Are we certain Seo isn't ghostwriting this?

Went to clear up my list because there's too many fucking junk on it that I started as a kid and still remained on-going status. Shrank 200+ ongoing manga to under 120. I really don't see myself picking off where I left. My time would be better off rereading stuff I like.
Can't bear to delete Pastel though.

Spotted Flower?
Aye
Assuming most Pixiv fan artists are influenced by the anime, the trends are rather similar save for Seo x Waka which have yet to pick up steam.
On another note, I like your avatar. Maeda and his tanukis can burn in hell.
Lewd.

Oh my at mikorin's illustration that accompanies the popularity poll (which I guess is from the fanbook?).
(Kinda NSFW if your workplace doesn't like the upper body)

Poll results btw.
Even though it's a shounen there are definitely more girls following it in japan. :lol
Good to see maeno being where he deserves to be.
Also tomoda is too low.

By far my favourite Inio Asano works and I read pretty much everything from him.

Nah, it's actually a cutesy manga.
excuse me if I don't believe you
I see a tragedy tag
this looks of interest I guess.
Wow. I missed all the fun.
All but one of them are dead.
Hm. Is this an LN adaptation?

Maeno should be dead last.
Mr Salmon is also a better mascot character than the tanuki.
Sumire 16-sai!! ch1-End
Sumire 16-sai!! is an interesting manga in that outside of the initial premise, an old guy impersonating a perky high school girl with a doll, most of the actual setting and story tropes are rather straightforward, yet with the simple addition of this plot device the various overused concepts take a new light not much in the manga itself, whose characters react accordingly to the ridiculousness surrounding Sumire, but rather in the connotations of what her existence might mean, particularily when one could consider that the majority of beloved fictional female characters are, like Sumire, a doll controlled by some guy the author.
Yet, despite this rather unnerving vision of such characters, as one read through the manga, one can slowly realize that Sumire is for all intents and purposes a person, if fictitious one, and like all persons possesses her own personality and emotions, with her own influence on her entourage, which itself might either simply be the characters of a manga, or might symbolize the readers themselves. As such, her artificiality notwithstanding, Sumire is truly a "person" that lives and breathes life in the manga, all the while bringing her own twist to the typical high school setting.
In conclusion, Sumire 16-sai!!, while at first glance seems like a mostly comedic manga, is a rather multifacetted work that can either entertain or unnerve the readers, but before all else presents a new view to the concept of characters themselves, yet it doesn't try to destroy or criticize said concept but rather help you appreciate the characters more, as well as the work of the author behind them.

I meant the dust jacket it got over here, not the cover proper. This one:
To put it in line with past dust jacket over here for Punpun:
I felt that pure white dust jacket created an interesting contrast with some of the content of the last book.
I think the writing itself is fine. Really good actually, especially since it's not your first language. Really all you'd have to do is switch some commas for periods.

Deep inside, i know that Mikoshiba is the best girl all along.
And that illust is so
TLExactly. The run-on comma problem is extremely common for people who have a good conversational grasp of the language but don't necessarily need to write long-form articles very often (even native speakers). But it's easily solved just by tossing out some commas and replacing them with periods. Another tip is just to read in your head or out loud what you've written, and if you're running out of breath too often, toss in a full stop.
My french is terrible btw
Well personally I tend to use commas instead of periods whenever I think the subject I'm writing about fits the overall sentence. I guess this is a bad habit.
Oh, ooh, sorry Jintor I was dense this time.
I think you're having a little difficulty separating the concept of the sentence from the paragraph, which seems to be what this implies: "I think the subject I'm writing about fits the overall sentence".
In primary and secondary education in English-speaking countries, students are usually taught to begin paragraphs with a topic sentence introducing a subject or concept, followed by supporting sentences to further elaborate on it. Obviously, sentences are delineated by periods rather than commas. I don't know how prose is taught in France, but your post would definitely look off to a native English-speaker.

Then why are you biking?
So apparently this is ending pretty soon? Which kinda sucks as I thought that it's going to be a series about a club of girls doing marathon running, but all it turned out to be was a girl trying to form a marathon running club with a lot of angst. Which actually works pretty well as a short story when I think about it, but I still have my expectations calibrated for a club about marathons. Guess I'll reread it once it's done with those expectations in check.
