Just because he ruined the innocent Going Merry for all of us, it doesn't mean he can't have good taste in manga!
No, seriously, 7 Seeds is pretty good. One of the best I've read so far, but I try not to mention it too often, because I haven't read/completed many manga so far. But yeah, you should totally read it.
Another random manga in my list and i don't know how it got on it.
Shinobi no Kuni 1
This is really interesting. "Super interesting" as some might say, though not in the same way most of you think. I like the time period and a story like this, combined with supernatural elements, this really intrigued me.
It's a bit of a shame about Jirobe. He seemed like a really cool guy, even if he's a bit air headed. But damn, Mumon was absolutely brutal. Ended him in one move. I already like this guy. A bit funny, lazy and yet absolutely deadly (or so it seems, he definitely got skill; how's that trope called again?). Heibe is a bit weird. I can't say I like him and this thing he has going, only fighting when he got his mask on and otherwise being a pacifist. I'd say it did cost him his brother's life. But the way the battle ended was just cruel, though I suppose that's how it was done back then (I'm not an expert).
The art is relatively rough and unpolished, I really didn't like the first pages, but as the battle continued, I noticed how "fluid" it seemed and how the movements translated really well, even if a bit too stylized. I really like it. It's not pretty, sometimes even a bit boring, but I like following the panels and movements. Perhaps it would work a bit better as an anime.
Shingeki no Kyojin
Nice to see a non-intense chapter for a while. I also hope for more revelations next month. Also: epic ration eating time.
Cat Street vol 1
Japanese cover sucks, so I went with this superior one. The French versions look more cheerful.
Shoujo series about a school for students who can't fit into society. The main characters are four social outcasts: Keito, who flopped as a child actor and locked herself away from friends, Kouichi, the programmer who doesn't like to go outside?, Momiji, a fashion designer with terrible clothes, and Rei, the famous soccer player. As far as first volumes go, this was pretty good. There is a certain level of drama that allows for interesting conflicts, but doesn't go overboard to silly events. The main character's life, Keito, got ruined by being a child actor and made her a recluse which makes up for a fun storyline to see her try to integrate back into society and open up to others around her especially after getting betrayed at a young age. The other characters problems never really got expanded on, but they were handled with care so they never felt over the top. The pacing was quite good as the story never got bogged down by too many dialogue panels that go nowhere. While some of the common tropes are around, I think the first volume managed to avoid being yet another high school romance shoujo by offering a unique settings and characters, and having some clever writing with brisk pacing.
I found this very amusing. Not that often I see manga that shows bunch of code and this is supposedly done by the computer genius, Kouichi. At least Youko Kamio copy pasted bunch of code instead of writing gibberish, even though this is just trivial task to write to a file.
First volume is pretty good, you should definitely check it out.
C blows.
Don't you just need it to install games? For playing you can just use the applocale thing.I need Japanese Locale to play some of my *ahem* games but it makes cmd.exe look so ugly
