~Sigh~

You know what? Alright. You win. Big congratulations for you. It's very tiring trying to "discuss" things with you since you are often so tactless and I did not know why, against my better judgment, I jumped into that discussion yesterday when you are one of its participants. Forget it. I'm not going to put you on my ignore list since that is against my forum principle (feel free to put me if in yours, if you wish, I'm not going to lose sleep over it) but I'm not going to say anything anymore to you. Please, feel free to continue arguing with others, you won't see me jumping in anymore. I am sure this will make both of us happier in the long run.
Well at least I won.

But I'm really surprised you stick to strong forum values which shows a reflection of your maturity and experience with forum trotting, so I can't help to respect you on this matter. I hold no ill will towards you by any means so I dunno why you would assume I'm going to block you (which goes against my forum ethic in the first place), regardless. I am however glad someone other than me feels like blocking people is unnecessary, immature, and pretty much goes against what it means to have a discussion on the forum.
 
If I'm not mistaken the premise is that the guy must become a ping-pong champion or something before he could unite with the girl. Anyone know?
I think that was me. Yeah, it's Takkoku. It's awesome.

Kinda surprised that survivor could pull that one off.

Even more surprised that you remembered that recommendation.

Not surprised in the least that about 5 new chapters came out since then
 
Does this look like the manga you wanted?

I checked the list of ping pong manga at MU and this is the only one that kinda resembled your description.
So I guess you also saw the yaoi ping-pong one?

*waits patiently for a review from survivor*
Iris Zero is pretty meh. Lost interest like halfway through that iris hunter arc thing.
I'd say...pretty good. The first arc is by far the best and the rest has yet to equal.

One of those slow chapters manga eh..... :(

Well I'll check it out regardless since the premise is so unique.

Not to mention you see the person's posts when someone else quotes them. So there's pretty much no point, as any post that would make someone want to block another user is sure to be quoted.
 
Hayate

Possibly the best character development to happen to anyone in this series is that after the cat posession, now Izumi got an added "nya" to her SFX vocabulary.

It is... fantastic.

recording herself in class as a galge heroine was easily my favorite moment with her so far. that was so good
 
@Iris Zero - I love the premise, I love the characters (/pairings), and I love the arcs so far. That said, I think the Iris Hunter arc came waaaaay too soon and I don't know what it will do beyond that.

@Nisekoi - Hopefully it just gets to somewhere interesting soon (say, by chapter 10-ish); it's just now breaking out of the initial introductions of characters and scenario so I think it's a case of too early to tell.

@Hayate - Hinagiku! I have nothing else to add.

TWGOK

I just got around to reading this week's chapter. I'm not sure I like or understand where this is going.

Silver Spoon

It's strange that this is only on chapter 22, it feels like it's been around longer than this.
 
Figure it out
There is nothing in the post you quoted that even warranted such a remark since it absolutely had nothing to do with improper forum ethic or anything else you responded with that. I'm not even sure why you're attempting to drag this discussion out with this garbage posting.
 
Kenichi 455 - Honestly, can we just get to the inevitable
Kenichi and Miu
fight? These chapters of little going on besides fanservice are kind of annoying :/

...probably the wrong manga to be saying that about, huh?

and probably the wrong poster to be complaining about fanservice :P
 
Gacha Gacha - Secret

This manga will not win any awards but the art is very pleasant to look at and the fan-services are very delicious... like sweet cakes.

Speaking of fanservice, I haven't read To Love Ru or To Love Ru Darkness. I've heard.... things, about these two. Many... things....

Oh damn, I've become that guy. Viva la breasts!

Seriously though, I enjoy my normal amounts of fanservice like everyone else; there's just a line that gets crossed and then it interferes with things. Especially drawing purposeful attention to it rather than just letting it be there. I'm not going to say no or expect otherwise but, hey, I'll eventually facepalm at it!

Plus, HSDK 455 we get
lol boobs from Rachel and then "So remember that rightful Queen heir we introduced last chapter? Here's her naked!" just seems excessive
.

That threshold? They play jump rope with that line. That line is their bitch.

If you catch my drift.
 
Exactly!

Context!

Magical boobs-to-plot ratio quota!
-In Amaenaideyo fan-service causes the MC to turn godlike, literally.
-In Hidan no Aria the MC goes into hysteria mode making his perceptions beyond human.
-In Kimiiro Focus the MC uses his erotic view of females to change into a master photographer.
-The MC in Love Collage, due to his love of parts, at times receives super human abilities.
-In Magikano there are magical panties which imbue the wearer with a power-up.
-Fan-service in Kimi no Iru Machi prevents us from going on rampages injuring many.

Your move fan-service detractors.

Good god please don't. Please just read a hentai, and I mean that in all seriousness.
 
For some reason, thinking about Togashi made me remember that I never actually finished the remaining chapters of Vagabond. I had heard that he was ending Vagabond, but then the next thing I heard, he got bored of it and isn't even finishing it?
Could just be hungry.
Fiction people, fiction.
To-Love-Ru really occupies a disturbing genre. You know, the one where people want to see 12 year olds naked.

At least it there was mitigating funny in Negima, despite feeling glad nobody else could see what I was reading. And besides, all the girls in Negima at least LOOK like they're 19 and Akamatsu had the decency to not give us panty shots while they were in loli form in the Magic World.

Well, Inoue supposedly got sick back last year. There was news last month that he was starting work on it again.

The art in Vagabond really is incredible, though. I could see why it would take a ton of time to draw like that and it might be a pain.

I got my post confused since I thought you were talking about that line referencing Gacha Gacha.

Regardless, most of the females in TLRD have bodies of erotic models in their late teens -> early twenties. It's actually ridiculous how physically mature they make some of them look.

I edited out that part since it obviously wasn't clear.

Even where that's true, it's still disturbing to me that he decided he needed to go back and make a more explicit version of TLR. (Technically, the tankobon releases of To Love Ru have always been explicit, and he just erased the naughty bits for the magazine). I never read Black Cat, but I can't really imagine it was more disturbing than this.

Finding out about Darkness was rather shocking. Reading Darkness made me fear for being on watchlists.

I've still only read one chapter of TLRD. I can't bring myself to do more.

Black Cat was pretty typical shounen. Honestly, I don't even recall that much in the fanservice department.

All I ever hear about Black Cat is Hoyay with Train and Creed
 
...There's a Golden Boy II? Holy shit.

Yes, but it quickly turned to shit and it ended with more Tatsuya Egawa preaching bullshit again. That dude is only out to make money and can't keep anything going.

Black Cat is one of those manga Kings of Plagarism.

Didn't know that but the thing that made Golden Boy interesting started to wear out its welcome imo.

then i heard he has issues over this girl who dumped him or something like that
 
Wow, yet another Claymore chapter featuring totally indistinguishable characters doing 90% action scenes.

I read this every month, but I no longer recall what the plot is.
 
Black Cat is one of those manga Kings of Plagarism.

Haha, true, true. I suppose merely saying "typical" is a bit of an understatement of sorts.

"Kings of Plagiarism" aside, as far as the actual content is concerned, it's nothing spectacular; enough to be interesting that I read it throughout but I have pretty low standards.
 
i think i'm gonna stay away from this thread till one piece gets released. i don't wan't to spoil myself even though i think jimbei will join.

I have the simultaneous belief that flawfuls has low standards in manga and high standards in manga, particularly after he posted that manga with the fish people having sex

Spoilers rarely release too far ahead of the chapter unless the popular scanners get delayed.
 
Tower of God chapter 6-12

Crocodile cracks me up. Things are getting interesting, but the main characters still bores me.
A town where you WANT TO KILL THOSE FUCKING IDIOTS 161 & 162

"I love you and I appreciate that you ran away from your dad to live with me, but I can't sleep with you in the same bed."
"And you can't see me in my underwear, because I would be embarrassed."
"Yeah, seriously, put some clothes on, would you?"

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

Aren't they're supposed to be 17 or 18?

Rin would probably have to rape Haruto.

IIRC Shouta warned people not to read it.

Or its a saturday release, don't think that is this week though.

..............By the way, what is the name of the manga about the dude having a magical symbol on his butt that entices every woman seeing it to have sex with him?

For some reason, I am now feeling rather compelled to seek out mangas with out of this world, whacky, or incredibly bizarre premises like that. I suppose I am interested in seeing the kind of mangas that defies the usual conventions and see what kind of experience they have to offer.
