Yeah, it felt really really different which might be a minus to some people.
Probably the most heartfelt story out of Shaman King for me though. Especially how strange the story was going towards getting power ups.
I sort of want to re-read the series again since it's been awhile. But I've put the sequel on hold for so long.

The OVA that covers the flashback arc is good, actually, and it also follows the manga pretty faithfully. It's the other OVA covering the Jinchuriki arc that is very, very rushed.
Not a minus for me, definitely. Matamune is his first soul! *cries*
Oh wait. Is the sequel still going on a regular pace? Or has it ended?

Thanks, but I'm not particularly interested in yaoi. I might try that 4koma and Silver Spoon but I'll queue it after I read scy's suggestions.

No no no no. Ai Dano Koi Dano is the yaoi one. What suggested is Koi Dano Ai Dano; a different series altogether.Thanks, but I'm not particularly interested in yaoi. I might try that 4koma and Silver Spoon but I'll queue it after I read scy's suggestions.
This got me too. Haha.
But its not yaoi ;?Thanks, but I'm not particularly interested in yaoi. I might try that 4koma and Silver Spoon but I'll queue it after I read scy's suggestions.
?
I'm particularly interested in RomComs or Slice Of Life/Romance. I got tired of the constant violence I read and watched during my childhoodMaybe I just like cheesy stories
Well, I more mean in the sense of other themes or so on. For instance, I want to suggest Bungaku Shoujo to people but it's fairly light on the core romance and it's wrapped up in a lot of tragedies. That and, well, Light Novels. I guess Koe no Katachi was a better example. I didn't think this through.
Seishun For-get is a cute and fun romcom that isn't too serious. Uwagaki finished recently and it was a fun ride (plus it had that goat). Countrouble has a fun setup and it's always fun to go from this and then see Trinity Seven with the same art (though different author) if only because Arata is godtier with his harem. Sankarea has zombie moe.
Man, I wish I put more thought into this list now.
misfire the google and you get yaoi
I actually think this happens every time it's been suggested recently lol

I was talking about the whole jinchu arc, but it really did a good job of the flashback? I really can't remember, I may check it out again.

As this was my first time reading this manga - I had only experienced the anime as a kid - I wasn't sure what to expect.
Long legs, like reeeeeeeaaaalllly long legs.

Wait it's already out? Or do you mean 44?
My bad. I clicked on the first thing I searched and it was categorized as yaoi and smut. :| I'm going to check on the other one.
I am working through the list you gave me, read some synopsis and I like what I'm reading so far. So you don't have to feel that way
For themes, I'm not into vampire, zombie, gory stuff, but I think I'm fine with anything else. I'm not that invested in shoujo (last one I liked was Tonari No Kaibutsu-kun in anime format) but if you have something marked with your seal of quality, I'll read it without second guessing. I prefer seinen or shounen though. As for the others, I'll take a look.

Typical girl hates men manga but done in a really charming way.
This girl is dead once her secret is out.
I'll need something to keep track of the mangas I read and when they are released. I can't do it by memory anymore :|

I'm always put off by his baby face. I mean that it literally looks like a baby's face on a man's body. Just creepy.Captain Tsubasa New Edition Vol 1 & 2
As this was my first time reading this manga - I had only experienced the anime as a kid - I wasn't sure what to expect. Bad pacing for the games like in the anime? Ugly art? I was ready for the worst, instead what I got was damn good.
The art isn't bad at all. It's a bit dated when compared to modern styles, but it's still good and the pacing during the games was great, nothing like the anime, which we used to joke about that it'd take 3 episodes just to go from one side to the other.
Plot wise it was really nice (re)seeing Tsubasa's first encounter with Genzo and how that initial challenge becomes a friendship.
Did y'know? Captain Tsubasa was one of the most popular series for doujin manga when yaoi was first on the rise.
Sure did. Believe it still holds the record at a single comiket for the most yaoi doujin ever.

"The novel series takes place in the year 2400, where the world is controlled by the Solar System Alliance. The reason the Alliance was able to take control is because they wield mobile weapons. Those humanoid weapons use Cyclonics electric chips that convert the superpowers and wisdom bequeathed to mankind into interference power. These humanoid weapons which amplify their pilot's psychic powers are called Titanic Dolls, or just Dolls for short. Dolls do not lose to other weapons, and are part of the Solar System Alliance's unit, Sophia, who keep the world under the Alliance's thumb.
However, this will soon change when two Doll Masters Aoi Saotome and Reine Ward Takajo have a fateful meeting at a high school in an aerial city."

I mean I like Mahouka for the world building and that it is kinda grounded with just magic in a future world. Not sure if I'll be interested enough in reading all about mechas.
Umimachi Diary vol.4
This manga is so perfect.
This volume focused on Suzu, the evolution of her relationship with Futa... It was amazing. The chemistry between these two keeps on improving. What I like the most about this manga is that every chapter can almost be read like a one shot, with a unique theme every time. I guess that's the advantage of monthly series, you can fit more things into a single chapter.
Every manga fan in France should buy this.
