And the shoujo calms down the rage or increases? There has to be some equation here.

Legend of Koizumi.
I believe the translator is sick. Hope some faster group would pick it up though.
The smut is calming down the rage.
KNIM level of rage? I don't think I can handle that.
HSDxD actually has a pretty cool premise. The dialog though...fits your comment.
Still need to balance the smut with slice of life. And balance SoL with battle shounen. Then romcom with b-shounen and action seinen with that... Just read everything I guess except garbage. The garbage throws off the circle of manga.
Not applicable since Hetakoi isn't garbage like KNIM.

Just watch the anime to High School DXD or reading the Light Novel .
Both better than the manga by far .
Also i don't find the dialog that bad maybe it's be i read the Novel or watch the anime .
The level of fan-service in the anime was obnoxious. I stopped watching.
That sucks, I don't keep up with translating groups because shit gets annoying and immature as hell real quick.

That's is to bad it's one of the better fan service shows and story gets better later on.
The anime only cover first 2 vols with little piece left off they are 10 plus vols out ( 4 out in English) .
The novels are also full of fan service just that you reading so it don't seem that bad .
I got soft spot for the series to tell the truth maybe it because i don't have the to see main character get beat up by girls just for being a pervert also battles later on are great .

Is there ever any good manga based on video games?
The only good one is Breath of Fire IV. The zelda ones were rather meh--acceptable, but not really that special.
How is the persona mangas? Any good?
Do you guys know more?

Front Mission: Dog Life Dog Style but the translations are slow and there are only three chapters.
Pokemon Adventures (or Pokemon Special) is pretty good.
The Persona manga are okay but if you have played the game you can pass.

End of Eternity The Secret Hours, based on my favorite rpg this gen...but I guess not many people played it and its kind of a short manga.
I was gonna say Pokemon Adventures...but since Viz has dropped it in the west, I kind of dropped it and stopped following. .

Viz only stopped translating the Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald parts, Fire Red/Leaf Green parts and I assume the Heart Gold/Soul Sliver ones. They are still releasing the Diamond/Pearl stuff as well as Black/White. Sure that sucks that they are pretty much skipping the middle stuff but at the same time for the most part they are self contained stories within the worlds.
This is the first actual chapter, not the one shot.
Yamada and the Seven Witches
Haha, body swaps everywhere in this chapter.
Okay.
It's trashy, but not as trashy as Nisekoi. Despite the contrived setup this may actually prove to be decent.
Now, bets on how many chapters until he acquires a harem (3 or more girls) and which haremette will be the childhood friend?
Read the Metroid manga if you're a fan, that's essentially the background story that has become "canon" , At least in the Sakamoto games.
I've read the DMC3 Manga which was alright but got cancelled unfortunately.
.hack/XXXX (no it's not pron) was mediocre since it fails to capture the charm of the series and travels at breakneck speeds.
The Last Ranker had a manga adaptation but only one chapter got scanlated so... that's unfortunate too.
There's also Kingdom Hearts manga but I hate Kingdom Hearts so I can't provide an opinion on that.
As for the Persona mangas, just play the games, much more satisfactory.
I'm gonna wait a bit, I hate all of you that got me reading Nisekoi.
I thought the Suikoden III manga was pretty good even though I haven't played the game.

The only Front Mission games I've played is the 4th in the series, and I am not a fan of Pokemon, but I guess I'll give them both a try.
From a simple glance/look the artstyle from the Persona mangas seem alright. Good, even. Hmm....
Resonance of Fate got a manga?
Wow, gotta check it out!Metroid eh...? Not really a fan of the games but the universe itself seems interesting. .hack... yeah I forget about them. Have there ever been any .hack manga that directly chronicles the story of original Kite and Blackrose? Can't seem to remember if there ever is one.
Don't know about the Last Ranker since it never gets an English release...
Yeah I dislike Kingdom Hearts as well so not going to check that out I guess.
I never know Suikoden III ever got a manga adaptation. Hmmm interesting.
They never made any manga about Suikoden 2 or 5? Those two are my favorites of all Suikodens.
Anyway, thanks for the responses guys! MangaGAF is as dependable as ever!

I like the Corpse Party manga a lot.
Persona mangas are pretty good, it's just that their translations are sporadic at best (unless things have changed in the two years or so since I last read them).
Yeah there are manga for Suikoden 2 and 5 and they are both being translated.
I think you're referring to Legend of the Twilight aka .hack//dusk. But the Kite and Blackrose aren't the "originals" in that story.
There are some other manga adaptations I've been meaning to check, specifically Tactics Ogre. If you're interested, there are also various Dragon Quest manga and Fire Emblem manga as well. It all goes into my backlog since all I seem to do is play D3 or train in Marvel all day.
Edit: I should mention that the Phoenix Wright manga licensed by Udon is worth the investment if you're a Gyakuten Saiban/Ace Attorney fan. The Megamix / Gigamix Megaman/Rockman mangas are alright though I'm a huge Megaman fan. It also contains the interview with Inafune where he basically admits he wanted to kill off Rockman all along in the X series but Capcom prevented that and X was forced into the game. Onimusha: Night of the Genesis is not bad, but it's quite the tease because of its length.
Minor point of news: Hiro Mashima now has a Twitter account. So if you have any outstanding Fairy Tail questions, you know where to direct them.
Hope he gets spammed by questions like 'will Luffy ever find the one piece.'

Yep, death flag has been raised. Next one to bite the dust is heart hair.

I thought it was a video game based on a manga... So it's actually the other way around, huh? Looking into it right now.
The artwork is nice, from what I can see. And the author seems like a fan of the game themselves which is a nice bonus, of course.
Bloody fantastic! I am definitely going to check those two out. Have the mangas themselves already finished in Japan or still on-going?
Yeah, I've read .hack//dusk. A rather surprisingly... "cute" manga with a light-hearted tone. It's too bad it seems like the original Kite/Blackrose team never got any manga adaptations... not that I am aware of?
I'll definitely check the Tactis Ogre, Dragon Quest, Fire Emblem, and Phoenix Wright ones.

I would actually say don't read the manga if you plan on playing the PSP game. It's virtually a direct adaptation that adds things that can't be conveyed in a 16-bit game, but the presentation is pretty damn good that I'd still probably put it above the manga.
If you have no plans on playing it, go for it.

I have the game actually, but for some reason or another it ended up getting abandoned.
If you really think the game is actually superior than the manga, then I suppose I'll refrain from reading it and playing the game instead.
GAMARAN
Oho.... the reappearance of "that" jutsu/attack/killer moves or whatever. Also, it's funny how fond the characters of this manga in saying "hmph." They're saying it so often it's unbelievable.
GOOD ENDING 126
Shou is such a ~nice~ girl. It's too bad, it's too bad, it's too bad.....

Yamada and the 7 hos
Chapters like these are why it's refreshing when the "sacred kiss" taboo Japan seems to love is broken. Negima was the same way, but it wasn't half as amusing as this. I'm sure the body-swapping is only going to get more ridiculous when more members show up.

Suikoden 5 is done in Japan and is fully scanlated, but the Suikoden 2 manga is still ongoing. For some reason the older games have seem to have the newest manga.

I don't know if that's the consensus. Just happens to be my opinion, and so few people have read the manga for there to be many more. I just think the voice, music, and general atmosphere just adds so much that the lack of graphics and realistic proportions is a fine trade-off.
I would say if you can't get into the game by the end of chapter 1 (or if you get frustrated from getting stuck a lot), read the manga.
I definitely agree. The manga is just a generic horror manga, but the game is really atmospheric and unique.
Yah XXXX doesnt really do any of the characters justice really, because there wasn't enough time to develop them and even though it's with the original cast the feeling just isn't there. For me the best experience has been the original game series. You might want to look into the light novels //Another Birth. It covers Blackrose's PoV and it's solid imo.
Tell me how the other manga go, Interested in hearing about DQ and FE manga more specifically.

Wow.
Judging by the context of this post, I guess this means Kubo pour ink all over the pages again. Seems like some DEEP shit.

This chapter reminds me that Naruto would be better if the main characters weren't Naruto and Sasuke. Shikimaru, Chouji, Rock Lee, anyone would be better than those two shits. Good chapter.
Gets a lower grade cause of more stupid YGO shit at the end of the chapter and more to come.
Bleach spoilers
So I hear Kira is dead. Didn't Kira die in Death Note, though?
