God. Please no.
You still get the occasional series that gets to 500+ chapters. Hayate the Combat Buttler just reached chapter 500 a few weeks ago and Gintama is slowly getting closer to 600. I don't think there have ever really been many series that reach that many chapters though, hell a lot of the ones that have are still going.

I dunno if I'd say the era of 500+ chapter series is over when we have several series in Jump currently that seem to be doing fairly well which could easily go on for years because there is no end game in sight only a world that gets progressively bigger.

I know what all of those words mean, but when you put them in order like that my brain just shuts down.
Like, I cannot for the life of me picture Norell as a Bishonen.
"Handsome, but in a funny looking sort of way" is closer, I think.
i wonder to what extent the japanese 'take other books and convert them into manga' industry is thriving. I keep seeing that Apple Steve Jobs/Wozniac bio manga on shelves, and a few of my students are reading, like, historical manga that is literally billed as a 'more interesting textbook', so...

It could happen. I mean look what they did to Black Jack by Osamu Tezuka
Black Jack is a Bishounen in his new series called Young Black Jack.
For the most extreme examples (there's plenty with better release pace that had the same effect on me) there's Vinland Saga, Berserk, Saki etc. I enjoyed them a ton and they're some of my favorites, but I wish I remembered what the heck happened. Part of the reason why I like manga is to think back about my experience with it.
Still I'd rather read them while ongoing because they would take decades to finish, just a bit tiring being stuck in the middle of everything
I think C88 manga talk can happen in this thread, don't think anyone would oppose a new one for it I guess (it did get uh, a two page thread in gaming)

This sentence makes no sense.
Haly did you see the Soma yaoi rankings posted a while back. I was shocked

Monthly manga has this problem unfortunately. One month is enough time for you to forget about things.
Internet corrupted my mind.
Japan will always find a way.
Are those manga actually any good?
Manga or visual medium in general is much better to engage someone in learning than book. But there is some hurdle that could result in something counter-productive if every textbook converted to manga. It really takes a skillful mangaka to convey a historical reproduction with their drawing, and being both accurate and entertaining at the same time took a lot of effort and research. I guess if it just for inciting curiosity for student to learn more about the subject by their own initiative that would be sufficient, but replacing textbook wholly is a serious matter.

Is there a Manga Iliad?
I've always wondered how the manga Anne of Green Gables happened. Did it just have some random magical connection with Japanese people?

Amazing Reigan entrance!
Amazing Reigan entrance!
She stayed a couple years from where I stand.
I just finished talking with lazy about how depressing manga releases are.
Let me recover at least
Great to hear that you enjoyed the manga~
Fandom wars are serious business.
I don't see why not.
I wouldn't be so sure!
It's best if you just bear through the pain all at once.
Well, it ended today so the timing could be a bit off.
An OT that gives us all the publications could be interesting as well.
Yeah it could, it'd be a monstrous amount of work though.
Unless someone is up to make a catch-up thread about the works at Comiket (and I'd recommend to be careful about which works to bring up, I don't think some of the stuff we talk here would be so well received in the OT), I think it'd be best to wait for C89 to attempt a thread about Comiket.
Domestic Na Kanojo 63
Who wouldn't blindly trust this charming guy?
And oh noes, that pixelated kissing scene on a photograph. One out of 3000. How big are the odds that it will get published in their travel journal, or something? :O
Tsugumomo 72&73
Kiriha blushing is always good.

Yeah, I'd say it's better to just limit oneself to the smutty stuff, but that'd probably be frowned upon in the OT. Ah well.
Sorry to disappoint you.
On the other hand, Dulce Report II Ep. 5 was being sold there!
Some quick observation about day #3 of Comiket.
People, lots of people, too many people.
It was impossible to see things and I was gave up on checking most of the A booths due to giant queues.
Getting the first train is silly unless you want to buy things you're 90% sure will sell out. Today was by far the day with the most people, but even so I got there at 10:15 and I entered around an hour later.
My friends went there on the first train, waited some 4-5 hour and entered at around 10:15.
Jump doujins were oddly close to non-existance, even popular series like One Piece didn't even have more than 5 or so booths, compared to the several rows of booths at Boys Love day.
I think Soma was the Jump series with the most representation today.
JoJo was naturally nowhere to be seen today.
Tokyo Ghoul was also absent today (compared to yesterday where it had a fair amount of work).
There were a few Prison School stuff, but mostly Meiko (including an R18 cosplay video), I think I saw a single Hana doujin.
Some amusing stuff like manga guides to Linux kernel and Hacker guides.
Lots of games but a lot of them didn't even had screenshot, just anime girls artwork, if that much. Few had videos and even less had demos (though with the sea of people that might have been wise).
Yeah, I think we'd have to cut a lot (all) of the smutty stuff.

I warned you about the popular booths! Too bad that you didn't manage to check out these booths, but I hope you at least managed to meet some authors.
Smut is serious business~
Generally for the 3rd day there aren't that many series-specific doujinshis, as you can sell them on the 1st and 2nd day as well.
Hopefully you had good fun these three days~
The thing about the popular booths is that they're crazy busy but the works will be easily findable in Akiba the next day (or even the same day!), so unless you want some item specific to Comiket (body pillows, bags, etc) there's really no point going there. Much better to look around and find stuff you won't see for sale easily at Manga stores.
I'm not even sure if the people at the booths are the author's or not!
They sometimes rotate people, I saw at least 3 girls and 1 guy (max of two at once) at peachpulsar booth.
And it's very business oriented really (ask for the things and pay for them), so I can't say you "meet" author's, though I'm sure not knowing Japanese doesn't help.
Well, there was no Jump stuff either in the first day, not significantly so anyway, it was mostly gaming doujin, even if you are right about day 1 and 2 being more series specific.
Yeah, they don't have much time for pleasanteries, especially the most popular booths, but the authors should be there, and they sometimes accept requests for sketches (though you have to be early). If you just want to read the newest book, it's generally not worth it to queue half a day unless you're crazy dedicated and/or impatient lol
Jump was the second day. The first day was, as you said, mostly gaming (of which it's mostly Touhou and Kancolle).
Yeah, the fun of Comiket is to find unique stuff mostly.
I can't imagine sketch request though, not for the most popular booths, too many people there.
Second day was also BL day!
There was an huge Jump section but 95%+ of it was BL!
I don't think I saw a single non-BL One Piece Doujin yesterday, and I was in that section much longer than I wanted (friend requested me to look for some stuff)!
Went to all three days!
I posted my yesterday haul here.
I need to take pictures of today's pickups, I'll be sure to post them later.

Starting twitter. Hope you guys wont mind if i follow 
Oh they did put out stuff for C88. Just not what you wished for.
Well, most of the non-fujoshi market don't really care about Jump stuff, lol

It would probably be easier to recognize you if you put a Dowman Sayman avatar~
You only bought two?
That HomuraxJojo looks super interesting though.
I don't know that BL flood Comiket like crazy. Then it wasn't comic market in my country alone that packed with BL stuffs.
I reckon the rest of them are NSFWs
