I don't read a lot of manga, but I just finished reading the published volumes of Yotsuba&! and wanted to come in here to say it's the most adorable thing I've ever seen. Yotsuba's facial expressions are gold, and her innocent, naive outlook on the world is endlessly charming. The backgrounds are appealingly detailed and do a good job of grounding the setting in the real world, despite the cartoony character designs. Good stuff.

Yotsuba& is the gold standard, it's true. It also works as a gateway drug into your choice of either the "raise a kid" genre (Ashiteruze Baby, etc) or comedy/fighting (Beelzebub)

Aunt Tits
Yeah, there's no way a 20 year old fujoshi hasn't masturbated before. Suspension of disbelief broken!

I know, even after the realism was established when he sucked his aunts tits. I dunno if I can get in to this

what's the point in getting achievements thenaslkjalkdsjfölkasjdfölkdsa
had to force my way to the end.
left off at the azuki radio show. and the whole arc, i just didn't care for. heaps of text too through that section that was just blah.
the handling of the reversi end is a little more interesting. seems to be some sorta venting about how death note went.
if someone told me the ending wasn't all that great and just summarized it for me, i would've been fine with that.

She's reading the gay porn for the plot. How rude to imply otherwise!
You guys nearly got me. I figured I'd do it now if it had user interaction but eh, I've got my hands full with Java books anyway.

Well that was dumb and abrupt. Looks like the series will forever be known for the Rape Namek arc.

Fuck these achievements. I lost so many of them cause I forgot to login.
Giant Killing 1
Man that was such a long chapter, 70 pages.
That old man is so crazy to give away Tatsumi. Come on son, fuck these foreigners and keep the best manager your team will ever have.

Great series. Even though I love Captain Tsubasa I prefer the more realistic approach of Giant Killing.
you know you want em~
It's JavaScript though.
This is so disturbingly apt.
Basically, a female otaku? Usually into yaoi/shounen ai trash.
[EDIT] - Actually, seems like it's a term specifically for female homophiles.

Started sublimely, then degenerated into being merely great. Oh well.
Also Mirea > Rio is like the biggest no contest ever.

Wait... what is the problem? Your posts are as interesting as anyone's else there, and I appreciate them. I don't want anyone to stop posting in that thread just because...
... well, now that I'm here:
[CXC] being [CXC] there.
[CXC] being... wow! Past week they surprised many with an early release, now this madness, and on time? Much respect.

I wish I had thought up the phrase, "are they still on Rape Namek?"

An AT police force was just plain baffling and silly, but Akito/Agito was a cool addition. Hilarious to the plot and cast, and even more funny with Ikki. I guess his friends will never let him forget that moment. Kazu receiving much needed development was pleasing. I guess my current list of favorites is Ikki, Kazu, Agito/Akito. Apart from Buccha none of the antagonists have actually had terrible designs, in fact, they are pretty cool.
The teacher, ton-chan?, is hilarious. I hope she sticks around.

Ok, second attempt to read the manga has gone better. After couple of chapters I got the hang of the endless dialogues so now I can easily skip half of them and still get the gist of the manga.
Shiranui is such a little troll. I also don't like this new dude Akune. He looked like a filler character from his design and yet he became a secretary of the student council.

These pages are just storyboards at this point. Very pretty ones though.

Remember when Wolf Guy first started getting translated and I told everybody the main character was gonna sacrifice himself for his teacher and that the whole story would wind up being a mastubatory misanthropic revenge fantasy? The dude only knows how to write one plot.
It wound up as a love story between a boy and his dog though.

Same thing.
Akune becomes cool later~
Wolf Guy:
You were going in on Wolf Guy for a good minute (and for good reason). After the "mass rape exodus" I think the only person still attempting to read that series was Combine.

Rape Namek didn't bother me a bit. It was just boring. Says how desensitized I am. I still finished it.

*raises hand*
I think the last battle was great, not because the battle itself it cointained all the elements the series was some stupidily awesome before the rape porn marathon.
Wolf Guy:
The rape itself wasn't the issue (IMO), it was the length. Even Berserk and Gantz didn't have entire arc rape scenes.
I didn't mean to say no one else here was reading it, just that before the rape stuff happened lots of people in the OT1 thread would post a review of every wolf guy chapter, then when the rape happened the only person doing it regularly was Combine. But I'm probably wrong here.

Well, I kinda forgot for a while because for quite some time releases were quite slow and barely posted chapter reviews.
And yeah the rape was dull and unnecesary, because for a lot of chapters if was going on circles with chapters with nothing happening and was just rape porn material.

Man, Oda apparently is a pretty nice guy. I'm watching a Japanese program and it has One Piece fans vs the One Piece editors competing against each other in a quiz where they ask each other questions. He apparently considers his editors on the same level as he is and lets them voice their opinions, something that can be rare in Japan. He even has the same attitude for his new editors who just turned pro a few years ago.
He also wrote a personal message One Piece fans competing telling them that he doesn't mind if they crush his editors in a knowledge competition. Quite amusing.

So this is when the manga starts shifting focus? The conflict at the end of this volume with the enforces leader has a more shounen battle feeling then the previous stuff in the manga so far.
I gotta say, Nisio really likes to ramble on. This manga is filled with so much more texts than other shounen manga that I read.

Thank you, Based Goda.
I still haven't found a video of him in an interview or anything. ._.

Is it me or was the writing in this whole manga really stupid? I found the rape stuff less disturbing than the misanthropic
"furries are awesum, humans suck" mantra spewed throughout the entire thing. Is the author behind this a weirdo or something?
Or was this series some sort of parody I didn't get?
