Mephistols is pretty dumb at times but that was hilarious with Fausts wink and Si-hun taking part.

I started reading Girls of the Wild's as well. Cool stuff.

Yeah its good stuff.
If you had to choose one slice of life manga to read then go with Seishun Kouryakuhon first. Suits your taste much better
How much of the manga is about shogi?
Makes me wonder why Viz has been ignoring it given it's from same author of Honey and Clover. That should make the marketing much easier for them

Damn you
. I heard good things about it, but there are too many manga to read. I have been delaying reading Shin Angyo Onshi for ever now. I gotta catch up on Medaka, TOG, Kuroko no basket, first. Then i will read Girls of the wild and Soul Cartel.Dedication Through Light

Kimi to Boku is my favorite Slice of Life.
Yeah I need to read this.
Nope, that would be Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou

This is so much better than the live action version due to Kubo's amazing art. Too bad the translations are dead and no one will pick it up again
Solanin is the best slice of life manga ever

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
My problem isn't NSFW, per se, it's the fact that every other post is a huge full page scan. I'm simply suggesting we keep the image sizes down and/or stick to single panels. It's starts to look super cluttered and difficult to scroll through when every other post is a full page scan from whatever issue the poster happens to be reading.
My problem with 4koma manga is a lot of times the anime adaptation is just so much more superior that it's pointless to read them. The only one that I liked and still read it occasionally every couple of years is Azumanga Daioh
edit: for humour slice of life, read Again. Solid entertaining stuff so far from the first two volumes and it has great art.
I think there's only a movie for the Yamadas so the manga might be better.
But to be honest I don't know a lot of 4koma, so if you could recommend me some mangas... Thanks.
EDIT : I'll read Again, thanks.
Still waiting for Yandere Kanojo anime.

Just do the superior GX. Or just read Battle City.
Out of the ones I read, the only one where reading the manga is still good is Seitokai Yakuindomo. I mean I guess the anime could be funnier for some people, but at the end, it's all the same shit of girls saying dirty jokes over and over again which I found surprisingly entertaining.
Also, avoid reading Working or K-On. Just watch the much much more superior anime adaptations, especially for K-On.
Battle City was the best thing to come out of YGO, so much hype from the god cards
I don't know about GX. It doesn't feel like Yu-Gi-Oh to me.
And I agree about Battle City, the four-way battle between Joey, Yugi, Kaiba and Marik was awesome.
I'm not going to fight you on that. Agreed.
I also think volume covers are alright like Lain/survivor post. And an example of an OK panel I think would just be one of the girl shots from Nisekoi or something. No spoilers and just kind of fun.
Flawless victory.

I stole this image. Normally I'd shrink.
Shogi takes a fair bit of the manga, though the day to day and drama things are also important.
I wonder if H&C sold well in America? I know it didn't sell all that well here (so March releasing here surprised me).
It needs more waifu battles.
Main character sucks all kinds of exotic ass. He is made tolerable only by the glory that is Dal-Dal.
I don't know any sales figures for H&C or if Viz expressed any disappointments about H&C sales but I know that it never managed to chart in the top 750 graphic novels sales list by BookScan for either 2008 or 2009.
Akame ga Kill:
I still have no idea where this is leading. It would be easy to simply say this is the end of the Esdese switches sides hopes, but there were two things in this chapter that make me think it isn't.
1. Tatsumi has clearly grown feelings for Esdese. He might fight her, but it's hard to imagine him actually being able to kill her now. That still leaves the open the possibility of another member killing her though.
2. The most important clue was Esdese's father saying that she "might be missing something in return" for being such a natural hunter. I really don't think this was a throwaway line. Tatsumi at some point might be able to make her retrieve the humanity and empathy that she was missing since birth.
Of course, this manga isn't exactly the happiest. And we might simply get the more realistic take that someone like Esdese is truly beyond saving.

Yes it needs this and more waifus. The MC sucks but he is clearly changing which pleases me.
I just quote things that are too big. Unless it doesn't fix things then I guess I'm just not posting an image!

Yeah, it's hard to predict how things are going to go in this one. If anything changes, I would guess it would revolve around that blood teigu, despite the fact that she was pretty much already like this before getting it.

Sucks moving to a new country. Now I have to wait even longer for the HST! Damn you timezones.

I see, having sex with your dog that turned into a cute girl isn't wrong, however since you consider the dog to be family then it's totally wrong and unacceptable.

On another note, I'm considering starting Prince of Tennis. I know it's crap bullshit shounen power sports manga, but it won't be boring.

A heel-face turn would be pretty hard to pull of at this point, but I get the impression the author thinks he really hit something by this Esdese-Tatsumi thing. Given Esdese's personality, she is probably going to end up being turned on by fighting him.

The right choice.
Jumping into the images debate, I browse this thread at work as well and I have to agree it is really annoying when "smut gaf" starts image spamming pictures of dudes with glowing crotches, but usually the images posted in this thread aren't too bad/too big of an issue as long as they aren't too numerous on a single page IMO.
I'm surprised that you guys browse this thread at work with images on. Putting "smutgaf images" aside, there are inappropriate gifs and avatars all over gaf. Plus, if my co-workers saw tons of animu stuff on my monitor, that would be awkward.
I turn images off via the browser. No issues here.
I turn images off via the browser. No issues here.
The rest of gaf/other sites I browse at work aren't an issue and I usually try to avoid reading or viewing anything that would be questionable if another coworker came to my desk so I never have a need to block images. And usually this thread is fine since I'm just reading manga chapter reviews most of the time. It's just that every once and a while I run into an "Aunt Tits" day or something along those lines and I have to bail out on the thread. It's not bad enough of a problem to complain to be honest, I'm just giving my two cents.

Keep in mind I only saw the anime, but after a while, it was just the same thing OVER AND OVER. I know a lot of shounen are repetitive, but PoT is just so damn predictable and has barely any variety. If it was all like the movie, it would be awesome, but it just got old fast imo.

I can only say for New Prince of Tennis, but I found it not boring for probably reasons the writer did not intend, well I guess it is possible they were intended reasons but still. But of the sports series I do follow, I think it was boring tennis wise as lots of time is just spent, well training, whereas in Area no Kishi lots of Soccer and Kuroko tons of BAsketball, and nice amounts of soccer in Ginga e Kickoff.
So I guess it just needed more balance in character stuff and tennis.
Pure Water Adolescence vol 1 End
Came across this while randomly looking for manga to read, only picked it up cause it had an awesome cover plus I saw the yuri tag.
It's about a student-teacher romance with Nanao falling in love with the school's doctor, Matsumoto. Pretty funny how their relationship starts by Nanao telling Matsumoto to stop calling her by her first name cause it make her heart hurt which led to Matsumoto kissing Nanao.
The focus on the age gap between them and how it will affect their relationship was alright. The main conflict arose from the fact that Nanao is throwing away her future trying to become a teacher and go to a nearby university just so she can stay by Matsumoto's side which results in some fighting between the two. One odd thing about the age gap is having Matsumoto showing some restraint just cause Nanao is a student. Seemed kinda pointless given all the other things they do.
At the end of the volume, the author was writing comments on each chapter and why she drew each particular story and telling random facts. That was pretty cool thing that I don't see that often in other manga. Like for example, she wanted to end the manga on a more depressing note cause that's what she is used to writing, however she was told by the editors to end it on a more happy note.
I also heard the MC never loses any matches

Sports manga with individual focus like Zero for boxing and Ping Pong are my favourites given that they don't drag on for a long time.

That witch seemed really disappointed she couldn't see sex between a dog-girl and a human.

You read it for the crazy attacks, basically. There's some surprise win/losses but, yeah, I guess it is kind of predictable. But, really, that's the genre for the most part.
To be fair, New Prince of Tennis is basically a giant training arc right now. Prince of Tennis is basically matches to matches to matches.
I hope you're ready for good art, manly tears, and black muscles.

Tomoyo returns!
2 great chapters in a row. We finally get to see Tomiki's father and 2 new potential additions to the harem! This arc is going to be great and probably lead to some advancements in the overarching plot.

Heh this was as good as I expected it to be even the actual plot. The female interest really served as a great point to drive the characters development. Though it fortunately was extremely overshadowed by the intense Kurata Isezaki friendship, which was pretty awesome. I hope the rest of the chapters follow suit though with the other two as well developing this further through typical school life and reflection of life stuff.
And I was actually feeling all happy and stuff during the intense climax part and then the goal, it was good.

Every boy gets his own chapter focusing on his own problems and love life, but in general Isezaki and Kurata get more focus than the other two.
