ZERO (Matsumoto Taiyou)

Jumping onto the Matsumoto hype-train and getting to things I haven't read before.

Spent most of my evening going through the two volumes of this manga. One of his earlier works but still really good. The story of a aging world champion boxer looking for his last satisfying fight was an interesting perspective to take. Most of volume one set the stage establishing the main character and preparing for the main fight while the second volume focused almost entirely on the climactic fight between Goshima and his opponent. I personally wasn't digging the art as much as I did with Matsumoto's other works but it lent itself very well in conveying the almost animalistic tenacity from each fighter during the fight. Not only from a physical standpoint but also from a psychological perspective, the fight was amazingly intense from start to finish. I still can't help but feel that it ended too abruptly though. Would've liked a little more story after the match but despite that, it was a very good read.

[upandaway]

I tried that too after dakku (I think) mentioned it, but dunno, I've seen that concept done a lot better before (more than once). Oh well.

 

[kasane]

which one?

first love suicide pact?

haven't seen to many of those

 

[Antiwhippy]

Kunisaki izumo no jijou 6

So this is like glass mask, only it's about kabuki, and more shounen as opposed to shoujo, with crossdressing as well as some elements of yaoi.

Fucking awesome.

 

[upandaway]

which one?

first love suicide pact?

haven't seen to many of those

Haven't seen it in a manga but it's not that unusual in other things

The actual meeting on the rooftop in the last second is something I've only seen in one other place before though, it's pretty funny.

 

[Akito]

He is the ever typical artist guy, it's almost a parody. With tendency to be lonely and depressed, with a strong need to express his art but suffering because he never will be good enough, adoring his art subjects but conflicted because he can't catch the super magical divine essence of them in paper, etc. So yeah, he is kind of a idiot.
About the cute girl, for him she is a kind of a sunflower, he is also obsessed with them, but in the end they are just art subjects.

Yeah, I guess it's up to Akira whether she has a problem with that. The same for his friend.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

14-sai no Koi 21

I went to bed last night saying I'd leave the last few chapters for today. I lasted 5 minutes before I grabbed the iPad and read the rest before going to sleep.

His friend loves him and is happy he goes out with his girlfriend in his place.

Spoiler

Akira on the other hand doesn't look all that happy though.1 2.

Hayate 443
Accepting a competition right before chapter 443. You're pushing your luck Hayate. This chapter was just really silly.

 

[kasane]

I completely disregarded hayates existence

i remember laughing out on every chpater, guess i just grew out of it.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Kunisaki izumo no jijou 26

Ya know, something's been bothering me about this manga for awhile.

While I accept all the ad libbing and improvisation in glass mask because it's fairly common in theatre and it's done incredibly well, isn't ad libbing and improvisation pretty much not done in kabuki?

Also the way they do the ad lib is as a way to help the other actors go through character developement or whatever, but it's pretty poorly integrated into the play itself.

Wish this has more kabuki honestly.

Also dude looks too much like hayate, which I always maintain has a terrible hairstyle for a girly dude.

Seishun Pop! 44

Yeah, he's doing a pretty good job of supporting his sister if you know what I mean. If this is Ayano's last word on the subject then I'll eat an overpriced bass guitar.

14-sai no Koi 1.5-3.6

Originally it was seat change despair, and then suddenly it became all sorts of adorableness.

Rich pompadour guy still the best character.

[kasane]

[Jintor]

We thought it was relationship revealing blackmail hell, but then sensei decided to tease the mean kid

[Dedication Through Light]

Omairi desu yo 7a

The trip was the best thing for the series first chapter in this new year, but then the ending page. such a tease and cliffhanger for a series that still only updates litrally every two months.

Yocchan and Kenji needed to come on the trip too, but of course my Kenji has to be the one that doesnt go on trips for broke losers :

 

[dakkumauji]

Thought it was seat change hell, it was adorable paradise?

What Do The Teenage Boys Do 6

Well if noodles could truly be delivered that way. I chuckled.

 

[scy]

14-sai no Koi seems like a weird series to be applying that too.

...

Actually, can we find a way to add an adorable yandere?

 

[kasane]

yanderes are always welcome

Jesus, talk about a rushed ending. About what I expected though.
