Wait wait wait, there is no manga called Aunt Tits.

What are you guys talking about?
Anybody else had a misleading name experience?
The art is 100% shoujo, there was no surprise at all in the direction it took.

You need more training, young padawan.
 

Zekes!

It wasn't with manga but... I watched the Vampire Knight anime. Thought to myself "Vampires are awesome (this was before the Twilight hype), Knights are awesome... this must be extra awesome, right?"

Wrong.

Yeah, that's my story.

Edit: It is time to nuke this thread.

I did the exact same thing (even the pre-Twilight "vampires are cool thing").

Then I learnt it was Shoujo...

Haly's Rules of Manga:

#245 - Everything with "Vampire" in the title is shit.

Things I didn't like
-Pacing at times was rushed
I agree. When glasses girl's boyfriend died. I was wondering If I had missed all the characterization he apparently had with everyone. but realized it was all off screen so I wasn't really all that sad when he died.

Hey hey, just because it's shit doesn't mean you can't enjoy it.

Some people have shit tastes, the sooner they admit to it they sooner they can enjoy things without shame.

I follow that rule now.

But this was years ago when I was naive and young, and I thought there'd be a few good Manga/Anime's with vampires in them.

That dream sure got crushed so hard and it hurt me so much, I still weep. T_T

I regret nothing!

RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE.

(Re: Minamoto, not Wolf Guy, although it applies to both really)
 
You just don't get the social commentary behind the rape in Wolf Guy.

Dear lord how awful that was. Picturebook example of how NOT to do a rape scene.


You need to finish more manga

You're free to recommend me something short, finished and good. Almost everything I read is either too damn long or not finished.

Actually, as rape scenes go, it was pretty well done.

If you were drawing porn anyway.

Read Saikano.

Minamoto 25:
FUCK. IS THAT ALL?

I NEED MORE OF THIS.

THIS IS ALMOST BETTER THAN TLRD.

Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer
Ping Pong
Planetes
Solanin
Takemitsu Zamurai
Gambling Emperor Legend Zero Part I (you can ignore part II until it's finished)

They should be all relatively short (less than 10 volumes) and all of these manga have survivor's seal of quality

Oh and that one character pretending to still matter.

Japanese twilight with a twist. I gave that up years ago.

Vampire Knight is much better than Twilight.

For one, it's just a typical shoujo story but with vampire flavoring.

Twilight is something entirely.

The part where a brother and sister should get together because they are pure blood makes it worse than twilight. I draw the line to reading manga and watching anime at incest, and very young girls being very sexually agressive.
