Plagarism issues aside, it isn't that bad. I'd say Yabuki has a sense of design and somewhat cool in regards to his work in that area. The weapons and clothing designs in Black Cat are pretty nice for most of the heroes and villains. His weapon designs are awesome, love that shit in Black Cat. I really enjoyed them in Yamato Gensouki as well.
Yep, I dropped it right after Eba pulled that bullshit when she went home the first time and her little sister was messing with what's his face. I could smell trainwreck coming.
Kono S wo Mi yo! by Taku Kitazaki. He's one of my favorite manga authors right now.
Didn't catch up to Hayate today after all. I'm at about ~330 right now. I know I said this before but, uh, I like this a lot.
If anyone's interested, I read those 40-something chapters on the Kindle Fire and it was pretty neat. The size is fine and it was comfortable. I set up the touch zones like this:

Aside from Kono S and Sakuranbo Syndrome, do you know of any other good that he's done? I've been meaning to check more out for a little while now.
Cupid no Itazura Nijidama and Ore x Yome are the only other things that he has done that have been translated at all.
I guess you could say that. I read and enjoy tons of trashy shit. Fish people having sex manga is legitimately great though. I mean it has lightsaber wielding bunnies and a penis train.

Japanese manga is so great, isn't it? I mean, it is really diverse and covers all sorts of topics and ideas!

Actually i am beginning to believe that Korean manwha is better than than most manga out there.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
lolwut
Oh thats just crazy. Maybe if we ever got something translated that wasn't a flaming pile with the same story and art.
I mean I'm sure manhwa has another genre besides martial arts/battle and i hope it gets translated soon.

Hmm... I am curious. Can you say what manwha series that you find better in quality compared to most Japanese mangas?
Green Boy is better than most shonen romance series. Though it's a web comic. Most of the better manwha's are on web comics these days anyways.

The only Manhwa I liked was Veritas. That was fun.
Then you need to read My Balls.
The World God Only Knows would fit that description, unless you're talking full on battle manga with that topic then I don't know.
Beelzebub, sometimes?
yes. Btoooom for one.
I think either everyone is this, or they have just given up. It really is headscratching and I'm not sure a re-read will clear things up either. Ehhh.
Popular thread mentality.
Ugh
I still like the Breaker. Fuck the haters. The real answer is Onihime VS though. And Freezing is still good at the end of the day and Freezing:FC will be better.
Overall though, there isn't enough quality manhwa to warrant such a statement. Especially since you have shoujo, josei, and seinen.
Let's not go crazy there.
Content wise (i.e., the plot) just felt ... ridiculous after a certain point but was enjoyable for the most part (though I still can't wrap my head around
railgun and Imagine Sword evolutions)
I did love the designs, weapon/abilities, and the artwork itself, which is much of the reason why I ever followed To-Love-Ru when it started. Easily the strong points of it. Arguably, makes it stand out a bit more.
Jpop Idol v1
First volume sets the story well enough. Lots of shojo clichés but it reads fine. Mika is a nice girl, Kay acts a bit like an ass. Art is typical shojo fare as well, which means beautiful dudes even when they have hobo beards and girls with large eyes, but it's drawn well enough.
My complaint is that the Tokyopop logo is on the cover along with the logo of the Italian editor, which means, this purchase was a waste of my money, there won't be following volumes.

Anego!! vol1-vol2
I love Nozomu Tamaki. He has a way of drawing that I find really sexy, which fits perfectly the type of stuff he writes.
The love story in this was fun to follow even if typical, with a guy coming back to his old city he left as a kid and getting intimately close to his childhood friend (who was his first love), who acted as a big sister when he was young.
Tomo is a nice guy, but a bit dumb when it comes to Sakura. Sakura is smart, but a bit of an idiot when it comes to Tomo. The whole investigation in volume 2 was silly, as silly was the reveal.
As I said, it was a fun story to follow and the sex was nice as well. As a fan of his works, I hope more books of his get published here.

Didn't Tokyopop entirely close-up shop on their manga publishing division? It seems that volume was published in 2008 (and yeah, the only one.)
I hear Viz has started improving their ipad app content for volumes but otherwise the english manga market seems to be in pretty rough shape still...
That's all there is to it regarding TLR. If you look at the fan-service, OK it might dissuade you. But really TLR is about the characters, humor, and a bit of romance. So you either just say "whatever, it's just a manga" regarding the ridiculous fan-service or you get offended ditching the read. No issue/judging either way. And it is not about young looking females as it may appear. Shit I'm more put off by the fake loli in Honey and Clover. That shit bothers me and it isn't about fan-service. Same with Vampire Bund...guh.
The only side I don't buy into are the people who like...really really really like the fan-service if you catch my drift. But cave-men used to draw nudes in caves so to each his own.
PS: I'm interested in TLRD's story.
Tearju!
Ah, I should've clarified. That was still about Black Cat, though I agree with you here. The art and designs in Black Cat were why I ever followed TLR since they were really well done there. I had fond recollections of Yabuki's prior works so TLR had me optimistic a bit art-wise. Then I stuck around because I was legitimately interested in seeing TLR through for Lala (and then Yui, eventually, despite the obvious lol late to the party female never wins harems).
Fanservice is ridiculous but, honestly, a few chapters in and that's rather self-evident so you either take it for what it is or don't. Whichever. No harm done.
As for TLRD, I'll get around to it. When I feel safe.

I don't really get that either. Both Black Cat and To Love Ru have super generic artwork.
They're not unique but they're pleasant to look at.
Yep. This got published here in Italy this year, which is why I didn't even pay attention to the tokyopop logo at all.

Received my All Colour But The Black - The Art Of Bleach artbook.
It's a nice artbook that highlights Kubo's better side, his stylish design. But, for 19,99, I have to admit it's disappointing, especially compared to the Rei Hiroe and Hiromu Arakawa artbooks I bought in the last few months.
Pastel is super generic.
TLR has its moments and arguably its best strength is its portability to color.
He's forever playing with those wacky ass themes, it seems. Thanks, I'll check these out.

I want to get the Kindle Fire just for manga reading. Is it worth it? Is it a smoothe experience? I couldn't care less about having any type of tablet to do things I can smoothly do on my iPhone.
