The setting is future Japan, in an enclosed town that have about ~5000 inhabitants. Children one day awaken their special power "Cantus" which allows them basically telepathy and other things. But it is rumored that children that can't awaken their Cantus are taken by the Faze Cat. Also, Saki, the MC, dreams of visiting the world outside of the set boundaries of her village.

It is the adaptation of the eponymous sci-fi light novel, and it also had an anime adaptation. All adaptations differ in story at one point from the original material.
The drawings are good and the story sets the tone from the first chapter. Will continue to read and check out the original LN.
There are creatures in the manga that are called "Queer-rats". Sorry I can't take that seriously. /childish

So...

Did kenichi just level up his "aura-of-defense-whatever the fuck it's called" or is this something new entirely? I've forgotten most of the technique's names.

Something hit me on the head and I just had to re-read Orion, from Masamune Shirow. A personal favorite of mine. Full of action, craziness, comedy, scenes running one after another and a mindbending setting with magictech. And full of delicious blabberish like

"Come out with your psyche level down!" has to be one of the best sentences ever.

I should read this and Black Magic at some point.

Most contrived excuse for having yuri in a manga EVER
Click to expand...

Can be called a "contrived excuse" if it's also present in the anime and in the scifi novel, and it isn't only yuri that is presented but also yaoi ?

Of course, it seems that the manga author takes that plot point and abuses it to present hot yuri fanservice.

The Breaker New Waves 164-165

The way it transitions from chapter 164 to 165 feels exceptionally wrong. Maybe they forgot to draw the explosion and the flames. At least 165 ends with some hope for some fighting again, which was about time.

As I said, I judge the manga, and I have no knowledge of the source material. I've yet to see any yaoi in the manga. To me it felt less like a plot point but rather an excuse to have some fanservice.

There's a few extra pages that were added after the first upload but don't seem to be there anymore that bridge the transition.

  52. SoL of a little curious girl done by Yoshiti Abe, in full color. I didn't know it was from this author. It's pretty cute.

  53. A series about humans visited by a mysterious boy. The stories vary in strength although even the lowest aren't all that bad. Favorites are probably Yurika, The Monkey and the Crystal Ball, Socrates, and Sir Richard Wilson and Graham Becker. Overall quite an interesting series. For Fushigi na Shounen. From Revo.
  54. Dude works for a lingerie company and can tell a womans' sizes and what line of underwear they are wearing just by touch. For Amai Seikatsu. From Cerity. (whoosh)

  57. The story of a disgruntled office worker who finds a cute guy living in a box and takes him in as her pet. For Kimi wa Pet Vol 1. From survivor. (imp)
  58. It was interesting in that it isn't the typical romance, at least I have to give it that. For Baka & Gogh. From Turin Turambar. (imp)
  59. A story of living in a wolf eating rabbit world. Yet somehow it becomes quite a cute oneshot. For Strong Chase Weak Animato. From dakkumauji.
  60. It was a pretty decent read. Definitely had an old school feel, which was refreshing to me since I hardly read older manga like this. For Kodomo no Omocha. From thesaucetastic. (rev)
  61. Commendable. For Stretch. From Turin Turambar. (imp)
  62. In a strange tribe, full of customs of ritual dances, there are problems between the mask craftsman... For Flower. From Turin Turambar. (rev)
  63. It's kind of aimless, way weirder: this is 80% drug-fueled shit. For Space Ship EE. From Turin Turambar. (rev)
  64. Pretty much all of the manga is good, from the characters to the setting to the general plot. For 7 Seeds. From Revo. (a rec in disguise)
  65. So the story of two people given bad names and I guess how they either take over the school or become friends. For Tenshi-chan to Akuma-kun 01. From dakkumauji. (imp)

  68. An artbook from famous Inio Asano, it contains two short stories. For Ctrl+T. From Turin Turambar. (imp)
  69. He's probably one of the most manly MC's I've read about in recent memory whose manliness isn't just played off strictly for comedy. For Duction Man. From thesaucetastic. (imp)
  70. It wasn't bad, it has good moments near the middle of the story, but it also... For Cotton. From Turin Turambar. (rev)
  71. They are short stories with a common theme: bus stops. For Bus Hashiru. From Turin Turambar. (rev)
  72. I really liked this. Great characters with meaningful backstories, an engrossing plot, an adorable dash of romance...what more can you ask for? For Kono Oto Tomare!. From Charade. (rev)
  73. It's a seinen with a very particular style, in both drawing and narration. Very delicate, fluffy, sketchy. For Shiroi Kumo. From Turin Turambar. (rev?)
  74. If you ever wanted to know how to become an otaku waifu, this is the bible you've been looking for. For Insufficient Direction. From Akito. (rev)

  78. Japan is being ravaged by a mysterious illness called Sudden Death Syndrome where people suddenly die. For Kigurumi. From dakkumauji. (imp)
  79. Apparently, "the events of this manga are based on the (shy, non-drinking) author's own experiences working as a host!" For Host Man. From SenorArdilla. (imp)
  80. And damn it, I thought it was better than the anime which only means I'm inclined to keep reading. For Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai! Vol 1. From dakkumauji. (imp)
  81. It's a very eclectic collection, from surreal humor, to sex, to pure symbolism and impressionism, to love and drama, fantasy and horror, and the overall level is pretty good, all things considered. For Garden. From Turin Turambar. (rev)
  82. Super nice slice of life in a paradisaic little island, and at full color. Only 130 pages, though. For Ritou no Umi. From Turin Turambar.

Kono Oto Tomare! ch18

Brother is cliché as expected. I did laugh at the four stooges' reactions to the 16th note explanation and Takezou's handling of the club advisor at the end of the chapter was pretty good.

Even being a Shirow fan, I have to say Black Magic is very an "early" work, it even started as doujinshi I believe, and it's kind of rough.
But the rest is great. Dominion, Orion, Appleseed, Gits, etc.

Man, after that piece of shit that is GitS2, I can handle anything.

And how can you not love Baka to Gogh? I'll concede that some of the short stories were even better though.

I liked Gits2! Of course, I'm a hardcore scifi fan and love the exploration of tranhumanist settings with cyberwarfare, Augmented reality, etc, with highly competent characters. The pace reminds me a bit of Orion, like Orion it's a big chase. The final part infiltrating the supercomputer lab with a double body and a complicated plan that could be taken from Kira's Death Note and the final virtual showdown with demigod level hackers attacking and counterattacking each other was thrilling.
And I totally drooled over the art.

Looks nice (except for Goku's small head)... Especially that Vegeta/Terry and Zor/Shenron pieces are really great but it doesn't look practical for use seeing as every piece looks to fantastical

90% of the time the conversation in GitS2 is "technobabble technobabble fuck off donut face twenty pages of no plote-relevant reflections about how to hack minds", it also has some of the most confusing art with all the CG shit AND the worst pacing I've ever found in a comic.

People who complain about Alien sequels never had to suffer going from the first to the second GitS, wish I had just read 1.5 after 1. The original is so good, the second is so painful.
