Part 1 is mandatory (even though it's not the best one), you're crazy. That's where it all begins.
The act of being long doesn't make something inherently worse. What drags Ippo down us that Morikawa let the main cast stagnate for years. Being long means that a manga is more likely to outstay its welcome, but it's entirely possible for one not to.
I can't name one, I'm sure there are some but they don't readily come to mind. Overly long stuff happens because of pacing issues, it's a symptom.
See: GRRM
Isn't Kochikame rigidly episodic?
Well here is a list of all the long running manga. I really don't see any manga in the top 100 that don't suffer from bad pacing or just long cause they are being milked for money.
It's totally possible to have a story that takes a long time to tell and remains reasonably entertaining throughout. There's no rule that EVERY story MUST end within [insert timeframe here] or it immediately becomes "dragged out".
Based araki know his shit, laughing to the rest. Surprised anyone else not come with their formula.

Adventure of Sinbad 4
Wow Sinbad dad is truly a badass. Damn at his wounds.

Yeah this is a huge point.
It doesn't happen very often. An author who can maintain a single cohesive story (or consecutive closely linked stories) would be a fearsome author indeed. I fully grant that it's possible but it's rare because it's hard, and it's not unreasonable to assume that if a series is long, it's not because the author wants it to be, but because of commercial/editorial reasons.
You're right, just because something is "long" doesn't mean it's bad. Bad stories are bad. But the overwhelming majority of stories with poor pacing are long, and even shorter stories sometimes have pacing issues as well. So it's expected that people raise their eyebrows whenever they see the chapter counter tick over 1000.
He does a soft reset of the universe for every story (and a hard reset ever since SBR).
It's no more a "single story" than Discworld is.
Yeah I know, people have different tastes, that's crazy.
Of course, I just wasn't sure.
I really don't understand how anyone could prefer E21 over Slam Dunk. May I ask why?
I prefer football over basketball.
I prefer Eyeshield 21's art over Slam Dunk's.
I prefer Eyeshield 21's characters over Slam Dunk's.
That's all.
REAL isn't really comparable to them.
It's a fantastic series though, amazing characters and some really emotional stuff.
first 5 volumes of REAL destroy first 5 volumes of Slam Dunk. They don't even compare.

Slam Dunk is kind of low on the quality department, Real is even worst, I would suggest one approach it with great caution.
You guys didnt even mention it when you were having a tiff about best sports manga! Is wheelchair basketball not a sport or somethin'???
I guess it will always live in its brother's shadow.
I read the first volume a while back and it was pretty good, I'm going to read it again when I have the time to read through the rest at a regular pace.

smh
It's not entirely focused on wheelchair basketball, that's why.
And yeah, it's not a shounen.
Yeah, I point that out looking that list why no one else thinking some method for their long manga, other than manga with gag element.
I think the discussion was limited to shounen sports. If not, then REAL and Ping Pong are the best sports manga.

wouldn't call REAL a sports manga. it heavily features sports but I feel like calling it a sports manga discredits it a bit.
I agree. I see it as a slice of life manga featuring basketball.
And it is full of feels. God... so many feels.
I used to always think of the Boku to Issho guy's (Minoru Furuya's) Ping-Pong Club when you brought that up.
Imma read this also
cool.
Its even less featuring sport than Adachi's manga.
If it count.. Kokou no Hito should count too, and both screw the rest.
So I'm the complete opposite on everything you just said. The cast of characters is just amazing, better than E21 imo. I also prefer Inoue's art.
best artist in the industry
Best sports manga there is, and one of the best manga I've ever read.

eyeshield's art is probably a lil better than Slam Dunk's but Inoue's improved so much since then.
Then again I'm not a big fan of Murata's art in the first place.
REAL kinda kills every other manga in the art department though.

Slam Dunk's art look better than ES IMO
Inoue became godlike after he refining his skill.
ES look rough too at begining
Slam Dunk and E21's art are in no way comparable.
Murata's art is much much more stylized, in every way. It's flashy, exciting shonen-ish. Not in bad way, it's just very obvious.
Inoue's art is much more realistic. It's not flashy at all, more slow and deliberate.
It's different in paneling as well, not to mention the sports depicted are very different and require different depictions.

I hope that made sense, I suck at this

No. I don't want to read any sports manga. That's why I canceled the sub.
I'll make exceptions for interesting subjects like Karate or boxing, but otherwise no.

Nah, Kurita with a good and consistent avatar is weird.
Sisterism END
It was implied that they ate all the chocolate off each other and some of the chocolate was on some lewd areas, so did they have sex or did they just stop when all the chocolate was gone? I hope the author does end up doing a sequal becuase I want to see them become a couple. This was a fun yuri story, 8/10.
