I like porn as much as the next guy, but the type of smut we're talking about generally has super creepy contexts and a lot of non-sex; it's just super juvenile.
So you are just disappointed with the lack of sex then? Got it.

Read these:
A Girl by the Sea
Chronicles of Street Observation Research (lesbian scene at least)
Goodnight Punpun
Itokoi Chidori
Hetakoi
Kanojo wa Kanno Shosetsuka
Koibana Onsen
Kono S o, Mi yo!
My Balls
My Lovely Ghost KANA
Nozoki Ana
Say "I Love You"
Velvet Kiss

I'm sure smutgaf knows a few more. Problem solved everyone. Let's go back to manga...err stay with manga.
What the...? What does this have to do with anything?
I'm offended by pirates and ninjas. There have been many modern incidents of piracy leading to numerous killings. Ninjas were known mercenaries who were responsibility for countless murders in past history. And hollow are spooky.

And so, asking people to apply real-life events and morals to a fictional work is DUMB. retcon: Actually, it's just boring.
Stat Flow Monogatari.
Yep

Hammer Mermaid is like the worst smut I've ever read

Wait, how does Wiseblade read TLR:D darkness and is against smutgaf? Or is it just Aunt Tits?

Becasue TLR was actually funny and TLRD is a poor imitation with most of the subtlety and creativity removed.

Aunt Tits never had any creativity. It's just vile, poorly animated smut for the sake of smut.

also you should substitute 'drawn' in for 'animated'

IDK, that Haruna washing herself in Rito's body mayo accident thing was pretty creative.

Aunt is sexually training him to conquest various females cause she likes some old tale. It's a bit different.

no it wasnt. it looked like it had a plot and was going somewhere, like hitman. but it stayed in that same lame corner that its in. which is a shame, seeing as how he could have done that double series instead of darkness.

well, TLR was a shit tier manga with shit characters whose raunchiness was constrained by the format it was being published in.

Darkness is like the same shit but with much more smut and the annoying leads replaced by Momo. It's an improvement on every level including the art and I've kept up with TLRD much longer than TLR.

That's the reason I said "mostly" instead of "completely".

As I said, smut for the sake of smut. Not interesting, clever, funny or entertaining.

I hate having to read manga with no clear idea of how long they are. Apparently Dark Horse only translated the Miss China storyline but then there are 3 volumes in the Spanish version? I feel like I missed a lot

Art is by Kenji Tsuruta so it's godly. Miss China reminded me a lot of Xianglan from China Girl with her broken English. Can't say she was a more interesting character but she was far stronger always destroying down her own restaurant.

Essentially the story is about China dealing with the inventions of some scientist and his other buddy . They got pretty creative with them. Mirror reflector that lets you go to the moon, magical flying brooms and the Portal stuff. There was even a nice love story thrown in there. My major complaint is the panels didn't flow that well so it ruined some of the moments in the manga. Outside of that, good nice short story that is worth reading.

But that's what makes it so clever!

You do realize that none of us think Aunt Tits is a good manga, right?
Someone's getting a bit uptight. :(
I'll still take Grimace's excursions over the gaming side's morality in games/conventions talk. You could build a spaceship with all the soap boxes. But I guess there's nothing else to talk about if the games suck. BAM

Because Darkness has gained so much from having a plot...

But I'm saying AT is unreadable.
 
Claymore:

That was the rumor once we found out the series was "ending" a few days before the so called final chapter came out. But there was never any official word from Jump about what was going on with the series. Regardless there was no reason to believe the series was ending, at least not the way 126 went down.

It always sounded bizzare that it was supposedly ending in such a way but given you had some manga who did something similar people might have thought it would have made some sense (thats if it was going to another publication).

I guess Jump not saying anything should have been the sign that it was not as it seemed.



So basically in this thread its currently an arguement of what shit stinks less?

does it have a plot? i wouldnt know seeing as how i dropped the first one after i realized it was going nowhere. i know the smut has been ramped up, which is just pathetic.

Yo man, that whole thing with Yami and her mom...and her sister...or something... Uh... IDK, Momo is awesome. Hype.

Right to left, top to bottom. Chapters are short too.

I don't even know what we are talking about anymore. My posts are like sarcasm on sarcasm on sarcasm. I'm not sure what is real...

Trinity Seven

I wonder if other Paladin users will show up at one point, the headmaster was very strong. Also some hint of an evil mage organization was dropped. Arata at the end looked pretty cool and is now time for a good fight next chapter.

Velvet Kiss is basically hentai without the genitals drawn. I wasn't aware there was a plot considering there were entire chapters of nothing but censored sex.

I never claim that manga on my lists are actually good. There was some conspiracy plot though.

Flame of Recca 159 - 329 (end)
tumblr_m5bflb6bel1qbxqfpo1_500.png


The final arc was pretty good. The suspense, the action and intensity and even the ending itself. I think this has an example of how to actually do a decent ending for a longerish manga. And on the ending
Yanagi should have stayed a spirit, it was more powerufl that way and I was actually tearful about it when Recca whipped out Phoenix and etc, also when Kaoru left with Kirei to go to the past, that was intense, nice for their relations to be better but to leave the other friends behind. I hate friend departures like that
.

6 / 10 overall. Virtually every fight was predictable, and many of the twists forseeable, however it did have some surprising moments. I liked quite a few of the casts members, on Team Hokage, Mikagami with the water sword madogu, Ensui (and whom like all of my secondary protagonists...tend to lose), Kaoru with the Kogan anki madou (hilarious, powerful, and cool, reminded me of Killua in HxH), and on the antagonists, Joker (pictured above, looks cool, and is funny), wish we got a Joker v Kaoru fight.

Major hinderance of the manga was just that super long tournmanet arc which seemed to make up over 110 chapters, and then after that another arc that just never took off until way late in the end of it, which just flowed into fillerish chapters to this final arc...oh and chapter titles were quite spoilerific, what was the writer thinking? And lastly reusing the same antagonists is kind of lazy, too many exposed boobs, and I dont think the manga needed to be extremely graphic in regards to character deaths and blood.

If you like Joker, read Mar. It's strongly implied that one of the main characters is him with amnesia after the events of Recca.
 
The problem with MAR is that the events are unfolding way too fast, there is a HUGE tournament arc, the ending is rushed and MAR Omega doesn't add anything.

A shame, as its premise was promising.
 
Is Mixim good ? I remember reading the first chapters but letting it go quickly. Maybe I should read it. Unless it has been quickly and swiftly cancelled like MAR.

-its lost the plot a long time ago. Remember when Part 2's only real theme was "the younger generation replacing the older ones"? Well its even lost that plot

-This arc would be a lot more enjoyable if it was the payoff of the Hueco Mundo arc rather than just randomly generated villians

Beelzebub
-Ha! Figured it was that old man. Needs more plot development now. Or more Aoi jokes. Either way.
-I'm glad this series doesn't forget its ensemble cast

Funny because Zenkichi's reason for not telling the answer was clearly to give time to the readers to do it themselves. It's a shame there's no meta character around to lay that out in the open (Zenkichi was about to find an excuse before he got interrupted).

Well yeah. I just feel like the logic to get to the answer is crazy/loose enough that there are probably 15-300 different plausible answers, so there's not much point in actually trying to figure it out.

At times I feel like the Kanji girl was meta self-evaluation of the author's own crazy logic

If you do some mental gymnastics it could still count for the last fight since Itachi dispelled the Edo Tensei and supposedly original Madara with it :p
