What manga have you been reading lately, /a/? How are you enjoying it?

rent a girlfriend

>>280806102 (OP)
Woah its the FF7 Shinra building. Don't forget to grab the Behemoth Horn on the 2nd visit.

>>280806102 (OP)
Most of the manga I got on my list either hasn't been updated in a while or is updating at snail pace, so I've been binge reading Rin-ne and Mao by Rumiko Takahashi. A rather stupid move from me, cause it became obvious very quickly that this is stuff to be read one chapter per week, but I really had nothing better to do.

>>280806102 (OP)
Some private tutor slop from the 00s, surely manga was different back then, more real

>>280806156
fucking hell those are some massive chapter counts
and yeah i feel ya reading like 500 chapters 1 per week of an ongoing manga feels fine but jumping into something with 500 already out feels pretty daunting

>>280806102 (OP)
I just read and dropped Downer Onee-san wa Asobitai.

>>280806322
Rin-ne is gag comedy, so there is actually not that much in terms of plot and it's easy to go through it quickly, but that's exactly why I shouldn't have rushed it, because jokes got repetitive.
As far as big chapter count goes, it's not that bad if its interesting, not so long ago I've re-read Detective Conan to remind myself of old plot points. Old cases back in the day were so much better.

>>280806102 (OP)
>thinly veiled rec thread
I read through goblin slayer year one after seeing an update being posted here and I enjoyed seeing the stripped down version of him without any of his generic anime companions. I also read through samurai isekai and Im glad i didn't get filtered by the title.

Rereading Ragna Crimson since it feels like it's current slog of an arc will be wrapping up soon, and the early bits are as good as I remember. Want to get caught up on The Bugle Call next

Started good but kinda mid at this moment

I've not read any completed series this past week, but other than all the single chapter updates, I started up magilumiere and sakamoto days
>sakamoto days
not much to say, I'm only on chapter 16. it's fairly fun and enjoyable, but I don't see myself getting heavily invested in it. unless something hooks me, this'll be one where I just casually read a few chapters here and there. the tunnel effect looms heavily over the horizon though
>magilumiere
I'm up to chapter 88, and I'll probably finish it in 2-3 days. I'm pretty sure magical girl purists would hate this, but I've been enjoying it quite a bit. at least part 1, I'm not entirely sold on the changes after the timeskip. it's basically high tech ghostbusters with a magical girl coat of paint. the computer programs that act as the magic are a very big focus. koshigaya is simply the best
>>280806274
I'm a sucker for older female younger male romance, so I'll add this to my wishlist and hope that it's fully translated by 2040

Choujin X and Bugle Call are probably the best ongoings i came across

I like it so far. It's not too difficult either compared to works like Mugen no juunin.

One Piece (retranslation) - pretty good
Berserk - pretty good
Fruits Basket - shite
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou - boring and shite
The Rose of Versailles - pretty good
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Parts 1 + 2 - pretty good

>>280806274
>surely manga was different back then
>he says as he's talking about softcore porn
surely more real

>>280806102 (OP)
Slime Saint: Pretty funny and nice.

>>280806102 (OP)
Read almost everything that doesn't belong to the boring genres (i.e. isekai shit, SoL teen shit, ecchi, romcom, romance, cgdct shit etc) and switch back and forth between many.
Guess RED, Plinivs, Usuzumi no Hate and Historie is what I am reading most regularly right now.

It's not thinly veiled, it's blatantly obvious.
But apparently it's fine when it's for manga.

I'll take a single thread like this over the countless isekai/dbs/one piece generals any day of the week

Nope, it's the perfect dynamic for both of them.

read the first volume of Koibumi to 13-sai no Actress. don't really know where it's heading but it's cute so far. hoping it doesn't get preachy about anti pedo beliefs.

I just finished Rojikka to Rakkasei the other day, it was really solid. Felt like a better version of Adventure TIme.
I'm currently reading Persona 2 Tsumi to Batsu, I like how they implemented the game mechanics into the manga and the cast is fun, but the story isn't wowing me yet, I find it weird that so far they haven't implemented the rumor setting which was the most interesting thing about the game duology's plot.

>>280809897
Forgot about Black Clover, D. Gray-man and Hunter X Hunter, they update too slowly so it's kind of hard to classify it the same as the other ongoing manga
There's also Kemono Jihen which I'm enjoying but I'm way behind, I was waiting for the translations to update but so far they hasn't and unlike Soara and Shiori I haven't caught up with its raws.

Bleach and I have not been enjoying it for the most part. I am just so disappointed by how many characters there are yet almost none of them have any depth.

Gangsta, didn't realise it was on indefinite Hiatus though

AFAIK that's as far as the translation goes
But yeah fucking good-ass manga

>>280806102 (OP)

From my backlog?

Frieren -> enjoying it a lot
Dungeon Meshi -> Good as well
ORV -> Not upo to date, like the setting and having actual characters in contrast to solo leveling.

Rereading panpanya's works. I kinda wanna do a storytime of these, so good.

>>280813011
Every ongoing Manga usually doesn't release the same day, I usually just read 1 to 3 chapters total a night
The non-ongoing Manga like Tsumi to Batsu I read on my way to work on the train

>>280806274
>Katekin
Surprised to see someone reading this today. I vaguely remember reading this shit a couple years back and it still surprises me how an author can go from that to one of the best romance mangakas to this day.

Reading Ryuu: Ron as the translated chapters come out, it's pretty good so far. Young guy in 1920s/30s Japan just wants to do martial arts and be a nice dude to everyone, including (gasp) Koreans and Chinese, but the world around him is quickly going to shit.

>>280823096

>>280806102 (OP)
Yes

>>280822791
It's not bad by any means. It looks like a tutor baiting just for a grounded coming-of-age story

>>280820269
Dark Auction Hitler State, it's being written by the woman who wrote almost every CING game like Hotel Dusk

>>280826051
It has its moments but near the end is where it starts shitting the bed tremendously. I remember the final volume or few chapters was so bad, translations were just dropped. Out of all Ojiro’s works, it’s definitely the one that’s the most unrefined. It’s not absolutely horrendous or anything aside from certain parts and near the end. Her later stories are where she really hones herself writing-wise, though Katekin is definitely has some of the elements that can be seen in her later works.

I just got done with the seasonal 7 chapters of Steel of Celestial Shadows. Reminds me a bit of Sengoku Youko and Touge Oni but only not as crazy as those get. Only downside is theres no scanlations and have wait for Viz to release a volume every 3-4 months.

>>280828758
Is seasonal manga a thing? Surely there's a manga out there that's actually seasonal by design, right? Like 60+ pages weekly for ~12 weeks per year. I'd much prefer this over the monthly schedule, the mangaka can take their sweet time resting and planning it out too.

>>280807496
I get strong Cibo and Killy vibes from this.

>>280829131
Oh I meant that Viz releases a volume of this seasonally. I do know that Jump Giga is seasonal and only Black Clover and Gintama became seasonal in Giga

>>280808996
>hoping it doesn't get preachy about anti pedo beliefs.
I wouldn't worry about it.

>>280829182

Last time that happened to me was Shangri-La Frontier. How about (you)?

>>280820354
What's happening with mangadex? I'm not clued in but I notice a lot of series updating slower than before or not at all anymore

>>280831138
Have you considered checking out all the series with 100+ volumes?
I flat out avoid series with more than 20 volumes and take a lot of considerations when picking up series with more than 10. I prefer alternating between different series to give each chapter a moment to contemplate.

>>280826051
>coming-of-age
I always hated this pretentious term and the way the Japanese love to write stories about people growing up and accepting societal norms. Just say 'growing up'. And stop being such a bunch of collectivist insects. How many manga are there about a boy 'coming of age' by giving up 'childish things' to do the right thing and study, go to higher education and get an office job in the city and become what they call a member of society.

>>280831917
>Have you considered checking out all the series with 100+ volumes?
I've read a few of those but I don't think the remaining ones would interest me. It's a short list overall and many of those series appeal to niches I don't typically take interest
I don't necessarily look for super long series either, if I find a manga with 60+ chapters that's finished or 200+ that's ongoing I got enough to keep myself immersed for a while

nothing, finding new manga to read is too much of a slog

>>280834677
Finding new Manga to read is really easy, just check OPT threads in the archive

ZOMG RECOMMENDATION THREADS

>>280834677
What have you tried?
Pick a magazine that matches your interests.
Look up other works from an author you like.
There's nothing wrong with checking out classics either.
Stores will recommend similar works based on your and others buying habits.

I sometimes get sloppy with the gatekeeping and namedrop a series I assume everybody is already familiar with get get surprised when some treat it as a big discovery.

>>280834677
you're 25+ aren't you?

>>280835362
nta but what does that have to with anything? My brother is 28 and he still finds new manga to read. And I assume most users on /a/ are in their 30s but still read manga

>>280835390
Zoomers have this idea in their head that anyone over the age of 25 is a decrepit curmudgeon

>>280835390
so then you're depressed. got it

>>280835564
They're right
t. decrepit 34 year old fossil

>>280835390
I'm 41 and I still find a dozen new manga to read each month.

>>280835564
They're right

>>280834677
I'm pretty much incapable of not finding new interesting manga to read, /a/ makes it really easy to find stuff to read

>>280835088
>just check OPT threads
dont want to read bottom of the barrel ecchi shit

>>280806136
Would you stop acting like a retard and climb?

>>280835905
>/a/ makes it really easy to find stuff to read
How? /a/ only talks about a handful of popular series. You'd need surface level interest to be satisfied with that. Maybe five percent of the series I read get mentioned here.

>>280835564
They're right. I find new manga to download all the time but I never read it.

>>280835987
Have you considered that you might only be checking threads of popular stuff rather than slightly more obscure stuff? Out of the top of my head I found Red Eyes, Sumire 16, Wakusei Closet, Tsuyoshi, Soara to Mamono no Ie, Historie, Tank Chair, Kami Katsu, Choujin X and Freesia through /a/, granted a lot of these are really popular now and I do experiment by reading whatever seems interesting or checking Japanese awards which was how I found out about Ryuu to Chameleon, Shadows House and Laika no Hoshi.
Point is it isn't that hard to find new manga, I have over 2000 in my backlog. The hard part is finding time to read theme.

>>280836081
Your idea of what's obscure seems skewed.
>checking Japanese awards
Even those are dominated by popular series. Smaller magazines don't really get a chance to compete.

>>280836190
I don'tr really see Ryuu to Chameleon getting discussed and since the awards must nominate new manga looking through the nominations usually helps me find stuff.
But even then there's the OPT threads, manga threads, checking whenever someone makes a storytime or even a thread like this. It's really hard to run out of good manga to read.

>>280836445
>since the awards must nominate new manga looking through the nominations usually helps me find stuff.
If you're talking about Tsugimanga, it's series with up to 5 volumes so most of the nominees are older titles. It's rare to see titles from the past year make it.
Almost all of the titles come from the big magazines so you may simply check out the new serializations for those if you just want new series and don't care about obscurity.

>>280806102 (OP)
Been reading the Grimm Fairy Tales series by Daijirou Morohashi (best known for Shiori and Shimiko).
It's a short story series retelling Grimm's stories, but there's always some kind of twist. Snow White, the pale skinned, red lipped girl roused from her coffin being a vampire, for example.

Also read through all of the works of Sachiko Uguisu. I like Mieruko-chan, but the attention that manga got compared to, say, Shibito no Koe wo Kiku ga Yoi is criminal. As a man who primaily reads horror manga, I honestly prefer her works to those of Junji Ito.

>>280837158
Sounds like an (お前) problem.

>>280837202
Becoming dekiru won't unaxe all those manga though and that's by far the biggest issue
8/10 times I find something interesting and start looking into it I found it got axed

>>280837225
You can prevent future axes by supporting the series. It doesn't always work but it's better than doing nothing.

>>280837357
Unless Anon is an oil sheikh, it'll never work.

>>280837377
It will work if enough people buy. You don't have to buy a thousand copies yourself, a single copy can make a difference if enough others are doing the same. It's the foundation on which the whole manga system is built on.
I'm more willing to recommend series to people where I can expect that they'll buy the volumes.

>>280837357
I mean future axes sure (and I have bought volumes of manga that I really like and are in a bad spot) but what's axed is axed

>>280837730
>but what's axed is axed
Unaxing can happen.
Some authors also try to reboot a series with a different publisher and similar and publishers can still take late sales into consideration for future decisions. Buying manga is never wrong.

>Alien out of fucking nowhere for several chapters

>>280837822
>Unaxing can happen.
Yeah I can same way I CAN win the lottery...

>>280837730
Just enjoy things for what they are. If something is axed, does that make all of it bad all of a sudden? Most of the time, they'll try to wrap it up with a good enough ending at least.

>>280839240
Mate you must have an incredibly low bar because all the axe endings I've seen have ranged from absolutely abysmal at worst to bad at best

>>280839508
I have confidence in my own taste over someone who can't even be asked to engage so much with the medium. Name these so horrible endings you have seen. And again, I stress that the ending shouldn't invalidate your previously positive experience with the works unless it's truly retroactively terrible.

>>280841369
>I have confidence in my own taste over whatever someone else says
Well no point in talking further then. Have a good one mate

>>280839508
Is an axed ending worse than a series forgetting its original premise and dragging on forever?

>>280841885
Depends on how hard the author shits the bed later on but most of the time I'd say so yeah

I've been enjoying drifting dragons, it's dungeon meshi-esque. sad to discover it isn't finished and I've accidentally become enslaved to another monthly series.

>>280842375
yeah, I can't bring myself to read monthly series. even if they're being officially translated so you don't have to worry about a group disappearing and translations going dark for 2 years, it's just too long of a wait for my pea brain. I'll get to enjoy tower dungeon, bugle call, drifting dragons, touge oni, tiger won't eat the dragon, female knight and kemonomimi child, tenkaichi, and more that I'm sure I've forgotten about, once they're done

>>280808996
omg anons, she's such a material
how to I get a wife like her?
I mean.. technology is cool and all but perhaps I was born a bit late to have a "young" wife

>>280842958
What exactly do you read? Almost every manga is monthly or lower frequency.
You can do what those shitty web manga sites do and split a monthly chapter into parts so they can update more frequently.
Touge Oni has 6 chapters per year.

>>280843210
ANON NO DONT FALL FOR THAT VIXEN'S CHARMS

>>280843663
I was pretty sure some of those weren't monthly, but they still fit with their infrequent updates
here's what I'm currently reading. for years, the only ongoing series I'd read were romcom trash since an infrequent schedule is rarely an issue there. but a lot of those ended in the last couple years and I hadn't replaced them, so I decided to give drama queen a shot since it looked interesting. I enjoyed it quite a bit, and then the mangadex purge happened. so I checked out more mangaplus series, and now here I am mostly reading stuff from mangaplus. might as well since I'm here

>takizawa-san, uzaki-chan, yancha gal, no gyaru in this class
all just fine romcom trash, good representation of what I used to mainly read
>bokuyaba
great romcom
>dare demo
absolute trash. was great trash up until the retcon
>csm
only read part 1, but it was great. worried about part 2, plus I want to reread part 1 before jumping into it
>drama queen
a fantastic unpredictable roller coaster
>god of time, land of monsters, nito exorcists, blue proustian moment, home at the horizon, ghost fixers
all just fine but nothing amazing. I like blue proustian (slow burn yuri with some poverty drama) and home at the horizon (dead dad's bastard son shows up, chill drama) the most
>war of the adults
pretty dumb, most likely to be dropped
>kaedegami
solid foundation, but too early to really tell
>centuria
pretty great. started off fantastic with amazing monster designs and an interesting mystery surrounding the eldritch gods, but it's recently erred on the side of generic battle shounen. I still have faith though
>dandadan
started off great, but has really faltered over time. the characters and their relationships, along with the interesting paranormal oddities were what interested me, and they've both taken a backseat to just mindless fighting and endless roadblocks. I have less hope for this getting back on track

Revenge slop is among the worst slop to exist. The central conceit of any revenge story is that some past suffering justifies the causing of additional suffering in the present, often to a gratuitous degree. I’m not saying that I would never take revenge on someone if they harmed me enough, but I’m tired of limp-wristed authors feebly attempting to justify it as some righteous action. No. Wrong.

>>280846533
the vast majority of revenge media makes a point to either say that revenge is bad actually or at the very least that it's not worth it. that's especially true for japanese stories

>>280846533
>saying this when the vast majority of revenge stories are "revenge LE BAD let the guy who killed your whole family live a happy life or you're just as bad as him" bullshit

>>280846499

That wasn't Yanineko mangaka's fault though

>>280845748
There's always a Toriko thread once every blue moon, it's always quite nice.
Nobody really gives a fuck about the charges of the guy

read it again last year, and it is really enjoyable

Well, be prepared to be continually disappointed. That's bleach for you. Anything after soul society arc fucking sucks.

The final volume of 'Seinsei, kongetsu dou desu ka'

>>280845748
I really enjoyed toriko. I think the ending was rushed as hell and full of plot devices, but the ride there was very fun. I genuinely wish the world was like how it is portrayed in Toriko. Tasty dishes. I've even been working on my full course menu of life for about a decade now.

Ohterside picnic. It's ok, but it needs a little less jap bullshit and bit more Cheeki breeki.

>>280847622
The LNs are better than the manga but not particularly more GET OUT OF HERE STALKER.
I love it as a yuri adventure and for their friendship as the basis of their romantic relationship. Adventure, yuri and /x/ first then /k/ second.

>>280837913
I just hope it returns to slice of life and cute wholesome family stuff.

>>280826597
Isn't that a manga adaptation of upcoming vn?

>>280847622

Really want to go back racing now.

>>280848519
It's not cancerous or juvenile. If you like anime and manga you're not going to cringe when reading it, only someone who doesn't like those things would.

>>280850210
I just don't like LNs as a medium. They're way less enjoyable than manga or anime for me.

Life is a beautiful suffering and I'm too stupid to get ML translation running on my PC while I have the knowledge and (natural) English skills to understand an MTL'd manga.

>>280850783
>1/40 is actually high quality good
seems way to high, the amount of trash on most manga reading sites is astronomical

Didn't like it. Realistic teenagers' life are tedious and their dramas are insipid.

>>280806102 (OP)
Just read this today.
It was pretty good.
Only cared about 3 or 4 out of the 15+ ish pilotes but it was good anyway.
Finally got to understand pic rel so that was neat too.
About time these lasers got to be useful, literal jobber move for 95% of the manga.

>>280831182
DMCA spooked mangadex owners so they nuked thousands of manga off and anyone uploading new manga has to say they have official permission so a lot of people stopped using the site.

>>280853666
Shit sucks
Is there a reliable replacement or do we just scatter across various websites now? I still check my updates tab on mangadex but also bookmarked the translation groups for a few series directly. That seems to fill the gaps left by missing updates

I don't get why it gets hate just because it isn't as good as Dorohedoro. Both are great.

>>280806102 (OP)
one of the Otome Mob spinoffs
a fun ss manga called Gal Sensei
Shield Hero is getting kind of dull, which is weird because really important character shit is happening
Eminence in Shadow is still funny
Heavenly Prison is crazy lewd

Read Class of Brains. Had no idea what the fuck was going on.

>>280806110
fpbp

>>280854990
It just didn't hook me like Dorohedoro did and being too similar didn't help either.

>>280854990
It gets the hate because it's barely a story. The cast is unlikeable, there's no particularly interesting hook, it feels like it was designed to be a video game with all the focus upgrades, loot and shop gets. I'm quite frankly surprised it's allowed to run for 6 years at this point because it's a meandering mess.

>>280853229
Nah it was just another one-note gimmick manga. Maybe if I had grown up in Japan I would appreciate it more.

>>280857417
Oh but if it gets an anime I'll probably watch it, these type of manga are always better in anime form.

>>280806102 (OP)

>>280806102 (OP)
Some FKMT stuff.
>Ten
Kind of a bad idea because the mahjong was pretty much lost on me. Read it anyway because the last arc was supposed to be worth it, and it was.
>Buraiden Gai
Pretty entertaining, short and sweet.
>Gin to Kin
Loved how high the stakes were at times and how ballsy Gin is. You never quite know what you're getting with this one, but it was pretty entertaining throughout. Shame about the sudden ending though.

>>280846533
revenge alleviates the pain inflicted on you, never believe the propaganda against it.

Its like watching your lvl 99 party grind on a lvl 20 dungeon, there's literally no stakes. But what i hate the most is the lack of space pirates and space tech stuff in favor of super OP darktech(tm) our protagonist has full access to

Manga thread can work if the board is slow enough and doesn't have the need for constant necrobumping, aka altchan. I have a couple of these threads up all the time even though the posts are infrequent since the quality of discussion and genre variety in those are worth to keep the tab on.

>>280845748
Most undeservedly axe because Jap has shit taste.

>>280829131
I also think it would be a good idea, though it would need to come from a big mangaka, the magazines probably want them to write as regurlarly as possible for more sales.

OPM(webcomic) and HxH are somewhat close to that model, just with way too big breaks.

>>280858637
Homosexuality is cosmic horror for some people.

I frequent 5ch which is the biggest Japanese message board and even there the manga discussion is limited to a few series despite having a dozen manga boards.

>>280846533
Thee point of revenge stories is that nobody wants revenge, they want to move on and be happy. Revenge stories are the most kino there is.

I haven't been reading much of anything until recently. I binged sakamoto days, started kagurabachi and caught up. Just read Takopi's Original Sin this morning which was actually really good. Next up I've been thinking about restarting Sun Ken Rock or Kingdom.

I would enjoy it more if I can understand what it's saying

I was a decrepit curmudgeon when I was 9. Nothing's changed 28 years later. I've always been a grump.

>>280847622
I used to think that there was some law that every anime and manga creator had to include at least a certain amount of Japanese stuff, or else it would be rejected by the government.
Whether it a Western fantasy game that had a katana tossed in for no particular reason or a show that takes place in Victorian London where there's just some samurai tossed in, there'd have to be something.
Of course now, I realize that japs are even more ignorant about the world outside their country than Americans, and they just can't help but make everything Japanese.

>>280854990
Oh crap, I forgot to mention Dai Dark in my post. >>280865588
When was the last chapter released? I really need to start using another reader than Tachiyomi. Sources are always dropping off, and I have to manually look these things up. Also I don't know if the app I have on my tablet lets me see pages side by side.
I had been reading Trigun and Kekkai Sensen, but Nightow has so many two-page spreads that looking at them one page at a time ruins it.

>>280865774
Latest chapter was in the Gessan issue that came out on the 11th.

Steins;Gate - Arc Light of the Point at Infinity, covering Mayuri and Suzu's POV that lead to their disappearance to the time machine.
Tried to read Suzu's manga, but art style filtered me.
Can't find the light novels...

>>280862475
if the manga reading sites are anything to go by, most non-japs taste isnt much better

>>280866482
But I need manga about cyborg Lincoln fighting Zombies, Armenian history or how great life in Sweden is. If it's about Japanese, they need to be involved in shady practices such as producing propaganda in 1930s China.
Nobody else could produce these.

>>280829206
i see. looks like i don't have to.
