P

[BlueCheese]

lol nicely done

[dark_himura]

hehe in my case i thought it was a spin off of the bleach series.

i totally forgot to read the latest chapters of bleach coz of this hehe. =)

[ramenluver]

hey.. anyone know where i can get Love Hina manga and ICHIGO 100% raw from 134 up? Cuz i heard people already have the raws...

[Xanadus]

Normally I would have said manga-tonx site, but its down for some days now. The best bet is to go to IRC and download from a raw bot. Here's the link http://www.lurker.myshelter.net/ and the IRC channel is #lurk at irc.highway.net network.

[skethee2]

hey.. anyone know where i can get Love Hina manga and ICHIGO 100% raw from 134 up? Cuz i heard people already have the raws...

here is what you asked pal

http://manga.hentai-ton1x.net/index.php?name=Content&cid=23

it has Raws from chapter 102 to 159

I hope they scanlate these as soon as possible

[ramenluver]

awesome! thanks.. i appreciate it
O btw are there any translations out?

[BlueCheese]

Nope no translations from 134. Check www.yanime.com and www.animewaves.net for translations.

[AmazinG]

I love Ichigo 100%, but how much longer until anime-source gets the translated manga? I check the site every chance i get :laugh

Ichigo 100% > Love Hina

[BlueCheese]

Nah for me Love Hina is better.

They only translate the full volumes as was said earlier in this thread. They are supposed to come out some time this month. I don't know when. But then it will be a while before they manage to translate it all.

i think its better that they translate every volume

We get a lot more to read and more interesting..unlike every chapter few days
we get it over with quicly

Edit: my 400th post :smile-big

[Sol 3dge]

you should get it from yanime, i think its better. www.yanime.com

[Ino-Shika-Chou]

so far 158 manga chapters. so glad to be japanese cuz i can buy jump XD

[BlueCheese]

Yeh yanime is better, they translate directly from japanese.

[ResoluteOne]

This manga is such a tease, i got irritated. I also thought it was a bleach tanget, till i read some of it.

[ResoluteOne]

Oh, some msn group sites have ichigo 100%, but only like the first 50 or so chapters. http://www.readmanga.com/view.php?currtitle=11

[BlueCheese]

Everyone makes the mistake of thinking its something to do with Bleach. Oh and ResoluteOne, edit your post rather than posting twice.

[dark_himura]

"ichigo" is a familiar word. =)

hehe i wonder if there is a naruto 100% lolz. XD

anyway its june 16 here in my location, hehe cant wait for the next installment. =)

i check yanime from time to time but no news. nada.

lets patiently wait shall we?

@sol 3dge

[AmazinG]

LOL ya thats how i got into ichigo. I thought it was some hoe related to Bleach so i was interested and just kept reading and now it has surpassed bleach in my eyes.

Right now i read Death Note until the 134+ (vol16) scans are released for Ichigo 100%. Death Note is sweet!!

I believe Ichigo means strawberry in japanese

[Ino-Shika-Chou]

I believe Ichigo means strawberry in japanese
yups, you are correct ^ ^

[BlueCheese]

www.yanime.com is the best place.

[dark_himura]

I believe Ichigo means strawberry in japanese

hehe thanks for clarifying that. =)

[BlueCheese]

hehe thanks for clarifying that. =)

Didn't you wonder why there were so many strawberry's lol

[spaztik]

I dont know i just thought it was a fetich , i mean my ex had one with strawberrys /ponder what a coincidens. Anyway lol WTF is with the cherrys!!! That just screams wrong

[BlueCheese]

I dunno man the whole series is a bit weird like that

[spaztik]

Taht is what makes it good, the characters are so straight forward and obvious where as the paths and thier roles in the story are really quite complicated and unexpected some times

[BlueCheese]

Yeah man it's a good series. Although it is starting to become abit tiresome. I mean how long can you string along three girls for.

[spaztik]

I dont know but u ahve to admit this guy has bawlls i mean seriously Nishino although nice and house wife-ish is very very scary in a " your gunna be sleeping on the sofa" type of way and satsuki who is just a plain manly but kicking type who i would seriously be afraid to dump and toujou who is just like so fragile it would kill me to see her cry. But he manages to keep going, ignoring all that and do that right thing which i truly admire. The only thing bad he has going for him is not that hes stupid but he has no self confidence and relys alot of the girls to make a move. All in all i like it, prolly one of the mangas ive ever read beacuse i can relate to it. I give it a 5/5.

[BlueCheese]

Yeah he must be the most clueless person their is when it comes to girls. Although he has got close a couple of times with Nishino until they were interrupted.

[spaztik]

If the phone rang while that was happening to me i would just get up and turn it off and then lie about who it was. Or destroy the phone you know wcih ever im in the mood for

[BlueCheese]

Yeah, but theirs been a few occasions that I can think of off the top of my head. When they were under that shrine thing and her alarm went off. Also on the hospital type bed and the lights went out. Man they should just get it over with.

[spaztik]

Agreed, I feel sorry for him. All that work to get the mood going and something alawys goes wrong. I mean it takes ALOT to get a girl to open for the first time i mean jesus and shes done it to him like 3 times already. Poor guy -.-

[AmazinG]

Ya it kinda sucks for Manaka how he is always interrupted but if he did go all the way the story pretty much ends right there because he can no longer string 3 or 4 girls anymore.

When im reading i know something will interrupt whatever situation he is in but i always keep yelling to myself "he might finally do it!!" :amuse

(Im tempted to look at the raws but im just going to continue reading Death Note until the translated versions come out)

[spaztik]

What i want to see is if he be a playa and get em ALL to go al the way that would be like the will of god

[dark_himura]

hehe the will of god indeed. =)

[spaztik]

Or a mad good fortune cookie!

[pached]

anyone know where to get translations (or scanlations) of the chapters past 134?

[BlueCheese]

For about the 5th time in this thread, it hasn't been translated past 134 yet. When it is it will be at www.yanime.com

[ramenluver]

man i read all the raws up to 161... i barely get whats going on at all... but its sexy.. for sure, it seems like after a certain point theres a next stage, like before.... the closest he got to a girl is huggin one and then another and then another...the next stage is kissing and it gets pretty hot there, but thats only raws so far unless you consider the accidental kiss that manaka and toujou shared was real :wink i really do hope they translate quick, i mean theres like 3 more volumes out( im guessing 8-10 chapters are about a volume) Thats about 30 more raw chapters!!!!

[spaztik]

I agree!!!!!!! Right now im trying to dl the my-hime or mai-hime series off different torrents but all of them have 0 seeds! kinda pissing me off cuz the manga doesnt do well on my comp is all like pixelated so i cant read it. But ya I wish they would translate faster. And i wonder if i could my friends dorm room on it, I could prolly get my friends, whos mom is the vice president of a huge cell phone company, to pay em. -.- /ramble off Anyway lets all pray for a new volume!!!!

[BlueCheese]

The Mai HiME anime is awesome, the manga is very different but still good. If your looking for the manga you can get it off irc at http://www.thelurker.net/

Shouldn't be too long for next Ichigo volume. Can't wait!

[Gondar: King of Primates]

you can also view My Hime at http://manga.anime-source.com/manga/index.php

[spaztik]

the anime is better tho

[unimatrixzer0]

Ichigo_100%_TV_12(END).avi

I just saw this torrent at the usual place I get most of my anime off... is Ichigo 100% anime really only going to be 12 episodes? Looking above it looks like the manga is already in the 160's?

[decapitatedKOW]

what chapter is the anime. because this is a great anime and i want to see the manga

[Ha-ri]

you can also view My Hime at http://manga.anime-source.com/manga/index.php

Thats a cool site witha good layout, btw what part is smilar to episode 4 in teh anime?

[spaztik]

which series? hime or ichigo, cuz ichigo manga x10 better then anime but hime is like anime x2 then manga imho for manga i use umm directmanga.com

[Ha-ri]

I'm talking about ichigo 100%.

[BlueCheese]

The anime is still a long way behind the manga , episode 11 is around chapter 57. But trust everyone here in that the anime is absolutely terrible compared to the manga. So if you like the anime, definately read the manga.

[spaztik]

/agree get the manga at directmanga.com

[BlueCheese]

man my experiences of directmanga haven't been great, it takes forever to download anything

[AmazinG]

Atleast you can download from them. I cannot even start a download, i get a message saying something like our server is busy go to register to our premium servers etc... Everytime i get this message :S

On another note the administrator for yanime said volume 16 "will be done in a matter of time"

Can't wait for that :smile-big

[BlueCheese]

Cool, if you dont mind irc get manga from http://www.thelurker.net/ it has tons. Can't wait for ichigo!

[spaztik]

YAY ME NIETHER!!!!!!! man my sleep schedule is all mesed up beacuse of it!!!! i stayd up all niught and read em all at once ya know? and now like i wake upo at 8pm it pisses me off but it was worth it!!!!!!!

[dark_himura]

hehe the addiction is clear.. =)

hmm lemme check yanime. =)

[BlueCheese]

Yeah man i think i did something similar first time i checked out ichigo. I hope you have all voted for ichigo at yanime

[spaztik]

I did!!! I just wish i could help them out since they are doing it so slow, but i had to sell my server so i could gte my mini fridge!! yay woot! o yea and i got a new phone! anyway yea -.- go yanime!

[BlueCheese]

Hey man the fact their even doing it all for free, can't really complain can we. Without them where would we get our ichigo fix. They do a damn good job!

[spaztik]

yea i agree just wish i could help out though lol i feel bad complaining when i cant do anything to help. I piss myself off when i do that.

[dark_himura]

d@ng if only i knew japanese. =)

oh btw, ichigo 100% leads the poll at yanime. =) (yey!)

[BlueCheese]

Yeah by a mile, looking at the others though its not really suprising

[AmazinG]

How far is the Ichigo 100% manga? I know volume 16 is out in Japan but i see raws from 162 out and based on the current average length of volumes im guessing volume 16 ends somewhere around chapter 154 or so.

[BlueCheese]

Translations are only up to 134. Yes volume 16 is out in Japan but it takes time to translate it and stuff. Especially as yanime is doing it for free. Yanime only translate volume releases. They don't translate the weekly releases. So they are only slightly behind the raws at the moment.

[Xanadus]

Each volume roughly has 9 chapters..so vol 16 only brings ichigo 100% to chapter 143, vol 17 till 152, 18 till 161 and 19 onwards..
Right now the raws are at chapter 161...quite far ahead.

[spaztik]

such is life

[BlueCheese]

Yeah but they are the raws that appear each week. Yanime has already said they are only translating the releases that come out as volumes. Volume 16 came out on the third, so they are not really behind

[spaztik]

u mean the raw volume 16 right

[BlueCheese]

yeah the raw volume came out on the third

[AmazinG]

I actually prefer the way its being done now because i hate reading just 1 chapter then waiting like a week to read just another chapter.

Now i get to sit down and read all the chapters in the volume which is also beneficial for comprehending the whole story in case i forget some details during the week

[spaztik]

well yea of course who wouldnt. Just wish i could help yanime translate faster ><

[BlueCheese]

Yeah i like the way they do it. I really don't mind about the speed too much, cos well they have a life.

[spaztik]

i wonder how long it takes to translate a single page on average

[BlueCheese]

Man they don't have to just translate it, they have to do other stuff as well. Like cleaning it. If it were just a simple translation job i'm sure it wouldn't take that long.

[Nakor]

how long do you think it will take them to release volume 16? i have no idea how long it would take them to scanlate a whole volume.

oh and im just curious. i dont' really care how long it takes.

[AmazinG]

Most likely early July is when we'll see volume 16

To be honest no one really knows. We expect it soon but no way of really telling. Don't bother asking yanime cos they won't be pleased.

[Xanadus]

waiting 2 months for a volume release or a week or so for 1 or 2 chapters release, I would prefer chapter releases.
I hate it when a volume ends with a cliffhanger (and I was told in another forum thats its going to happen for vol 16 and 17) and waiting for 2 months just to know what happens next.

[BlueCheese]

Well volumes are released every month and one chapter is released a week. I prefer volume release because very little happens in just one chapter. Much easier to get into it reading a volume at a time.

Actually Yanime is doing a good job keeping up with Ichigo 100%. They gave us volume 15 last month and are trying to give us 16 this month (Japan also just got volume 16 this month).

Instead of reading just 1 chapter we get to read like 10 all at once

[Xanadus]

Problem is Ichigo 100% in Japan comes out every 2-3 months..Vol 17 will be released in August, Vol 18 in October. Which makes sense since 9 chapters = 2 months. Otherwise weekly Jump chapters couldnt keep up.
This was mentioned by Cgoten in Yanime forums himself.
So we would expect the scans to be released every 2 months the earliest.

And weekly chaps arent so bad, I kinda got used to it with Naruto, Bleach and One Piece weekly releases already.

[AmazinG]

Im probably going to have to wait longer until i can find a direct download of Ichigo 100% because Yanime is probably going to release volume 16 via bittorrent and i don't have that :sad

Some of their stuff they use direct downloads zip files but i don't know if they will do it for Ichigo. Hopefully anime source updates their site as soon as Yanime releases it :)

directmanga.com might release the new ichigo chapters when they are released. well prolly like alittle after they are initially released but i'd say they should be out there. hopefully.

[BlueCheese]

Oh yeah your right i forget it releases every two months. I still think it's better though.

[MrBradMan]

Hey guys.
Sorry I haven't been around much, but since we've been waiting on fully scanslated volumes of Ichigo, there hasn't been much to write about, that and I went crazy going through a ton of other manga such as Mahou Sensei Negima.

-Note: No actual spoilers-

Anyway, if you've been paying attention to the current raws, things are heating up again. It seems to be drawing to the conclusion (again) at chapter 163 with massive drama and decisions between Aya and Junpei. This chapter is a very emotional one.

Look forward to major developments between the main characters, and far less appearances for the side characters.

Well back to searching for something new to read (again).
