REALHey, MangaGAF. I need some manga suggestions. There's too much stuff out there and they all have weird names and are 227 volumes long it's scary.
I read Yotsuba&! and occasionally force myself to read Lucky Star, and I'll read yurishit like Girl Friends. Today, I bought a volume of A Certain Scientific Railgun because it looked good and also Umineko because I was curious whether there was ever an explanation for all the bullshit that went down in the anime. I don't really know what people are reading right now, other than Shounen garbage obviously.

Oh hey I missed a Reborn discussion
I made this last thread or something (KHR spoilers, kinda?)
Hated everything outside of the Mukuro and Varia arc and my god that ending
I dunno, I wrote that like a month ago and it's been a while since I read the series but that's what I remember of the ending. BLEH. Whatever floats your boat though.
Anyways I have not read Naruto or Bleach is almost two months, holy fuck

Hitman really went downhill after the Varia Arc IMO, when it decided to drop most of the comedic elements and go full Battle Manga. The Demon Spade Arc was just horrible, and the only reason the Final Arc was any good is because the author rushed the thing, so the fights didn't drag. I didn't mind the Deus Ex Machina too much, but that final chapter was so bad. I have no clue why he decided to toss all character progression out the window instead of just letting the story end, was the author hopping to continue it somehow?

Xanxus should have been the protag. He was the ruthless head Vongola needed.

TWGOK stopped being interesting a long time ago.

This was fantastic. I really liked the art, the girls were good looking and so were the guns. The action flowed incredibly well, probably some of the best I've seen. Even during the more crowded scenes it was still easy to follow everything that was going on. The stories were great, even the one chapter stories were fun and exciting. The longer arcs, especially the Goldie ones, were fantastic with each chapter making me want to read more. The characters were almost all great, with the exception of Becky who I didn't really care for. Rally and Minnie-May were fun leads and the supporting cast was great, I especially liked Bean and Roy. The villians were mostly great, Goldie and Gray worked really well as major villians but some of the one of baddies were a bit underwhelming, though that's understandable as most of them were supposed to just be standard thugs.
If I have any complaints it's that some of the characters, May especially, got pushed to the side too much towards the end for Rally. Minnie-May was supposed to be partners with Rally but in the last arc she's in it about as much as Becky and Misty. It's only a minor issue though.
Overall this was an absolutley fantastic series and I'm going to start on Burst as soon as I can.
Art: 10/10
Story: 10/10

Great series.
The Goddess arc had its moments. The most worrying thing about this arc though is that it implies that we'll have Kid Keima arcs with all the Goddess hosts. The World Namek Only Knows indeed.

I was thinking about starting TWGOK soon but if it's as tedious as you guys say I'll wait until the arc is over.

Shirayukihime to 7-nin no Shuujin 01-04
A kid wakes up after two years of sleep and finds Tokyo in ruins ruled by people dressed in military outfits.
Well I like the art at least. The power aspect could be cool if they do explain it. Though it does seem pretty standard and not interesting on its own.
The characters themselves are pretty boring and don't really stand out. Protag isn't really setting himself as a good lead besides always being happy and I guess sidekick isn't anything better either.
I guess there isn't really anything all that special with this series. I mean it has some potential but it doesn't really seem to be going anywhere with it. I'm also waiting for seeing how the title actually fits the series as well.
Though, I guess it does provide for all that military uniform fetish.
I didnt even know it was in English. Had been on my list for awhile because the volume cover looked great. Guess Ill start as it sounds quite good.

She did it for her ART.
She did it because she has been groomed to accept anything "sensei" says. Cut off from any support network and trained to accept violence as a gift. Glass Mask is a child abuse manual.

I can't actually deny any of that.
Realistically tsukikage or her mother or the restaurant she worked at would have been in jail by now.
BTW I'm assuming that you're at the dual plays arc by now?

Maya is really falling for Yuu, which I guess means that he'll start going out with Ayumi pretty soon. Because Drama.

The beginning (first 70 chapters or so) is pretty funny (I won't say "good", because you wouldn't miss anything by not reading it), but I'd say it has run its course and I wish the manga was already over. Not even the silly war about the best girl could make it interesting again.

edit: btw, you're probably nearing where I feel is the first truly great moment of the manga.

Boichi's collection of hentai stuff, it was alright, quick read since you can skip half the dialog in each story but the Werewolf story really stood out:

Not complaining, quite the opposite honestly. I LOVE old style manga drawings and pacing.
Story's pretty good. At the end of the first volume now.
I know, right? I couldn't get past the second chapter of 7 seeds, but this just fell inder my threshold.

Try and reread 7 Seeds one day. It's great.
So yeah, I'm hooked on Glass Mask. So glad there's 38 volumes translated.
