I always figured they changed it so the anime would have some kind of resolution because they weren't going to make anymore. Fortunately I was wrong!

You're probably mostly right - I'm sure they didn't plan to get a second season, and they obviously cared enough to actually put some genuine effort into it. Just stopping on just another mini-plot that doesn't really accomplish anything sucks (See: Sasameki Koto,  ). I think they really handled it well here, and I expect them to do the work necessary to smoothly transition into the second season despite differences in the manga.

New chapter of Between Rough and Smooth. Cute, but comes out far too infrequently for such short chapters.  Also, if anyone hasn't heard, My Love Story! is getting an anime.

I really, really loving love the anime. But no, I'm holding out for a season 3. Which is rare, I usually almost always prefer reading a manga version to watching an anime of it, but I've never even looked at a single page of Chihayafuru.

There's no guarantee there'll be a third season, the manga's art is fantastic and the most recent arcs/developments are the some of the best in the entire story! More importantly if there is a third two-cour season it'll probably end at the most recent chapter's cliffhanger which is a fate worse than death.

If there's no announcement of a third season in like, 1-2 years, then I'll probably break down and read it.

We'll see I guess. Fragments of Love's final* three chapters came out recently, I don't think the ending was as strong as I had hoped, especially since it came out so infrequently. Pretty solid over all though. *I think, basing that on it being labeled "last piece"

I generally hate sports and sports anime but I love Chihayafuru. Though I tend to see it more as a shounen battle manga with card games instead of fights.

You guys made me cave in and start reading Chihayafuru. So happy I did! On another note, is anyone else hate watching Wolf Girl & Black Prince? Because gently caress that gross bullshit. I keep hoping she'll leave, but I know it'll never happen.

I would have rather had it end the way I expected, it seemed a little forced the way it wound up. I'd like to see a follow up or at least a bonus chapter wherein the protagonist actually winds up with someone.

But, yeah, if that's not your thing you probably won't like it that much. That explains a lot as I'm similarly bored w/sports manga series too. This may or may not be related to how terribly I did in HS gym classes. Gnossiennes posted:On another note, is anyone else hate watching Wolf Girl & Black Prince? Because gently caress that gross bullshit. I watched 1-2 episodes before realizing you know I have a lot of OTHER cool anime series I could be following this season too. It'd be a fine one-shot but as a series it's too weak for the long run.

In general I think her work has a lot of flaws (frequently getting too melodramatic, literally everyone is gay, a lot of sameface, etc), but still ends up being probably my favorite girls-kissing manga writer/artist, I think largely because she gets a ton of mileage out of how she draws eyes. It's the expressiveness of the eyes that is really what gets me. Edit: She also seems to have more than a little bit of a thing for boobs, considering how frequently they're pointed out. chumbler fucked around with this message at 08:44 on Nov 10, 2014 |

It's the expressiveness of the eyes that is really what gets me. IDK yuri could be posted here and I read the one shot. I did find it funny how no one ever made much of a comment about everyone being gay by coincidence at a all girl's school. The manga-ka I've read for similar stories but older cast would be Amano Shuninta. It's rare to read BL/GL which doesn't feel creepy for one way or another.

And going kind of back to it, I recently discovered a fairly heartwarming series called Miss Sunflower about a bookstore owner befriending one of her High School girl customers. I don't think it's really going to go too seriously down the romance path (it seems to be more about the bonds she makes with everyone in the neighborhood), but the tone definitely fits more in here than say the Seinen/Shounen threads. Anyway it has pretty nice art and has a pretty relaxed/chill sort of atmosphere. Had to post the scanlator's actual reader because they seem to be one of those groups that gets pissy about other sites hosting them.

Anyone else hate it when the Main Guy/Love interest is a jerk to the MC for 60% of their interactions and they still get together at the end  ? I'd been reading one of the old shoujo series which got picked up after um, 1-3 years? And I read the raws after and now IDK if I want to read it to the end anymore in ENG. It got better then I'm guess it was axed because all sudden the MC does some extremely bizarre actions in the last 1-3 chapters. Oh well, I'll just stick to josei then.
