What...?

Oh, that one.

If you have time to waste and nothing better to read, sure you can give it a shot. Otherwise it's not really worth reading after the novelty of its initial premise wears off (which is about immediately).
Well I'll decide for myself, I like mindless reading. And if anything it'll be in the slowest humanly possible pace, so I'm not worried.

Eh, the whole thing with my favorite manga's not coming out on Wednesdays anymore is throwing me off completely. It's reminding me of the barbaric ages when everything came out on Fridays, truly dark times, lol.

Tonari no Seki-kun ch35

Seki-kun is a serial murderer waiting to happen. I'd read a manga where he's a criminal on the loose and Yokoi is the detective trying to foil his plans every time.

Wait a second...

Doujin Work ch9

This manga really knows how to catch me off guard. Geez.

I am probably blushing right now.

Speaking of Sunday manga, does anyone here read Nanatsu no Taizai?

I've found it to be really enjoyable so far, but it almost seems like it's about to end even though it's not even at 100 chapters and there's still 1 sin missing completely. If it does continue, I wonder how the story will progress without Hendricks and potentially the Demon Clan as an antagonist?

It gets talked about quite a bit here.

It's fun. Gets really shounen-y at times (especially with the current arc dragging a little more than I'd like it to) but it's still fun. Likeable characters, great artwork, some cool fights.

Hoping the anime adaption is at least decent.

How does it seem like it is about to end, the stuff with the demon powers and Melodias is still unaddressed.

Sister Blood (oneshot)

Oneshot from the Omamori Himari guy about a yandere brocon vampire.

Just read it. It's rather mediocre until the middle where the sister goes full yandere for three pages then go back to its mediocrity. Ultimately it read like a shitty Tsukihime fanfic, but at least the thought of Roa being possibly killed that way made me chuckle and the yandere action wasn't too bad.

Awww man. That's some nice atmosphere. I feel a nice and salty wind already.

And that old dude was super super nice. What a nice guy!

Oh god that finale...I should've seen it coming...I should've seen it coming.
I don't think I'll be able to handle the feels...

I don't know about you guys, but I really enjoyed this arc.
I guess that explains what happened to the non-human species, Ugo just turned them into humans lol.

The continuation of Even, where they solve their issues. Not much to add since it doesn't add much to the previous part outside of the resolution, but I must say the ending felt somewhat abrupt.

Hey Dresden, how's it going? Haven't seen you around in a while.

Oh yeah, irc has grown!

Er, a little... kinda... maybe..

Step In by Miman

Hmm, not very satisfying yeah. Coming from the first part, I was thinking she'd get over her possessive feelings at least, but I guess not.

dumb question, why isnt nisekoi on there?

Latest Nisekoi volume came out August 4th so it naturally doesn't last that long on the best selling list. If you look at the previous week you will see that volume 13 of Nisekoi has sold 333,951 copies.

It's not anywhere close to ending, Kodansha is prepping it with full force as its nest biggest franchise. Nakaba Suzuki is an incredible artist, so dynamic and expressive. He is a fully realized Toriyama.



When does Claymore start kicking into gear? Read the first volume last year, during a dark time in my life, and it didn't really grab me. Yhe interest is still yhere though.....

Yep, Nakaba Suzuki is talented. His artstyle has this sense of scale and distance that just give life to the battle scenes.

Ojojojo ch18

Seems like it shifted to the standard slow romance with cute moments but little progress. Oh well, that's par for the course for most romcoms after the main couple hook up.

Kokoro Kimiiro Sakurairo ch9

It's not limited to the two families either! If this goes on the whole town will be completely lovey-dovey.

Still working on Please Save My Earth, mostly. It's really great seeing the art develop even over the first five volumes. I also started Banana Fish and really liked it, but I think I'll hold off on reading it until I finish collecting it.

Other things on the to-read list:

Shigeru Sugiura's Last of the Mohicans
20th Century Boys (13 - 16)
A, A Prime
Astro Boy (Omnibus 1)
Blade of the Immortal (14 - 18)
Dragon Ball VIZBIG (1 - 2)
In Clothes Called Fat
Mushishi (4 - 5, 7 - 10)
Ooku (1 - 2)
Rurouni Kenshin VIZBIG (9)
Solanin
Vagabond VIZBIG (2 - 7)
Vinland Saga (2)
Yotsuba&! (1)

And What A Wonderful World and A Drunken Dream and Other Stories are out from the library. I prefer holding off on reading things until I have four or five volumes (at least) to read.

Good to see Ooku on your to read list. It's a really great manga, not only for the what if gender bender which is handled pretty well, but also for how the historical setting is used.
it's one of those works that can make me really sad because certain actions by the scheming people feel too realistic and plausible.

Only 3 more chapters? I was liking this arc, and I was hoping it'd stretch on a bit longer.

Plus we need more Sylvia.
 
Man it's really true that an Author's art can drastically improve. Like If you compare the beginning chapters to later chapters of Tokyo Ghoul the art has significantly improved. The shading and details of the art is great.

So MangaGaf are there any Authors that you can name where their art has significantly improved further on a series.
