I'm looking for a new series to read. Preferably ongoing and preferably already in its prime. A few I've enjoyed are:

Magi, Psyren, Sanctuary, Crow, Yotsubato, Goodnight Punpun, Sun Ken Rock, Cage of Eden, Liar Game, Gantz, Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer, Urusawa's works, Ito's works, Fukumoto's works, Suicide Island, Yakitate!! Japan, Berserk.

I really enjoy survival manga, but closer to Suicide Island than stuff like Highschool of the Dead or Cage of Eden. It needs to have intrique or action, I'm not a huge fan of romance being the only thing holding a story. The larger the scale the better too, I'm a huge fan of high fantasy ( ASOIAF, WOT, Malazan, Discworld ), the more complex the better!

TWGOK

Surprise surprise, Ignis was right. Excellent execution though.

I honestly believe that by now I know more about this series than anyone except Wakaki himself.

 

[scy]

DMC HD collection OT. Fans of the series should get hype since Dahbomb and I are doing it.

Oh yeah, that's in like a week or so, isn't it? Dang. Completely forgot.

It's a bit old but if you liked Monster and Pluto I'd recommend Tezuka's Adolf. It's not quite the same but I still loved it as a huge fan of Urasawa's stuff.

If you want something manly with lots of fighting, read Fist of the North Star and after that Fist of the Blue Sky. The former is essential.

I'm not that familiar with survival manga but Battle Royale probably fits that niche.

I've heard that the BR manga is kind of terrible. have you read it? What were your thought compared to the film/novel?

 

[Zekes!]

I finished Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer

uwaaa that was some good stuff

 

[Lirlond]

I've heard that the BR manga is kind of terrible. have you read it? What were your thought compared to the film/novel?

I haven't read the novel, but the film is, imo, better than the manga. The manga has some pretty bad pacing, everything is really drawn out and it makes it a tough read.

 

[Wiseblade]

Yeah, because you're totally not secretly Wakaki... ¬.¬

 

[Glass Rebel]

I tried

Have you read Shamo?

I've heard that the BR manga is kind of terrible. have you read it? What were your thought compared to the film/novel?

Hard to say, I've yet to read the novel but I like both the manga and the film. I liked that the various encounters between the students got so much screen-time. The characters are also more fleshed out, especially Kiriyama is menacing as hell. The manga is pretty looooong though (15 volumes) and I guess it hurts in the long run but in the end I thought it was a worthwhile read.

First Kishimoto, now Wakaki.

DOROHEDORO

In a city so dismal it’s known only as “the Hole,” a clan of sorcerers have been plucking people off the streets to use as guinea pigs for atrocious “experiments” in the black arts. In a dark alley, Nikaido found Kaiman, a man with a reptile head and a bad case of amnesia. To undo the spell, they’re hunting and killing the sorcerers of the Hole, hoping that eventually they’ll kill the right one. But when En, the head sorcerer, gets word of a lizard–man slaughtering his people, he sends a crew of “cleaners” into the Hole, igniting a war between two worlds.

I remember when a couple people thoght I was Oda. There's no way I'm the brilliant author...

 

[Squall ASF]

Or maybe humour is subjective.

It is completely subjective. It's just the choice in words seen sometimes that are so over the top. Not just about funny stuff, but when people like things in general. Or maybe I'm just jaded and don't know it but man the adjectives that are thrown around sometimes. Not a big deal though, why begrudge someone's happiness or enjoyment?

I had been reading it consistently, enough to get through the arc with Tokiya Mikagami, water sword such guy at the carnival, but then I put it on hold to marathon the reborn anime. Probably get back to reading it soon since it was really compelling.

Yeah I think you'll like that series over all. I enjoyed it and it was nice that it was already completed so I could just marathon all the way through. I don't remember when exactly that was, what number dragon is Recca on now?

Biomega vol 1

This manga is so much more easier to comprehend than Blame ever will be. Even though I still hate how it only focuses on the MC and what's exactly surrounding him with rare explanations of the settings, I still got the gist of the plot. Also the last chapter was so badass. They launch like 10 missiles in the sky to blow up bunch of cities and you know what the MC does? He fucking snipes the missiles in the air. Badass MC.

Oh yeah, this manga also has a talking bear with a sniper

Nooo you can't let him beat you!

You are the last man standing to fight against the evil of gunbo.

I wish you luck my nakama

I don't think people are actually praising other manga though, is my point, just discussion. But that's ok, I won't delve into it further since you're a TWGOK nakama.

This is pretty cool. Battle shounen with a cape/coat/piece of cloth that is also a dog. I really like the art.

Edit: Oh goddamit, the group doing it JUST dropped it. I hope someone else picks it up. Might as well read the 3 remaining translated chapters :/

 

[gunbo13]

Since I'm all about the drama around here,

Spoiler

lol

let me tell a quick story. There has been some discussion about the fine literary work we colorfully refer to as "Aunt Breasts." The basic question is why would you "enjoy" watching a guy feel up his aunt? Incest eww, feeling up lame, etc... etc...

I call it the "watch my character run in an MMO" effect. You see, when you play an MMO you can sometimes play for thousands of hours. And as a guy, you may not enjoy watching the backside of some gar dude for that duration. So you instead create a female so you can watch her backside. It's not like you are "hawking" her as she runs getting ideas, you just find it to be an improvement. Then you find that you can clothe her less to make the experience a bit more "vivid." It sort of devolves from there.

We read popular battle shounen, tasteful romcom like TWGOK, funny stuff from Beelzebub, drama in Lucifer BH, and more artsy manga. But do we need to read a bunch more manga that all resemble those? Do we need to really see the same power-ups, otaku references, gag comedy, friend slaughter, and weird art? Fuck no so shut it! Aunt Tits doesn't star my aunt, so I don't give a fuck. Instead of seeing the typical shounen gags, I'll laugh as the dude awkwardly makes out with his aunt. And instead of seeing out of proportion or stupid looking females, I'll take a gaze at the nudity in the trashy romcom. Rito can have my sword for grabbing a pair of boobs every chapter instead of some idiot big 3 rip-off MC who is 10 fuck ways from stupid.

So yea, some of us just like to look at the backside of a barely clothed female ninja instead of a fat dwarf with a battle axe.

how come no one ever told me about Yomeiro Choice???

A harem about where dude's 3 future daughters travel to the past to get their (high school aged) dad to hook up with their respective mom's to prevent them from not existing? Written by a primarly H author? Ooooooh boy!

I put my heart and soul into that post. If you look closely, all the punctuation is from my tears.

Does anyone have any recommendations for any good single volume manga published in English? I'm ordering Saturn Apartments vol.4 and Tezuka's Dororo right now, and since I have a bunch of gift cards I figured I'd try to use them up.

I was contemplating something by Natsume Ono, 'cause I really enjoyed her book "Not Simple". Any other suggestions?

I think I've only said this in the anime thread, but I really disliked that accel world ruined it's good premise by cramming as many typical cliches of the romcom genre as it could.
