Manga News/Discussion |OTD| Oh, you're reading manga? How cute...

eNTdc0k.jpg
All the civilisations that have existed since the dawn of humanity, and I'm born into an age where I can order manga with a well-endowed cyclops woman and the word 'jiggle' on the cover. It's almost enough to make me become religious.

Not Popular 120

They grow up so fast. This'll need a yuri tag if Emoji takes her feelings any further. Speaking of Yuri, she's currently hitting early-Tomoko levels of pitifulness. I mean, at least Tomoko has her own quirky charm that some people seem to find interesting.

Minamoto-kun 210-214

Picking this up again now that there's a decent release schedule going, but really I'm just riding it out until target #11. I'm kinda with Zweizer that making a big deal about #9's age and then having her look that young feels slightly unsatisfying.

It's Not My Fault I'm Not Popular(?)

I think this panel speaks for itself. It's remarkable how much the manga/Kuroki have grown since the very beginning. Actually feeling a bit emotional, haha...

Can't we have Midoriya give Mirio his powers !?!?

Dr Stone 26.
I thought it was a bit sudden but they had me fooled for a second there.

Promised Neverland 54.
So... I guess now it's safe to say that it's probably not a test. The dude just seems crazy. The fact he wants the kids gone but doesn't want to directly hurt them will create an interesting dynamic.

I wondered if her narcicism suggested her young appearance was all makeup/plastic surgery.

I honestly forgot, what's the deal with Yuri and Emoji girl?

Shokugeki 230

Much better, maybe because I give a shiet about these characters. Too bad Takumi will lose.

Too late, you're into this now!
this has happened to me so many times
At this point in my life, I don't think there's anything left inside me that hasn't awoken yet.

Dark Widow 3-4

Welp, forget what I just said.

iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls - U149 19

To the surprise of absolutely no-one, Chie gets her shit together and their performance turns out fine. I'd pray that the next arc focuses on someone more interesting, but the odds aren't great, since there's only one other decent idol who hasn't had her turn yet. AIso I appreciate the cameos from the other CGs, but the choices could use some work.

Oddman 11 ch29


She's quite a troublesome last boss. Lucky for Setsu she got off relatively lightly, though she should have taken up her harem's offer.

Okusan ch53

Driving can be such a pain will all the unclear signs, confusing roads and ogling bus drivers that won't let you merge.

Hakoiri Drops ch37

It's surprising she managed to survive this far.


His scary face can be useful at times.

Tomo-chan wa Onna no ko! ch632

Carol tying all her loose ends.

Tokyo DTED ch23

Idol culture is weird. All that just for him to go back home, lol.
 
Hone No Nazuki Made Aisu 1
An uncute girl confesses to a cute girl and is rejected for being uncute. Then x years later she returns as a cute girl to capture her waifu's heart. Somewhere along the line she also fails a few sanity checks, which is presumably what'll make this story interesting. The extent of her stability is still TBC, but assuming she's moderately unhinged I'll get some enjoyment out of this.

These chapters have been pretty good and I'm starting to regain interest in the manga again, although this whole arc has been pretty much tragedy porn.

OK, he's going to live forever, so that can't be avoided, but the sick wife? Meh.

I hope we get an explanation why this skeleton looks so deformed.

Oh, and Mizuki is a keeper, of course.

MangaGAF, I'm looking for a battle manga recommendation, one that has some fun powers mechanics where the characters keep developing new techniques or at least crazy weapons - think Yuyu Hakusho, Gamaran or Akame ga Kill!. Flash over substance is fine (though let's not get into Tenjou Tenge levels if possible, please).

Hmm, Law of Ueki maybe? It's a rapid fire of really inventive powers used in really inventive ways.

Of course there's a bunch of more famous ones like HxH that fit but dunno what you read already

I second Law of Ueki and Jojo is an obvious one as well. There are some other series I would recommend on the tip of my tongue that I just can't remember.
 
Tejina Senpai 56

That was a level of villainy beyond anything I've seen in manga for years. Senpai's a heartless individual and deserves all the balloon-related punishment she gets. I'm amazed that they're even considering going on a summer trip with her after that.

Murenase! Shiiton Gakuen 33 + 33.5
There aren't enough 'oh mys' in the world for this page. I could say nothing but oh my from now until Christmas and it still wouldn't come close to doing it justice. While it's unusual for me to side against Meimei in anything, she kinda deserves that outcome for not having faith in her friend. Hitomi, on the other hand, can just (literally) eat shit.
 

Principate

Saint Titanfall
Fire Punch

What in the hell am I reading? I can't tell if it's zany or deep.
How far are you? It's edge pure unadultured edge with more shark jumping than a speed boat in shark infested waters.

It's not serious but there are some serious themes in there.

Entertaining though.

JoJo
Law of Ueki
Gash Bell
Shaman King
Toriko
Flame of Recca
MÄR
Psyren
Kekkaishi
Hunter x Hunter
Hitman Reborn!, awful ending tho. But the journey is great.
Negima, once it shifts from Romcom to Battle Manga
Yumekui Merry

come to mind.
 
A Trial of Blood 13

The Mom couldn't be creepier even if she tried D:

I'm really interested in the payoff for this and hope it's worthy of the suspense they've built. If she's just a crazy lady obsessed with her son it won't be nearly as fascinating, I really hope the build up leads to something better based on Happiness (which is also good).

Later in I have to give it to the writer, they actually step back from the edge a bit. It's still not gonna win any awards or anything but I genuinely didn't see some of the plot twists coming and they made the series a lot more interesting.

Goblin Slayer on the other hand is pure edge. Will be avoiding that one.

Keijo and Tsugumomo are what you're looking for.

Danberu nan kiro moteru? ch26-28

Their school's teachers rules. And the isometrics are neat to know. Easy to do, too.


Muscles are serious business.

Tejina Senpai ch56

Well Senpai managed to succeed at a trick, even if the price was high.

This is all a setup for the beach episode however.

Murenase! Shiiton Gakuen ch33-33.5

The price for doubting their friend is high: a nice, shitty meal for the unbelievers.


How can you say you love her if you can't even drink her poop tea etc.

Tachibanakan to Lie Angle ch18-19

Konomi is also surprisingly popular. Wonder if Hanabi will notice her more.

Tomo-chan wa Onna no ko! ch633

Yeah, they've switched target to Tomo now.

Rokudou no Onna-tachi ch59

Time for the three stooges to demonstrate what they're made of.
 
Tachibanakan to Lie Angle 18-19

When the TLR-style lewd falling doesn't occur, that's when you know something's seriously up. Konomi clearly has a devoted fallback, so it's full speed ahead for the Iori route now. Right? Right?

Have you read Gash Bell?

If you like that one, have you ventured into his next work called Animal Kingdom? Do you wanna see grotesque animals fighting each other and gets crazier every time?

Seeing that there are plently of reccomendations already, here's one a bit more out of your comfort zone:

Yakitate!! Japan

It's a bread bakery manga with fierce competions, crazy powers and silly reactions.


I also really liked Mx0. :(
