If Kurita was split in two, and they both shared the same account, I'd never be able to distinguish them. That's scary as hell.

 

[Angry Grimace]

it's shojo hell mostly

I don't get that either. Every shojo I've attempted to read (based on MangaGAF recommendations) has been bad, formulaic crap.

 

[Haly]

Is Kurita Wolverine????

 

[wonzo]

Thought it was a shoujo hell, it was live aciton paradise

I'm not sure I'm following you

Some of us have shitty taste and like the formulaic stuff.

And, honestly, "formulaic crap" applies rather broadly to basically everything in this thread.

WHICH ONE IS IT

IS IT THE GRIMACE ONE OR THE AKITO ONE I DON'T KNOW

1st time posting

Yandere Kanojo1-56
About a normal student who fall in love with a Yankee girl (Yankee dere). A 4 koma comedy with bit of drama mix in. One of the chapter about F2P and 'open zipper' crack me up.

To be fair, 99% of it is shit. Which ones have you read?

Yandere Kanojo is awesome. The zipper chapter is one of my favorites too, along with the ones about her dad.

Also quick, name your favorite manga!

Not necessarily. Tropes are not bad; anything with Perfect Shojo Male™ is bad.

Baby, Kokoro no Mama ni!

Peeked ahead at the raw scans—I like this. Imma make a rotation of Kokoro avatars later

 

[scy]

Seems more like a case of disliking the tropes they use as opposed to disliking them due to using tropes in general. That's all.

Edit: Which, on re-reading, is probably what you meant anyway.

Ootagawa Junjou Lovers 1-4 - Guess their story is just these 4 chapters. If you switch the roles around, the lead would be a rather creepy guy hounding the girl this hard. Still, wraps up nicely enough.

UQ Holder 27-28

This arc got off to a pretty boring start, but it turned out alright. Judging from Negima, Ken Akamatsu takes a while to get to the more interesting arcs, so I'm sure in a little while UQ Holder should get pretty good. Well the sad part of this logic is that it'll end abruptly without explaining shit.

If you want something that sets up a Perfect Shojo Male™ lead only to tear him down with the female lead, try the Last Game? Or at least the first 3 chapters.

Assassination Classroom 82

Lmao, great chapter. Koro-sensei the corrupt cop, works perfectly.

I think this is going to be like Akame ga kill where I'm rooting for the bad guys. These immortals are boring.

 

[Angry Grimace]

UQ Holder

So bad. Everyone in the UQH group is unlikable, lazy-design noodlemen other than Evangeline, and there's way too goddamn many of them.

"UQ Holder No. 1,275, Beard Guy With Cigarette!"
"UQ Holder No. 144, Guy Who Looks Just Like Negi With a Chin Beard."
"UQ Holder No. 330, Guy Who Looks Like Fate But Taller."
"UQ HOlder No. 89, Guy Who Looks Like Touta But Taller and Has a Sword-Cane and Glasses."

Its like he only knows how to draw like 4 different people and changes their height and accessories.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

I hate it when I find a new manga that seems interesting, only to have the art completely kill any interest I had in it.

In this case, Toukyou Genji Monogatari.

Immediately had to close out the tab.

I don't need that much horror.

 

[SenorArdilla]

I think this is going to be like Akame ga kill where I'm rooting for the bad guys. These immortals are boring.

How can you take sides though? Just laugh at both of them equally. I stopped taking Akame ga Kill seriously when the author decided to throw in a pedophile clown.

 

[Haly]

Definitely not, I can recognize most of them on sight from their faces alone. Characters don't have to have completely different body structures to be distinct from one another. Now take Ken Akamatsu (Love Hina, Negima) and Tony Taka (Shining Tears) for example. They are two artists who use the same face on all their girls. Noizi Ito (Haruhi) is guilty of the same thing to a lesser extent.

We've gone full circle.

 

[Cwarrior]

now i wonder what the ratings were like if they are doing this

Ratings where actually really good(within the top 10 highest anime ratings) it probably got cancelled for the same reason DBZ kai got cancelled in the first place despite really really great ratings, it wasn't driving merchandise sales like Call of one piece duty.

I started on chapter 11, which basically starts right after the Yukine arc.
Yes, and it's horrible. I've been watching it with my friend who doesn't really read manga all that much. Starjun and Toriko basically became friends during their fight, the four heavenly kings are outperforming Jirou and Setsuno, among other stupid filler shit. They should have just went to the start of the Gourmet World arc and left it so they could continue it later if need be...

No Manga deserves a terrible fate like a anime original ending None! It's equivalent to the studio strangling the life out the property then shiting on it's corps then burn it along with the house it built for it.

Too bad Toriko was held to a ridiculous standards of being the next one piece, truth is there will never be another one piece.

 

[dakkumauji]

I assume our standards aren't as high as yours.

my current fav.

Onani Master Kurosawa (why the author decide to use this name instead of "Catcher in the toilet" is beyond me)
Molester Man
One Punch Man
Silver Spoon
Halcyon Lunch (The most bizarre comedy from the author of the Immortal Blade)
Great Teacher Onizuka
Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer
Hyakko
Bakuman
Dragon Ball

Also every manga by Douman Seiman (This guy manga is insanely entertaining)

 

[upandaway]

That's a pretty good list!

 

[PhillipCostigan]

Yamada 103

Yamada taking a break from the Studen Council so he can deal with Nancy, who seems to be someone from his past. She's also hot. Another for the harem then.

 

[scy]

UQ Holder 28 - Expected more girls. Evangeline taking the time to remind us how she normally looks.

Yamada 103 - don't tempt me with previously met girls. Bring back Archer girl if you're going to do that.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

UQ Holder! 28

How about a no.

You know just like every other time someone asks that question.

And look, its glasses bro.

One day when he becomes important enough, I'll bother remembering his name.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

Yamada 103 - don't tempt me with previously met girls. Bring back Archer girl if you're going to do that.

Seconded.

Oh archer girl... wherefore art thou archer girl?

:'(

 

[AquaWateria]

What's the chance of Yamada and the Seven Witches, getting a anime I mean it got a live action drama.

 

[dakkumauji]

What's the chance of Yamada and the Seven Witches, getting a anime I mean it got a live action drama.

Hard to say. It could easily end up following what Yankee-kun did, which was get a drama adaptation but never got an anime adaptation.

Maybe the mangaka doesn't want anime adaptation of her work or something.

 

[scy]

Because then they'd get an anime-only ending

Spoiler

better than the normal ending

 

[dakkumauji]

For some series, an anime original ending is about the only ending they actually get!

Did you not watch the anime pv? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_n_k5nNA3A

I think she tweeted something about if it gets a million views then maybe...

I am loving reading this on crunchyroll. Great chapter, if only it could come out quicker!

mangaka pls

 

[dakkumauji]

mangaka pls

hey, only 200k more views left to go!

 

[Kurita]

That feel when the best adaptation of a manga will forever be the Moteki j-drama.

 

[Jintor]

anime adaption for yandere kanojo plz

 

[thesaucetastic]

I second that. pls animators more yankees that are dere

Yamada-kun 103
So it's probably someone he knows from high school, right?

 

[Jintor]

i hope the gekkan shoujo adaptation is good. signs point to yes but who knows really

No one said there would be another dbz but there is OP now

Well it looks like it's being done by a studio who's been good at doing comedies ( YuruYuru, Mikakunin de Shinkoukei, GJ-bu, Love Lab) so hopefully the raccoon provides the funny.

 

[thesaucetastic]

will legit cri if it isn't

Koe no Katachi 31
Well, I can understand the mom's intentions, but seriously, what a clumsy way to go about it. At least she's warming up to Ishida, kind of sort of. I'm surprised Shoko hasn't cried yet.

I don't think the problems in the family are Ishida's fault, like he thinks it is. I think they would've always been present as long as Shoko had that vulnerability for kids to exploit.

 

[Charade]

Yamada 103 - don't tempt me with previously met girls. Bring back Archer girl if you're going to do that.

Wow, I thought I was the only one who remembered archer girl. She had one of the best designs in the series.

 

[dakkumauji]

I get things today.

This also reminds me there's some stuff that came out today from YenPress I didn't order yet on Amazon.

 

[Akainu]

How can you take sides though? Just laugh at both of them equally.

You mean Holder? Cause what I've seen of the immortals they suck.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Oh I did pickup a manga, had to push the gundam origin to next month.

 

[scy]

Wow, I thought I was the only one who remembered archer girl. She had one of the best designs in the series.

I bring her up every time I get the opportunity.

 

[dakkumauji]

She will never be forgotten. Besides by the mangaka.
