Lasboss x Hero 7

I'm fine with Nina being made into the sacrificial Tsundere character, but don't ever Lily change.

May lose some of your supporting fans, but she will at least have an alternative with her yandere sister.
 
Illegal Rare 1

Well if this is Stealth Symphony's competition then its clear that Steal Symphony is the better story and art series, its chp 1 was far more enthralling and entertaining.

Only thing Illegal Rare has is a good vampire so Ill stick around for him. Though I don't think it really ranks that well among all my other vampire series, he needs to crave blood more to be like Ayato. If he had that darkish personality then he'd really be wonderful.

Didn't really care much for the character motivations or world setup, feels too vain, getting revenge is his entire character or something so its really :(.

Yeah, can't see this sticking around. Art style's okay, but the writing is urgh. Reminds me of a way crappier version of Black Cat.

Trying to chase that pretty boy vampire money after being disheartened by nura being cancelled I guess :(((((((

oh well, potential for (more) monster girls so i'm in.
 
Illegal Rare - Chapter 1

It's kinda, meh. I'm not into the whole gothic look, and I'm definitely turned off by the vampire main character. The whole vampire concept has been so overdone, that I just stopped caring about them.

The story in general, it sounds like the usual. He's protecting magical creatures to put it short. The only good thing I can say about it, is that the art looks good.

I'll keep reading, but I'm not all that interested.

I'm convinced that Nagasarete Airantou will just go on forever. It's some kind of punishment game for the readers.
I liked the anime for what it was, didn't overstay its welcome thankfully.
Actually I liked Porno Graffiti's OP better than Laruku.
Ooof
Speaking of which is the anime or the drama (I heard there are multiple versions of it even) worth watching for someone who likes but not necessary loves GTO like me?
Watch GTO 1998. Soramachi Takashi + Nanako Matsushima = good (they are married irl) I would say the GTO Movie isn't definitely not required. Plus POISON (instrumental) is godlike.

GTO 2012 can be skipped, I didn't particularly care for it but it's ok
3D Kanojo - Caught up to this. Pairing is good still, hope it doesn't actually do a triangle with the otaku girl.

This GIF is like the perfect representation of the thread.

Ohhhhhhhhh thanks for the reminder. Needed my quick shoujo fix.
 
Magi 215

So hype. All those Djinn-Vessel similarities were pretty amusing (that Zagan). They're totally going to repeat that mistake though lol.

Silver Spoon 97

lmao

Also is the crunchyroll manga thing just not showing up correctly? It doesn't say that anything is updating today.

Meh. It's not awful but it's not that good either. The art is nice, though I don't think it's as good as Mago's art. It's the characters that let this down, they're all kinda dull. I'll keep reading for now but I might drop it if it doesn't pick up a bit.
 
Centaur's Worries 48

Never gonna get used to how this manga's chapters frequently feel like they've been cut off midway through. Sometimes the anticipation of the sudden ending is more exciting than the chapter content itself.

Doujin Work. Tsuyuri's god tier
ding ding ding. Best character the author's ever spawned.

This was unexpectedly good. There's a lot of stuff unanswered, like why she hates him (I guess family drama, because she's his half-sister or something?) or why he has the power to be possessed. It's pretty grim knowing that you're the only one left alive, and I wonder what he'll do next.

I agree. It kinda lost me at the end though. It seems to be a weird combination between sci-fi and supernatural stuff.
 
its sad that there are no shops that sell manga close to me, i have to order everything

Well I mean I don't really have any shops near me anyway.

Hell, the most reliable place I can think of is going to Kinokuniya and I already spend too much there whenever I go there to buy English manga volumes.

Yeah it's pretty weird, not sure I like it or if it'll just be one of those things I overlook in light of everything else. And you'd think they'd know about people living on the moon seeing as we've been there plenty of times.

Sarishinohara 1-3
All of these manga based on vocaloid songs have really disjointed and awkwardly told plots. It's kind of annoying.
 

Angry Grimace

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I finished reading 20th Century Boys. So I started reading 21st Century Boys.

wat

I don't know why they're even listed as different series. They're the same freakin' thing, and 21st doesn't fix the problems with 20th.

One I enjoyed so far is Shuuen no Shiori.

Of course there's also the ever popular Kagerou Days too.
Haven't read either of those, I'll give 'em a shot.

Boku no Kotori-san
A cute oneshot about an ex-yankee and her neighbor sharing oden. He should prob take his cat to the vet though.

It makes things worse if I'm remembering the story right.

I barely remember the story because it was just so convoluted. The only thing I really remember was that fucking rock concert of hope at the end. Why the fuck was that even a thing.
