MAO Ch 341 - With the uwabami slain, the ringmaster reveals the long history of using the Elixir of Immortality, not only on Kuro, but on Sasuke the clown as well. Despite Hyakka's belief the immortality granting was a fake, it seems to have worked, but not without side effects.

In terribly sad news, Tetsuya Chiba (1939-2026) has passed away. Best known for "Ashita no Joe" (あしたのジョー), "Notari Matsutaro" (のたり松太郎), "Akane-chan" (あかねちゃん) and many other shonen and shojo series. His death is an astronomical loss to the manga world.

Coming this week- Ranma meets Sentaro Daimonji! Sentaro's story was very delayed in the original series (and then once he debuted he returned numerous times in original storylines). The new episodes promise to be faithful to the original with special guest stars!
