bu.. bu... butWho are those people though?
i usually laugh at Toriko and SJ since it got that big push and it didn't do much at all.
also add other series with 1/10 of that push fucking curb stomping it makes it funnier as well. And if you want to go there also add the supposed rejection of SnK at some point in time as well.
:trollface
I didn't like Komatsu too at first he is slowly maturing though and this past arc has him knocked out
yet he brings the whole cooking thing in there so I can live with it

honestly its just very disappointing so i usually rib on it and laugh at SJ.
as said before it could actually explode one day but for now that expectation is basically near the bottom.
Also i'm not ribbing the content since it sounds interesting but i do have to wonder why enough people aren't biting and could that be on the manga at that point (art, characters, story, etc) or are people just plainly not as interested or willing to give it a shot.

Hey guys if you could choose one type of really specific manga genre that you could only read what would it be
I prefer those old school manly action series like Jojo or FoTNS
Toriko and Kingdom have some hints of this therefore explaining my love for these series
Plus some series occasionally have those tough dudes (even though a majority of them die) which also explains my interest for those series
My second favourite genre is old school scifi... the avi explains it
but If I would choose one it would be the former seeing as those series tend to have out of this world wackiness that satisfies my scifi quench a little
I guess that kinda explains why I love Toriko seeing as it has some teasing of scifi stuff plus it has some nods to the old school macho man... the thing it is missing is more emotion and serious deaths of main characters leading to character development before it can ever reach my top 5 series
I am a man of world building also so when I mangaka takes his/her time defining their world I really do appreciated..... which kinda explains my disappointment in series like Bleach but adore series like HXH and stuff
Lastly I like genres that have good writing and/or have a nice message.... like real life based series or simple town series
it doesn't give off a first good impression as in a series about food hunting may make some people to not take it that seriously.... Plus like a lot of series it starts off slow which doesn't help it for people who hear all this hype for it from their friends only to not see that much hype in the first couple of chapters

realistic series are nice... it is great to take a break from all the over the top drama and over teasing found in typical shojo

Maybe less teasing, but I think the over the top drama is still really abundant in josei I think?

is it?
:/
I sometimes see realistic series that have romance in it as a side thing as more pleasant
I don't fully read pure josei though
Heh, depends.
I'm reading Umimachi Diary, Chihayafuru, Princess Jellyfish... and they don't have a lot of it. Or maybe I'm just too tolerant and just don't notice it.
I guess it depends on what they're going for. The good is stuff like Nodame Cantabile or Chihayafuru.
The bad can get very smut-like I hear lol.

I'd have to say Tragedy in Seinen manga. Like for example one of the reasons I love Tokyo Ghoul is for the suffering. Seeing Kaneki's suffering was one heck of a ride. It made me really sad just seeing how tragic of a character he is with his multiple personality disorder.
Also Berserk is another good example. Just seeing Gutts tragic life helped define his character and made me love his character so much. Fuck just seeing his childhood really killed me inside.
I don't know but tragedies just have something special about them. I guess it has to do with being emotionally attached to the protagonist and it also helps if has quality writing. I also love anti-heroes a lot more than your traditional justice seeking heroes.

Indeed. The despair is real! Keep on reading, the end is very worth it.
Slice of life.
I really like 4 koma manga like Kariage-kun, Kobo-chan. Never got bored by it.
Was about to read this then I realized it was SNAFU.

Hmmm Penisman, such a unique name for a series. I'll probably end up reading it later.

It's written by the Author of Tokyo Ghoul and his first series.
Yeah it's pretty much about a dude with a penis looking head.

counts what you find tolerant
I have a fear of checking some of those out since you know MangGAF and all
smut.... realistic?
yeah that does sound bad
Bro you know whats up *fistbump
never read Arigatou before so I can't help you out... I am sure there are people here who have though
yeah well developed tragic stories in seinen is good.... When I read part one of Tokyo Ghoul I never expected the story to be so grey as in the struggles of some ghouls that just want to integrate and/or live peacefully and those police officers who thought what they where doing was justice without thinking that there might be some innocents who would suffer
Sometimes too much tragedy is too much for me seeing as I'd like some good things to bear fruit once and a while
Slice of life series our great if they're handled well... I tend to feel relaxed when I read some
the short stories are great too
My favourite one long ongoing SoL series is Space Brothers if it would be considered a slice of life series to begin with

Chousuinou Kei 17 & 18
Kei was so good in the random filler chapter. I loved how he threw the shiny disc to help the bird out and it came back.
Scarlet Fox mystery is intriguing, I have no idea what the solution to the mystery could be though

Otouto ja Irarenai!! 4
Google sensei always knows. Im so glad the two bros could finally move their relationship forward a bit. Really hilarious chapter due to all his inner turmoil. Comedy is really her strong point in writing this that it made me feel immensely fun and memorable.
It's basically Prunus Girl expect they go yes, it's a guy at the very start.
I kind of remember this. Did they ever go anywhere with it? Like the boy and and the crossdresser start dating was he trans, gay?

Reading Koe no Katachi on crunchyroll.
Perhaps I'm a bit ignorant, but why does Nishimiya wear hearing aids if her deafness is so severe that she doesn't seem to be able to hear even with them in?

I know a guy who is similar to her. He's pretty much deaf without them, but can at least make out some sounds with hearing aids, which can be a pretty big difference. I imagine it was the same for Nishimiya.
