Thread 280868332

What's your favorite ongoing manga right now?

>>280868332 (OP)
Not for long methinks

Versus. It's too bad it's only a monthly manga, it's a ton of fun.

>>280868332 (OP)
same, i also love choujin x

>>280868357
well, it's one alright

>>280868332 (OP)

Came in this thread to post this: >>280868357

Versus is great. I'm completely enthralled by the setting's premise of "about a dozen world's apocalypses have all merged and overlapped with one another and they're all the worst thing ever." It's great and it's good to see ONE writing something.

Tower Dungeon is also pretty good. I'm only a 'recent' casual fan of Tsutomu Nihei (I liked Kaina, but didn't finish it. Knights of Sidonia was also good, but it felt unfinished), so take my opinion with some salt when I say I like his more casual visual style and tone in Tower Dungeon way more than his other works.

Primal Gods In Ancient Times is probably my 2nd favorite right now, but the update/translation schedule confuses me. I love the setting, enjoy the character designs (particularly the kami), am eager to see more of the world, plot, and I actually like every single character. This is also one of the few mangas where the time traveling elements are actually good and not disruptive or shit.

>>280868332 (OP)
JoJo

>>280868513
>but the update/translation schedule confuses me.
Bi-monthly schedule (one chapter every two months) but the translator only does the volumes. He'll upload them every Thursdays once vol 8 is out on August 12th, we call it "Touge Thursdays".

>Choujin Mid

No thanks bro

For me? It's The Bugle Call.

>>280869257
Never heard of it, what do you like about it?

I ain't very good with putting shit into words but basically

>>280869609
Thanks, I'll check it out.

>>280868332 (OP)
bug ego, funniest manga i think i've read
and it has the same problems as>>280868357 because its the same author

>>280869609
How does it compare to World Trigger in strategy autism department

>>280868332 (OP)
One Piece and Hunter x Hunter. Might be a normalfag answer but they're just better and more ambitious than anything else.

>>280869861
Nowhere near as autistic it's just some stuff like military formations/strategies but still that's heads and shoulders above the average punch harder shonen

>>280868332 (OP)
World trigger, but Choujin X is amazing too

>>280868332 (OP)
I don't know about favorite, but I'm really enjoying Centuria. Such a refreshing mix of dark fantasy, horror and shonen. The author is certainly new at this whole manga thing, but despite the faults, he seems to have the vision to create a quite the ambitious story.

>>280868332 (OP)
Heterogenea Lingvistiko, Shakunetsu no Takkyuu Musume, Koibumi to 13-sai no Actress, Made in Abyss, Akebi-chan no Sailor Fuku
It's hard to pick just one because I can't pick the one I want to pick, Machikado Mazoku, since it doesn't quite count as "ongoing" anymore...

Ryu to Chameleon
Even though the manga isn't over yet I feel like I can safely say this is the best manga about making manga that I've read

>>280868332 (OP)
Shadows House

I don't really read ongoing, but right now my favorite is either Choujin X or Gash Bell 2.

>>280869941
>One Piece
has been shit for longer than it was good at this stage

>>280875083
wrong

Jojolands

>>280868332 (OP)
You already posted it

People already said Choujin X and Gash Bell 2, so I'd say Heavenly Delusion or just for the art alone, Witch Hat Atelier

Tower dungeon probably

>>280868332 (OP)
Banjou no orion. Only ongoing manga that doesn't have me asking if I should stop following it weekly/monthly everytime a ch comes.

Ones that actually get scanlated regularly on release (Togue Oni only get scans with vol releases):
One Punch Man (webcomic)
Versus
Bugle Call
Tower Dungeon

Dark Summoner to Dekiteiru
Maybe Frieren now that it's back and the arc is near the climax

A few that I like but not enough to need it asap

The Eminence in Shadow (though it is an adaptation)
Mieruko-chan
The Color of the End: Mission in the Apocalypse

>>280868332 (OP)
Choujin X and Ragna Crimson. Kingdom's been good recently too

>>280882000
it's more grounded
characters are likeable
has really good art [if you ignore the really obvious image use panels]
there is a plot, and it's not just two op characters fighting for 20x chapters

>>280883590
re-reading this list I guess I just really like war
>Kingdom (Military "strategy")
>World Trigger (Tactical autism)
>Bugle Call (Fantasy setting and unique powers)
>Ragna Crimson (TDD)
>Dark Gathering (TGD)

My favorite series of all time is Ishura LN which has the best combination of (military strategy, unique powers, and overall death and destruction). Too bad the anime sucked.

i see this discussed absolutely nowhere, surprised it's still going.

Both J<-->M and Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You are tied for me

>>280885524
>Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You

I remember there being a lot of .5 or twitter or something chapters during the fantranslation that were pretty important. When the official localization started these stopped getting translated. Or did they just stop existing and it was a concidence that that lined up perfectly with the official translation? Help. I like it so much, I don't want to miss out on half of it.

>>280885652
Really? I thought someone had picked them up-- I know they wind up in the physical volume releases, so when we see scans of those instead of just the stuff stolen from the online official translations, we'll at least get them eventually

>>280884877
>Yanineko
I wonder how many people found out about it after that guy killed himself. Kinda funny if he boosted that manga one last time

>>280885652
>Or did they just stop existing and it was a concidence that that lined up perfectly with the official translation?
This, basically
there haven't been anymore .5 chapters since then

>>280885691
I haven't kept up with the series since a long time ago. There was so much important things and payoff in the .5 chapters, them missing killed my interest.

>>280885734
Or maybe I'm just retarded and stopped for no reason. Time to catch up then. Thanks anon

>>280881962
>I'm a sucker for revenge porn.
Tried juujika yet?

>>280885704

I found out about that only after finding the manga here through one page thread, still find the suicide spectacle completely absurd but I guess mangaka aren't known for mental stability

>>280884877

I forgot one title that is a comedy spinoff for Momo the Blood Taker

Tokyo Fears Rhapsody

Bug Ego. It was imasara but it's on hiatus for a few months.

>>280880763
A 30 volumes long manga by Asakura George is exactly what I need in my life.
How's the release schedule for the TL?

>>280885830
As a matter of fact, yes. It was kind of dumb but made up with some kino torture and rape scenes, even despite some being censored. I semi dropped it after his Grandad was killed. The author has no fucking idea what he wants to do with the manga and the moment Shin left the cult island the manga jumped the shark so fucking hard.

Another good one is Kimi ni Aisarete Itakatta. Although that manga also takes a nosedive in quality after the author returns from hiatus. I think torture manga is cursed, it always starts off good but they never know where to go with it.

>>280869257
This is my pick too

>>280868332 (OP)
Tower Dungeon
MAD
Bugle Call
Bouryoku Banzai

>>280869257
Love it but then those Midsomar chapters kind of ruin the mood

ether fools night, or the bungle call.

I am extremely hungry for non mecha sci fi style shows written in the traditional style. although its hard to find any, rebuild world and ragna zero I am also following.

>>280869609
>actually interesting fantasy setting
its sci fi actually, kinda spoilers, but its

like gene wolfe's book of the new sun series.

>>280869861
bugle call is probably the second closest manga you will ever find to world trigger, the other being kekkaishi(which is eeriely similar to the point where I feel like world trigger was inspired by it)
however bugle call has more technological or sci fi elements similar to world trigger, vs kekkaishi where they use special abilities like ketsu based on japanese religion.

>>280883831
>Ishura LN

where can i find the 4th volume in north america? i can't find it on kindle, audiable or even amazon ?? i found the first 3 books to be good in audiobook format, but I would be ok with reading pdfs as well.

after the old kiss sites got shut down I'm struggling to find a place for light novel pdfs.

>>280892194
I also found this super obscure series that isn't really being translated, but I did find the first 3 volumes on random sites some how.

its called "thunder 3" and it looks like its a literal copy of GANTZ but its actually by a different author and it has one of the more interesting concepts i've seen in a manga.

its literally 3 kids from another manga art, looking like astroboy, flying out to a photorealistic style manga world, and apparently they just traveled into a different dimension and become basically like superman under a yellow sun, oh and also they somehow have a bunch of randos fighting off an alien invasion, almost exactly like gantz in terms of its storytelling, but not the same author

No mention of Tengoku Daimakyou?
Centuria is a fun battle shonen
Yajin Tensei is an actually decent isekai
Although it's on hiatus The Witch and the Beast is amazing

Anon...it ended a long time ago...

it's one punch man for me

If it doesn't count then kagurabachi for sure, it's the only weekly slop that manages to consistently deliver

Centuria and bugle call are pretty good but they still have the potential to turn to shit when if the author fails to deliver on their big reveal

>>280894786
Pretty good

>>280894786
Much better. JoJolands starts pretty weak with some nostalgiawank by having Rohan appear randomly and not focusing that much on the cast aside from the JoJo of this part. But from chapter 9 onward I'd argue the manga has been non-stop amazing.

Tower Dungeon and MAD
And Made in Abyss for the rare updates.

Choujin is so fucking good right now. I don't think i've ever seen this particular brand of "antagonist monkey paws himself by winning" anywhere.

>>280911959
It's funny cause the more manga I've read the less I've started to care about labels like "shonen" or "seinen"

This is everything I am reading currently. Some gets released like once a year, but they are all fun. Sometimes a manga is GOOD in which I'll add it to like a top rated list, but I like manga that are FUN to read, which is why I have some shonen jump titles in there, they are fun to read, but are not particularly good in terms of story depth or other reasons. Then there are some ecchi titles like Elf-san and Tsugumomo that are just raunchy reads.

>>280896299
yellow tanabe's works is alot like Hiromu Arakawa. especially the dialogue,
however in terms of the combat and fights, as well as the scenes and world building world trigger and kekkaishi share alot of similarities.

also both series are very brave for having a weak protagonist in an era where their respective magazines were filled with powerhouses. Both series also put an extreme amount of screen time on side characters, and there is no point where the protagonists overshadows or "powercreeps" the rest of the organization.

both series are literally tower of defense defending a location from an alien threat, although in kekkaishi's case its a mythological threat, both series has alot of politics involved as well, both involve an organization designed with very similar departments and groups the protagonists having to form a team and grow their own group etc.
I can go on, but the similarities are very strong that I can go for an essay on them.
