Thread 283113095

Been a while since we had one.
Let's discuss manga that can't sustain their own threads. Any interesting ones you picked up and want to talk about?

>>283113095 (OP)
imagine looking like that but youre still bald or balding lol

>>283113140
He looks better with it.

>>283113095 (OP)
Started to read isekai slop because didn't find anything interesting, Isekai Demo Bunan ni Ikitai Shoukougu is surprisingly good

The few things I read for the first time recently were
>Fool Night
Needs no introduction probably, great manga and some of the best art in recent years.
>Usuzumi no Hate
Comfy post-apocalypse is like, my favorite genre, and while this one is less comfy than some it's still pretty nice and the art is good. The naruto reject kid really needs to go, though.
>Taiyou to Tsuki no Hagane
What is it about samurai failures that makes them so compelling? Nice classic supernatural samurai action manga. It's no Sengoku Youko but has some of the same vibes. Also a huge departure from Kasane, the previous well known series by the same mangaka, that I was personally never able to get into.
>Bug Ego
I'm not ONE glazer, but this might be my favorite out of everything he wrote. The humor sometimes goes too far and detracts from the spookiness but it's still solid.

Other than those I've been mostly catching up on some ongoing series that I haven't read in while, mostly with disappointing results.

>>283114151
>Fool Night
Glad it's getting official translations. I need to catch up one day. I stopped right around the introduction of the Central bad guys, I believe. One of the best currently running sci-fis imo. Morally grey which a plus in my book
>Taiyou to Tsuki no Hagane
Just read the concept and it's look interesting. Is it a chanbara?

>>283113095 (OP)
Thought this was SG fanart for a sec.

It sucks you can't search for manga based on chapter page count. 50 pages is the best but it's rare, even for monthly releases.

>>283116220
how blessed we are that every day we can discover a new and interesting flavor of autism thanks to 4chan
truly a marvel

>>283113095 (OP)
Zingnize is pretty cool. It's a shame the group doing it rarely puts out chapters, but they dropped 2 out of nowhere today.

>>283113095 (OP)
>>283113226
What mango is this? This looks like an absolute banger.

>>283116539
I'm enjoying it. But the action scenes are still messy.

Has anyone here read this?

>>283113095 (OP)
>Wandance
Been reading Wandance since the anime has terrible animation. It's just going to keep butchering the next couple of chapters. The art is absolutely amazing.
>Killer Shark in Another World
Love watching our protagonist get bullied and survive every situation.
>the gods lie.
5 chapter and a good read short read. It ends bittersweet and glad both characters are in better situations.

>>283117079
Lock Up
Big good guy wrestler in his old age still practicing the craft, despite the difficulties.

Enjoying Genikasuri. It's the latest manga of Sako Toshio, the author of Usogui and Batuque.

It's a drama featuring boxing. It's about a boxer waking up from a coma, having lost everything. He realizes he was taken advantage of the promoters and coaches of the boxing world and vows to take revenge, by acting behind the scenes.

The protagonist Harima is like a mix between Baku from Usogui and Icchi from Batuque in design and personality.

>>283117900
Sounds based.

I'm suprised I'm the only person that likes Bakune Young

>>283117975
Don't know why but the mention of coma made me remember War of the Adults.
>Sounds based.
It's honestly great. Only read Jinsai from the author but it has a similar vibe to it.

>>283118334
Oh it IS the author of TOUGH. I thought the OP art style looked similar. Nice.

>>283113095 (OP)
>>283113226
Just want to say I'm happy I'm not the only one reading this. Dude's other manga Jinsei about the gold hearted former Yakuza is also fucking rad

Someone recommended Boku to Issho a while ago and since then I've been reading all of his other stories - I liked Wanitokagegisu and Himeanole, but it seems like translations for the latter have been dropped. In a similar vein - any good recommendations for autobiographical works? I enjoy reading artists talking about themselves or their hobbies.

>>283117594
I have. It's great really fun Dragon chick is best girl and Patty's suffering is hilarious

>>283113226
I fucking love Saruwatari man. Even if I think his peak of MA manga was with tekken-den tough, its always fun seing his art in motion

>>283116539
>>283117479
That series needs a complete reScan with extremely high quality scans.

>>283120012
>Spoiler
Patty was cute as hell I stopped laughing at the PETA death camp arc.

>>283113095 (OP)
One Day Outing Foreman is getting translated again. Peak Kaiji is back

At the moment the best things I am read which have regular scans are Nine Peaks (time travelling delinquent manga), Mr Zetton (delinquent manga about a delinquent who is now a teacher) and Jumbo Max (murder mystery about pharmacist who makes ED pills), also all on-going. It's not had scans for a while now but Rappa: The Delinquent Ninja Scrolls (delinquent battle shonen involving ninjas) is also really good.

>>283113095 (OP)
>>283113226
Literally every chapter of Lock Up has been absolutely fucking incredible so far. For another wrestling themed manga that is just as good (but perhaps not in such an emotional heart wrenching way) I'd recommend Harukanaru Ring, was done in English a few months ago and also a short read (4 volumes). There's also Blue Ursus but it's written by Sandrovich so at some point it is going to become shit, great art so far though.

>>283121945
>Jumbo Max (murder mystery about pharmacist who makes ED pills)
Sold

>>283119869
Tried Himizu?

>>283121945
I remember the anon who worked on Harukanaru Ring saying he's planning to work on Lock Up with others. Wonder if it's him that's doing it now.

Reminder this is the greatest love story ever told and it's not even close.

>>283113095 (OP)
It baffles me how unpopular Dokagui Daisuki Mochizuki-san is here on the west.
This manga outsells over half of currently running WSJ manga by individual volume sales, yet nobody on the internet seems to care about its existence.
I guess Rohan is right, American have no taste in manga.

>>283125604
Food manga/anime is terrible overseas since you can't go do a day trip and visit the places they talk about, it's just torture
It only makes sense to do about local food

>>283113095 (OP)
I wish somebody pick up Mega Rosalia.
It's super interesting.

>>283113095 (OP)
Got any recommendations for manga that aren't any more than 100 chapters and has a satisfying ending?
It doesn't have to be a happy ending or sad/depressing ending. It just has to be a satisfying conclusion.
I'm also fine with any genre.

So... is it finally over?

>>283125604
>American have no taste in manga
Japanese media in general pays too much attention to food and gourmet shit. Art has become so trite and vulgar that maybe there isn't any other content worth creating. It doesn't even make for a good read or a proper vicarious experience.
What's worse is that it's gotten to the point that writers will devote full pages to some faggot enjoying some regular omurice while saying umaii. It will even hijack plot lines in manga or stop some action because the director thought filming some OL stuff their face for 2 minutes would look good and 'relatable'.
I don't think reading about recipes, ingredients or calories adds anything to manga as an art form.
That's just your dumb consumer brain consooming whatever the fuck. Point in case, you just posted a spread about some fatty rushing home to eat white rice.

>>283126484
>>Japanese media in general pays too much attention to food and gourmet shit.
LOL I was reading some ecchi slop the other day and like 5-6 pages of several chapters were literally spent on cooking and recipe preparations

>>283126484
Considering how popular Shin-chan's dad's anime is right now in Japan, I guess it's just a matter of cultural difference.

>>283126578
I watched Shin-chan as a kid but I don't think I'd go out of my way to watch a show about his dad cooking rice with boiled weeds and conserved pears, or visit some random udon shop (I'm exaggerating, Nip food is mostly top tier but lots of stuff just have a plain flavor or are barely edible).
>cultural difference
They've been making doramas with the same awful production standards for the past 20 years and that shit is still popular.
Imagine if some Western TV network tried to put out something with the look and feel of 00s' Everwood or early Supernatural. Not that the West isn't trite or full of mass-produced crap, but iit's like the Japanese are stuck consuming the same stuff over and over.

>>283113095 (OP)
>>283113226
Is this a bara manga?

>>283113095 (OP)
Can someone explain to me what is going on with Asadora? Seems like it's always on hiatus. Is it even good?

>>283126841
Yes, lot of manservice.

>>283126446
What's this?

Very high, might even be, dare I say it, peak. To think Reki Yomi might possibly be surpassed

>>283127516
Even Monsters Like Fairytales

>>283126484
>I don't think reading about recipes, ingredients or calories adds anything to manga as an art form.
What does "add to the art form"?

>>283113095 (OP)
>Senki survival saga
i read most of it, dropped it due to censorship
i was hoping it would just focus on the loli but annoying characters kept being introduced
Not worth reading

>BLOOD+
Complete shit, somehow more boring than the original blood movie. Has a cute shota character that dies way too quickly

>Ichigeki sacchu!!! Hoihoi-san
about a quarter of the way through this, its pretty entertaining. its about cute mini maid robots

>Beautiful Place
Pretty entertaining, i like the art, though i can tell its just one guy whos using blender for backgrounds, seeing girls shooting eachother is fun

>Blue heaven
Pretty entertaining but short. I like the art too. I'll check out the authors other stuff at some point

>Onee-San wa joshi shougakusei ni kyoumi ga arimasu
A yuri loli x adult woman thing i found, i dont really like yuri but im struggling to find good loli manga that i havent read so im settling, has some decent fan service and is entertaining

>>283127738
>ooh witch eroti-
>Latest Release(s)

>>283128891
Damn, why don't they upload it anywhere? I use a manga downloader and then read it on my tablet

>>283128918
Cubari, read the OPs

>>283128944
Sorry, I'm illiterate
But still Baka is usually good for this
Either "Latest Release(s)" is up to date or "Licensed (in English)" is yes

>>283126148
Picked up (just to read it though).
Seems like the mangaka has a thing for shortstacks.

>>283129151
Bless you, anon.
Looking forward for this stupid gremlin.

bump for a cool thread

I've been reading Souboutei must be destroyed.
It's by the author of Ushio & Tora, and Karakuri Circus. I've been loving it about half way done anyone else a fan of his work?

I'm looking for something finished and on the shorter side of things that has a similar pulpy but serious scifi vibe like Inherit the Stars and Blue Hole, alternate history desirable but not mandatory

>>283127738
It's so fucking good, chapter one was good and then she lit up a vibrator like a blunt and it's the best manga ever. I hope so fucking much that it ends on his terms.

>>283113226
>>283120177
I was gonna say "is this fucking Tough?" cuz that art looks so much like his.

But then you mentioned Saruwatari and im like yep its coming together. Its been so long i read that. Is this like the newest title that he's been working on?

>>283132517
Read it and loved it after a while. Almost dropped it initially because it seemed very generic and I didn't like the main character.

>>283128918
lots of scanlator don't want to upload to mangadex after the purge, even if their series didn't get impacted

>>283126446
Yes. The last extra is calles the final chapter.
It ended pretty early sadly, it had more potential desu.

>>283132563
Have you tried Hoshino's other manga like 2001 nights or 2 faces of tomorrow?
11-nin iru was good too but the sci-fi setting is not as "serious" as Hoshino's series.

>>283128012
>Blue heaven
You should check Bakuon Rettou

>>283126841
I randomly checked a chapter and it was filled with ball shots censored with pixelation

>>283132517
Currently reading Silver Mountain. It's nice and I hope it keeps on getting updated.

>>283132782
No, it ended years ago.

I am reading banjou no orion. Probably the only series I have ever read which is fun to read weekly.

>>283118066
>>283118169
You're not, Bakune Young is incredible.

>>283121945
>Sandrovich
Don't mix this faggot's shit with those great martial arts manga you cited.

>>283113095 (OP)

Recently started reading GitS: The Human Algorithm and it's great. Section 9 's characters are so interesting on their own that you barely notice the Major not being present for most of the time.

Next Mieruko volume in couple days

Been going through my nearly 18 year old backlog of series that weren't completed yet. I do have on question. There are several mangas I remember reading, but their name's I've forgotten, and my memory doesn't allow for a description that can help me google them (doesn't help that Google gets progressively worse over time). They are:
>a witch cursed with immortality. One arc was in a dark town with canals.
>a more recent one, a manga based in modern times where gods appear. Looking at a god kills you. Protagonist is a woman I believe who saw one and has a cursed eye of sorts.
>one with flying ships going between flying islands. There was a massive towerlike town. Obviously not Drifting Dragons.

I'm considering finally reading Jojolion. Do I want to download the Hi wa Mata Noboru scans?

After finishing Kaiji 1-6, I’m reading Kurosawa. I flip flop between hating Kurosawa for being a self centered insecure piece of shit and feeling sorry for him. Same with how I felt about Kaiji but on a whole another level. At chapter 18 now

>>283122428
Honestly it's incredible, the synopsis on MU is quite something.
>Tateo Sone runs a pharmacy in Odawara and leads an ordinary but happy life with his beautiful wife and stepdaughter. One day, however, when his wife tells him she is pregnant, he is shocked. It's because he has a secret: he has never had a functioning lower half of his body. His wife's child is not his own. Tateo despairs at the thought. At that time, a man named Sumaoka happens to give him a mysterious ED drug. Tateo impulsively takes the drug and is shocked to find that the function of his lower body miraculously recovers. Tateo declares to Sumaoka that he will recreate and make this medicine himself. But this is the beginning of a dangerous day that will change his life forever!

>>283124849
He was but this is someone else, and there are daily chapters now so at this pace it will be done in a couple of weeks or so.

>>283136234
>a more recent one, a manga based in modern times where gods appear.
That one is After God.

>>283136234
?

I've been reading Ryuu: Ron as the chapters are being translated, it's a pretty good manga about pre-WW2 Japan, even if the plot is a bit all over the place.

>>283136200
Based, genuinely great manga that mixes the moods of the original manga with Stand Alone Complex.

>>283136234
>>a more recent one, a manga based in modern times where gods appear. Looking at a god kills you. Protagonist is a woman I believe who saw one and has a cursed eye of sorts.
That one is After God
>>one with flying ships going between flying islands. There was a massive towerlike town. Obviously not Drifting Dragons.
Might be the Steampunk manga by the Candy and Cigarettes guy

>>283135753
nta but is he that bad? only read a bit of the dumbbell one but it seemed alright

>>283137667
>only read a bit of the dumbbell one
You are beyond green.

>>283113095 (OP)
This looks like traced CGI

>>283136669
>>283136707
>>283137297
Wow thanks a lot. 2 of them were correct. Thanks again.

>>283137667
Everything he writes becomes shit at some point, it's incredible the consistency with which he's able to do it. I am only reading Blue Ursus because it is about delinquent girls pro wrestling, and therefore it feels like it was custom made for me, but I know before long it will become shit because Sandrovich is writing it. I am just waiting for it to happen.

>>283137667
He simply turns the story into SoL after a point. Most of the bad shit he pulls were done by other MA manga too if they aren't going for a full on realistic depiction like meguru/teppu etc. those have their own uniqe set of story problems imho

>>283137708
yeah sorry, so does he torture small animals or something? people seem to hate him and i'm just curious as to why

>>283137846
>>283137871
thanks, makes sense now

>>283113095 (OP)
I read through the three Tetsunaki no Kirinji series the other day and while a lot of it was pretty mediocre when it was good I really vibed with it.
It's the type of series where I feel like if it had a better editor it could've really gone places

>>283137846
From what little I know about Kengen its probably gonna be some psudo supernatural shit and either the government, billionaire cabals or ancient secret societies that killed the MC's mother

>>283128551
I agree with the latter but not the former

>>283137889
He knows nothing about martial arts, fight choreography is extremely fucking lazy and that's not talking about how he physically cannot write stakes into any story. Whatever the artist he works with, you won't find a single technically correct high kick in here, his depiction of martial arts never goes beyond what you'd expect from dragon ball.

It’s only got two volumes out so far, but it’s really good.

>>283138404
I'm sorry but I hate Fujimoto
There's something about this stuff that's so smug and self satisfied I keep getting annoyed while reading it

>>283136551
Kurosawa has that effect on people. It's one of FKMT's best analysis on "losers" and it's a surprisingly motivating story. Just stick with it.
And don't listen to anyone. The sequel is worth it as well.

>>283138500
>And don't listen to anyone. The sequel is worth it as well.
Nta but are you really fucking sure of that? I've been told countless times to never ever read a page of the sequel. And honestly I feel like the ending is great as it is.
>>283138449
This. Especially if he's cranking out "little girl with rifle" garbage.

>>283138567
>I've been told countless times to never ever read a page of the sequel. And honestly I feel like the ending is great as it is.
NTA but its a decent comedy with new characters. It fun if you can dissociate it from the main story and take it as a sidestory/extra a la baki dous. Little homless gramps was the higlight when I read it like 6 years ago.

>>283136551
Have fun anon. It keeps getting better and better with the exception of the "hunt" arc imho. I could recommend zebraman manga too if you ever want to look for something similar.

>>283138567
The majority of the hate towards the sequel comes from its existance instead of anything wrong in its content. It's a more comedic story with the same hitting life lessons. Along with a serious arc taking the latter half.
If you are fine with the ending of the first one and want to stop there that's fine as well.

>>283113095 (OP)
saruwataris stuff is great, it's a shame that there so much of his material either poorly translated or not at all
one of my only wishes is that yoshi would have had more fights in the series
>>283137968
what irked me about the series was that everyone somehow always knew each other

>>283137249

I'm surprised it hasn't seen more discussion on /a/, it's a very solid manga on top of being a GitS work.

>>283140789
There was an 8 month gap between uploads that'll put a damper on things. Doesn't help that it's an actual Action Senin and lacks a lot of the controversial/edgy shit that's catnip to /a/ posters

New Aokishi is out.

Anyone reading rights? I hope they continue with the TL and it doesn't turn into another red eyes situation...

>>283142623
You really need to learn Japanese. You're missing out on so much otherwise.

>>283143858
Where can even get the raws? Nya? Is there sites like mangadex for jap rips?

>>283143909
You buy digital versions from Kobo or wherever you want.

What series should I read if I loved cromartie?(Banchou portion was kinda weak however)

>>283133910
thanks
biker delinquent manga did not seem like something this nigga would have made but Ill read it lol

>MC is reasonably normal young adult in pre-serialization oneshot
>turned into a wimpy effeminate beta boy in the actual series
I hate manga editors so much it's unreal

>>283144733
It has autobiographical elements to it since he was a part of that culture back then

>>283138844
Zebraman was a ride and a half. Kept flip-flopping in my mind on whether it was cool or really, really lame while I was reading it.

>>283146074
First chapter was enough for me to know it was gonna be undiluted kino. You can tell if something will be genuinely good or just self masturbation porn by its tone and art after a point.

>>283126446
>>283127751
I really liked this for its subgenre. Nice, self-contained and a good story arc. Good example of execution > concept. Although it definitely speaks to the
>Woman, what is best in life?
>To crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear their lamentations as you forgive them.
part of the female brain.

>>283133604
I don't think so, after the PoV switch. There wasn't anywhere else it could have gone that wouldn't have contradicted the whole story's point.

>>283113095 (OP)
>Any interesting ones you picked up and want to talk about?
I haven't really been reading much manga since both mangadex purge and comick.io died. I had all my bookmarks there like a retard.

Trying Suwayomi now with mangaupdates as list, but I barely understand how it works, and having to search individually in each separate web for the mangos I was reading is a dick in my pain, specially because a lot of the time they simply don't exist anywhere else.

Reading Fire Hot Aunt right now as it has ended. It has two lolis but they are never sexualized like the other girls.
We truly live in a winter for lolicons.

can someone pleeease recognize the manga from this cover i poorly tried to draw? T_T

from what i remember on the cover there were two adult men smiling, one of them is black

i think it's a comedy seinen but im not sure

I read all of Ayashimon in one evening, without knowing that it was axed. A little disappointing since I liked the concept of Yokai Yakuza, but the MC definitively didn't carry the story.
I'm also into Sengoku/Edo period samurai stories at the moment, I recently finished Reiri, Takeda Shingen and Yume Maboroshi no Gotoku.

>>283128012
>seeing girls shooting eachother is fun
In that case, definitely read Joshi Kouhei by the same author.

>>283132563
The POOL is nice, but very short.
Maybe Bokurano if you haven't read it already.

>>283136200
I'm trying to tell /a/ about this whenever I see a GitS thread, but most of the time nobody cares.
First arc was great, but the second one in Africa really dragged on

>>283146621
I don't know how the Mangaupdates sync works, but I use Tachiyomi (RIP) and sync character progress to an Anilist account I created just to track manga.
Before that I'd use MAL but they shut off all API calls from Tachiyomi. It probably works on Mihon or the newer forks.

I don't know what you're doing, but just add some title to your Suyayomi library and pick some source (i.e., manga site). If that source drops dead you can "migrate" to some other source in the client. Usually you can preserve progress seamlessly. It's a pain in the ass if you preemtively download shit for offline reading, but whatever.

>>283146911
Nick & Lever?

>>283146911
as the other anon said Nick & Lever

>>283117900
Just caught up to REAL recently, so I'm definitely feeling a craving for a little sappy but heartfelt wrestling drama.

>>283113095 (OP)
really glad someone picked this back up and that the releases are fast. now we need the hard and dog soldier to start getting releases again.

>>283147259
>>283147548
YES IT IS, thank you <3

>>283113095 (OP)
I learned of mado’s manga works after stumbling on his hentai.
Always liked his illustrations. Oddly enough I find his visuals to be in a weird spot between simple and complex. Kind of sets his works apart and gives him his own style.

Anybody else seen manga where the visuals are in this weird middle ground of simple but not bad but not really good either?

>>283148174
>but not really good either?
By that I don’t mean Miura levels of visual fidelity.

>>283148174
>but not really good either?
By that I don’t mean Miura levels of visual quality.

>>283146621
Can't you extract the xml file from those sites?
If you can just import them to any tracking site of your choosing
>>283147020
>The POOL
I'm waiting on the movie adaptation... Any minute now...
>>283147551
I love REAL, I really REALLY do. But the release rate is making it harder to remember events. Makes it seem like the story is meandering.

>>283146443
>There wasn't anywhere else it could have gone that wouldn't have contradicted the whole story's point.
I get what you mean but I disagree. For me this was more of an exploration of "stories" as a concept, and there is always more exploration that can be done. As it stands king and the MC being "monsters" feel incredibly tacked on to make a point or to just sell the stories to girls.
Continuing would break some of the full circleness of the story but in exchange it would also let it expand. Not to mention it could have gone the way of actual fairy tales and tell totally different stories with the same characters while fleshing everything more imho.

>>283128863

That's a tall order. How about:

It just has to mean an ending that makes me feel like I didn't waste my time reading the manga and made the experience worth my while, unlike a lot of recent big name manga that shit the bed at the finish line and left an absolutely sour taste in the mouths of fans who have been loyally reading for years.
I want to make sure my time investment in any manga is worth it.

Any tablet users here? Do you read manga with an IPS screen or OLED?

>>283151263
10~ inch IPS

>>283151403
Any specific brand and model you could recommend?

>>283151263
iPad, so OLED
Fuck IPS, black should be black, not gray

>Can't you extract the xml file from those sites?
>If you can just import them to any tracking site of your choosing
Yes, I did use a Mangadex and Comick thingy to get a file with my follows. But I don't know how to slap it to Sowayomi automagically. And going one by one would take me hours as I had more than thousand follows.

>>283147052
>I don't know what you're doing, but just add some title to your Suyayomi library and pick some source (i.e., manga site).
It makes me search the title of manga in a source site first, which then links to mangaupdates. So I need a site that has all my follows. Also read previous reply. Don't know how to automate it.

>>283147551
I can only read REAL when I'm okay with crying. I don't think I've ever read such a human manga.

Read War of the Adults, my beautiful hero Yutaro's manga.

>>283117975
its kinda kino but also a bit boring

Does anyone use the Mokuro web app to read manga?
https://reader.mokuro.app/
How do backups work? I'd like to save my progress and stats before I install W11 and a bunch of shit gets stored in Chrome profile.

Finally started reading oishinbo and its really good, no wonder it has so many volumes, and the story behind why is stoped being published is pretty wild.

Never imagined that it would be a food mangaka the one that will choose to figth with the goverment of japan.

>>283156389
Story?

>>283127201
>>283113095 (OP)
I wanted to start reading this, but god damn the reason why the MC decides to not treat his illesss is retarded.

>>283156404
Some time after the fukushina nuclear plant disaster the mangaka wrote a chapter of oishinbo where the main characters visited the area near the incident and started having nosebleeds, pretty much telling his huge audience that those symptoms were caused by the radiation even when the goverment claimed those areas near the plant were safe.

This caused a conmotion and shortly after in 2014 the magazine announced that oishinbo will enter an hiatus.

>>283156525
Ballsy but at the same time I don't get why a good mangaka is taking up the fight

>>283155741
Just don't install win11

>>283156584
>has audiences
>has means of conveying message

>>283157136
I'd be annoyed if everytime something happened they interrupted the story to preach
>Aircon repairman comes late
>Chainsaw man looks at the camera: "Every year 10,000 people die of heat stroke. Late repairs cost lives!"

>>283156584
>>283157180
The thing is that the mangaka experieced personally those symptoms of nosebleeding after visiting one of those towns near the Fukushima plant. He probably felt scared of the dangers of what he believed was radiation and wanted to warn other people, even when the japanese goverment had declared those areas safe places.

I just finished my second read through of Usogui, I basically read it back to back because I found myself not understanding a lot the first time but by the end feeling so in love and enticed with what I was reading that I just needed to go through it again from the start to truly appreciate the final few arcs.
Was even better the second time, and I ordered volumes 1-31 which just arrived today. Would love to hear some of your favorite moments. For me even though Air Poker and STL is peak fiction, nothing tops Tower of Karma. That’s how you do a major “war” arc that changes the status quo.

>>283142301
I wish Battle Scar is available online.

Bump

Holyland and Convict Colosseum are both amazing

>>283127738
Really good

>>283154060
What's the premise? Sell me on it.

I have no idea if Nikaidou Hell Golf is still getting updated TLs anywhere at this point...

This sounds neat!
>In this manga depicting a man among men, the mangaka himself is the protagonist. This autobiographical work describes his efforts when he aimed to become a politician. After taking a break from writing, he spends his days completely infatuated with golf. During this time, MITOMIYA Hiroshi overhears the conversation of some delinquent students while walking through town, and makes a life-changing decision. That decision was to announce that he will run in the national election for the House of Councillors. However, once his neighbors find out, they do everything they can to stop him...!?

man, I binge read it yesterday after this thread and now I'm sad that it's over. I want to see Sylph being happy for a few more chapters

>>283156389
It was wild learning that this was the 13th most selling manga of all time
>>283156421
He made it clear he prioritizes his passion over his life. It's dumb but it makes sense for him to do that
>>283162555
Will spoil the first chapter twist so I suggest going in blind but
>Kid who nearly got isekai'd wakes up from a coma and learn that Japan started classifying adulthood based on good deads, through establishing a 24/7 surveillance state, and he's partly to blame for that. Now he tries to expose how the system is corrupt.
A big part of how good it is is Yutaro himself. He's a based retard. And acts like an actual adult despite being 15 mentally in the body of a 30 year old. He also has moments where the immaturity comes out but they are actually endearing instead of annoying. While slowly learning about the world around him.
Also, checked!

>>283121945
Might I recommend Kippo. It has some sequels but is written in such a way you that you can read it without having read those. Or even if you've only read 1.

>>283156555
Someone called it fantasy S.T.A.L.K.E.R and yeah, that's more or less it.

thank you for making this thread, super refreshing to see actual good manga discussion and not the garbage that plagues 99% of this board

i recently went on a jiro matsumoto binge and i'm looking for other series like joshikouhei or freesia, some real mind-bending shit

i also really like mindgame stuff like usogui or liar game if anyone knows other series like them

>>283164184
Did you read Régiment?

>>283164235
i'm too retarded to read japanese

>>283164184
>some real mind-bending shit
Anything by Keiichi Koike

>>283164184
>Jiro matsumoto
Try Hideo Yamamoto manga if you haven't. Homunculus and ichi the killer are pretty similar to freesia imho.

>>283164334
will check it out

>>283164341
i read homunculus and ichi the killer, i love this shit, will check out hideo yamamoto's stuff

>>283164341
>i read homunculus and ichi the killer
I would recommend Atsushi Kaneko manga too in that case. Most know him for soil but wet moon is a better start of his shit imho.

I finished reading everything Tsutomu Nihei ever made and it was all kino except the ending of Biomega which confused the fuck out of me and I cant even find an explanation of what happened online.

>>283164319
Then you're part of the reason for garbage manga discussion.

>>283164553
go browse 2chan then faggot

>>283113095 (OP)
I don't lurk enough to know if Bibliomania is worth a whole thread, but there's that. I started it because I loved the artstyle and stayed for pretty much everything else, too. I actually learnt about it on a thread about cool spreads and pic showed up.

Am i really the only remaining old man in this board that has read this manga ? i know is an old title, but it has its charm

>>283164341
seconding Ichi the killer, it's a cool read

>>283113095 (OP)
I love Angel Densetsu.

>>283164581
Why don't you go there if you hate this board so much?

>>283165004
unironically, best school romance story ever told in manga

>>283156555
I will keep a close eye on this, Touge Oni is an excellent manga so I look forward to seeing what the author does with a new manga.
Recently read Subaru to Suu-san which is probably one of the best romances I've read, It doesn't explore the plot device very deeply, which some might consider a flaw, but i found that no attempt being made at explaining it was better. As the story focused more on the characters and the nuances of their strange situation made it much more compelling than trying to shoehorn in some reasoning as to why it occurs. It was very sweet and the main couple are delightful, especially since it's not some generic high school romance.
>>283150580
Spirit Circle is peak, I pray no anime adaption like Biscuit Hammer happens to it.

>>283113095 (OP)

Too real.

>>283164665
What is it about?
>>283165606
I love Subaru. It's a comfy manga with well-written emotional moments.

I haven't seen Yomi no Tsugai discussed on /a/ even once.

>>283156555
I like it, but there really isn't much to discuss yet with 3 chapters in 6 months.

>>283167409
Isn't it monthly?
https://comic-days.com/episode/2550912965469911415
Or are you talking about Touge Oni?

>>283167409
It's up to chapter 6 now, but it was part of the mangadex purge and it seems the translator just quit instead of uploading them somewhere else.

>>283113095 (OP)
I think that Volundio is probably the best on-going fantasy manga.
Really great series, lots of heart, a well balanced cast.

Recently read Renjoh Desperado without realizing it wasn't finished in translations. Badass samurai girl with a mechanical gun arm hunting for a husband. Kinda goofy with a really cool American West/Meiji Era aesthetic

>>283164650
I liked it for the art and old school vibes, but didn't really care for the ending/ The whole resolution kinda made it so it didn't really have a plot, just a bunch of random vignettes. Very Kino no Tabi

Best ongoing manga right now.

>>283167484
>>283167485
I'm an eternal dekinai so that's 3 chapters for me ;_;
Maybe I can find an /a/non willing to translate it in one of the other fantasy series threads

>>283167766
>best on-going fantasy manga
For me it's a tie between Magus of the Library and Bugle Call
It would be the Witch and the Beast but that's on hiatus possibly forever

>>283167766
Is this related to helck?

>>283168784
It is a spin off of unknown connection.
You can't tell if its a prequel, sequel, happening at the same time in a different location, or just an alternate universe from the first.

Wasn't expecting much of a showing but, man. Nature's such a jobber. It better team-up with the Mystery Tree if it wants to stay relevant in the fight.

This stupid, poorly-drawn Nagatoro-fox has caused more neuron activations in me than a lot of far better-looking ecchi. I don't know how she does it.

When the one that is completely dense to the feeliings of others is a female character, it irritates me a lil. But it is still fun.

he's literally me

Writing summaries is really an art, rigth now im reading this "Yuria-sensei no Akai Ito", something that i would not normally touch just looking at the art but the summary really sounded interesting:

"Fifty-year-old Yuria has a quiet life teaching embroidery classes in her home, where she lives with her writer husband and his mother. Then one day her world is turned upside down when husband has a subarachnoid hemorrhage and upon arriving at the hospital, Yuria is met by a tearful young man who announces that he is her husband's lover"

>>283170952
>manga blurbs
For me, it's
>The story of a charming girl cursed to need the bathroom whenever she's nervous, and a reclusive boy with a special power that helps her hold it in.
>Last-minute adventures.
or
>“School is a bit suffocating.”
>16-year-old high school girl Yonagi Fuji lives and sleeps in her car, but only in the backyard of her house because she doesn't have a driver's license. She wants to sleep in her car wherever she likes. Then, she meets a cheery girl from the same school who has a driver's license, Ichinose Asahi?
>A story that, if you read it, you'll definitely want to sleep in your car!? The curtain opens on a new and exciting high school girl × car-sleeping hobby life manga!!

>>283169364
>Smash up: the manga
Seems fun

I got instantly hooked on Tokyo Kinoko because I am horribly weak to gap moe, plus I like the art. Remains to be seen if it will develop much of a plot, there's certainly interesting directions it could go.

How old were you when you stopped coping and accepted that soulful color is objectively superior to black and white cost-cutting?

>>283171770
Color can be fine but I still prefer black and white. Especially over afterthought publisher coloring.

Any manga you're expecting to get an anime at some point?
Welcome Ghost Mansion sells well and has enough popularity. It even ranked twice in the Tsugi Manga awards. I'm surprised it has none yet.

>>283158034
I wish I could read moonrunes... this is one of the few series where understanding exactly what kanji say changes everything.

>>283171770
Full color series have too few pages per month and there's still publishers that convert them to greyscale.

>>283172354
>one of the few
Seems fairly common to me. Not sure why some illiterate thinks he knows better.

>>283172309
Quite a few. Though there have been plenty of series where I expected it that ended without one and some series I didn't expect ended up getting one.

>>283113095 (OP)
I just re-read Jagaaan, nearly 5 years after it ended (can't fucking believe this) and it's still as much a wet fart as I remember. Horrific waste of a great concept and ended so bad that it ended ANY chance of an anime adaptation.

>>283121945
>Jumbo Max (murder mystery about pharmacist who makes ED pills)
I dropped this because some of the story developments border on rage bait and the pace was slow anyway.

Heisei defeated soldier sumire chan has become one of my favorite comedy manga. Im in love with these pathetic women.

>>283169853
Raw fucking charisma

>>283164692
great manga but it does drag on in parts and having watched the film the final confrontation is incredibly inferior to that and loses all its power. Homunculus was great but shat the bed near the end too. Still great works though but felt like stating this.

>>283175784
He excels in it as was obvious from the sex scenes but man did his skill in regards to all else go to crap midway through Jagaan.

>>283176206
No thoughts inside of that head.

>>283176964
What is this one about?

>>283179328
Girls that are saddled with debt of some sort are sent on interdimensional suicide missions to a destroyed cityscape to collect various relics, they encounter weird reality warping entities that mean them hard. I called it S.T.A.L.K.E.R like but it has some Tarkov in it too since extracting with their haul is a big plot point

Just read this and now I want to punch the Dad

Bumping with a bit of info I just learned.
The last volume of the official EN translation for Houseki no Kuni is coming out in 2 weeks.
Veil has an official TL as well, and volume 3 is coming out by the end of the year. It's a pretty nice edition apparently.

>>283148174
>Anybody else seen manga where the visuals are in this weird middle ground of simple but not bad but not really good either?
I love finding series like this

Here's some finished series that I think fit the criteria
No Guns Life
Girl from the outside
Shiro Ali
Asebi and the adventures in sky world

>>283179455
NTA but that sounds interesting.

>>283117975
I've been reading since chapter 1 and really liking it.

>>283181571
I hope they reprint veil vol 1. Should have bought it when it was available...

>>283113095 (OP)
It's kind of similar to Angel Densetsu at first, but not really.

bumpan because I think this is a gud thread

>>283184312
Unfortunately it's been like three months since the last scanlation but I recommend it since the last translated arc is a pretty intense one

>>283126535
>5-6 pages of several chapters were literally spent on cooking and recipe preparations
I really wish they'd stop hyping up cooking curry, everyone in japan took home-ec, it's not that impressive that any particular japanese person would know how to cut vegetables and meat and add in some curry mix powder. And it's always the same thing, cubed vegetables, meat and a packet of curry powder mix.

>>283187898
Hell Japanese curry is glorified beef stew anyway (still fucking good) making actual Indian style can be a fucking pain in the ass, but worth it

>>283171123
>Baby Shachuhackers

>Blue heaven
It was a nice short read, but the Asians vs the World angle was weird. I think it could have been better if it was just about the security chief trying to catch the psycho without alerting the passengers.

I'm surprised Magus of the Library isn't a bigger cult hit. Great story, Amazing art and aesthetic, and genuine Tolkien levels of worldbuilding autism.

>>283113095 (OP)
Been trying to read this but the school arc is just so boring since its one genre i absolutely despise. Can I just skip to when the original author left and the artist took over or will that ruin the manga?

I love Ane no Tomodachi.
One of the unknown romcoms here that are great.

>>283192075
the school arc is so short, it's not super important but it's not hard to get through

>>283192075
the school arc is good and doesn't resolve how you'd expect something of that genre to resolve.

>>283166194
There were threads when the scanlation was active, also when the anime got announced

>>283192245
Looks like teasing ecchi crap with a vegetarian MC.
How is it great or different to the retarded male-centric romcoms that all the /opt/ faggots post nonstop just because they see tits and some sexy panel?

>>283191360
It's still hard to really keep a community active when translations come around once a year. Even on /a/ we might get a solid week of discussion and theorycrafting but it only goes so far.

>>283192914
I thought most hardcore manga readers here knew Japanese.

>>283193044
テラワロス

>>283158034
Finally somebody bringing usogui up.
I have actually started a second readthrough too, after finishing the manga last year.
One thing i want to say is that i dont get people who call abandoned mine the worst arc in the series. Sure, baku finding out about the cameras was complete bullshit, and after the trick was found Sadakuni looked like a total bitch, but to be honest it's probably the most soulful arc in the series and the first proper usogui arc. If someone asked me what usogui is about, i would give them picrel, Marco beating minowa, and the spread of baku and lalo thinking about their hands in air poker.
The worst arc to me is labyrinth. Everything baku does there is complete bullshit, the quality of the art plummets so hard that it you have to wait until KY declaration for it recover, and sako himself admitted that he made stuff up on the spot to keep the story going weekly.
My favorite gamble is battleship, even if the container search souichi goes on and the fighting sequences that follow are a bit unnecessary and awkward.

>>283190766
>but the Asians vs the World angle was weird.
yea but it was pretty funny, japs being dramatic is one of the reasons i love manga in the first place

Been enjoying Mitsuishi-San, fun slice of life romcom with strange undertones and somewhat surreal. Found a couple other new Manga to read thanks to this thread too

I don't know why I'm still reading this shit.

Anyone else having issues with mangadex right now?

>>283194949
I made sure to make a copy of my reading list and downloaded every manga I read. I'm certain that mangadex will go down permanently or turn into a western webcomic only site eventually.

You're confused because you have no clue what good storytelling looks like. You're just into "better life in a fictionlandia" simulator slop deluding yourself it's peak fiction.

>>283200024
Then go and read Natsu no Zenjitsu.

>>283198735
I don't even think you read the first volume if this was your take-away from Theo's early years. Especially because Sedona and the rest weren't merchants and Theo being discriminated against is well founded (he's poor and mixed with a race that almost got genocided).

There's nothing wrong with a character getting the call to adventure either. He was like 7yo when the story started and got pushed towards a life path that lets him engage with the rest of the story. That's storytelling 101.

>>283136551
It's a beautiful manga.
>>283138567
The sequel is fun but it has a really rough start if you're starting fresh after finishing the first Kurosawa. Asides from that, the final arc, which hasn't been fully translated yet, has a habit of dragging on as is typical in most FKMT works.

FKMT-related, FKMTkrazy dropped a Nikaidou chapter a month ago. I plan on dumping it once they drop a few more chapters a few more months down the line. Judging from the raws, Nikaidou is doing pretty well in the PGA tests but has been a total fuckup along the way.

>>283202780
>Nikaidou
Are they uploading it to any aggregators or do they just upload on their own site now? Do they even have a site? Last I checked was a dead blogspot that hadn't updated in years.

>>283202645
what kind of horror manga you want?

>>283203099
The kind where Paranormal things happen, but they're not treated as something the MC necessarily has to *resolve*, if that makes sense?
For example I enjoy Ura baito, Nikubami Honegishimi, the creepy and freaky and The Urban Legend Files.
But they're all ongoing, so something already finished would be nice.

Ghosts vs JK is fine too, like Mieruko or Furyou Taimashi Reina.

>>283203434
Shibito no Koe wo Kiku ga Yoi was a fun one for me its also finished though its a cliffhanger ending but it kinda of felt fitting considering the setting

Has anyone read Sukedachi 9?
It's a story where Instead of just getting the death penalty, the worst criminals are executed in the same way they killed their victims.
It's about as nuanced as you'd expect from a japanese story about the death penalty.

Also the author is Kishimoto's twin brother, which I find funny for some reason.

>>283203082
They upload to cubari now.

I liked Ai and Makoto, from the writer of Ashita no Joe. I hate that the scanlators abandoned it after the first 15 chapters. No updates since last year. Machine translation helped fill the gaps but it's no substitute for actually learning moonrunes.

>Would love to hear some of your favorite moments
Every glimpse into Baku's past because it's so intriguing. He was a vagrant gambler since his early teens so where did he come from? Who are his parents? Maybe he's the son of some crime family, and maybe that was kept secret to him. Maybe he found out and that revealed his lie complex and gave him underground connections.

Something like that.

>>283208303
I don't read runes dipshit

>>283203853
This manga felt like a cry for help. Like the officer would have a different perspective were he not forced to believe what he believes by the system he lives in. Obviously that's the point but it hurt to read a bit.

>>283193562
Mm that arc is pretty good, and much longer than the previous arcs. Maybe that's why it feels like a drag for some.
Because let's be honest, Usogui's pacing during gambles is sloooooow.

>>283138844
>>283146074
Starts reading this but what the fuck is this cuck shit?

PTSD Radio, which I still considered it one of the best horror anthologies in existence, and far from the usual "in your face" shock value shit your average horror manga tries to do and instead follows a more subtle narrative that you have to follow between each chapter. It may also have cursed the author of the manga at the process, which add some bonus points to the whole thing.

>>283209176
Thats what happens when you don't settle your shit black and white in time. Its sad I can't recommend it here more because thats the exact reaction people will have

>>283208720
Then don't complain about a series with monthly updates not updating.

>later on during the climax scene, the mc's ex-crush goes on a trite about how it's the men's fault that their partner cheat

You can't convince me this isn't written by someone with a cuck fetish.

>>283209615
>showcases that woman are self destructive retards that get easily swayed by bad actors
>the whole manga is about how the MC was a weak willed faggot that never showed a spine since he was like 8
>"this is only here for the authors fetish"
You can't convince me this post was not written by someone that has cuck fetish on his mind 24/7.

But let me engage you in an actually genuine matter anon. The whole point of the manga is about PEOPLE running away from painfull confrontations one way or another and the pitfalls this eventually brings to their life. Characters only talk about their own experiences and their own reflections. When the MC takes responsibility for his wife its not because he is actually the sole responsible party for the situation but because he realizes his mistakes and wants confront and fix things whatever the cause or result may be (hence the "settled it black and white"). MC's old crush is never the mouthpiece of the author either, she is as much of a guild ridden selfish retard as most of the other characters are.
On that note this is a series pretty similar to kurosawas where if you don't want to engage with what they are talking about you will just make retarded greentext posts while missing their whole points.

>>283210089
Nice try. The page you posted is way before the mc's crush retarded take on cheating.

>When the MC takes responsibility for his wife its not because he is actually the sole responsible party for the situation but because he realizes his mistakes and wants confront and fix things

Kek imagine trying to defend cheaters and whores.

>>283113095 (OP)
Open question: what's the most unhinged plot point you can think of in a manga? One that was played completely straight as part of the story. It's got to be this, right?

I love Gantz so fucking much

>>283113095 (OP)
>Let's discuss manga that can't sustain their own threads
Like Medalist?

>>283210545
Eh this is only a tabboo in USA for some reason. It's just disguise.

To answer your question it's probably the Ali Jr. arc in Baki for two reasons
1. It's really the son of Mohammad Ali
2. He repeatedly keeps getting jumped by the main cast even when walking on crutches because "real fights happen at any time and this isn't sports"

>>283210665
Anon, I'm not even referring to the 'taboo' part.

It's a Japanese man putting on makeup to appear as a black man so he can go gun down nearly 400 civillians and force his ex-teammates to kill him so he can go back to the magic room in the afterlife and kill more aliens. All of this is meant to be taken 100% seriously.

>>283210545
Every plot point of 14. And I am not even exaggerating

>>283209183
i wonder if the author might have the gus to go back to it, it was one of the feels mangas i actually felt a bit anxious in a weird way while reading

>>283210952
Nobody is taking Gantz seriously

>>283211102

>>283200218
If chapter one opens with a bland protagonist getting victimized the writer is incapable of writing a good story no matter how hard you try to rationalize it. It's one of those red flag that makes the (lack of) quality of a fictional work immediately apparent to anyone with standards.

>>283209299
>Its sad I can't recommend it here more because thats the exact reaction people will have
Shit like this is unironically why Shonen, and the most easy to consume version of it, reigns supreme on /a/. Fuckers here are allergic to controversy, they like edge instead which can be easily mistaken for a controversial topic.

It's not. There's no such thing as a universally bad story beat or premise, just bad execution. To prove that it's bad you need to explain why it's bad in this case specifically and you won't be able to do that I imagine.

>>283211023

Is the manga still loli suffering? I dropped because I couldn't stomach so many crying lolis.

>>283218240
For real. It was like watching the 2024 Olympic Women's Skateboarding again, where 85% of it was children falling and sobbing after having their dreams crushed in front of the entire world.

>It was like watching the 2024 Olympic Women's Skateboarding again, where 85% of it was children falling and sobbing after having their dreams crushed in front of the entire world.
Now I'm curious to watch it if it is true.

There's still suffering and crying, yes. But hopefully Inori has learned to take the losses a little bit better. We'll see after her upcoming defeat.

>>283218686
>There's still suffering and crying, yes.
But I don't like suffering and crying lolis. I like happy and genki lolis, even if they are a bit bi.

Bump for suffering crying little girls.

Re-reading Witchcraft Works. As when I was reading it it went on hiatus.
The plot gets a bit clusterfuckery and there's a shitton of character that are there just to be there.
But the moral of the story seems to be "protecc loli and when she grows up she will protecc you".

This title is a lil boring, but the main couple are so adorable i have to continue reading

>>283221204
Goddamit. Since the mangadex purge saucenao is useless.
Got the sauce(wanted to die so found a yandere) throuhg fucking google lens.

I highly doubt it, the poor guy got scared for life. Besides he could always continue Fuan no Tane, which is similar in tone to PTSD Radio but, ironically, didn't trigger all the shit that happened to him.

>>283221709
He still doing fuan no tane its monthly

This shit is the most goated martial arts manga I've ever read in my life. The biggest con that filtered a lot of people is that it doesn't have really much of a plot but the comedy, the fight scenes and character dynamics are great. Never really seen anything like it. It's like if you mixed Grand Blue and Baki I'm not even joking with this, one guy is so fed up that his grandpa is grooming some random brazilian into marrying his sister that in the MMA match he fucking fire jutsus him in the face. Also it has a gay rapist bjj guy. Sucks that I don't think anybody has read it here.

It's been on my backlog since forever. After reading Teppuu and All Rounder Meguru, both with an unexpected and unsatisfying ending, I stopped caring about fighting manga tbqh.

>>283222045
i dont technically read it, since what i do is that everytime a new chapter is published i just like to pass the pages to see the dumb sex and cucking scenes. It is such a garbage manga

>>283222262
i don't care this scene made me orgasm so much.
also it's a little weird when it's always just "teasing' with main girl but then in the latest chapters she's literally licking people's balls and i mean..... oh no she doesn't get fucked in the vagina but licking other people's balls is fine?

>>283222191
>both with an unexpected and unsatisfying ending
haha funny. you won't with this one either. imagine my surprise when reading the sequel manga AND THERE'S YET ANOTHER "welp here's the ending I guess"

tbf this one doesn't have much of a plot at all so it's not like you'll be expecting much.

This used to be more popular back in the day, but I still considered one of the few manga with such a whiplash of emotions that no other story could compare. And all of this started with a simple ecchi comedy premise.

>>283200218
Every time I reread magus volume 1, I appreciate how fucking good it is. The setup, world building, and the parallels.

Thankfully, the fans are still loyal.
The artist gets quite a lot of request to draw lewds of this series on his Skeb.

>>283228289
Isn't that fairly normal for any series that doesn't immediately drop dead and goes on for a bit?

>>283227882
Why does it matter? Does the bully revenge shit hurt you in any way?
Other people seem to enjoy producing it and there's enough buyers to support them.

>>283127738
In Japan, people hate not only weeds but also cigarettes, so perhaps because of the backlash, the number of cartoons that smoke is increasing.

>>283230263
Yeah it's pretty normal for series to get cancelled because their numbers drop

>>283230431
It’s just that people who smoke smell like garbage, so it’s hard to think of them as human.
In fiction you don't need to smell, so they are cool

I read this! I thought it was really cool too. Mayb the Ippo of Karate in how it shows off the martial art. It was cool that they competed in kickboxing tournaments too which is were most serious fighting karate guys go. Okinawa arc was probably my favorite. Personally I thought the spin-off sequel concluded the story fine.

I wouldn't call nature a jobber, parasites excel against unaware biology and this is the weakest of the various forests.. There's a lot more we haven't seen yet; didn't some aliens disappear inside one? Robots have been jobbing since chapter 2, and just recently had a very respectable showing. i wouldn't count out forest just yet.
>>283171213
A lot of fun, but it's juggling a couple storylines on a monthly schedule. It's well paced chapter-by-chapter and a blast to binge, but what I'd give for it to be bi weekly

>>283231801
Not that I know of.

>>283221939
It has decent art and fight scenes but besides the lackluster plot the MC is highly uninteresting and the humor is ass (get it, hemerroids and anal rape?). The only good joke is at the end of the sequel: a Japanese heavy weight champion in not-UFC.

>>283191360
Lately the recent chapters kinda drags it out, but the older ones were still incredible when I re-read it. It's still worth the read and follow nonetheless. I was stunned when that title drop came up while Cynthea was jumping around the library. Up to this day I also still adore this page (and many more) so much because of the way he structured the panels + art. I catched some of the author's live stream and he sadly said he would lose motivation sometimes, so he would only draw during the times he is passionate (hence the frequent breaks). Really sucks since we're probably not even 1/3 done. If in the worse case scenario it gets cancelled, I can only wish he would continue by making a web novel so that I can enjoy the things he had in mind.

Shiyakusho - It's about managing the afterlife by the employees and the stories of people that die. It is the best for the absurd atmosphere.

Can't remember two cyberpunk titles. One was Isekai before the Isekai fad, spaceship crashing on planet and the hibernated protag waking up getting rescued by the lady wearing enhancements like Edge of Tomorrow. Other was about licking body parts to charge the cybernetics to oppose monsters, had 2 teams of 2 males and 2 females. Anyone knows?

>>283236562
A warning for Shiyakusho. Fucking translation takes ages.

>>283233146
almost everything here has an english translation, if I knew japanese I would be hunting for stuff to read constantly, just like I did when I became fluent in French and Indonesian. It's too dangerous.

Maybe that's for the best, Tanaka Kuu's strength is creating an interesting setting but he sucks at writing longer stories.

I'm in love with Abe's artstyle

>>283237197
A lotta doujin lol, some indos are really into manga. I read a bunch of history books but the most interesting ones are often translated from Dutch. The most enjoyable non-fiction read I had was the Buru Quartet books, but it's a bit like reading the O'Brien cycle where you have to pause every few pages to look up a place or term. Mostly I read manga in indonesian I couldn't find in English, that took up a huge amount of time, which is why I decided not to do Japanese also Indonesian is a thousand times easier, although I still struggle with some words and the knowledge that a lotta people there apparently don't even use Bahasa everyday, preferring regional dialects

>>283237352
>also Indonesian is a thousand times easier,
How do you know that if you never learned Japanese? For me Japanese was the easiest language to learn aside from English.

>>283235773
I too am one of the few that like Yona Yona Yona quite a lot. Many just weren't paying attention, or maybe unwilling to notice the pacing of events, that volume 1 was setting the stage and volume 2 was executing the main heist taking place over 1 night so they're like what is even going on most of the time. A prominent complaint was pacing because of stomach namek during the break months of the magazine, even though it was only 2 chapters and dealing with the final boss.
But even then, it's a work of many unrealized potentials. It was his first foray into a more action oriented piece and it left you wanting for more, in that there was almost always not enough since he was struggling with it a lot in production. Comedy and subtle yet impactful character chemistry are definitely his strongest crafts.
And even though the story was meant to be short to begin with, probably 3 - 4 volumes at most and they seemed to have been readying for a new serialization from him afterwards, it was cut anyway and he stopped publishing there, leaving things the more awkward the more towards the end you get. The emotional hit that was supposed to be building up to Hakone and Sumizumi's past didn't get a chance to be presented at all.
It's one I always get sad thinking about and glad when someone else mentions liking. The best timeline would've had him continue delivering masterpieces in glorious Aokishi B5+ print.

Homunculus was something I read all the way back around 2011 and just binged it. I was in high school but somehow found myself relating to the MC way too much, like the part where one of the homeless guys talks to him about him being too young to only stare at his feet while walking really hit home for me

Will this ever get a full fantranslation? The mangaka can be a bit tryhard and edgy sometimes, but it actually fits this manga well, unlike her other works (Kami no CAVEIRA, Koko wa ima kara rinri desu).

I looked up the first scanlator I used and I think manga has been perfected back in 2003

>>283237503
Because I've studied Chinese for 5 years in junior high and that was hard as fuck, Indonesian uses an alphabet I've grown up with, has no conjugation of verbs, plural is just the word twice, it's one of the easiest languages in the world to pick up if you're just looking for a basic grasp of it. I'm very bad with memorization and typically only start truly improving with a language once I'm good enough to start reading and watching stuff without my notes to help me. Overall I just don't enjoy the language learning process, if I can't absorb it through media I give up fast.

you missed the point spee d. reader kun, you have to attain a certain level of literacy before you can start stumbling through even the easiest stuff, I'm not devoted enough to get there for harder languages. Anyways this is off-topic and going nowhere, I'm going back to reading manga.

>>283244969
>I'm going back to reading manga.
You literally can't read manga without knowing Japanese. You're just deluding yourself thinking you get anywhere close to the real experience.
You'd do best ignoring manga entirely if you are too afraid of getting too much into it.

>>283245056
>afraid
>delude

Just lazy, anon. Please try harder. Also I'm reading manga right now, keep seething lol.

Anyone else following Gyakusatsu Happy End: Ao no Sho ?

i honestly dont remember reading another manga where so many characters commit sudoku at diferent points of the story

>>283245457
I just finished reading the new chapter

>>283171123
I started reading Baby Shachuuhackers, but I think making them high schoolers was a mistake. It limits the story too much.

>>283245643
Nah. Adults just wagecuck and solve all their hobby problems with money. JK that need to get creative clear.

>>283245729
They could have been jobless ronins.

>>283245457
What chapter is this?

>>283118066
I've owned both volumes for over 20 years lol
It had a few great threads on here when the site was young, it's really fucking funny.

>>283246002
the first chapter

i need to finish reading Azumi

>>283227427
I read Bio-Meat a few weeks ago too. I was surprised by how into it I got. It helps that the series is a monster survival that has virtually no fat on it.

>>283193670
I'm invested solely because I need to know if its just clumsily meta or if it really is "kill all immigrants"

>>283246564
Holy fuck I was looking for this! Mind if I put it on AB or is there a reason it's not on there?

>>283246723
I dunno if it's really worth distributing. It's a good effort but the original italian translation just isn't very good. I saw a lot of issues with it comparing it to the Japanese during the storytime.

>>283246723
Just wait for the official English.

>>283242495
Reading another manga about succubus bully revenge.

anyone read the offical baki translations? thinking now might be the time to get into it

>>283242626
Some of the pages still stick with me. Like Nomiya crying about wanting to be a good person
>>283244709
I love my socially inept heroine.
>>283246564
God bless Italian anon for the storytime. He stuck to his word to the end.

>>283248425
I'm actually reading something else Itagaki related

>>283113095 (OP)
read one of those chapters of phoenix, this bird is an asshole.

>>283246237
What do you read next after you finish reading Azumi?
How about Gambare-genki which was as popular as Ashita no Joe?

I never see Ayumi Tachihara manga on /a/. Yakuza manga in general need more love.

>>283206180
we are on the cusp of AR glasses that live translate to English perfectly.
I'd be willing to bet that tech is perfected before I could learn Japanese.

Does anyone know what happened to Venus puts fur on me? That shit was so fucking kino and I hate how the fan translation stops halfway through.

>>283248425
man I dont wanna re-read 10,000 chapters just so I know what "recap" meant.

>>283250630
tbf the third arc is probably the best and then it just all goes down from there

Still can't believe nobody has picked up 迷宮クソたわけ. To be fair there are like 4 different versions of it which goes to show how popular it is in nipland apparently, but not a single version of it has been picked up by any English scanlators, official or otherwise.

>Bump limit
/a/nons still read manga. That's good to hear.
G'night and see you next time!

>>283246237
Me too, I got to a point where it was too exciting and I had to take a break. That was eight years ago lol

>>283251137
>>283246237
Same, it's one of those mangas I need to start from the beginning since I forgot everything

One of the best threads in a long long while. Cheers anons

I read a couple of chapters of a fantasy series where a girl slave fights in a coliseum, is sold but escapes after the wagon she was traveling with got overturned. She lives with an old lady in a forest hut, but gets turned away again after she kills a bunch of bandits and scares the lady. She goes ahead to a city after that.
Anyone know which one I'm talking about? Can't find it in my history...

>>283251369
Jumidoro, maybe.
Unironically try ChatGPT.

>>283251950
That's it, cheers. Haven't thought about that, good idea

>>283251150
Yup, same, otherwise I struggle to get invested again
