Is anyone reading Takane to Hana?

http://bato.to/comic/_/comics/takane-to-hana-r15628/

It's one of my least favorite shoujo tropes, with the high school girl and the super rich perfect (though not so much in this series) adult man, but this one is funny as hell and the MC is super awesome. She's definitely not the usual protagonist in these situations.

I'm having more fun with this series than I have had with any new series in a long time.

Yeah it's been pretty funny so far. The protagonist is great and I like how she interacts with the guy. The translation has improved in the latest chapters which is a big plus.

The first episode of this documentary on mangaka features Akiko Higashimura of Kuraghime & Kakukaku Shikajika. (If it was linked before I don't remember it; the English subtitled version only came out a month ago.)

This is amazing, especially after reading Kakukaku Shikajika.

The lady is ridiculously talented.

and cute as heck, just for good measure.

lol the new Takane to Hana


some pretty great faces in this chapter as well and I'm glad it didn't take the obvious joke with the alcohol and have her get drunk accidentally; I liked how that ended up being resolved instead.

Seriously. I have to wonder why they even bother scanlating it if they're going to that much effort to make people buy the official release.

It's a pretty good bet that someone on the forums will archive the releases and upload them to reader sites anyway until the scanners have a meltdown.

Anyone reading Tetsugaku Letra: http://bato.to/comic/_/comics/tetsugaku-letra-r5557

The art is really nice and it's done by a famous manga-ka. It follows a HS boy who exchanges his basketball shoes with a girl for dancing shoes.

Although I like her one-shots but this seems to be one of the rare longer series out :coffee:

I started reading, and then got up to date with Horimiya today. A real good time. I like how multifaceted the characters are, especially in their views and feelings towards others, and the way they get past conflict. I feel like if Miyamura was in another manga he would push his new friends away, but in Horimiya he gets past his insecurities at believable pace, but that doesn't mean he totally forgets his old self/life. Miscommunication is never too drawn out which I appreciate.
