Won't be unique for long. Ragnarok Odyssey on Vita already completed lifted the premise.

Kyojin have this dreadful feeling of grossly overpowered giants that it took a whole team to kill one, and the human keeps on the defensive side that humanity practically did not make any advancement since years ago. Not to mention that the human side's plans seem to always fail for various unforeseen reasons.

Premises may be similar (don't know about Ragnarok Odyssey though!) but I'm pretty sure execution is a whole different thing.

Wut.
Robot/spaceships porn ?
Mecha x mecha to be exact.

I've learned so much from this chapter alone. Like what seme and uke is.

It says a lot when I can read this comment and immediately know, "Ah, someone must have gotten to that Haganai chapter."
I haven't been keeping up with the manga and still immediately knew that Rika was up to her usual stuff.

I really wish this manga was more "age appropriate" and I wouldn't mind reading it.
Like what seme and uke is.
You should have known that already.

Unfortunately.

It's getting interesting, True Man's World was a manly stand.

The spine has been collected, the corpse is probably Jesus Christ

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
Rereading Eyeshield 21. Still one of the best shounens ever written, marred only by "black muscles".

I still haven't finished Eyeshield 21. Was scared away from everyone telling me the quality take a huge dip.
It's really only the last arc, with is pretty tacked-on and totally skippable. You could easily just read up to the Christmas Bowl and then skip to the final chapter, if you wanted.

Eyeshield 21 has my favorite cast of characters. And you always get to see them during the matches, everybody seems to attend every match.
 
Slam Dunk is the best sports shounen ever written and probably the best shonen ever written, only challenged by REAL but REAL is more seinin than sports manga at time.

A sports manga can be shounen or seinen.

Like you said though, basketball is just an excuse to tell REAL's story. It plays a big part to be sure, but it's definitely not the primary focus of the comic. Which reminds me that I need to order vol 4, 5, and 6.

Well, Slam Dunk and Eyeshield 21 are excellent sport manga. Though Ippo is probably the best sports manga I've read.

Absolutely, the last match alone is better than most other sports manga. E21 is also pretty good. Never really got in Ippo.

dis gun be good

Don't get me wrong, I read Slam Dunk and almost cried during the last match, but I still prefer Ippo. I caught up with the manga in one hell of a week and it was rollercoaster ride of emoties filled with intense matches that easily exceeded every match in the anime adaptions covered.

Ippo became a manga which I have to see through to the end no matter how many chapters will keep coming. As a matter of fact I would probably stop reading it if there was an ending.
 
I only really read Ippo and Eyeshield. Started Slam Dunk but got distracted. Gotta read it again one day. That baseball one shot Kishimoto did was better than the entirety of Naruto post timeskip.

I tend to enjoy Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru more than Ippo lately.
I personally like this and All Rounder Meguru to current Ippo.
Well sports shonen and sports seinen are quite different though.
No doubt, but his wording made it seem like sports comics exist only in the shounen realm.
Somebody who watches anime and reads manga with fujoshi characters. They never shut up with that stuff. Even Gahara gives us a run-down Bakemonogatari joking around, IIRC.
Can Mecha BL even count as proper BL? Also, the last part of this post was gibberish to me.

Seiji is such a pimp, one more heart captured, oh wait...
Jerkface senpai is back, Shou will never overcome this, won't she?
Also...

We’ll be using a designated typesetter for the next releases
Thank god for that, the picture quality is bad enough.

I was trying to say, does she even count as a proper Fujioshi if she doesn't actually like traditional BL stuff?

More posts should be done in images. Everything is so easy to understand and digestible!

She's more of a lunatic. But it will require a serious round-table discussion to decide if she is a fujoshi. We would first have to discuss if robots have a sex.

But nevertheless, fujoshi are the ones who use those terms, Rika aside. With embarrassment on my side since I've lost count on how many series I've experienced with fujoshi about. Reading shoujo doesn't help the situation. Or is that yaoi? Or both? I forget...guh. :/

I said before that this thread should be nothing but images. I now feel that that may have been a shortsighted idea.

The fuck? So um... is that black man the villain? Does the main hero triumphantly defeat him with sheer guts and determination? lol.

The black dude himself is actually a really sympathetic character . . . just the whole 'black muscles' thing trips folks up. Tbh it's kind of charming in a really quaint and ass backward racist way. I dunno. Maybe manga has made me a racist.
