Need A Girl is a blast.  I'm enjoying this so much.  It takes awhile for everyone to get introduced and established but it's addictive after that.  It will get a little dark now and then and you'll start feeling sorry for someone but then they'll do something stupid and it turns hilarious again.

For example, when Mirai appears and talks all the girls into watching porn for the first time:

Anyone follow any Korean works?  I've read a few manhwa and webtoons (which have blown up) but nothing that matches the best manga.  Probably my biggest problem is how many of those I've come across have been heavily steeped in cliche.  Perhaps it's because it's a young industry compared to manga but Korean drama is often like that, too.  

Some of it has some fantastic art, though, like Girls of the Wild's (Lee Moon is the best girl).

 

Veritas was a great Manhwa, though I wasn't too fond of the abrupt ending. I can't remember whether or not it was canceled.

I read Tower of God for the first hundred chapters, but eventually I got bored with it and stopped after the plot lost focus.

Pig Bride was a very cute romantic comedy and I would suggest it to anyone that likes a little supernatural in their rom-coms.

Man, there is much less One Piece chat in here than I expected! I know there are more of you fans out there >: )

Give it time! We're still digesting the huge plot twist of Sanji getting a cute wife.

AHaha, I'll be waiting for that then x )

No it was never stated in the manga either, I'm guessing we'll find out later hoe Lucifer got his Nen back, maybe that's how Gon will get his back too!

Hm...in the anime there was a black dude in the Greed Island arc that was taken along with the Phantom Troupe, so I assumed the implication was that he was going to give Chrollo his Nen back somehow. I assumed we would get more explanation...and maybe we still will. Togashi doesn't follow normal shonen rules though...so who knows.

Hmm...now that you mention it, I do remember something along those lines in the manga. Togashi is special though, so we just have to wait for what he has up his sleeve.

So I was just thinking... do you guys think now that we know about Jack, that Jack is what Jinbe had to take care of? The thing he mentioned he had to do before joining the strawhats?

I've always thought Jinbe would die because of that, because I don't believe he'll actually join the crew, having a Fishman would be cool, but he is too strong and boring to join, at least the main crew, he could be under their wing like the others from Dressrosa.

So, Jack is pretty pissed, he'll go back to Zou as soon as he can, Zoro is there to fight him, but do you guys think that could be the chance to Jinbe to finally reappear, fight Jack himself, so no Zoro fight, and join the crew?

WHY ARE YOU BREAKING MY HEART HERE BRALOD.

I really want to see Jinbe join, but it's true that his presense is a bit hard to fit in. He's easily on par with on par the Monster Trio (he was even teased as such during the Impel Down arc along with Crocodile), so it would have to become the Monster Quartet with his addition.

At least his bounty is below Luffy's now, as far as we know...I think they've only said he was above 400 million. It's true he isn't very interesting right now, but I thought the same about Robin before Enies Lobby, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. He does seem to have a flair for the dramatic, like when he was making a big deal out of naming their plan to save Fishman Island, so that could be amusing if Oda makes him more prominent.

I'd definitely like to see another female crew member first though. 

As far as Jack, for some reason I assumed Jinbe wanted to take care of something with Big Mom before he could join the Strawhats, but if Jack is a famous criminal like Arlong, it would definitely make sense for Jinbe to be tracking him down. Man, that could really be a one-sided fight though...depending on if they're fighting on land or sea.

I like Jinbe, but he just doesn't fit on the main crew.
Robin for example has a role purpose on the reading of the Poneglyphs, as well as a sadisctic humor, Jinbe is just quiet and well manered, he is too old to join a crew with younger people, he could at least have a tsundere personality, but he doesn't, he has to change quite a bit to fit on the main crew, but he could very well lead a Fishman Pirates crew under Luffy's wing, that would be a powerful ally to have. Also he is already too strong to join, of course having strong people is great, but I rather have someone becoming strong while there, not already getting there strong, like everyone else did.

About the female crew member, that has to be Vivi, Vivi is basically one of them already, and she has a freaking lot to develop together with them, it would be really nice, she had to be a damn princess, hasn't she... *sigh*, but I'm still hoping she'll join, specially now that she is finally on the sea.

It's been so long since a crew member joined, I'm not sure what actual roles they have left to fill. Maybe a dancer to go along with Brook's music? A spy to gather information on other crews? A secretary to handle pirate PR? A giant mermaid to push the ship when it's in trouble?

*coughs*

Taking over the Sun Pirates and flying the Strawhat banner is probably the most viable option, though I think his addition could work, if Oda wanted to go that route. Combat-wise, having a fishman karate expert would be interesting, and he's a unique race as well. He's older, but I see it as like the older dude that seems to join your party in JRPGs all the time. He, Brook, and Franky can be the Old Man Trio (Franky won't like that but oh well...hehe).

Sanji is not part of the monster trio anymore, though, Usopp bounty is bigger than his, Usopp is the 3rd right now, so if we were consider Sanji it's already a Monster Quartet, with Jinbe that would be Monster Quintet XD

Usopp's luck power is nothing to sneeze at, but I think of the Monster Trio in terms of actual fighting power...and how they're all so OP but have such simple motivations (food, swords, women). Usopp's more like the "real" character in the group, compared to them.

At least this arc seems Sanji-focused, so I'm hoping he does something to reclaim his spot! Even though I feel Usopp will keep rising. I'd like to see Zoro's face if Usopp ever passes him XD Oh boy...

Well, Vivi may have been up to something after all that time, who knows.
What about Kaya? She was studying to be a doctor, will Usopp ever take her to the sea? With Chopper there is no need, and she isn't fit for that kind of life, but Usopp has to drop by sometimes, poor Kaya, just keep waiting and waiting.

Yeah, Vivi was pretty cool when she wanted to be...just seemed weak compared to the monsters, exactly like Nami and Usopp at the time. She beat one of the lesser Baroque Works members as I remember...Mr. 7 maybe? I'd like to see if she improved at all...despite having important princess duties.

The crew definitely has a shortage of cute blonde girls, so I'm all for Kaya coming back. At the very least, I'd like Usopp to see her again. She'll just have to fend off those suitors in the meantime. >D

We also don't have a blue haired girl, we need Vivi XP

Usopp is doing the same Yasopp did to his mother, keep Kaya waiting and waiting and don't drop by! He'll just get to see her again after Luffy becomes the Pirate King, most likely, but she will not join them, just take care of Usopp and listen to his lies, now actually being true, lol.
She gave them the Going Merry, even as they don't use it anymore she will probably never sail with them, she is a mugiwara since the beginning XD

I miss Merry...

=(

I cried like a baby.  I feel no shame in saying that.
