Man, Sumire's so great but it's also kind of bittersweet, specially when time skips are worked into the story. Is kind of sad to think about the old man or about what it'll happen to Sumire later :smith:

An interesting selection for you folks today!

Oh, My God! -- a manhwa about God and the other deities and saints of the various pantheons of the world in their ordinary lives at the Heaven Corporation. Good if you enjoyed Saint Young Men! It gets more plotty later on, and it's kind of neat seeing the various religious myths get turned into superpowers.

Ms. Hitomi's Infirmary-- Feels a bit like what'd happen if you combined Franken Fran with Centaur's Worries by way of Dowman Seyman. It's a tad fanservicey but nothing too gratuitous.

Read through this, pretty entertaining and the gods are really funny but the story goes kind of slow. I'd like to see gods from other pantheons joining the fun, Aztecs especially :v:

Also New Truthism

The class rep is the best :allears:

EDIT:

I feel that the OP's gotten a bit long in the tooth and I'm wanting to update it a bit. Let's compile a list of "Thread Favorites" to include in the new OP! Something like the "Top Five Most Recommended Surreal Daily Life Mangas" would do nicely.

I can think of probably two that would definitely be on that list -- Seki-Kun and Sumire-16.

Assuming that we're leaving off mangas that have their own spinoff threads (although they should perhaps be linked to) and therefore Hinamatsuri is ineligible, I mostly like this. However, I'd make it unranked and drop Midori for either Centaur's Worries or Girls' Group Number 7. Also cheat Sumire 16 & 17 into one.

Gently enveloping the target with indiscriminate love.
If you count Angel Densetsu and Midori as slice of live you also have to count Hinamatsuri. Which means Hina should win.
To me slice of live means the lack of main plot. Which means Gun and Stamp feels much more slice of live then Midori no Hibi with it's romance plot.
Also if I try to think of an list I would probably forget about a lot of Manga that I hadn't thought of in a long time.

1. Hinamatsuri
2. Centaur's worries
3. Tonari no Seki
4. Sumire 16
5. Flying Witch

btw. If you like Angel Densetsu and Midori no Hibi you should try Ocha Nigosu.

DrSunshine

For me it's:

  • Sumire
  • Seki-Kun
  • Donyatsu
  • Angel Densetsu
  • Ryuushika-Ryuushika

Honorable Mentions

  • The surrealer chapters of Soredemo Machi Wa Mawatteiru
  • Hinamatsuri
  • The Wandering of Girls' Group No. 7

EDIT:

Also indirectly lead to the translation of Kumamiko, which was cool. I haven't read enough, but I'll vouch for Seki-kun, Sakamoto desu ga, Angel Densetsu, and Midori Days. I should really get around to Sumire one of these days... perhaps right now.

For me it's probably
1. Voynich Hotel
2. Sumire 16-sai
3. Ran And the Grey World if that counts. Pretty sure someone mentioned it at least, and if not you should probably check it out.
4. Sakamoto
5. Jitsu wa Watashi etc

I think that completed things should have priority in any new OP. Any newcomers to the thread will look at the first post and the most recent page(s). Then they could get completed things from the OP and ongoing things from when we post about new chapters.

That or just two separate lists for best completed and best ongoing.

Sumire and Midori are the two examples I support to the fullest. They have what I would consider the least marketable or explainable gimmicks I could ever come up with yet somehow turn them into extended, fantastic stories.

I also think I discovered Qualia the Purple here, and even though it pretty far from being a "slice of life" story anymore, I still think it is beyond fantastic and worth the time of anyone.

I don't even know how I would market or describe Qualia. "You might think this is story about a girl who thinks other people are robots is insane, but you. have. NO. IDEA."

Nope! He even makes a note of this in the afterword of Sumire-16, saying that it's better as a mystery.

So if I have things correct, the thread's top 5 picks are, in no particular order:

  • Sumire
  • Seki-kun
  • Angel Densetsu
  • Centaur's Worries
  • Midori Days

With Hinamatsuri, being a comic with its own thread, as an unranked sixth.

Is that good?
