3 in 1 (or 2 in 1, whatever) often look bad imo. I only bought the black edition of Death Note.
I prefer perfect editions and whatnot with color pages... Expensive but often worth it imo. Love Kenshin's one.

I thought you didnt like color pages and said the [URL="http://25.media.tumblr.com/416ff1592afe0472c7ddc7b44f803477/tumblr_mkyc9wY2431qbxqfpo1_1280.png"]dragonball colour[/URL] pages were awful.

I thought you didnt like color pages and said the dragonball colour pages were awful.

Because the Dragon Ball color editon in the Shonen Jump genuinely looks terrible, yeah.

The color pages in the editions I'm talking about are the "original" ones, i.e. the ones we get in the Japanese Shounen Jump.

 

[Stinky]

I LOVE me some colour pages but those Dragonball ones are really eh.

colour pages that are drawn with copic markers (or somethin similar) are far more organic and eye-pleasing than digitally coloured ones. Of course theyre normally only colour spreads and not regular pages.

See, this one looks pretty good!

I do love color spreads, don't know why you thought the opposite DTL. I mean, look at that :

The DB colours pages are an abomination to the eyes.

 

[Articalys]

Now?


NOW?

...I was in denial for a bit, okay?

Wasn't that the entire plot in TLR original?

I never really read much of the original TLR, except for that short story arc where the main character from Black Cat randomly showed up.

 

[Stinky]

Still not as bad as those awful Naruto (and sometimes Bleach) fan-coloured pages scanlators include in their releases

 

[Lain]

Well darn, I hope then that Viz release a 2 for 1 in the same oversized format as the 3 in 1's. The extra large art and color pages are amazing



Why hate them?

For one they can be a LOT cheaper. $15 for what would otherwise be $30 if you bought the individual volumes. Plus it helps when you can't find all the volumes in print. I had given up on getting the Evangelion manga simply because a few of the middle volumes where out of print so if it wasn't for the 3 in 1 edition I wouldn't be able to add that series to my collection.

I'm not sure how good the quality is for other omnibuses but the Eva ones are top notch.

Monstrously big volumes are a pain to carry around and a pain to hold and read, plus you miss on awesome covers.

It all comes down to wanting a product that's easier on the wallet or a product that's easier to handle for me, as such I hate what I perceive as the American love with the omnibus format

Americans are silly. #TeamEurope

Oh yeah, those are just awful.

Speaking of coloured pages

Good

Bad

It's just the love of easy production values. Companies can't afford to release new ~20 volumes series anymore to compete with shrinking shelf space so they love the omnibus format.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

To be fair, I like that Dragonball color art, but I agree with you that most of it was horrendous.

 

[Kurita]

Don't know why they didn't ask Toriyama to do the color edition.
It's not like he's busy or anything (well, he must be counting his money).

 

[Infinite Justice]

I tried to tell them this, but they're too in love with their not-really-clever stylized fake community name.

Once again, yep

I dont think its a love for the omnibus format, its just whatever is available. Its not like death note, loveless, neon genesis evangelion, bleach, naruto, one piece, air gear, negima, HANA-KIMI , skip beat, fma, kekkaishi, and a few others didnt or dont have single volume releases out there. Though there are some that only release in two volume omnibus (Blood Lad), but some that are just in omnibus since the original publisher is gone (loveless).

Good chapter. Glad the camping arc is over, it was more on the boring side.

 

[Stinky]

How do you cavemen without mangaupdates even keep up with new releases

 

[Kurita]

I have this bookmarked though :

Wait for people here to post when a chapter is out, email subscriptions to groups sites, or following tumblogs. Oh and also knowing when the monthly/bimonthly magazines release.

Noooooooo please maintain an actual list on their site, do it for me

 

[survivor]

How do you cavemen without mangaupdates even keep up with new releases

By not reading more than 5 ongoing manga.

 

[Kurita]

Noooooooo please maintain an actual list on their site, do it for me

Too lazy to do it.
I do add every volume I buy here though : http://www.manga-sanctuary.com/collection.php?id=41143

 

[Fidelis Hodie]

See, this one looks pretty good!

I do love color spreads, don't know why you thought the opposite DTL. I mean, look at that :


Based Murata

God it's beautiful. I need to reread stat.

 

[brotkasten]

How do you cavemen without mangaupdates even keep up with new releases

There's an app for that.

 

[Kurita]

Also, never noticed Suzuna's cute ass...

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Hnnnnnnghh

Yellow haired dude (gun) and one front and center look amazing.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Shingeki no Kyojin 1-39

The plot reminds of the movie versions of "I Am Legend."

Mangaf is my RSS feed.

 

[picklecannon]

Is there no big 3 this week?

EDIT: Read previous page and got the answer. My week feels so empty without my fix.

 

[bigkrev]

Wait for people here to post when a chapter is out

How I keep track of Manga.

Hnnnnnnghh
Look at that water bro

hnnnnnnnngh indeed. If I hadn't read it 6 months ago, id be re-reading it right now. Maybe when Football season starts in September i'll do it

Nisekoi 72

Can teachers even legally do that?

Shu is exactly the kind of asshole friend that Raku deserves

 

[Kurita]

I send a tweet to DTL when a new Haikyuu!! chapter is out (and he does it, too!).

 

[Stinky]

thats so adorable

 

[Save 'N Quit]

TWGOK 226

This is setting him up to meet the other girls, isn't it?

You could always read something good instead.

 

[Haly]

So now we have:
Beam x Big One
Wiseblade x upandaway
Kurita x DTL

 

[Angry Grimace]

I was looking at this post and I realized I have no clue what you like.

 

[dakkumauji]

D'awwwwww

 

[survivor]

Eternal Sabbath vol 3

Kimiko, nooooooo. Izaku has finally crossed the line.

I suppose this manga is a big believer of hypnosis being magic and special. Oh well, it will give good opportunities to see inside Shuro's mind and subconscious.

 

[BassForever]

Man there has to be some conspiracy or something, Swagamoto was out Tuesday (and I even posted about it) and I was ignored, one day later and suddenly it's a Wednesday Chapter

To be fair I looked for like 30 minutes yesterday

 

[bigkrev]

I send a tweet to DTL when a new Haikyuu!! chapter is out (and he does it, too!).

Kawaii~

Some people might say that I don't like anything.

What would you recommend. I started kenshin recently but haven't read it in a while and I am thinking about reading monster.

Monster is great.

[upandaway]

So now we have:
Beam x Big One
Wiseblade x upandaway
Kurita x DTL

Haly your problem is that it's too easy to see your true intentions. You're just hoping DTL takes this and does the ukeseme thing again.

 

[picklecannon]

What have you already read?

GTO, FMA, death note.. There's probably more that I just can't remember at the moment. As for unfinished stuff; the big 3, claymore, HxH.
