I love Bokura no Hentai. It's a rough read tho, and I never did finish it because of...reasons.
I also love MonMusu!
Truly my love is all-encompassing.

I feel like I'm the only not dtl member who really likes Black Clover :X
Fuck the novel characters though
That said, we're looking at a notoriously shit studio handling an adaptation of something mediocre.
None of us are confused as to how this will turn out.
Christ Bokura no Hentai is in the same mag as MonMusu.
How absolutely bizarre.
EDIT: Whew, just finished. This is everything Wandering Son could've been but wasn't. I think it's dethroned Wandering Son as my favorite manga, but that might be recency bias.
Novel characters killed the series for me, if you need a separate medium to tell a story then fuck off, at least have the decency to do a recap because I'm not reading a series that is constantly make me feel like I missed a goddamn chapter.I feel like I'm the only not dtl member who really likes Black Clover :X

Out of curiosity, what series other than Naruto do folks think Pierrot did/does a bad job at?
It's clear there are a few stinkers like Beelzebub, but on the whole, there isn't much to give them the reputation they seem to have here.
*Read ShindoL's latest update about his upcoming oneshot*
*laugh*
TSF Monogatari 4.0 physical for patrons yeah!
They made lots of series I loved, like Urusei Yatsura.
People who shit on Studio Pierrot make me sad.

The sad thing is the novel characters actually seem pretty cool and the glimpse of their story we saw seem really cool. I want to read the novel... but its not in English fan or official translation :|
I agree with you I'm not trying to excuse what BC did, I'm more venting frustration since part of my brain says these scenes would really shine if we had the lore to know these characters. Even if Viz had given us the book day 1 when these characters showed up for free it wouldn't excuse the decision to incorporate them without a flash back arc.
Pierrot made the Tokyo Ghoul animes though. Barf.
If you like delinquents engaging in Sports, try Slam Dunk or Rookies.
Yeah. I mean, if a company/studio are around for nearly 40 years, they are bound to be producing a whole catalogue of shows that range from great to bad.
I get if people don't like how the Naruto anime had been handled, but trying to take it as an example for the studio's entire resume is very suspect. Pierrot worked on a lot of great shows as well recently (and maybe more importantly, a lot of successful shows).
Bokura no Hentai is a pretty solid gender bender. Definitely recommend it to anyone interested in the genre. One complaint I had bout that series is that its get pretty wonky with its love quadrangles by the end.
My only complaint was that the epilogue fucking ruined the ending.
It has a plot. Wandering Son is a slice of life that kind of goes nowhere because Shimura just... isn't very good at sticking landings. My impression is she really just gets bored of her works but never wants to end them so they just fall off whenever she feels like it.This got my attention. Wandering Son is a favourite series of mine, so I'm interested in how this one is better.
I'm going to pretend it's non canonical xdMy only complaint was that the epilogue fucking ruined the ending.
I do not know why gender bender is the one category that almost immediately makes me disregard a manga
Hi guys, hoping you can help me out. I am not a big comic/manga collector, however I was one time a really big Akira merch collector. I have a collected volume (book 4) that was part of a limited run of 1500 copies that has "A/P" in the number field. Does anyone know what this means? Cursory Google search says this could stand for "Artist's Proof/Print" but there's nothing obvious about the book that would tell me if this is true.
Can anyone tell me the significance of "A/P"?
Is this the Grafitti design book? I know some of the volumes go for a fair bit of money, but I am not sure how rare v4 is.
A/P is usually "Artist Proof" like you said. Outside of the 1500 run. Could be worth a little more than the regular 1500 print book but you will have to find the right selling channel/buyer.
Yes, I have volume 4 and 5 of the Graphitti books. They're not in tip-top shape so I'll probably be trying to sell them for less than what they seem to go for, I had just never looked at the actual numbers until today when I considered it. Is there a more suitable place to try and sell them than Ebay?
Thanks for the info!
Laughed my ass off at the last HinamatsuriA new Chio-chan chapter and a new Hinamatsuri chapter on the same day!
Christmas truly has come early!
Arifureta Shokugyou De Sekai Saikyou Ch 1-7: All in all this is very similar to Dungeon Seeker but this one manages to convey the story much better and the artwork has some truly dark panels. Not NRT betray here so far... but we do have a girl suspended half naked within a cube if that's your sort of thing.
I remember reading the webnovel for that one. It becomes complete shit after the first volume.
Lack of new Jump this week hitting me hard.
The wait for Rindo to reveal her true power as the best cook at the school is too much
Doubt she competes in this team shokugeki, lets be real no way azami trusts her after the stunt she pulled.
Dungeon Seeker Ch 1-8: Another one of these transported to another world stories, so the premise is nothing new. However I do enjoy the whole sense of evil and despair that this brings with it. I mean being sacrificed by your childhood friend and your bully into a unbeatable labyrinth, in which you get married to a cannibal who cuts off your leg.... So yeah check it out!It's nothing special just a dumb and easy read..

Koi No Kotoba Ch 1-3: Friend sent this to me... and now I'm sure i'm on a list somewhere.All in all it's quite sweet if you ignore the middle aged manga artist banging a middle schooler... though some of the scenes seem to be hinting at something darker.
Kindred Ch 1-12?: Get back to me on this one.. as it has promise but so far is squandering it.. hopefully the next chapter saves it for me.Vampire Revenge Story.
Ultimate Antihero Ch 1-7: Another piece of generic Light Novel rubbish. Super powerful guy has his powers shackled by the remains of the world government after daemons invade and he single handedly stomps them. Is called a fiend and seen as a menace but if actually to nice for his own good.. Unless! You mention his dead friends and then boy are you in trouble.Feels like a poor man's Mahouka almost.
[NEWGATE] Ch 1-23 (As well as 1-5 of the Lightnovels): Really enjoying this adventure into another world (from being trapped in a videogame deathgame). This is constantly pointing fun at it's own genre while also giving me one of my favourite protagonists I've read in awhile. Also you have got to love how over the top it can be sometimes, as it just become even more epic. Quite looking forward to seeing the true strength of the Main Character, when he really loses it as it's been hinted at being something quite demonic.
EDIT: Anyone who can help me stop this post from being such a mess please tell me xD

Yeah, New Gate is surprisingly good. It's one of the few manga where the MC being overpowered doesn't make it boring.

MC isn't an asshole, which makes it a lot more tolerable.
I should start reading Blood Lad again
