Reading Angel Densetsu (or one chapter in particular) it's obvious Claymore started as an excuse to draw awesome monster designs.

ZepiaEltnamOberon posted:Chapter 24 of Sakamoto-kun is the final chapter. Aww. Was he needed back on his homeworld? Today is a good day for SDL manga. Dagashi Kashi has no Hotaru today, however it's worth it for the sudden obsession with that ball-and-cup game. Takkeo-Chan brings in a new character, a yokai hunter who kind of reminds me of Seiichiro Kitano from Legend of an Angel, mixed with a good helping of the dumb-yet-honest fellow from Love Roma (a good manga, you guys should read it!) And finally another chapter of that maid-dragon manga someone linked once -- I think it was Captain Invictus? I'm missing Seki-Kun, though. I hope someone picks it up, or the group gets back to scanlating it!

I've been lax! I haven't posted all the neat stuff that've been uploaded since Christmas! Does anyone even follow Saiki Kusuo besides me?? PSI Saiki Kusuo - He hates Christmas! Flying Witch! The translation of the country accents is baffling until you read the note at the end where the translator said he tried to make them Scottish. KURO Dagashi Kashi - Wow, I kind of want to try this thing. Japan has such interesting, strange snacks!

I've got a new one for you guys. It's about a girl with a neck problem. It's cute, it's sweet, it's a little bit odd, it's-- She is a Rokurokubi* *Long-necked Yokai I like how everyone, including her, treats it as a matter of course. It's no big thing!!!

Saiki vs. the World. I think that scanlators ignore it because it doesn't have moé girls flashing their panties.

Saiki got three movies, but he removed them from your mind because he was animated by Gonzo. Due to some poor life decisions on my part (all of it) I haven't actually been able to read much manga lately. I'm trying to make up for it by occasionally drowning the chat thread in Sayman drawings, but it's just not the same. On the bright side, I did just find this so I figured I'd share the good stuff: http://bato.to/reader#a031e0e312096edc e: Wait, we are still the unofficial Dowman megathread, aren't we?

a kitten posted:Yes, because it's being published in English. Yes! Imagine my surprise when, at Barnes & Noble, I saw a few slim volumes of Seki-kun (up to volume 5 I believe) on the shelves. I resolved to purchase a few as a sign of support and to enjoy!

I hope this thread will become as good at getting things published as it is at spawning new threads. DrSunshine posted:You can post it here, it's not a very active thread! There used to be a Dowman megathread but it died due to lack of frequent updates. Yeah, and aside from what I posted, I don't think there's been much output since Hana & Alice finished, so that's not changing anytime soon. I'm pretty much just saving character sketches from his twitter these past few months. That said, maybe he's just been really busy with planning his fun trip abroad! Dowman Sayman's Twitter posted:

I read all of Flying Witch over the last couple days and it's super cute and relaxing. Thanks thread. Since I've run out of Flying Witch, I started on Dead Dead Demon's DeDeDeDeDestruction. I suppose it counts as surreal daily life? In any case, it's really fantastic so far.

Incidentally I really need to read Asano's other things. I've heard Punpun was good, but that it was also kind of sad or depressing, and I'm not in a mood for that. How's Solanin?

# ? Jan 20, 2016 05:37 |

Solanin is great, however it does deal with loss and grief so it might not be what you're looking for right now. And, unlike a lot of his other stuff, it doesn't have any odd or otherworldly twists to it. Nijigahara Holograph is also fantastic, and definitely has some Weird poo poo going on, but is very emotionally heavy . Both are easily purchasable. I haven't read Goodnight, Punpun yet, I might grab volume one now that it's out (or coming out soon, I forget) Dude doesn't really do "happy" though.

A chapter of that weird manga about a girl walking to school each day Her action movie-like overreactions (which I imagine like those scenes out of Nichijou) to every single social interaction is hilarious! She's like a hyperactive version of the Watamote girl.

If you feel it's surreal and daily life, post it! Quirky comedies like ULTIMATE CUTIE TROLL MASTER Takagi-San also fit. If it has stuff like a character who's actually a robot, Freddy Mercury, and a gorilla, and people just roll with it like it's no big deal -- it fits! If it's about a ventriloquist with a human-sized puppet of a girl that everyone seems to accept as a high schooler -- it fits!! If it's a heartwarming tale of a girl and her cat and an invasion of Lovecraftian horrors from beyond our dimension, it surely fits! Basically, I exclude Generic Moe 4 Girls Manga #14092. Everything else, if it has actual surreal elements, or is just a strange and quirky daily life comedy, is fair game! EDIT: Speaking of Takagi-San, I just checked out the other manga that the author did, about the guy whose little sister is a jiang-shi. Oh my god. It's so bad. Why does it exist? Why do the freaking scanlators translate that instead of Takagi-san?? Just why?? DrSunshine fucked around with this message at 06:27 on Jan 27, 2016 |
