Not really "ARRRRR!" pirates.
Eh, can't have everything.
Umm...

Not exactly the kind of pirate I'm looking for. More like this:

I'll go with the first one.
 
Doesn't exist. Accept your One Piece reality and move on with life

Bah.

Vinland Saga is the closest I can think of that has a similar "vibe" but if what you are saying is true then indeed such a shame that no mangaka wants to tackle "real" pirates as a subject for their work.
 
Asked earlier but never got an answer...is Ghost in the Shell as a manga worth reading? Just watched the movie and it was really good.

The manga is much better, but the movie has a more refined art style. You get a lot of extra info on the technology in the manga. It's really good.
 
Read the manga, it's a different experience, but it's not bad. Plus, it's just 1 volume, if you're only interested in what you saw in the first movie. Otherwise it's just 3 volumes (1, 1.5, 2). It's not a big time investment even if you end up not liking it compared to the movie.
 
Content wise, the manga is better. If you like pretty pictures and explosions, the anime is better. I still refuse to read or watch 1.5 and 2 as a matter of principle.

Sounds good. And what about the Akira manga?
 
Wolf Guy 1-50
I remember seeing quite a lot of trash-talking about it, especially
the attempted rape chapter
but I don't see what's wrong with it
(rape as a story device, not rape itself you sicko)

Well, Aoshika's boobs tend to be offensively huge. Like twice-the-size-of-her-head-offensive, I'll give you that.
 
I checked out A Girl by the Sea because of that picture above. Anyone know when the next volume will come out? Love a well-done and realistic coming-of-age story.

The problem with the rape scenes in Wolf Guy is that it's completely contrast to the entire message/point of the manga. The manga consistently tells us as humanity is fucked up and wolves are superior, because humans rape. The problem with this is that if you pay close attention to the rape scenes, all of them are drawn to look like shots out of a pornography film and the main female that gets raped all the time is intentionally and deliberately ideal sexually attractive. Also, rape happens too frequently for that message to get across properly.

I did this as well, also interested in the answer!

Well we are 1 volume in and it's been three years since Asano started so I wouldn't hold my breath. His main focus now is Punpun. On a related note if you haven't read Asano's other manga just do that. They are all sooooo good.
