Caught up with haikyuu!! Not sure what I can read now...

Hinamatsuri
Arms Peddler
Pumpkin Scissors

 

[brotkasten]

Yes, read this now.

I don't even know how someone can not read it. Easy to say for someone who never heard of it until Friday, but holy crap, it's as much as a "must read" as Berserk or 7 Seeds.

 

[Lirlond]

Holy shit this is intense.

What are you reading?

ONE is a comic genius.

Apocalypse no toride 1

Huh.

While I'm generally sick of zombie stuff, it looks like the concept of a bunch a generally crazy inmates trapped together with zombies seems pretty interesting.

Since when is Berserk a must-read?

It's only if you like good things and don't hate yourself.

Get your ass on Vinland Saga, NOW!

 

["God's Beard!"]

That reminds me of the guy in the FGC thread that said DBZ sucked and he'd rather read One Piece or Naruto.

Dude.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Since when is Berserk a must-read?

Since always. I just wish it would come out at regular intervals again instead of one chapter every six months.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Since always. I just wish it would come out at regular intervals again instead of one chapter every six months.

If something is coming out that infrequently, people should be rather telling people to wait awhile to read it, instead of getting caught up and then being left with nothing for months.

It's easier to suffer with others.

But I'm busy reading shitty harem!

Reading Berserk with the rate chapters are being released pretty much means you hate yourself.

Must-read manga that every fan has the RESPONSABILITY to read:

Manga that's good but you can easily ignore if it doesn't interest you:

Learn the difference, it could save your life.

 

[Lirlond]

What are you reading?

The ship salvaging manga. When his friend apologises to him. On the wreck under the bridge just now. Its hooked me.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

Since when is Berserk a must-read?

Not a fan of the recent chapters, but the first few volumes are classic.

 

[Stinky]

I read Witches and I didnt think much of it.

 

[Kurita]

Must-read sports shounens :
Eyeshield 21
Eyeshield 21
Eyeshield 21
Slam Dunk
And Eyeshield 21

Ehh Witches has really great art, but the writing isn't at the same level. Too reliant on trite New Age philosophizing.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Hell yeah.

That's pretty much the arc to read to see if you'll love this manga or not.

It gets a lot more intense from there though.

Apocalypse no toride 8

Wut.

So far, it's a bit too cliched and actiony for my liking, but it's an okay read.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Must-read sports shounens :
Eyeshield 21

I dont think Slam Dunk is a must read. So many bland moments in just the first 100 chapters. Maybe if you switch it with Kurukos Basketball

Spoiler

or Haikyuu!!

 

[brotkasten]

That's how I see it. You might stop after the eclipse, but everything before that is really, really good, imo.

Not enough Haikyuu!! chapters to put it in the list yet.
And you know what I think of Kuroko's :lol

Yeah, Recent chapter had way too much Griffith-not-dying for my taste.

Apocalypse no toride 10

Well, to the manga's credit at least their version of the zombie apocalypse is really fucking weird.

 

[brotkasten]

More like too many shitty "Guts with Friends" moments. That damn Loli Witch ruined everything.

 

[7Th]

Let's ask MangaGAF's only sensible poster about it:

Berserk - 8
Witches - 10

Just what I thought.

 

[curlyfriski]

Schierke is great, in part because all the people who bitch about moe ruining anime/manga have to deal with her presence in one of the most hyper-violent grim dark series around.

Let's ask MangaGAF's only sensible poster about it:



Just what I thought.

He gave Kono S o Mi Yo the same score as I Am a Hero and a better score than Boys on the Run, can't be trusted.

 

[Kurita]

Let's ask MangaGAF's only sensible poster about it:

Just what I thought.

Nodame Cantabile - 8
*nods*
Another must-read imo

 

[brotkasten]

Schierke is great, in part because all the people who bitch about moe ruining anime/manga have to deal with her presence in one of the most hyper-violent grim dark series around.

That's exactly the problem. Ever since she showed up, there's nothing "hyper-violent grim dark" about it anymore. It's all about "Oh no, it looks like he's losing control! Here, I'm going to help him with the power of Loli! Together we can make it, yaaay!".

 

[Stat Flow]

You guys (minus Brotkasten) are just as bad as WednesdaySuperiorGaf, you just hide behind your bravado of "guud manga".

I ain't hearing that shit.

 

[BassForever]

This man gets it, Berserk before the 2nd Eclipse is just fantastic/incredible must read manga. Since the Gut's party started it's still been really good but it feels less like Berserk and more like Shonen JRPG the manga. Chapters that focus on Griffith and what he's doing or just let Guts kill stuff whenever they do show up are the reasons you keep reading.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Apocalypse no toride 13

Overall decent, kinda interested to see what's up with the alpha zombie. The main group is way too good at surviving to actually create any tension though.

 

[dakkumauji]

Silva 16

A visit into the secret base.

Waratte! Sotomura-san 28

Younger brother-kun is quite popular.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

Too many waifus and lolis/shotas

 

[survivor]

Just what I thought.

Basically every manga flawfuls gave a 10 is a must read and that even includes the literary masterpiece, Fourteen.

 

[curlyfriski]

At least she's useful compared to his other companions. I've never been that much of a fan of the gritty violent seinen and think they generally get overpraised because people mistake cynicism and pessimism for some sort of truthful comment on human nature, although Berserk does do that style very well. What I like about early Berserk is the same as what I like about the later chapters--the way it uses fairy tales and folklore, whether it's the elves who carry away the children or the witch's cottage in the middle of the forest.

Fourteen IS a must-read.

No

Dien Bien Phu 1

Huh.

The art in this manga is deceptive as hell.

But a story about a somewhat fictionalised vietnam war? Why not.

 

[7Th]

No

 

[FlutterPuffs]

big ass image

I still giggle when I think about that chapter with marijuana.

 

[wonzo]

No

yes it is

 

[Antiwhippy]

Dien Bien Phu 2

Let me amend my previous statement: This manga seems to be a tale about the vietnam war if there was a magical girl working for the vietcong.

Interesting though. Will keep up.

 

[7Th]

I still giggle when I think about that chapter with marijuana.

 

[wonzo]

the two greatest (almost) consecutive pages of anything ever produced in living human history
