Knew it was Sousuke, the chapter with the blight kind of made it clear imo. Now how will he make the reveal to Shino.

I see them more as seinen manga though but the exact classification is kinda hard to pin point, more so for Naoki Yamamoto works. It would feel more as pornography if the spark of humanity is lost but this author always enjoying treading this line carefully.

It's not as if he don't work on h-manga, it just that I don't care much about those comparatively.

Not a bad stance. Aren't they also called seinen over there anyways, just written differently?

I am saying they don't ( or rarely ) feel like actual human beings. More often than not, they are moulded as a source material for instant gratification to the readers. Remember our conversation about NTR a while back? It's basically how I feel about hentai works too. I don't have this issue if I'm reading say a gag manga.

I have never heard of this manga but the artstyle seems so familiar. Nickelodeon's author?

Goddamn the last scene brought a tear to my eye, even though I really could care less about gundam. It's hard to not appreciate the legacy shown throughout the manga and what little I know through osmosis, especially when it is shown with Hideki Owada's flair for amping the drama to eleven. Honestly feels like that's all he's does anyway but he is bloody good at it.

Oh yes I can understand that. I'm just saying that there are some h-manga where characters have some measure of humanity. Would you consider those works to be seinen even if they depict explicit sex in detail?

Yeah, Sexual Instinct and the Hydrogen Bomb War and The End of Sexual Instinct and the Hydrogen Bomb War are by the author of Nickelodeon, Dowman Sayman. Give it a read if you have some time! (And maybe try to classify them?)

The stories in The End of Sexual Instinct and the Hydrogen Bomb War startelosing d efficiency when you realize all of them ended up sex-related one way or another, would had been more effective if that wasn't the case. Oddly only the first story wasn't related to sexuality. Some good works there though.

Yeah, both are by Douman Seiman.

In a lot of the stories the sexual acts weren't exactly necessary in fact (such as TogeToge). I kinda like how sometimes you wonder what the sex is for, while other times you know it's (somewhat) justified. Dowman Sayman's absurd style.

The story is even better than the gundam series. Goddammit. Respect to Tomino and friend for doing the impossible and bringin new era in anime.
Amazing.

Nah, I won't try to classify them. I am not up to it to be frank. Usually, what I'm looking for is a story that's relatable, h-works or not. If that's not the case, then it better be a train-wreck.

If you want to read a h-manga by dowman that explores the deep, deeeeep nature of human sexuality you should read paraiso.

Guaranteed to blow your mind.

What would you consider Nickelodeon with sex to be? Because these are pretty much it.

Finally Im up to date again, cant believe I fell behind on my favorite sports series since Free!/Oofuri.

Best ot3 getting canon backstory experience that I can clearly imagine having taken place. This match must be animated fast as the one with Karasuno v Aobajosai in anime was the best since Nekoma. Its already so good with everyones trust in Oikawa...and then the Asahi/Nishinoya combo, more of them is needed in games (well as long as it doesnt take away from the number of quick strikes and feints).

Also obligatory cool Tsukki pose and Hinata, those goggles on Tsukki are the best.

Hm, I might be misremembering, sounds like a good excuse to re-read it.
I do love Dowman Sayman mangas. At the very least they are never boring.

I love re-reading his works from time to time. They are all so absurd yet deep.

(Most of them.)

Clearly it means you should read Horihone Saizou's works then!

Made some minor adjustments to the rules, shown by underlines.

dramatis said:
1. Sort of guide to how you should post.
In bold, put the name of the series as the first line in your post. Then you can go ahead and discuss whatever is on your mind without tags, okay? Make sure there is a space between the bolded name of the series and your text. Here's an example:

dramatis said:
3. Regarding spoilers in this thread.
We will discuss all the manga in one topic with no tags. If you don't want to be spoiled by the chapter as soon as the translation is out, do not come in here. Also, since we are not talking about the anime, you can mention new episodes without tags either since they are always behind or are filler. You should know well enough not to come in here not wanting to be spoiled. Please bold the header of your post as shown in rule 1 to help other posters avoid spoilers.

If you understand the content of the chapter you wish to discuss has significant spoilers for the series and wish to discuss without spoiler tags, and the chapter is a fresh (within 1 day) release, please add some additional detail to the bolded chapter title to indicate as such. Example:
Prison School 666 SUPER SPOILERS

I don't know what I could possibly spoil.
Click to expand...
Exercise good judgement about spoilers.

Again, no spoiler tags for text needed, that is the benefit of coming here.

Caveats:
Leaks do not count as translation or scans. If a translation has not been released yet, spoiler tag any leaks and discussion of the chapter. Leaks should be sourced (a name/location at least, if a link is not possible).

Regarding image spoilers: "Please do not embed major spoiler images, ever."
​
Click to expand...
It's a rather specific use. The chapter has to have a very recent translated release, and it has to have actually sensitive story content. For series where spoilers aren't really a huge deal (Nisekoi), you are welcome not to mark the title. If it's a sort of dull chapter of Hunter x Hunter with no big reveals, you are also welcome not to mark the title.

Creativity is allowed, such as Prison School 777 SPOILERS THE SIZE OF MEIKO'S BOOBS and so on. However
[QUOTE="God's Beard!";133602677]The legendary highlight is to be used only for Sanctuary you sacrilegious fool.[/QUOTE]
the highlight tag is off limits apparently so don't use it.

To be fair I haven't actually read his stuff other than those 2. Those 2 aren't really ero-guro, though from what I've seen kago usually treats ero-guro with a sense of humour and absurdity instead of just gut-wrenching snuff.

Anamorphosis and fraction are great though. Really funny and mind-bending stuff.

Also like his work with flying lotus.

Harem End is also similarly meta and rather light on the guro side like Anamorphosis and Fraction so...

Oh I wasn't expecting Ki-oon to publish this. Hope you didn't get spoiled (too much) by this thread.

I still find it odd that it's classified as a shonen.

Suzuka 81-86

Suzuka is unable to talk with her boyfriend in a normal fashion, no shock there.
Yamato stupidly goes on a double date and we get introduced to a new girl, within the first page I can tell she's better than Suzuka.
Yeery relationship drama.

Suzuka 87

Oh for fuck sake, how much of an idiot is Yamato?

Suzuka 88

"Is this the right thing to do"?
Seriously Yamato? Seriously?
Is going on a double date with someone that's not your girlfriend and then go alone on a date with that same person on Christmas "the right thing to do?"
Of course not!
Oh God, I'm actually starting to feel bad for Suzuka!

Suzuka 90

Suzuka being rational enough to forgive him, crazy.
Won't last long.

Antiwhippy said:
Oh yes it is very good.

Fraction is pretty amazing as well.

Looks like Costi-kun's pestering for Tasogare has yet to pay off. ┐( =ɜ=)┌ ~♪

Good that Prison School is getting localized though. Here's hoping more people will reach enlightenment thanks to it.
