Except the mistake of being born. Hopefully Alice's masterplan will get rid of Yoshinaga once and for all!

Blade Play 31

Haganai did the whole "mecha smut" thing far better. :/

Magi 189

beamlava spam zzzzzzz

Yamada 67

Man, he's taking losing his friends like that far too well, anyone would be complete devastated. I mean holy shit, you only need top look at Miyamura's sister to see how messed up this kinda thing is.

I'm guessing Tamaki might've worked out some plan (or made one up) to bring their memories back and he'll try and use that to get Yamada to make him the president, thus making the vision Yamada saw with Tamaki and Shiraishi a reality.

It is interesting to note that despite the author's intention of making her likeable, apparently there are so many of us (or all of us?) reading AKB49 can't find it in our hearts to like Yoshinaga.

scott pilgrim: comic or manga

the correct answer is *shrugs*

there's a tonne of manwha though that's pretty popular, even a couple of series i thought were japanese until i actually looked at the author names. Can't recall them off the top of my head htough except... uh, sun-ken rock? although he lives in Japan... idk.
Nah sun ken rock is manga. It's serialised in Japan. Manhwa refers to the Korean web comic format more often than not.

Dragons Rioting 7

Kind of meh chapter. I wanted to see Rin-chan fight, since he should have less problems with a loli-looking girl.
The reveal at the end was kinda funny to me.

Traveler's Matchless Island Story

I was looking for what the author had made prior to something else I was reading, since the style seemed familiar (he made Casual Inevitability Contact, which was quite nice imo), and stumbled on this which I had missed on.
Art isn't great here (Casual was better) but manages to be funny and arousing. It got some sort of depth for a porn story, with the whole sorta primitive life angle. The plot twist, so obvious yet it still surprised me.
I also felt a weird mix of arousal and anger during the orgy night for a variety of reasons.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
One Piece spoiler is out.

No chapter next week. I imagine this is part of Oda's reduced schedule.

And I just saw it was posted. Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Little Forest 2


Haha, aw, that's so adorable. Also mindblowing that they actually make their own nutella spread.

This manga is pretty great.

Also their worcestershire sauce doesn't sound like worcestershire sauce at all, but it sounds fucking delicious either way. I have to try making it one day.

Little Forest 1-16

There's just one word for this manga: pleasant.

There's an underlying darkness in the narrative, what with the main protag's parental abandonment and her other troubles in life that leads her to her current village lifestyle, but overall it takes a backseat to her making all sorts of delicious sounding food from her village farms, the woods surrounding her, and just living as close to nature as possible. The underlying darkness does help drive her character narrative along, and I appreciate that.

Also there's something weirdly attractive about a woman who can grow her own food and make delicious food from it.

Baby Steps v01-current

I couldn't stop reading this last weekend. The matches sometimes drag on just a bit, especially since I caught up to the current chapter in the middle of one, but that's to be expected for a shounen sports manga. I really like the training sequences.

Natsu is also a top-tier QT. I wish the mangaka would show one of her matches from her perspective, though. It's not like he only allows Maruo to have an internal monologue during matches.

Are there any other manga that are similar to Baby Steps and Frogman that people could recommend? I like them because they aren't ultra-shounen, and have a decent mix of personal/sports plot and character development.

School Police 1-4

Yet another Morinaga Milk Yuri series, complete with the fairly meh art and the odd bouts of incredible sappiness. The plot, focusing on of two police officers working undercover at a peaceful All Girls High School posing as students is dumb as hell but all of the above doesn't stop it from having its moments.

Maybe Aohiru no Sora and Giant Killing (well, it's a seinen though).

Rookies seems like exactly what you're looking for.

Check out REAL, it's about wheelchair basketball. Truly a masterpiece imo

I'll add both of these to my list. I have almost 20 new "possible reads" just from scanning back through the last 5 pages of this thread.

I've also liked pretty much every manga that I've tried from the top smut list, although I refuse to start TLR. It's just a harem series with zero actual romance development, right?

So far probably my second or so favorite of these type of written works. Excellent and easy to love character designs for the leads. The antagonist so far is kind of cool too. The concept for them and their one wish of a lifetime as well as battling using their pet gods of sorts is also a compelling idea. Looking forward to where this goes now that the emotional aspect may have gotten out of the way. Great start.

Erotic Fairy Tales - Red riding hood

I don't know what I expected.

Well, except for the fact that it's really bad smut. I expected that.

Now DTL, I usually just laugh at your posts but dissing Inoue's art as "needing more work"? Well that's just won't do. Not even your status as celebrated celebrity here should make you immune from making statements like that :mad:

Anyways,

Wonzo, from what manga does your avatar comes? From the art it seems it's real funny.

Hey wonzo, did you post about the manga about shit yet? Theonik needs something to read.

Wait, that's not the one I think it is, is it?

Probably one of the few times I felt like actually puking reading manga. Like, there were actual convulsions in my throat.
