Wait, grandma?
wasn't there a grandma that was even more sadistic that red riding hood?

edit: oh wait, I got my fairy tale based mangas confused, nevermind. The one I was thinking of was a oneshot with the wolves being human or something dumb like that

eidt again:
I've been caught up with Koe for a while.
I read your post wrong and thought you were starting all three now, my bad.

Maybe Ishould sleep, I'm not really making sense anyway

The girl dies?

Well,
the girl that he's remembering doesn't really exist: She's basically a construct of his memories that he's nurtured over the years. It was just some passing memory to her but he dresses it up and creates something larger from it
.

Nah, he romanticizes the shit out of the idea of her and what she could have been, instead of loving her for her actual self.

Basically.

The exact opposite of Kimi wa Midara?

Eh. Sounds sort of interesting. I was expecting something super super cliche.
 
However true that may be, she was the one to get disturbed by/jealous of the girl that forced a kiss on him. I'm chalking it up to her being confused about her feelings unless I can get a better scan somewhere

Probably but this one series where I'm completely ok if the couple doesn't end up together, cause she deserves better

I'm the type of person where an OTP has to exist in every single thing. Except I'm totally fine if Pandora Hearts doesn't have an OTP.

Expect there's a perfectly fine other guy for the girl to hook up with.

The main guy is just crap and doesn't deserves happiness.

Even the leftovers deserve love too.

World Gaze Clips 8-9 - So ... there's supposed to be two more chapters but I have no idea if those are related to this one. I kind of hope so since I think there should be more to their story. Anyway, a pair of friends go off to bury a corpse.

World Embryo was sort of cool then it fucking jumped the shark. Idk.... whatevs. The only ongoing manga with action that I still hold in high regard is Pandora Hearts. Everything else I've read is sort of shit.

At least it looks like World Embryo is probably ending soon based off what's going on.

Can't imagine them extending it any further, thankfully.

Wait, I just realized what manga we're talking about here for Sakurasaku Shoukougun. Ehh, both the leads are pretty awful. If anything, they suit each other in that regard.

I don't think I can stand male leads that are extremely assholes. It's fine they have aspects that make them unlikeable but if they're just rude fuckers then I just want to punch them rofl.

Meh, I dunno. She's just been a pretty childish character so far. Especially during the last few chapters with her whole running away from home and throwing away basically everything the MC has done up to that point.

I mean, the MC is pretty spineless but he's certainly a lot better than she is imo.

Ya know, I just have this mental image that Genshiken is pretty much what would it be like if members of mangaGAF gather together in one room. The atmosphere, the conversation, etc etc.

Well, except for outliers like Big One, but really, it seems a pretty apt mental image, hahaha.
 
More people should read better webtoons.

City of Dead Sorcerer for one.

A method to make the world better

The title and story do not match.

New model falls in love with popular model, blah, blah.

Very shoujo, but I did like the girl's spunk. At least it was better than the earlier shoujo I read.

Yasashii Sekai no Tsukurikata 15


Really nice chapter. We get both development between the history teacher and the dating-savvy high school girl, and the older female teacher Yurine reflecting on why she shouldn't get into a relationship with Yuu no matter how much she'd want it.

Oh yeah, from yesterday, since I'm too dumb to go back and read bookmarked links. Looks like French publisher Ki-oon is teaming up with Tetsuya Tsutsui again.

Same as their previous collaboration (manga Prohephecy that will be published in English by Vertical), it's getting serialized in Jump Kai (Jump x), it starts in April and the official title is Poison City.

From what I can tell it tackles the topic of freedom of expression. Amidst a tense atmosphere as Tokyo prepares to host the 2020 Olympics, a young author's manga is not spared from the growing censorship and gets pulled from the shelves... (my French buddy isn't around so please pardon my google translate).


And since I'm dredging up old news, this one from the more explicit side of things, seems like Takemura Sessyu is drawing something again. Dear god he's lazy. His Domin8 Me (aka Take on Me) tankoubon got published in English, but things got too weird for the publisher (which is now half dead) in the 2nd one. Now he mostly does Idolmaster doujinshis, although there's a 2-chapter "story" not yet published in a tankoubon.

By too weird I guess you mean the older sister which looks like a loli getting railed in all holes and positions, making the publisher too scared to land in jail by publishing it?
