Hi everyone.

I was lurking here more then one year and was finally approved not so long ago.
During that year i managed to read Oyasumi Punpun when there was lats boom of reading it thanks to Zweizer.
I found a glory of Prison School on my own, but thanks to MangaGaf I found about Dowman Sayman, Jitsu Wa... and probably about a lot of other things, which I can't right now remember.

I do not read Nisekoi but watch anime, so my girls rating for now looks like this:
Marika>Chitoge>Tsugumi>Onodera

Speaking about my manga favorites:
Yugami-kun ni wa Tomodachi ga Inai
Prison School
Fujimi Lovers (but last chaptes sucked a bit, so I'm not sure how it'll go from there)
Nickelodeon
Oyasumi Punpun (probably... I'm glad that I read it, but I'm still not sure how I feel about it)
Medaka Box (starting from Kamagawa appearance)

So starting from today I'm in your care. Nice to meet you everyone.

P.S. English is not my native, so I'm sorry for possible mistakes.

I read it like three years ago... Was really impressed at that time (ending was really nice), have plans to read it again, but not sure that will appreciate it the same way.

I probably should say that I really like "slice of life" stuff. But I think that I already read (or watched) the best from the genre.

Finished KNIM already (read it in ongoing form from chapter 90 till the end) - it was not so rage-inducing like some people thought. (I think I read all Seo's manga to be honest...)

And Berserk - I think last time I read all available chapters two years ago, don't want to come back for it for now. But I began readin Kingdom (first hundred chapters for now) - this one reminds me about Berserk quite a lot.

If you like SoL, did you try:
Aqua
Himouto
Petit-Tan
Flying Witch
Otoyomegatari
Riko & Haru & Irukawa Hot Springs

Or rather do you have a readlist so we can efficiently and compactly force our recommendations on you without you asking for them

Himouto - is it which Umaru-chan is? I read 5-10 chapters of it, but it's too simple for me with some 4-koma flavor (I rarely enjoy them, but Ojojojo and one about love-stories are good).
I think I haven't read other manga you named, and that is really impressive)

I don't have a readlist (I tried to do it for anime long time ago, but droped this idea), but you all can make something like your "top ten" list and may be I'll find something for myself in it (or share my impressions on what I read from it).
I think I arleady have a "7 seeds", "Ore to Akuma no Blues" and "Oddman" in my "to read" list. With "7 seeds" I have a problem with art (usually I'm not a fan of shojo / shojo artstyle, but there are some exceptions(Honey and Clover (but in anime form) is one of my favorite shows)) and with others right now I have a problem named Bloodborne on my hands. But I almost finished it, so I plan to read them after.

Question for Manga Gaf:

have you guys ever started a manga series halfway through? or in some extreme cases even started a series on the latest chapter, disregarding the beginning and able to keep up?


I've done this a couple of times already (HXH ant arc, haven't gone back to read any previous arcs, Ippo vs Woolie in Hajime no ippo, heck even Skypeia in One Piece). I love Baki the grappler, even though i started on the 2nd season of the manga (right after he won vs Jack).

just catching the tidbits enough who is who and why this is like this.
Click to expand...

I'm essentially doing this with Bleach, before i only saw the battle Aizen vs Ichigo and then started reading like 10 chapters ago at best... i don't even know what a reiatsu is or what is soul society or huecho mundo and all the stuff they talk about, i'm there only for the OPness of Aizen.

Aw shucks. Welcome~

Concerning Punpun, have you read the interview with Asano? It sheds a light on many things that happened during the course of the series.

For slice of life series, on top of what panda recommended to you, I suggest you also check out Yotsuba&!, Hinamatsuri and Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru. As for 7 Seeds, don't let the art deter you from reading it, as the manga contains some of the best story and character development of the medium.

Either way, enjoy your stay, and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions~

This isn't the most historically accurate thing I've read but it's a pretty good primer on the life and death of the a forged in neverending brutality. He who paved the very bedrock of the worlds largest empire in human history with the very genocidal thuggishness that surrounded his entire upbringing.

My only complaint with this is I felt it kinda whitewashed just how brutal the Mongol Empire was but then again I'm not an expert on the subject matter and even then, in the spite of my misgivings this was no less a compelling read from start to finish.

Now, onto Sangokushi…

Yeah, I read it. Really enjoyed his idea that
"even if Punpun is still alive - it's worse then death to him"
. Some things really need that kind of endings. It felt like some anti-"Catcher in the rye" for me. Thinking about trying to read Solanin from him some time this year.

I was thinking about readin Yotsuba, but I rarely read some pure comedy without plot development (I have this kind of impression about Yotsuba, no offence, may be I'm mistaken) so it's not in my top priority right now.
Same can be said about Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru - saw some anime episodes when it aired.
I think I'll try Hinamatsuri - doesn't look bad, not sure what I feel about premise.

Solanin is fantastic as well, albeit far more down-to-earth.

Hinamatsuri is better than the other two in terms of plot, though it has a slightly more supernatural feel. It's a pretty quirky manga with brilliant humor. Since you prefer more story-driven slice of life series, I'd also suggest you read Stretch, Horimiya, Hi-Score Girl, Yandere Kanojo and Molester Man.

It really drops the ball after
Koizumi defeats Hitler and gets stranded on the moon and the series starts dibbling on Japan politicians instead of Super Arians, it really feels like the manga progression went backwards.



I'm still unsure about paying 2500 yen to go this thing, it will either be extremely disappointing or life scarring.
