Sex zombies really came outta the left field. The little bonus with her being a couple with the guide was cute though.

I honestly forgot
his friend/collegue was actually a dude
until the zombies attack LOL.

Also that memory of the meeting of the MC and his assistant at the end was touching.

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind Vol 1-3

So uh...wow. Where to start.

Everything about this manga hits a homerun thus-far. The art is amazing, the world and setting is very detailed and beautifully crafted, the sense of adventure and wonderment is an all time high, and all of the characters are deeply interwoven into the multiple plotlines taking place in this world.

The entire package of this manga is just well-done. I have to give Viz credit where it's due, they did killer with this release in terms of how quality everything is in it.

The paneling is nothing but a stroke of genius. Everything feels lifelike and makes sense from panel to panel, of course this is to be expected because Miyazaki is an animator.

My only issue with it really is that the action scenes are hard to follow at times, and Nausicaa is pretty much a standard central character that hasn't outright gone through any defining arcs. Maybe this changes, we'll see, as I have five more volumes to cover.

But so far, this is A+ stuff and I highly recommend it. Easily one of the best adventure manga I've ever read.

Why the fuck is Ciel doing these instead of working on Hi Score Girl?

Nuggets of touching moments amidst a sea of debauchery. That's ShindoL for you~

Took 13 years but this is Hayao Miyazaki at his very best.

Without much spoilers, I would advise you to pay close attention beliefs and moral values of every different group / tribe. Most fantasy works has a tendency to adopt modern values in the society it portrays instead of something which co-relates to their backgrounds in the world.

Nothing really unusual.

Ok, I'll read your spin off since I already read the other 2, Akechi Keibu no Jikenbo.

I keep forgetting REAL is still ongoing. I really fell out with this manga despite loving the first 10 volumes a lot.

Is it because it feel a bit directionless like Vagabond?

I can't really response to this because I put it on hold at around chapter 50.

Story was fine, it was just cause after catching up to volume 10 I hit the yearly wait between volumes and I just stopped caring.

Yo Tokyo Ghoul:Re sold really well just in 3 days. Even with that ending (Granted I thought it was awesome) people are still following the series. The novel of Tokyo Ghoul is selling well too.

Akatsuki no Yona got a boost as well even if it isn't that big.

OnePunch Man selling really well without an anime, then again it probably won't get an anime adaptation.
 
Fairy Girls 01

A (another) spin-off this time about the four main female members of Fairy Tail.

This ranks in the why even have this department just before the Kid Gray one but after the Mahou Shoujo Wendy one.
 
Uwakoi 1-23

I don't know why I had this backlogged, and I probably wouldn't have read this if I knew more about it. I am filled only with disgust, unrelated to the smut.

Slayer of Combofiends
Kamisama no Memochou Vol.01

The story of a regular guy as he encounters a group of NEET detectives as they solve weird cases.

Not bad. The case was pretty interesting and it was a nice cast of characters. Not so much of regular LN junk so I found it enjoyable.

I really liked the anime but usually animes butcher LN's so I wanna read the manga now!

Merry Christmas MangaGAF!

Is this Suzuka? I still hate the ending for the manga, so confusing and frustrating.

Tokyo Ghoul RE Chapter 14

Someone please explain the last page, it completely flew over my head. Are they exchanging something that Haise owns? I have no clue. Also, with Urie (the one who's thoughts are shown and is pretty mean) becoming full ghoul will be interesting to see. Can't believe I'm loving Tokyo Ghoul so much more after each chapter!
 
Itoshi no Karin 20 END

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this light-hearted romance comedy. The art is good and the story is charming. I didn't expect it to end at Chapter 20 though and I guess the way it ended is quite in line with the tone of the story but I do feel that it could be more satisfying maybe with just a few extra chapters. A nice short, sweet light-romance -- recommended.
