Bleach

Expected but most appreciated. I knew Unohana was a monster. Watch the two of them start to get along better Byakuya/Kenpachi style now.

One Piece

Mansopp needed way more screentime from forever ago. Good to see his versatility increased over the timeskip, those seastone cuff shots are going to see so much usage. Bby 5 is also the best sideline character ever. :lol

Baby 5 for Nakama.

Magi

Is it weird that while I know Lady Scheherazade has the right idea, I still don't want her to win? Something about her demeanor sits poorly with me.

Soul Eater

You know, this entire time, I was expecting a parent to bail out Maka at the right moment but I was actually expecting it to be both her mother and father, not just the father. Spirit is a broken death scythe btw. Those last panels with the Kishin though... Whoa.
 

Stat Flow

He gonna cry in the car
Naruto: HA HA HA

DAMN

HA HA HA

Bleach: A-

Ayo. That PANEL. That panel alone was worth the price of admission (which is nothing!).

The color page was really cool, I would buy Renji's jacket in a heartbeat. But I really think this Zanpakto training/bullshit could really lead to something awesome. Other than that the pacing on it could be improved, it took a lot of panels just to give a nice throwback to the Ichigo vs. Hichigo from way back when.

Otherwise, there's no way you can't like the Kenpachi/Unohana shit. I only read the MS translation so it was good shit, but Unohana looked fucking insane.

One Piece: C

I really was hoping that we would see Doflamingo in some way...but to no avail. I really couldn't care less about Usopp or Nami. So, bleh. They need to get off of Punk Hazard. This chapter felt really long, but the "DEAD SILENCE" part was kind of funny.

My first thought was that that's Mihawk, but after zooming it, it does indeed look like Aokiji. Which is cool, because it is now plausible that he could join up with Law and crew for now.






Naruto: No seriously, handing out powerups like that? It's one thing for the main character to get hax shit. But come on. OH, THE SAUCEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

"Donquixote Family" oh man oh man. We suspected this back when they called Doflamingo the "young master" but there's some serious things going on now. I'm really curious now what's up with that. It's hard to imagine Big Mom is related.

Also will echo Wise-man with USOPP NAMI AND FRANKY DID SOMETHING WHAT IS THIS A FAKE CHAPTER OR SOMETHING
makes sense, they had 3 weeks to draw it

Franky's robot really does seem like an extremely badass trump card, which makes it all the better when he uses it all the time, haha. Really refreshing to see Doflamingo's dudes just get wiped out so easily without involving Luffy/Sanji/Zoro at all, and Law takes that for granted... which means the next arc might still be surprisingly easy for them.

Finally had my account validated! I'll be visiting this thread for a while though not exactly sure what the title is supposed to mean.

Some people in this thread give out grades to what they're reading, usually the big 3 shounen series, say they'll quit the series because it's so bad and then you see them back next week reading the next chapter and posting about it.

Franky's awesome. He just spams his best move but its so damn awesome I don't it'll ever get old.

mangagaf recommend me some romance manga, preferably not too shoujo/josei as far as art and themes go
Taiyou no Ie is shoujo but uh, the art is really amazing. Dunno what "themes" mean but considering it's the only shoujo I really like, it can't be that bad.
Does Prunus Girl count as romance?

....whoa that's the only downright full-on fully-on "romance" manga that I'm following right now (aside from Nisekoi and Iinazuke Kyoutei lol) . I like romance, how did this happen?

Idk. I just mean i'd prefer the sensibilities of the whole thing not to be super girly, is all. And as for ongoing series no problem with that. I also dont have an issue with reading older completed stuff/classics.

I still feel bad about Taiyou no Ie and it's been months. I think it's been months. I forget how time works.

If it comes down to it, I'd probably say that romance is my favorite genre in general.

Finally, after years of lurking I live among you.

Naruto

Pretty good chapter. I quite like the thought of power-up hi-fives boosting all the characters that never get a chance to do anything anymore.

Bleach

Things of interest happening for two chapters in a row? It's very nice to see Unohana like that, I'm looking forward to the outcome.

One Piece
Another good chapter. I laughed a few times. My initial reaction to the figure at the end was Aokiji. But who knows at this point?

I want a Russian crab fishing arc.

I swear every part of this chapter was awesome. Arakawa is a Goddess.

Crabs are good, too LMAO
The tears on the covers seem fake but very nice cover nonetheless. Very excited for the anime, it will be a while until it starts so I hope it will be at least 2 cour long.

Stat Flow man, I am dissapoint, I hyped you, I was going to use you as an example to show these juniors the meaning of the thread title, the essence of how this thread rolls on Wednesdays, but you give me... this!, now the confusion and chaos is going to continue for another week with posters wondering what the hell is with the thread title, and need I tell you that it's been 3 weeks man and you drop this on us!?

F- man, I'm not reading your posts, see you next week.

I'm Fresh Meat but I've been reading the Mangaf thread since at least |OT2| or some shit. Didn't have a valid email for a while and then was stuck in account-approval hell for a couple months.

I love these by the way (even though I like One Piece a lot and regularly disagree, Stat you are a boss)

What qualifies as SmutGAF? Super Interesting Darkness?

...

I don't even know, honestly. Sometimes it's like Super Interesting Darkness levels of stuff and then other times it's Smut;Gate/SmutterflyEffect. I think Anorexia qualified at one point and all I really remember from that was a funny death scene and an early NTR route
not that anyone actually reads this still

Shit, maybe it's just titles we have funny nicknames for.

Edit: I guess the last big smut title picked up was Kimi wa Midara? So that, I guess!

Surely everything in the smut banner on page 1 applies (except for Its Not My Fault I'm Not Popular, what is that doing there)

I love how Minamoto-kun Monogatari is not called ANYTHING else but Aunt Tits here. Some people even googled the "title", haha.

Did you notice Urahara´s hat, and Kon in the color page?

In that case, I really don't think Akame ga Kill really applies :x

Truthfully, SmutGAF qualifications would basically just be anything a bit more sexual in nature. Not necessarily full-out porn (aka Super Interesting Darkness) but at least a step above "lets hold hands, kk?!" relationships. Essentially, they're more down to fuck. I guess.

Or something.

I suck at this, don't ask me.

By this point, you could probably find the manga through googling Aunt Tits.

I'm not testing this one.

Hey all you new dude-mans, welcome! BUT...!! I don't approve of what you're doing.

When you're new, and you say you're new, you mention your readlist and favorite mangas, and get bombarded by recommendations despite not asking for any. It's the mangaf way. C'mon!



I still feel bad about Taiyou no Ie and it's been months. I think it's been months. I forget how time works.
In my manga list, ordered by latest release, Taiyou no Ie is right between Anagle Mole and Addicted to Curry, which I feel emphasizes the most just HOW MUCH time passed. I mean, dude. That's just wrong.
If it comes down to it, I'd probably say that romance is my favorite genre in general.
Dunno why but it seems I gravitate a lot more towards romance in other mediums (anime and VNs) than manga. Weird how that works out.

While I enjoyed seeing Franky, Usopp and Nami do something, it's a shame that they only got the scraps. It's good that Baby 5 and Buffalo were defeated this easily, so they likely won't matter anymore since they seemed like throwaway characters not really worthy of being high up in Doflamingo's crew.

And Oda's keeping up with the tradition of making women inferior. How could they NOT like the robot. smh

I also liked the panel where Buffalo realizes they have the whole crew and G5 as enemies, because it just looks like such an awesome alliance for Law's undertaking even if Smoker wouldn't cooperate with pirates like that.

Thanks for pointing that out, I was wondering where everyone was seeing Aokiji as I thought the bird or whatever was a floating coat with Aokiji himself looking like the head with a weird headgear. But now I think it's Aokiji, too.

We really do have a bunch of fresh meat.

SmutGAF recruiting will start soon.

Stay strong and resist, fellow newcomers!

Spirit Circle - 1~4

A new-ish manga by Satoshi Mizukami (Lucifer & the Biscuit Hammer), digging it so far. This is pretty good - I like the reincarnation theme, and the places that the story went in just these first few chapters have been pretty surprising stuff.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I've liked all I've read by him and wondered when he'd finally start a new manga.

And get judged. Hopefully a gimmick emerges and then we'll remember them and use them for a later OT title.

I had to go check and it's been 3 months since
NTR route past for the father
. Goddamn. That's ... goddamn.

I gravitate towards it across basically all mediums. It also helps me latch onto characters. Dunno. I'm a big ol' softy on the inside, I guess!

I considered whether to do that or not. In the end I just went for posting some thoughts and being on my way without making a big deal of it. I've lurked in the previous OT long enough to get most of the recommendations anyway.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
One Piece

"I've spent so much time running away, I haven't had my fill of fighting yet" Heh, even Nami acknowledges she's barely had any fights.

Fun chapter, good to see Nami and Usopp fighting.

Mine is ordered the same and I get a bit depressed looking at the end:

Vagabond (It JUST came back from hiatus, mangastream I'll love you if you continue this)
Sakigake!! Cromartie Koukou (Funniest comedy manga)
Arthur Pyuty wa Yoru no Majo
Prism (HIGASHIYAMA Shou)(Tracing drama, this is pretty much gone, too bad)
Vovnich Hotel
Boku wa Beatles
Umibe no Onnanoko (I know its coming back so thats okay)
Himizu (Two volumes left untranslated, it was sooo good as well)

Silver Spoon

Milk scams, anime figures and crabs! I was sure that the school would have a fundraiser or something, I'd be really surprised if Hachiken manages to somehow get the money on his own.

I'm curious if it'll be a series goal or just a Winter arc plotline.

Holy hell, didn't even know this was supposed to happen any time soon.

It came back from Hiatus months ago, when 301 came out, but last chapter translated was 304 last May. Maybe it went back into hiatus or something though, I'mma check

EDIT: Looks like 305-311 have raws available. I don't mind waiting if it comes back eventually.

Also, Pyrokles consider using mangaupdates, it is really good for keeping up to date and managing manga... especially how it notifies you of new chapters.

I always thought it was the shallow, pandering kind of displaying sexual stuff, basically what used to be (and partly still) referred to as ecchi but a step further? By your definition Molester Man would be smut, but I wouldn't classify it as such because it doesn't intend to arouse you but wants to tell a story. To me what the focus is on defines whether it is smut or not.

That's also the impression I got from the panels and descriptions of manga people called smut when this whole thing started.

Mine's ordered by when I read the first chapter/watched the first episode (anime and manga together in an Excel sheet 'cause I don't want to have to log into some site to access it). I like it this way since there's sometimes patterns of starting a certain genre or many long/short works in a row which I find interesting to see looking back on it. And due to there always being a bunch of animes every three months that belong to the same season I always know around when I started something.

Ah damn, you got my hopes up. I'm pretty sure it's been back on hiatus.

Edit: Just realized you were listing the end of your last updated list. My fault then. Read it as if it had just updated. :lol

I hope not. It'd kind of feel cheap if Hachiken is able to come in a magically solve everyone's problems.
