Banana Fish vol 1

Good gang drama shit. It has an Urasawa-esque mystery setup and a wide array of interesting characters. Very well paced first volume, taking its time to show the relevant players and drop little tidbits of the main hook: the mysterious Banana Fish drug that the top mafia are after.

 

[Antiwhippy]

How disappointing. Well, wait a sec... what else this thread... oh. Oh! Ohhh!!

There's another manga, this one is actually cosmicblizzard's favorite manga ever. It's called Itokoi Chidori.

If we're recommending smut then he should read a real man's smut first, like nana to kaoru.

Ok that one I never heard of.

Kinky.

he would probably be into the reverse.

A very interesting read. Short stories about different customers and what food they order but it is very engaging with each one. I definitely like how each story finishes and it usually leaves me with a smile on my face. It's very charming in its own way that makes you want to just read more chapters.

Looks like Sket Dance is ending this month/start of next month (volume 32 Final Volume)

Super Lovers 9.5

Hilarious bonus chapter, especially them all on their patio thing.

Good news: The translations will stop forever being behind.

Bad news: EVERYTHING ELSE. ;_;

And just as I was starting to work on catching up, too.

At least I can take solace in still having quite a bit of the series ahead of me.

 

[bigkrev]

How do you dislike it when it gets to the good part

I just feel it hasn't earned that yet. If you want to be generic, dime a dozen smut, then go right ahead, but I feel this is better than that. Might just be whistfull thinking though.

With Sket Dance ending, I can finally pick it up again. I was 20 chapters in and loving it, but had a lot on my plate at the time.

Is The Breaker any good? I see some people talking about New Waves, so I guess I would start with the original and then move over to New Waves when I'm done. Should I read it at all, and if so, start with the breaker first?

Also, I really love King of Hell. I don't know why, but I do. I think its the comedy, but...maybe its just the dog.

Some parts of The Breaker are good (certain fights, some of the characters), some other aren't (Shioon, the main character, starts off as an insufferable main character and he slowly grows up), but I found it to be an entertaining and enjoyable read thanks to the other characters beside the MC (the 2 teachers mainly).
New Waves makes Shioon become really good and I feel that it's an aspect that can be better appreciated by reading the first part.

Please save my earth vol1

This is really fucking confusing.

The paneling doesn't help at all.

 

[thetechkid]

So there was this series I heard about a while ago but I don't remember too much about it besides it having something to do with overthrowing a government or something and it wasn't too far in, anyone have any guess?

Ah, the golden age of manga. I'll always associate that and Dance Till Tomorrow as the main PULP comics. Great magazine.

I should read this since it's by the author of Umimachi Diary.

There is this mangaka who has two running series since the 70s. Dokaben and Abu-san. The former is weekly, the latter is bi-weekly. He is 74 years old. How does he do it? There are a lot of mangaka in their 30s and 40s who have trouble with one weekly manga. Mad respect for him and Dokaben could be really interesting, too bad nobody would want to scanlate or license such a long series.

It depends on how much work he has to do on the titles. Does he draw both? He could easily keep it up if all he had to do was write them, most writers (novelists) don't actually retire they just sort of die before they put out their next book after all.

Oh man, more Ishiyama vs En'o! This arc is going to be good.
I love that the Ishiyama students (minus Oga) are now one big gang lead by Furuichi :lol

He is the sole author of both series, though maybe he has a lot of assistants who do the majority of work nowadays.

KNIM 231

What's the longest manga ever in this genre? Could this have a shot at the record? I don't know why else this is still running.

The theory most of us have is it's simply running on fumes now as hype for the upcoming anime.

But who really knows.

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Wow, I've caught up with all the One Piece chapters now. This feels odd.

Remember the Titans

Just read this over the weekend. I gotta say the last two chapters...

What?

This wierdness happened because Erm was a titan who only became a titan after the titans attacked and his dad dosed him with titanjuice which in turn cause the monkeyman to scamper about?

So why were they attacking the city again? Their stated reason wasn't even an issue at the time.

Can't wait until Mikasa reveals she's really an android.

is monkeytitan Eren's dad

 

[Wiseblade]

is monkeytitan Eren's dad

Unlikely. Monkey Titan didn't know what the 3D gear was, while Eren's dad almost certainly would. There is the chance that in turning into the Monkey Titan, Eren's dad forgot his past life, but that would be a really dull development.

Yumekui merry 52-58

Maybe it's because it's been awhile since I've caught up but...

Wut.

It's like make-shit-up-as-we-go the manga.

edit: 59

It's nice seeing pharos getting a beat down though.

Kurogane end

... what the flying fuck was that?

Did it get cancelled or something?

Terrible ending. Not that it was that good of a series to begin with.

I thought it was pretty low ranking for awhile in JUMP.

 

[Antiwhippy]

It would explain the abrupt ending.

Huh, actually didn't know it was a jump manga. Mostly because it seemed subpar even by jump standards.

 

[dumbyugi]

It was cancelled, probably would have been cancelled earlier but there were worse series that got canned first.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Ah well, it was an interesting concept that became incredibly generic and bland as it went along.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

When is it time for more new jump series? Guess they'll need a sketdan replacement and end cross manage?

 

[Kurita]

Don't they usually launch new series in Summer?

 

[dramatis]

Wait a few weeks you guys geez 3 new manga were serialized a month ago.

If you're looking for a shounen savior it won't be found in Jump anyway.

Actually, who's still looking to participate in that worldwide Jump manga contest? WHO'S READY TO SAVE SHOUNEN?

 

[Antiwhippy]

Is that thing still going?

After next week I can totally work on my shounen masterpiece that is sure to impress our nippon overlords.

I have a feeling 90% of the submissions gonna be similar to the shit that gets published by Manga Magazine especially something as dreadful as Okamirai.

What an odd pairing. I'm actually suprised someone would ship that.

Maybe you could say that pairing-wise Luffy is a bit too...

Flexible.

OEL are for the most part really bad. Art always feels really "off".. the plot is usually even worse.

Maybe this Jump contest will prove me wrong!?

Art can usually be passable if the story is decent enough, but as case of the one mentioned up above, OEL manga has a long way to go.
