Uh, I have no idea where you got the idea that the heroine in lucifer and the biscuit hammer is flawless.

 

[dakkumauji]

The latest batch of manga are not going to last. They're all shit.

Something has to last though, they can't keep cancelling everything new every time.

 

[Reknoc]

Naruto's slot to be replaced by more One Piece, rip Oda.

Thinking on it, One Piece is p.much the only thing I'm reading now aside from these VizBig Vagabond volumes, when I can be bothered to deal with how uncomfortable VizBig stuff is to read.

It's been awhile, but I remember her being kind of fucked up in the head

 

[FlutterPuffs]

I don't mind if they don't actually die, I just like the tension, although it does wear thin when it's done all the time in a series, because then survival obviously becomes expected and so that tension is lost. Case in point, the series that started this whole conversation. Death wasn't cheap in Naruto until after Pein resurrected everyone.

Never read Juuni Kokuki either. I also want to say that I get annoyed by "flawless" characters too, like the heroine from Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer. I don't want characters to be strong without any cost, or flaw or something. Like, it's okay if they're physically strong, but emotionally damaged or something. Again, this kind of thing robs the tension. I've heard Kyoukai is a bit like this in Kingdom, which is sort of disappointing.

wat.

 

[Glass Rebel]

For romance I read Horimiya, Jitsu wa Watashi wa, Yandere Kanojo, Taiyou no Ie, Koe no Katachi, Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun and more.

Since you like bittersweet stuff you should check out Koe no Katachi and Taiyou no Ie.

Otherwise I'm reading stuff like Prison School, Hi Score Girl, Hinamatsuri (strongly recommended), Peephole, Okusan, Monster Musume, AKB49, Nana to Kaoru, Flying Witch,... A bit of everything really.

I started KnK a while ago but stopped for some reason. Need to go back to it one day. I do need to get out of my comfort zone first I need to wade through the stuff I have in my backlog.

She is really fucked up in the head!

wut
Kyoukai is just like any other main character. If anything, she's the only one who have emotional damage among the main cast until an arc dedicated for her to mend that wound. While Kyoukai is physically strong, it can't resolve everything as shown in recent chapters.

 

[LeleSocho]

Toriko has shit art. Next.

Your taste is shit. Next.

 

[TheRealTalker]

^^^^

You tell them LELE




------

Kyoukai also has that Stamina weakness.... she could use that move to counter against it but it would damage and maybe paralyze her legs

 

[FlutterPuffs]

I don't know why the editors think Toriko will be popular.

Whole story was a mess from the beginning, and the art, well, isn't actually the best Jump has to offer.

Give the focus to Shokugeki. Best all around protagonist in a Jump series this generation. He works hard, he's cheerful under any pressure, he's not a fucking pervert or a yelling dumbass, he's quite a good role model for kids to have.

Yeah there's boobs, but fuck it. Soma's fantastic.

 

[Kurita]

Haikyuu!! vol.4

Yamamoto/Tanake moments are always hilarious. Didn't remember all these flashbacks with Kuro and the blonde guy (forgot his name)...

 

[Shengar]

Mostly, the good thing about Kingdom boil down to Hara's manga artistry skill. Sure the earlier chapters looks bad, and the man looks weird as well even in later chapter, but manga artistry is more than that. If someone asked me which manga is the best for them to learn about paneling, I'll direct them to Prison School, Kingdom, and Homunculus.

And the facial expression in Kingdom is also really well done, especially during court chapters (though they somewhat kinda excessive in reactions sometime)

Just let the page speak for itself

Dunno, but they tried so hard, lol

Cross promoting it with Dragonball Z and One Piece, having the anime air after One Piece, basically kept throwing money at it hoping people will like it.

Looking at that cover, I thought that was vol 5 cause of that number placement, lol

Some times Mitsotoshi can draw his characters really well

 

[Kurita]

Yeah, it's pretty dumb...

 

[Antiwhippy]

Like, rereading parts of lucifer and the biscuit hammer now, and samidare is honestly a deeply flawed character. In fact her power stems from how incredibly flawed she is.

It's kind of a wonder that it didn't become the next big thing considering all the promotion done.

How could the computer bled?

Spoiler

I think they right, after all of those effort really

 

[TheRealTalker]

who cares it is STILL AWESOME

 

[BatDan]

My guess?
Shimabukuro is Oda's friend. He also had a popular manga around the time One Piece started. Though his was cancelled because of his arrest [inb4wonzo]

Toriko is kind of similar to One Piece, it has a giant world and people with insane power levels. But Toriko was a bit too different (he never really expanded on a lot of the world... he just showed it and moved on. Like that maze a few chapters ago).

Maybe neutering the anime didn't help. Removing a lot of the violence.

 

[Shengar]

Well, the question that lingers right now is, who will replace Naruto?

Spoiler

The only correct answer is Shokugeki no Soma

 

[generaldane]

I know, fuck just using 4gb sticks of ram, I rather have a bulk of 8gb.



Eh, just seems like if you're reading manga might as well spread out to something outside of the big 3.

Also I can't fathom reading mainly action manga. They just get so samey to me after awhile. I know they're not alike, but I guess I just don't enjoy action that much.

loool I done goofed

and then I ask.... who will replace Naruto that is of the same genre

 

[Reknoc]

Probably because of how forcefully they pushed it. It's he manga equivalent of sprouts.

That's the blood of all you Toriko haters.

Yes, i have this kind of power.

I wonder what kind of sales performance it'd have were ot not for all this promotion though.

 

[TheRealTalker]

Let us stop looking at the past

there is a action manga void for Jump readers... Toriko story is turning heads right now

people will catch up.... people will tell there friends

Gintama is more of a action series then Soma

 

[Shengar]

Gintama's real forte is its comedy, but with the recent chapters that look serious, and some battle scene here and there, it could easily fill that hole, at least temporarily.

Jesus christ we get it that you love Toriko, you can calm down and stop talking about it in every post.

I told my friends that you can pass on Toriko, does that count?

Need recommendations again...

I've read Berserk, Vagabond, 7seeds, Pluto, 20th century boys, Sakamato, Gantz, Onepunch man... many others I've forgotten byt yeh. Mostly interested in dark seinen stuff, not really into battle manga. Kingdom looks alright but I think I would get bored... was thinking about starting Eden?

Any thoughts appreciated.

Edit; oh I'm reading Tokyo Ghoul right now. Started off very well but seems to be veering into predictability now. The moral dilemma element is gone.

Have you check either Parasyte or Homunculus?

I said this before but I do dislike Nana to Kaoru

's art

. Lost interest in it after a while, same for Prison School

(I like the art for that though)

Jokes aside, I love the Ryuta Amazume style but I can see how it could put people off.

Wa ga na wa umishi!

Though if you're looking for dark seinen, either eden or hito hitori futari? Which actually reminds me that I should catch up with that seeing that it just finished scanlating.

I count Berserk and Vagabond among my favourite manga and don't think you would get bored of Kigndom.

If you liked Pluto and 20th Century Boys, you will also like Monster by the same mangaka.

I think the biggest thing that might drive people away is how Kaoru looks.

You can try out Fukumoto's stuff. Ten and Kurosawa were good.

Koe no Katachi, Hinamatsuri, Prison School.

Hinamatsuri looks interesting thanks.

Ah I've heard good things about Parasyte and will check out the other one.

Okay, well Vagabond is my absolute favourite. It's brilliant. Ah I forgot Monster, I've read that too.
