Yuki: Rape me.
Seiji: No.
Yuki: We are breaking up.
So fucking dumb as hell. I just don't understand what went through Kei Sasuga's head when he wrote this crap. In what world do Yuki's action make any fucking sense.
Fuck manga, I'm just gonna go back and read American comics. At least they are not that stupid... Oh, nvm then. Back to GE I guess.

You don't need to die for our sins.
it picked up as it went, though I might just have gone blind from all the blushing and moe~
I don't hate Outarou, creeper that he is.
He's destined to lose though, since it's clear that Ran is going to give up those magic shoes at some point.
goddamn it wonzo, I dropped this when the yandere stalker girl made him drink all the urine she'd saved up in the fridge

Wut.
Look on the brighter side of it, it will most likely make you stronger. For the sake of Rage Town.

Even seeing other people reading GE is enough to irk me, hahaha.
One of my most regretted "Read it to the end" series. If someone were to sell "GE Memory Wipe Out From Your Brain Device" I'll buy it for a million bucks.
Ah well..............
Anyways, Survivor, what's your Avatar from? The art seems pleasing.

You missed the best waifu.
Damn dude, you're missing out on the delicious brown meido, the moe as hell sister and THE BLUE DRAGON'S GOLDEN TUBE OF ORIGIN!!!
Fuck, reading through the first 50 chapters of Rage Town again gonna be so tedious.
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, it's a great manga.

Oh my, someone once in a previous OT actually recommended this to me, but for some reason I didn't actually get the chance to read it.
The art looks totally wonderful! I won't make the same mistakes again.

It makes me sad that more people didn't know about yokohama kadaishi kikou.
Deserves to be a classic.

I got more out of the first chapter of this manga than I do out of most manga period. Akimi Yoshida is such an incredible mangaka. It's a shame she isn't more popular outside of Japan.
Outarou is seriously so damn gross. Ran likes the attention, because she doesn't have any friends. Also she's like 7 years old or something. lol. Her father freaking out was funny though. I'm rooting for Hibi too!

Ran and the Gray World 1-19
Story is charming, art is great. Sorta creepy how much her hotness is emphasized when she becomes an adult. Outarou chapters are painful to read because you're wondering how far they're going to go with his desire to bang a girl who is mentally a child.

Well, you're half-way but things won't get any better until the abrupt ending.
Taiyou no Ie 1-18
Light hearted and more enjoyable than GE.
Never saw it that way...
I mean I never made the parallel between the 2.
The 9tails is kinda like everything in part 2, a lamer, stupider memory of what was good in part 1.

All I needed was to see one panel of the manga to put it on my list. There's just something about the art ...

Do it, it's fantastic.
Also a complete 180 from berserk so maybe it could be a nice palette cleanser afterwards.
Speaking of which I should probably start that soon.

I hope to finish Berserk this weekend (yeah, right lol) and I'm not sure why I'd need a palette cleanser afterwards. I don't want to read manga to make me feel better and Berserk isn't that bad or depressing. It's Guts cutting through shit. It's almost comical.

Didn't really mean it in that way, more like if you want to read something different that's a good choice.
Just read it, damnit.

Hell yeah hachiken. Good stuff.

Yeah. The Eclipse was pretty funny.
Gutts just fucks everything up. It's well done, but it's nothing that needs to be cleansed from my head.

Hahaha, I wouldn't call the eclipse "funny", but ever since Miura toned the rape down and Guts got his RPG party, it's just not that grim and dark anymore. There's always some kind of hope and feelgood crap going on. It's kinda depressing that it's not depressing anymore.
Funny in the sense that I was like
"holy shit really? i mean, come on man."
then when griffith came through for the nail in the coffin, i was just like "wut"

That's surprising, I thought Taisho was only awarded to new manga. Then again, I think the rules were "under 6 volumes" so I suppose it counts. If it was nominated back in 1st Taisho and it won this year, it must be published dreadfully slow.
Some of the double spreads and backgrounds are so beautiful. Its a pleasure to read the manga.

Huh.
Well, it's good to see them resolving their relationship at the end, though the dying old man bit at the beginning caught me off guard. It,s nice to see Akio realise that he can't continue being so goddamn wishy washy.

That wasn't even their big fight yet. We'll see their climactic fight at the waterfall place at the end so why be redundant showing multiple fights? Plus, we already got a taste of their clash at the start of the flashback.

They really like terra formars, has it won any award yet?
Nothing yet. It will probably get nominated for Kodansha or Shogakukan manga awards for 2013
I think so, the 5th volume was released earlier this year so it should counts, the criteria is less than 8 volumes I think, it will have some more chances
;___;
Do you already reach vol 34 yet? Its the best moment in manga so far for me, and the mood is ALL BRIGHT.. I wonder what Miura going to do with that later... argh 2023 still a long wait.
lol, this Natsume magazine cover is pretty funny.
I think there was one moment in that chapter where they were all drunk that made me really hate Akio, but he is not a total asshole so the hate was temporary.
Is 1 volume a year really that slow?
Just watch them end up not nominating the manga just like they did in 2012.

I guess it depends on publication frequency. The weeklies pack about 10 chapters per volume, so they can expect to release about 5 volumes a year. Monthlies pack about 4 chapters a volume, so about 3 volumes a year.
Even HxH averages 2 volumes a year since 2008, so yeah, when Taisho's in its 6th iteration and you're still eligible for nomination, it might be a bit slow. Umimachi seems to have a lot more pages to its chapters though, so maybe the mangaka just keeps a healthier pace.
