Finished Dororo. That abrupt ending killed me, but other than that I liked it a lot. It's Tezuka, what more can I say.

Now to finish Saturn Apartments vol. 4, and Azumanga Daioh.

To Love-Ru Darkness 18

I love this manga. Not back until June? I'm salty 'bout that though

How do you guys read To Love Ru?

I feel disgusted and ashamed by proxy just reading people post about it.

At least bad smut that I do read like Velvet Kiss does not make me hate myself even thinking about it.

Saturn Apartments vol. 4

Ah this manga is so good and heartwarming. The complete focus on the main cast was good and it seems like things are moving forward towards Mitsu's eventual descent to Earth by the end of the series.

I'll keep saying this: more people need to be reading this series.

I do need to grab volume 3 and 4, though I've already ordered too much books for the month...

Come on man, of all the "communities" in GAF I honestly feel the manga thread is the one I fit the most. Just need to vent a bit with the rest of "my" community here.

I apologize if it bothers you that much.

I love how Momoka called Switch out. It looks like we're up for the second half of his arc soon. Can't wait. This manga's incredible when actually addressing issues in the narrative.

I'm sorry man, we're here for you. The good news is that you can wait for the DLC ending or just move on.
 

Parallax

best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
I am in awe that people still read darkness. Is there a plot yet? Or is it still random ass sexual shit and that makes the main loser dude look like a horndog? Has the king showed up yet?

I think.... I think I'm just going to play the shit out of Devil Survivor: Overclocked and Devil Survivor 2 right now.

Damn it, I wasted an incredible amount of time for that series. Playing ME1 multiple times, playing ME2 multiple times.... God right now that seems like such an idiotic thing to do. The worse thing is it is just that 1% final stretch that ruin the entire franchise for me. The rest has been a very magnificent experience, but just that 1% managed to ruin the entire franchise from the beginning to the end..... goddamnit fuck that shit.

I apologize, this is off-topic I know. Sorry. Now I need to read something cheerful like Yotsuba or a beautiful one like My Girl just to clear my mind from that.... that filth.

LB, bro, all I can say as a fellow ME3 sufferer is that it'll heal with time.

it's just that the me3 ending bitching thing is fucking everywhere and now that there is a thread dedicated to that shit you just decide to dump some pics in here, it's not like you're gonna get much discussion on that in here since all you did was dump some pics. You would have accomplished the same thing by dumping those pics in the me3 ending thread because all your mangagaf bros who played me3 would have mos likely have been reading the thread or something.


it's just annoying is all.

Alright I apologize if my... bitching... here is out of place and my... pic dumps.. are bothering you that much. This is just a gut reaction and the first place I can think of to share my feelings about it is this thread.

Again, I'm sorry.

Hahaha that mayo. Good one. Though I wish Momo tried to lick some of it off Haruna's face (after all if there's a harem there needs to be an orgy, might as well practice while you can).


I wanna post about classy manga but I'm too busy watching magical girls animu

What kind of manga is Hayate no Gotoku? I looked at the newest chapter and I'm seeing some potential
Hayate is one of those series that you should completely understand what it's about after reading the first chapter. So just read the first chapter. Now that you showed interest I won't let it go until you try it.

Say what you will about Beelzebub and Gintama but I think Hayate is the most consistent comedy manga.

For some reason I was thinking about Bleach (even though I haven't read it in years) and it dawned on me

does Kon still even exist

Just looking for something to read.
Dainana Joshikai Houkou
Takagi and Kanemura are two normal high school students in a near-future Japan where many things are different but taken in stride. Technology has evolved to the point where items like face-blurring necklaces, sleep-control devices, and Willy Wonkaish meal-flavored gum are treated as fads. New services also dot the landscape, such as businesses that can help you reclaim memories and places that can upload dead people to the internet to continue living their lives in virtual reality. The two girls also treat encounters with androids, strange monsters, and aliens as somewhat normal occurences. Dainana Joshikai Houkou is a fantastical slice of futuristic life that proves that while society can change, people seem to stay the same.

Femme Fatale
The term “femme fatale”, or “deadly woman”, is a stereotype of an alluring woman who charms her lover into an unsatiable desire for her, and draws them into dangerous situations. Its Japanese translation means “the fated woman”. In this thrilling romance, Saito Hajime joins a club at his college and meets the “femme fatale”: Yukari Ebisawa, a graduate student who loves donuts and has quite a quirky personality – and a boyfriend. However, their relationship soon becomes complicated, interfering with their friends, work, and club duties…

Rabbit Doubt
There's a game going around Japan called 'Rabbit Doubt'. The premise of the game is that all of the players are rabbits in a colony, and one amongst them is randomly chosen to be a wolf that infiltrated the group of rabbits. Every round, the wolf kills off a rabbit, and every round, the group tries to figure out which of the rabbits is actually a wolf in disguise. Sometimes the kids who play this game decide to meet up in person, and Yuu, Mitsuki, Rei, Hajime, Eiji, and Haruka have done just that. Unfortunately, one of them has decided to take on the mantle of the wolf and has already killed once. Who is the wolf, and can they be stopped before everyone meets a very unpleasant end?

Sumire 16-sai!!

While bicycling to school her first day as a high school student, Renge Ohyama meets a weird girl who on closer inspection appears to be a life-sized doll--and this is not an advanced robotic creation or even a magical doll. Rather, a scary looking middle aged man controls her movements, puppet-like, and speaks for her via ventriloquism. Unfortunately, this perverted-seeming old man and his doll happen to attend her new school. Even worse, is in the same class and sits right behind her. And it seems the doll wants to be friends?!

interesting. Can't wait to get into this one. Highly rated by many. Anyone here read it or have any post read recommendations?

Just looking for something to read.

Are you recommending these are just looking for opinions on them? They are all pretty good.

Dainana Joshikai Houkou is fun and very charming. It's basically two girls broing around and then every chapter has some sort of quirky futuristic gadget. The translators are also also doing this strict 1 chapter a week thing which is nice.

Femme Fatale is a fantastic romance manga. The characters are pretty substantial and it doesn't have any of that fluffy shit most romance manga have. It's always full of tension and everyone is contemplating their next move like it's fucking deathnote. So yeah I strongly recommend this one. You might want to just wait until it's over though which shouldn't be too long. There is probably only one or two chapters left to translate.

Rabbit Doubt is a pretty standard horror survival game thing. If you like stories like stuff like 999 then you will probably like it.

Sumire 16-sai!! is amazing. It's absolutely hilarious and also has great hotblooded schoolyard passion. The puppeteer dude is such a bro.

ManGAF got moved to OTComm? I guess this means we'll see a lot less posts on Wednesdays...

:(

I was hoping someone would take the plunge with me. I was actually already familiar with Sumire, i just never read it. I like starting manga like Rabbit doubt. Because they always start out strong with an interesting plot, setting and hook. But it doesn't last, it turns into some boring horror, gore porn. Femme and Dainanan sound really interesting. i might start with Femme. Sounds like an original take on romance.

Are these completed? I finished Sumire 16-sai!! and yeah it was amazing.
Too bad the ending was rushed, was it cancelled?


Dainana and Femme are ongoing. Not sure about Rabbit. Oh intresting thing about Sumire 16, there is a prequel/alterante story Sumire 17.
