Huh, I thought I was reading this before.

Anyway, this seems pretty good. Nice to have a gutsy female lead and a series about supernatural cleaning is different enough for me to keep going.

Just out of curiosity, are there any websites or specific rss feeds that focus specifically on recent licensing of manga for the US?

I like manga but prefer things targeted at an older audience (think Shigeru Mizuki's Showa series or the Yoshihiro Tatsumi collections like Abandon the Old Tokyo, rather than Naruto or One Piece). The problem is content like this seems to be a bit out of the mainstream in the current manga licensing world in the US. I'd like to keep abreast of what's coming out.

Also, if you have any reading suggestions based on those works, I'd love to hear them.

I think at this point only Vertical licenses those kind of manga. There is Drawn & Quarterly and Fantagraphics, but I don't know how much committed they are to manga these days. I generally just periodically check out what they have on twitter or whenever ANN covers their press releases.

As for suggestions there is Satoshi Kon manga Tropic of The Sea. Helter Skelter and Pink by Kyoko Okazaki. Sunny from Taiyo Matsumoto. Nijigahara Holograph from Asano and A Distant Neighborhood by Jiro Taniguchi. Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms by Fumiyo Kouno. And I guess everything by Tezuka (Buddha, Phoenix, Apollo's Song) if you haven't already read him.

Yato father is fucking ruthless. Attacks where it hurts most.

Poor Hiyori, dat cliffhanger. Cant wait for the next chapter, it will be a really interesting development.

Damn Chiyo is pissed :O

but Kate being the big bad she will likely be spared from whatever happens next chapter due to plot armor


Gentarou

well that escalated quickly...

never would have expected all the chapters to eventually become related and the book having such a fucking dark turn in overall tone.

Meh, has potential, about boxing and becoming strong. It actually has a decent plot but too many holes to really tie it together. A bit more on the graphic side for those that are interested so be careful, NSFW.
 
Baka ga Zenra de Yatte Kuru

As a bad writer, this really spoke to me. Some of that shit hits hard.

But what I want to know is if that really was a Fight Club scenario or not.

This is so close to being straight hentai. You can't hide this with pens.

Nah still Alice. That 9hr phonecall.

Assassination Classroom 111

Dayum Nagisa. Looks like we are heading towards the endish game here.

Heaven was discovered to be true and that people will only need to accumulate virtue points during their lives to get in, though no one has ever been able to get in. A couple of high school students decide to try and change this.

Pretty good one shot. The progression got a little confusing but damn that ending was pretty good. Perfect as an one shot.

Innocent volume 1

This was deeper than I expected. At the end of the first volume I didn't feel like too many events were actually shown, yet it felt like a lot of things had happened.
I feel for Charles-Henri here, with the way he's treated and how he has to accept his inescapable destiny. I felt for him when he was feeling shame in showing his face to Jean.
I felt for him when his father collapsed and he had to step up. I cheered for him in how he managed to talk his way out of killing the Lion and I was distraught when Jean spit at him.

It was a volume full of feelings, mostly sad feelings, but there was also a certain sense of sweet tenderness because Charles-Henri's innocent soul shone through.
 
Dolls Code 1-2

This has a fuckawesome setup, but I'm worried the chapter count indicates it got axed. Would suck with how these kinds of stories are usually twist central.

That's an angle I have never thought about. A hero to monsters.

Oh ok, Director has a reason and strangely, he has a kinda compelling argument. 7 more chapters then. I will miss this series when it ends.
