DrSunshine posted:I don't read enough Shoujo manga, but one thing I do like is trash-talking, fighting delinquents with hearts of gold, and I just started reading Hana no Asukagumi. It certainly delivers this. Asuka is pretty badass. This is awesome. It's a shame the 27 (!) volumes that are apparently out there will likely never be fully translated. Not to mention a sequel and what looks like a prequel. A drat shame.

Kusaru posted:Is 35 the most recent? I didn't realize how far behind I was, so I got to read about 5 new chapters today. For anyone interested, volume 3 is going for $6.88 on Amazon right now (it's licensed as Bunny Drop [sorry if that's really obvious]). Thanks for this. Single dad mangas really are the best mangas.

Mura posted:I just started reading Hiyokoi. I'm like about halfway through, but it's giving a lot of Kimi ni Todoke vibes. I don't think it's on that same level, but I think it's still worth giving a read. This is indeed really cute. I really hate reading unfinished romance shoujo, though. It always feels as though I run out of chapters right at "the good part."

I really, really like Taiyou no Ie. It's so cute, and drawn to match. I'm always a sucker for shoujo that's as much about family as romance. I made myself late for work this morning reading that latest chapter.

Fruits Basket certainly deserves a mention, and Bonnouji is just fantastically chill, but I'd definitely put Taiyou no Ie in any new OP. It's definitely my favorite currently-running shoujo manga.

Natsume Yuujinchou is about people (loosely defined) being nice to each other and having everything work out nicely. Natsume himself absolutely develops as a character, but, much like with Mushishi or Mononoke, he's mostly the vehicle through which we're told the stories of those around him. I love it. VVVVVV I love how polite Natsume is to Nyanko-sensei in the anime. He seems like half-pet in the manga, but anime Natsume sincerely treats him like a respected teacher (most of the time).

SennyYak posted:New chapter of Ore Monogatari! I somehow wasn't aware of this manga, but reading the page this spoiler references convinced me to rectify that. The first time I saw it, though (perhaps because of a lack of context), I had forgotten that dying can be a euphemism for orgasming in Japanese. Oh my. No wonder the friends' exaggerated reactions.

I probably originally heard about from this thread, but I just found that I had the Hotarubi no Mori e movie downloaded and gave it a watch. It was delightful, if melancholy. I don't mind sad endings, though, so that didn't hinder my enjoyment of it. I loved the Natsume Yuujinchou feeling of it. Gin's voice sounded so much like Natsume's that I had to check twice to make certain it wasn't the same guy. I highly recommend y'all give it a watch.

I hope it's only the beginning of a new life for them and this isn't the beginning of the epilogue, but we'll see. It's adorable and so far, this series has been absolutely outstanding, funny, cute, and with some great drama too. poo poo's getting penultimate up in here.

L-O-N posted:Are there any romance manga/anime where the main character ends up with someone other than the first guy/girl(aka "destiny person") they see? If harem counts as romance, Ichigo 100% does this. It's not a good manga, though. My only excuse for reading it is youth. Oh, and the Shuffle! anime. But again, harem, not all that good (better, though). edit: spoiler tags, why not Yes_Cantaloupe fucked around with this message at 05:25 on Aug 8, 2014 |

After becoming aware that What Did You Eat Yesterday? was licensed, I picked up the first volume today. I enjoy it as much as I remember, and the English version seems solid. I wouldn't mind a few notes on Japanese cooking in back, but I understand that it's not really trying to be a primer on Japanese cooking for westerners. I've read plenty of yuri and straight romance stuff, but this is pretty much the only BL/yaoi stuff I've ever gotten into. I think it's been asked before, but is there anything else out there that's A) good, B) not rape-y, and preferably C) involving adults? I suppose I'd prefer D) less explicit, but that's secondary to A-C.

I've only read the first few volumes, but Red River is really good and fits your criteria. The premise is pretty similar to Fushigi Yuugi but executed much better with a much more likeable protagonist.

pandabear posted:The latest chapter of Last Game is out. I like Last Game. It makes me feel feelings. That said, I feel you, friend. OTOH, it's all cute enough that personally am not going to be giving up on it any time soon. I think it might be my favorite ongoing shoujo now that Taiyou no Ie has ended, although it's too late for me to think of more than a handful of others that I'm following.

Stretch is always cute. Even short chapters are eagerly devoured. I think my favorite part of their developing relationship (?) is how Keiko begins stretching on her own without Ran around.
