Kono Oneesan wa Fiction desu!? END

Mediocre ending for a forgettable manga. Very by the books, thought it was nice that the MC actually ended up dating the other girl.

Another series that is generic and horrible. Again, I'm not trying to insult your taste cause I like things others wouldn't but man do I hate them...

Also,
I read an NTR that's breaking my heart right now.

It's a solid series with a fun gimmick of comic book heroes which helps distinguish itseld from the rest. And while I can understand the "generic" point of view (the series does play it safe so far, though it's still fairly early by shounen standards), I really can't agree with calling it horrible, there's nothing particularly subpar about it that would make the series deserving of that adjective.

Which NRT?

Maybe it reminded him of this.....

Why he may not like it.😌

Joking aside I could see why one may come to that especially if you read a lot of Shonen, you may just get burnt out on it.

Saw Naruto the Last. I'm a bit disappointed.


I don't think most of mangaGAF would like it.

Why is that? Did it suck that bad?
 
Is Reiroukan Still Alive? 12

Let's skip some steps and talk about MARRIAGE!

Who knew his family would be so much fun.

Hey, he's 20! Back in the day he'd be old enough to have a few kids.

Feeling old now.

Saw Naruto the Last. I'm a bit disappointed.


I don't think most of mangaGAF would like it.

But would we like to hate it?

Attack on Titan
After 40+ or so chapters, I finally see some improvement. Boring no longer. Better than bleach.
Odd, people opinion on the series tends to be the opposite.

Can't say I know of that series.
I can understand being burned out of shounen and even calling it generic, I just disagree on the horrible part.
 
Alright ill bite.

What were 2nd anf 1st worst throws that this one is the 3rd?

Attack on Titan
After 40+ or so chapters, I finally see some improvement. Boring no longer. Better than bleach.

I'm suprised you see an improvement because I thought the Politic arc was Attack on Titan's weakest arc. I mean most would agree, but I guess it's different for everybody.
 
Seven Deadly Sins

I really like this manga. Wayyy superior than Fairy Tail, IMO.

King's power is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Love the spear.

Kono Oneesan wa Fiction desu!?

Also love this one. Grounded, natural, and the MC is way better than the likes of Raku or any other stupid bone-headed leads like him, despite his young age.
 
Well I liked Naruto before the timeskip. I'm pretty sure most of Manga-Gaf liked Naruto in the beginning, it's just that the timeskip ruined everything.
Fair enough. I disagree but that's only because I'm biased and read Naruto from middle school to college. It literally was part of my Wednesday or Thursday morning routine.

Did you catch up to recent chapters? It quite good. Fairy Tail has potential but is marred by Hiro's friendship haxs. Although the last arc wasn't completely overrun by that.
 
It just felt like another Naruto movie to me. Just nothing special

i did not like the confession scene or how weak they made Hinata.
Wedding stuff was just weird from the villain.

The Naruto movies were never good to begin with in my opinion. I guess they wanted to play it safe.

I wanted to see the movie myself but it was instantly sold out in NY.
 
Well, there isn't much to say about tropes so far since the main one is perseverance. That is a general motif in shounen. The series is still young.

As for characters, do you mean their personalities or designs?

I have no basis, which makes me an idiot for saying what I said. I'll pick it back up and start reading it.

But...

I'm sorry Droplet-kun, let me offer my virtual bow to you, begging for forgiveness.

Damn Kono ended? I really liked that manga and thanks for spoiling it ;_;

Also, I was in a foul mood and sadly and subtly took it out on the awesome people that post here. I plan to pick it back up again since my argument has no basis.

I forget the name but its 14 chapters, if I'm not mistaken. The husband couldn't have intercourse with his wife in the first chapter, that he has known since his childhood, and asked her to start sleeping with other men. The wife couldn't comprehend it until she started thinking more and more about it, which led her to fantasizing it. It started off with him just hearing his wife has sex with other men to eventually start seeing it and getting off on it. I reached the last chapter and the idea of the wife complying so easily down the line with somebody else and seeing the mixed expressions from the husband just broke my spirit. The things that were done so happily in front of this guy... I imagined myself in that situation, obviously not with the same fetish, and it just destroyed me. I almost felt like crying cause it sucks to get cheated on. Sucks even more when you see your spouse enjoying it behind your back ;_;
 
I was never a Naruto/Bleach/OP/Magi fan, so there's no shounen-sized hole in my heart that needs to be filled by some SJ series. That's probably a good thing for me.
 
Kono Onee-san wa Fiction desu!? - Final - And it ends, with a happy ending I guess. Though one that avoids all the teasing and setup from the beginning. Which makes me feel a bit cheated.

Girls of the wilds 177 - Oh boy. So does Jaegu win on a technicality now?

Upto chapter 60 now.


I guess different strokes for different folks because from beginning till around 25 to 30 I'm surprised anyone would continue reading after the first 5 chapters. bad pacing and trying too much too fast. there were some bright spots but it felt like I was reading rushed writing by a 12 year fanfic writer who was wasting potential by tryimg to hard to impress someone rather than keeping it true to him/herself.

After that mark, story got better but then it became boring because oversaturation from previous chapters. Trying too much too quick only hurts in the long run.

Politics arc? It's like author heard my complaints and addressed them the best way he/she could. It has been an utter thrill for me to read. I am no longer bored or disappointed. I actually look forward to what happens next. and my two faves Levi and hanji redeem the manga time and again through their quirky lunacy. my kind of nuts. The character development has never been better, and though some moments were cliche, i wouldn't have any other way. Maybe I'm a sucker for proper political bs even if cliche but done right and its a god damn masterpiece.

I said this was barely better than bleach. I was clearly too quick to conclude to such nonsense. Clearly as good as Naruto or Trigun. Just for the political arc alone I would put it from its previous c rank tier and move it immediately to my A rank tier. I was blown away by the politic arc. legit shook even.

I thought I was gonna regret picking up AoT. but this arc alone redeems it for me. fucking redeemed. I'm glad I stuck it out to read AoT.

This wall of text only proves how much I've been blown away by the politics arc. Hooked now.
 
does he bang the onee-san?

Nope. It got cancelled so this was the only way it could end. I feel like it still had a couple of arcs, like 2 or 3, to go until it reached a natural conclusion. I feel robbed, this ending came from nowhere but editorial canning the series.
 
Kono Oneesan wa Fiction desu!?

It annoys me we never got an explanation of why the homosexual character somehow went straight and impregnated someone.

Sorry :(
Warning was right there!

I'm unsure if reading it will change your opinion much, but I hope you enjoy it.

I can relate with your reaction to that story, the idea of cheating can make me feel pretty down depending of where I am emotionally in life.

Lack od sexual exclusiveness isn't really cheating as long as it's agreed on, but it seems that in that story or might have lead to some emotional cheating. I'd be curious to read it to see how it approaches the subject.

does he bang the onee-san?

Nope, he ends up dating the girl that confessed to him, while onee-san (supposedly) accepts her place as just an "onee-san".

Nope. It got cancelled so this was the only way it could end. I feel like it still had a couple of arcs, like 2 or 3, to go until it reached a natural conclusion. I feel robbed, this ending came from nowhere but editorial canning the series.

Reading that this chapter would be the last was really a punch in the guts.

Oh. I didn't know that. I guess its more understandable then. Though makes me wonder at what point did the writer know. Certainly dangling the date at the last minute was rude.

The Author usually gets at least a 3 chapter notice if it's getting axed. It's never sudden since the magazine needs something to replace it.

Yep, there was no way to close it up cleanly from that point.

Oh. I didn't know that. I guess its more understandable then. Though makes me wonder at what point did the writer know. Certainly dangling the date at the last minute was rude.

I'm guessing it was dropped on her at the last minute, there was no way she was prepared for it to end at this point. All she could do was wrap it up as good as possible, which is to say not very well at all.

I feel like that's nothing for a monthly. A lot of times there's no way to close up a story that fast, especially if you're in the middle of an important arc like this one was.

Well went bi. It was weird though. Wonder if that was just another part of the rushed wrapup after getting cancelled.

what's the point then .___.

Shame she couldn't just shop it around to get it finished properly. But I guess thats not how the industry works.

I think I would have preferred it unfinished than this.

That's what happens when a cancellation happens, you just end it the most natural way you can from where you are.

It's happened before, all of once I think, but it's so rare that no one would really consider it. I think in the case I'm thinking of there were extenuating circumstances with the cancellation.

What's your impression of Eren, because for me I pretty much dislike him as a main protagonist. I mean for protagonist to have zero character development is pretty sad.

What do you like about the politics arc exactly? I didn't find the revelations to be particularly interesting. The worst part was waiting a month for the next chapter, something you didn't have to deal with.

What about the Ape titan? Surely you had some thoughts about that?
 
I'm Obsessed With My Little Bro! Ch. 28
I don't know which character I like most at this point, the store employee girl sure seems to have absolute contempt for everyone around her though.

Don't worry little bro, you can make it out of that store! Maybe...

Same in the beginning. Dislikable. though he seemed to have improved only slightly later on but right now? Indifferent. Much more interested in Misaka, Levi and Hange.

I enjoyed the exploration in humanity and how the crew realized how evil reality truly is. I enjoyed how ruthless and calculating Levi and Hanji were during the torture session. Enjoyed the cliche political bs Erwin had to do to seize the day. did justice to how common it is for govs always upto shady shirmt and not overdoing it.

as to the spoiler,
He needs to show up more snd do more before i can make proper opinion. its not enough that he can talk and shows intelligence. He needs to do much more than that to interest me. all he did was show he has something of a brain, threw a rock, then disappear from manga. not enough impact to even bother remember him. A foreshadow of whats to come? perhaps but thats it.

Desert world, mysterious box, boy is key to said box and everyone is out to get him, android girl comes and becomes his bodyguard.

The action is pretty damn well done. Though, ending on the 2nd of the 3 part series kinda makes the plot feel eh, cause its now on a cliffhanger and who knows when I'll read the conclusion now.

Josou Kyoudai

Anikii is amazing.
