This thread is the gift that keeps on giving. Keep finding these new series to follow.

Sesuji wo Pin! to ~Shikakou Kyougi Dance-bu e Youkoso~

Included the whole actual title instead of truncating it to my silly naming conventions so other people might be able to find it.

This is the cutest manga ever. And not in a moe kyun kyun cute girls doing cute things way. It's so cute because of the earnestness and personalities of the main guy and girl.

Basically a short, shy, bad-talking-to-girls guy gets into a high school and when they have their meeting to showcase all the clubs in school he gets super impressed by the ballroom dance-sport club's dance and how beautiful and amazing the senpai look. As a result he goes to the club the next day and eventually joins along with a short, shy, plain girl who feels the same as him. As they both are the only two who joined they get paired together and learn how to dance.

It's just fucking adorable. It's like reading the contents of a sugar packet. Both the girl and guy are just so fucking cute and funny and really want to learn how to dance and be cool. It's just wonderfully simple.

It does suffer a bit from "holy shit stop drawing the senpai so hot" syndrome like a lot of manga (Moyashimon comes to mind). Luckily the designs of the main two are very low key and simple by comparison so that they're shown even more adorablier.

It's nothing amazing but it's charming and enjoyable to just see them work so hard to kinda break out of their shells.

Netgame no Yome wa Onna no Ko ja nai to Omotta? ch.1 - 3
On the one hand, I am so indifferent to any sort of MMO that any of the game conversations or interactions within it don't do much for me. I think my brain kind of just glazed over the major conversation all four characters had during their real life meet up in chapter 2.

On the other though, I'm already loving Ako and her so far infrequent snaps into Yandere mode. Girl still needs a bit of guidance when it comes to understanding social relationships in both real life and online, but god dammit she's so well meaning in everything she does.

Don't screw this up, Rusian.

The Voynich Hotel - fin.

Click to expand...

What a fun little read. Voynich Hotel is an oddball mix of romance, cartoon humor, dark comedy, and supernatural horror. It revolves around the rundown titular hotel and the goofy cast associated with it. Ghosts, drug dealers, yakuza, mangaka, hitmen, kid sleuths, a robotic cop named Andyroid, a maid witch, a suicidal chef, and the owner of the hotel who supposedly beat Chuck Norris in a fight once - and they're all likable. Seriously. I rarely like everyone in such a large cast like this. Even minor characters who get little page time are still charming. While everyone leaves a positive impression, ultimately there's a bit more emphasis on the relationships, particularly the one between Elena and Kuzuki. Won't spoil anything, but Elena's endearing as hell and I enjoyed every part of them being together.

I gave Voynich Hotel an 8 on my MAL. I don't really have any issues with it anywhere. It's close to 70 chapters long, but the majority are about six to eight pages total, so it's actually a fairly brisk read.

Douman Seiman is the realness. Read Nickelodeon. Collection of short stories. There are two specific stories that are less than...20 pages I think each and are capable of making me feel stronger emotions than entire runs of manga.

The dude is fucking on point.

He also writes a loooooooooooooooot of fucking smut. Which is super entertaining and funny as hell but yeah, lotsa smut.

A chapter straight out of the Book of Revelations. RIP(?) forehead, scorpion was involved in the death of Alice's mom, and the council president isn't actually the ringleader. If the real 'queen' worked her magic, it'd go some way towards explaining something that's been bugging me since 2012, i.e. how the hell Sara got elected. Hoping we get some insight into her history / relationship with the big boss shortly.

She's pretty much the only reason to read this otherwise boring LN-inspired MMO series. Yay for yanderes~

Don't hesitate to read Dowman Sayman's smuttier works as well, such as Oddman 11, Ayame to Amane, and of course, the Sexual Instinct and the Hydrogen Bomb War, which contains several of my favorite short stories of his.

Oh ok that was fast. I wanna see that.

Sounds like Deku's progress for the near future will be a linear 'getting better' which I'm ok with. I hope that won't be the only thing for too too long though. After the Hero Killer I won't be surprised if he can hang in there without breaking his body ever again, even in emergencies.

Nisekoi ~33

The idea of adding ANOTHER key girl at this point is infuriating... Though I would have liked the idea if Marika was the promised girl and Onodera/Chitoge were completely unrelated to the lock as it'd make a very interesting dynamic. The idea that Raku was childhood friends with all 3, can't remember ANY of them, but amazingly all 3 have a promise key each with a different shape on the end leads me to think all 3 are the promised girl and child Raku being such a player promised all 3 the same thing which is why he can't remember who the girl is because he merged them all in his mind.

Edit: I kind of like Marika because she's the first character in this stupid series to just be upfront an honest with her feelings. Its much better then another O///O girl of which we already have 3

  1. The first 4 volumes were some beautiful cybertechno-war sci/fi. For Eden It's an Endless World. From True Savior. (???)
  2. This is a light and whimsical slice of life of the author of the very awarded The Town of Evening Calm; The Country of Cherry. For Nagai Michi. From Turin Turambar. (rev)
  3. Then the actual plot started and everything changed. Everything I'd gotten bored by in the first chapters became its strengths. For Purple Qualia (Qualia the Purple). From Droplet. (rev)

  22. Two girls, one realistic towards love and the other idealistic about it become best friends and have their respective love interests. For Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare. From mdubs.
  23. Not a bad start, seems to be pretty much a slice of life so this could become interesting. For A Demotion Isn't That Bad 01. From dakkumauji. (imp)
  24. The lead is pretty damn great and while it is pretty much like a people have special powers series, he really helps make this enjoyable. For Saike Mata Shitemo. From dakkumauji. (imp)
  25. What if Hachigaya Hachiman could see the future? Enjoyable one shot. One day you'll have your moment Hachiman! For The Negatibrain. From dakkumauji.

  49. I'm glad this ended before the gimmick wore out. Overall this was a fun short manga that managed to stay amusing for all 7 chapters even though they were all pretty much the same thing.

  64. This was more competitive than I was thinking. For Best BLue 01. From Dedication Through Light. (imp)

  67. greatest romance ever drawn For Hatarankai Something. From Dresden.
  68. Lain's impressions of The Ancient Magus' Bride and Alice in Murderland.
  69. Silly antics with the power users. I assume the anime will get all KEY'D up so this will be my enjoyable version of it. For Charlotte the 4-koma - Seshun o Kakenukero!. From dakkumauji.
  70. It's nothing super original but it does leave the story open for a straight or lesbian ending. For Yuri na Watashi to Akuma na Kanojo(?) 01. From dumbyugi. (imp)
  71. A must read. For Heart of Thomas. From wonzo. (rev)
  72. Not bad, typical shoujo, but hey it's readable. For Hatsukoi Canvas. From dakkumauji. (imp)

  77. Instead of delivering death to people, these guys are responsible for cleaning up the bodies and the scene it took place. For Death Sweeper. From Usobuko. (imp) However, final opinion: "Well, I read the whole thing and I would advise you to save the trouble. Went off rails and eventually leads to abrupt garbage ending."
  78. And maybe, just maybe, you aren't going to be able to keep your promise that you "don't fall for straight guys"? For Yuki no Shita no Qualla. From bigkrev. (imp)
  79. That said, it actually has some redeeming features. For Gate - Thus the JSDF Fought There!. From Turin Turambar. (rev)

You should switch Nisekoi with The Ancient Magus Bride.

Plus The Ancient Magus Bride has a new cover and the banner would be a good way to get more people to read it even if it's a little.

Dont know why I keep on reading trash like Nisekoi.

Yeah, it'd be one thing if it was established that Raku gets drowsy after cooking or even if it was the shock of her statement caused some kind of short term memory lapse where after waking from the shock he forgot what she asked... But no he fucking got sleepy for no reason fuck this

That's the old banner. New one is up in the OP. I moved the old banner to the post I made so I could just link it in OP.

I mix in a variety of stuff. Nisekoi was just an easy pick at the time I made that banner because people were talking about it. Its replacement on the new banner is Tomo-chan, because people were talking about it.

Man every time i hear about the garbage in Nisekoi i can't help but think that the author is trying to wring out as much time as he can because he now has an irrational in fear of possibly being cancelled again

Seriously.
