    Linky the magical link.

    There is the link to the manga scans.

    Has anybody been following this besides me? If so what do you think of it?

    Edit: Yuno is my favorite character.

    True, but he has been doing a little better since...
    Yuno/Yuna kidnapped and tried to kill his other friends.

    I actually read this one of my own volition. Fucking epic, though it seemed a bit stale compared to some. The Future Diaries were very cool though.

    I'm greatly enjoying this. Yuno...makes for a great stalker.

    Although she does get a little too close to Glen Close's character from Fatal Attraction at times.

    I never had heard of this manga, so I went and read all of it yesterday. I can't believe what I was missing. How often does it get updated?

    Once a month, I think. You can get the general date of the next chapter by checking when the previous ones usually came out. For this one it can be any time. He doesn't seem to have a set pattern to his publishing.

    This is fucking awesome. Thanks for the heads up.

    I usually prefer anime over manga, but Mirai Nikki is fucking great so far. I'm only on ch. 11, but knowing me, I'll probably have it finished by tomorrow.

    Pretty good. It's getting a little repetitive, and I'm a little lost at times (the author doesn't feel the need to explain away certain things, and instead jumps from one chapter to another.
    Like, when Yuno was in that building, luring Yuki's friends into that "hotel"? Where the fuck did she get a command center, an electronic locking-from-the-inside-of-the-room door, and a compartment to release sand? It's surreal.
    Maybe that's the intent though? A lot of scenes are dream-like.

    Great stuff. I especially like how the roles of "Protector" and "Damsel" are switched up, the girl obsessing over the boy and protecting him, rather than the boy having righteous and chivlarious feelings for his 'true-lurve'.

    Anyone think Yuno's phone message
    'tied together' is suggestive not of marriage or sex, but of something else?
    A way to explain why Yuki won't have to kill her at the end of the game?

    I've thought of that as well, and it's a bit disturbing, but in the recent chapter...

    She actually admitted that Yuki wasn't good at something, which is a step in the right direction for her, like getting a link in that chain that's a few links short.

    Neither do I, my use of the right direction was meant for the right direction for sanity. I actually would prefer her to stay insane. On the plus side is that the kanji that was used to spell tied to gather is, according to the translator, usually means in a marital or sexual act so I am probably over thinking.

    After putting it off for a while, I finally managed to read it. It is...Ok. Not my kind of manga or something I would take time out to read, but it is one I would read if I had nothing better to do.

    Yuno is epic though.

    Recent chapter was made of win...

    We saw Yuno actually cut through somebody's head with a knife and I think Vash Finally got his wish of Yuki hardening the fuck up....

    Thoughts?

    Well that's one way to get me interested in the manga again. I was wavering for a while, especially with the lack of updates, but now I want to know what happens next.

    I hope for awesomeness.

    I've seen it before, but I've never read it, because the summary on OneManga sounded sorta lame. Could someone give me a general summary of it?
