I found it to have little to no appeal, one of the more boring manga to be serialized.

I LOVE it
nice leasure series with some crazy business stuff later on
this and Space Brothers are perfect to get into
waaaay better then those typical Romance/Comedy stuff that are all over the place and overdone
the also have end goals which is really important for having a plot
Edit: oh the anime is great to... woulnd't mind if Soma was animated by them

speaking of animation studios
someone needs to tell TOIE to add atmospheric lighting and shadows
the main problem with them is that everything is a stagnant colour and stays that way
IT IS ALWAYS SUNNY
EVEN AT NIGHT

Silver spoon is one of the better written mangas serialized today. No, really.

slice of life in agricultural school, likeable cast, pointing out social issues that occur in agricultural industry, educational without being preachy and pretentious.
One of the finest manga i've ever read

Silver Spoon is one of the best manga I've read. The character development alone makes it a million times better than your average manga.
How about you read Koi Dano Ai Dano for comedy, character development, romance instead.
edit: Oh, try Need A Girl. Fanservice and funny
ugh... fanservice? Hanimero?

A Girl by the Sea Vol 1
Thanks god, for a moment I thought this would be a cute and lewd romance story with sex, but Asano brings in his suicidal, nihilistic characters. Sasuga Asano!
edit: I got a crop from the male character not of the girl or the lewd stuff. Go me!

He is kind of a one pony trick sometimes. But a very good pony.
It's okay.
Prison School ch1-113
At first glance one might think Prison School is nothing more than your average fanservice-laden romance comedy. However, this couldn't be any further than the truth, as Prison School is actually a philosophical fanservice-laden romance comedy, and when one takes a closer look, one will realize that the various situations are actually social commentary about this world, and lessons about how to overcome one's weaknesses.
Because Prison School tells us not the story of a small group of frustrated virgins, but the records of a band of brothers facing untold hardships for the sake of their own betterment, and finally reaching the climax of their lives, even if it costs them everything. A true tale of unlimited courage and determination against impossible odds.
That is not to say they are flawless beings, on the contrary, as they each have their own flaws and moments of weakness, but witnessing them overcoming their shortcomings and growing stronger is one of the central themes of this masterpiece.
To conclude, Prison School is nothing less than a social commentary about the wonders of one's own desires and the challenges one has to overcome to fulfill them. Truly a perfect allegory of the realities of one's life.

The author is just too good, he's making even a smut manga like this something really epic.
And some chapters really kill me flat, like the Andrenomics one.
This arc about andre and the girl that want to be a queen is amazing too. Andre GO.

Volume 2
Oh you bastard...
So the previous picture was premonitory. I only got it because the outburst of depression was sudden and interesting, but from the two it's the boy the one really with problems.
The whole issue of his brother's suicide and how he never cope with it, having now suicidal tendencies. In the other hand, the girl has problems but the typical of a teenager.
In the end, time passes and both of them follows their own path, it was a youth's story without a future, something to remember but nothing else. So I'm not really surprised they don't get together as a bittersweet end fit in the tone or even a dramatic one, but the way the author does is is pure evil, a twisted knife in the ribs.
First it makes you worried about if he will kill himself... then you see her real feeling on the letter, she understand he may commit suicide, she searches for him, tension and drama! and he almost does it after beating the crap of the other guys, but he isn't brave enough. And then, she believes he is dead, throws the letter and at the same time he meets by chance the fucking girl by the sea and forgets the other one. Ouuch.
Thas was kind of NTR

The problem, in the end, it's in the execution of the twist, it feels cheap. Like, what are the odds.
if I think about it, iy don't even feel as she left a girl for another character, because she doesn't have not even a line of text makes her feel not as a character, but a plot device, one very sudden.

Yep I read it two or three days ago and it was good. I think it can be of my favorites 4 komas.
Nah, just read that one.
Prison School 113
Risa attempts to please Andre continue to be cute and heartwarming, though now she dragged Gakuto into it. poor Gakuto just can't catch a break, he even hurt Jo this time around.
In the meantime Hana new findings are going to lead to what is going to certainly be good fun times. This series is usually the most entertaining when Hana is going crazy.

1) One of the few well written and consistent weekly Shonen series left
2) From the creator of Full Metal Alchemist
3) Something different from the endless battle and harem mangas
4) DTL says it's horrible, which may as well be a 5 star rating
Okay um, look. If you say something like this you have to be prepared to supply your own readlist and face the consequences if anyone here finds a single thing missing from there.
I often see pages of the series on the top of the popular rankings on Pixiv.net
So it's just a matter of when the recent ones get translated.
A new set has been completed yesterday actually. I'm just waiting for it to be translated.

Stop bullying him panda, jeez.

Children of the Sea vol 1-2
This is about the last manga from my long flawfuls backlog that I have yet to read and man was it so good. I really forgot how amazing Igarashi's art can get at times, his underwater scenes are pretty damn amazing in creating sense of horror and showing how vast the ocean is. Wish there was a way to grab wallpapers of all his double pages spreads. There have been a lot of ideas explored so far about the world's origins, the dead and human's relations to all of it. It's trying to set up a great mystery, but at the same time the narrative doesn't only rely on that as it explores how the main characters Ruka and Umi learn about each other and what's happening with the children that came form the sea.

Parasite end
All in all I thought it was sort of mediocre.
It started out pretty good with the mass killings and some of the relationships between the parasites were intriguing, but none of the elements lived up to their potential. I liked Shinji's transformation and development, but I sort of felt it was ruined by the ending. The ending in general felt a bit rushed ("Migi died on his way back to his home planet") and I was hoping for an interesting outcome, but it was relatively tame. A bit too happy for me.
It was okay. I would not read it again and I'd only recommending it as a filler manga.

I might give it a shot, since Black Bullet is ending and I am looking for something fill that void.

Octave vol 1
Friend told me to check this out. Seems like your typical yuri story, lots of angst, sex, crying, and mixed in with some idol culture. It doesn't feel dumb yet so that's something very positive going on for it right now and the art is serviceable enough to not be distracting. It's an alright read.

I don't remember why but this chapter starts with shoujo lead on top of love interest, so pretty normal. Blah blah, work up confidence to ask love interest out.

Man it gets so angsty.
I remember not being too fond of the MC when I read this and I don't think I ever finished (though I might be confusing it with something else?). Maybe I should give it a second chance, I was less forgiving back then
In some respects, that is...Gets real angsty. I didn't care for it much, but I'm also not a big fan of angst.
