[A Huge Battleship]

Ritz 1-3 (END?)

What if the author of Saki was actually a young girl on a quest to find her father?

It would probably be nothing like this.

 

[dakkumauji]

Onodera actually confesses to Raku and they actually get together. In secret of course because Yakuza shenanigans (lulz at them even being remembered)

Then a couple months later they realize how boring it is and break up, leaving an angsting Chitoge free to pursue Raku (netting Tsugumi Mistress route in the process of course).

...Oh god that really would be Rage Town all over again, wouldn't it.

I rather they just toss in more keyblades

Do we get awkward sex chapters like KNIM and GE?

Only if they were drawn in scribbles

Imagine the reaction faces we'd get out of it.

But how else would explain how she got such artists to draw the spin-off Saki series?

A simple email and meeting!?!

Kimi wa Midara na Boku no Joou 1-9

I was expecting this to be lewd.

I was not prepared for how lewd this ended up being.

Ah, yes, I remember this. I wondered how far it would take the whole thing.

That far. It takes it that far.

Just wait for when Soma is over and tosh makes doujins of it later.

 

[dakkumauji]

Just wait for when Soma is over and tosh makes doujins of it later.

If it was in the same magazine as Super Interesting Darkness, he could probably start making them now.

 

[Finalizer]

Sure took their time!

I need this in my life.

 

[BassForever]

I very much look forward to the soma doujins

This is the part where I admit I've never read Saki. Because, well, mahjong.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

I very much look forward to the soma doujins

The SoTaku ones are amazing.

 

[Erigu]

Not long ago, I learned that Blade of the Immortal had finished its run and has been released in its entirety in the U.S.

Not quite true. In Japan, the series ended back in December 2012, but the US edition is still at its 28th volume (out of a projected 31). Maybe you're referring to illegal translations, but those are less than impressive so I'd suggest waiting for the official one.

Has anyone here read it? Thoughts?

The third arc (out of four) got a bit too long for its own sake, but it got better in the last one.
Overall, I liked the title quite a bit, even if it took me some time to warm up to the actual conclusion, which is a bit odd in certain aspects.

 

[dakkumauji]

This is the part where I admit I've never read Saki. Because, well, mahjong.

Well yeah, I admit the mahjong is pretty overwhelming even though I played mahjong a lot (though mostly cause the Japanese scoring system is leaps and bounds more complex than the style I usually play).

But, it has a cast filled with nothing but pretty much girls, enough yuri subtext to probably drown in it and surprisingly hot blooded for a mahjong series.

I only watched it so far and will probably read it uhhhhh someday, but it was pretty fun.

 

[scy]

I remember trying to read Saki with upandaway's help on understanding mahjong.

I'm still not sure I quite followed things but, yeah, basically just a lot of yuri subtext. That's easy enough to get.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

So, uh, it appears that the Mozilla of Manga websites is effectively dead

JPN publishers cracking down on spoilers and now the exertion of power of us publishers on illegitimate sites, the oppression of manga fans near and abroad is rising to new heights. At least domestically cherished series are being picked up for purchase left and right. Definitely getting soma v1 this month.

The main problem is how stupidly complex Japanese mahjong's scoring system is.

You literally score points based off anything in some shape or matter of how your hand is. I mean, I caught up to all the episodes of Saki so far and I still have no idea how the scoring system works.

And scoring is usually one of the more difficult things to teach people since it never matters until the end or if there is a certain amount of points you need to earn before you can declare a win.

I'll take my simple Hong Kong style mahjong instead.

But of course, you would just watch it for the yuri. It's everywhere.

Iris Zero 20

Awesome arc comes to a close. Some amazing imagery in this with the butterflies. Really good character progression.

This is really damn good.

 

[scy]

I just ended up reading it primarily for the yuri and plot.

Silly me for caring about the mahjong.

 

[Jintor]

i'd like to learn to play mahjong anyway tho

 

[scy]

It was taking me like ... forever to read a chapter I gave up. I'm a weak person.

In other news, I made myself sad by checking up on Nyan Koi.

The story of how a young girl invented the pedophile mahjong genre in the search for her father.

which one is this? or is telling me against the rules?

Yeah it's weird, but it's still boring. :\

I want more.

Dance till Tomorrow v2

It feels like not a whole a lot has happened over the past 2 volumes outside of the main characters continuously having mindless sex and random comedic moments here and there. It's not bad to have an aimless story like this, I just don't know what possible drama will there be in the next 5 volumes to keep it going cause so far, it's not all that exciting.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

In a Heartbeat 13

Finally potential progress on a relationship, only problem is that it must mean the series will wind down, unless we get sweet episodes of them winding down together. A spinoff featuring the backstory would be good.

learn the superior hong kong style

the power of yuri should keep you going

Interesting.

It basically did. It was all I kept reading it for and just learned to take the mahjong as it was given to me instead of trying to figure it out :x

District Hakkenshi [code:T-8] 14

Hilarious, I was expecting him to get powers or something but to use a common tactic combined with the mag opening to get the teachers to run was funny. Also all Shinos panels when the artist pretties him is incredible. Still the shimmering star of mangabox.

Fairy Tail Special

Never stop trying, Frosh!

 

[PhillipCostigan]

So, since I've got like 2 or 3 chapters of Iris Zero left, looking for recommendations of what to read next.

As usual, slice of life, romance type thing. Want something like Bonnouji and Horimiya where it's very much an obvious pair and it's adorable and whatnot. Don't mind length.

Scy recommended Seishun Forget! so I'm gonna give that a go, but open to more suggestions if people have them.

I just really, really want more Horimiya.

i will not quit

Also try Last Game (although there are some ineffectual rival characters)

Palepoli 3-4 (End)

This manga is one of those things that you'll remember forever for how batshit insane they are.

 

[scy]

Oh wow, I didn't recommend Last Game. I fail at life.

Onaidoshi no Onee-chan - I was pretty sure this was going to end with fucking.

It didn't end with fucking.

Maybe there's a second half.

Glad to see Kondo being a badass again.

Maybe I should take back my comment about it being boring and read everything.

So ... it's actually a good kind of insane?

Kenichi 560 - Disciples! Hooray!

Also, more potential fanservice battles.

Shokugeki no Soma 61

A chapter where Soma and Takadora basically act like parents.

THERE SHOULD BE NO OTHER END.

I haven't been reading Noragami for some reason and seeing the posts on it make me think I should.

nobunaga no chef - 56

Putting Kaede and Youko together just emphasizes their extraordinarily awful situation. Don't really see a happy ending for them, but I suppose no one in this manga will, ultimately.
