I have been holding off because I don't want to start reading until I know that the current stopping point is a positive one, because drat that series can hit some serious emotional lows, and I don't want to be sitting on that for a week or however long.

Its at a more positive note right now. I'm sure there will be a lot more drama yet though.

That sounds interesting but is the art like that consistently? It's not terrible but I can't help but be weirded out by the noses.kidcoelacanth posted:Oh god why did I start reading that I took a look at it anyways. Ouch.

Oh! More chapters of that have come out? Great! The author is such a great storyteller. Man, though, it works the tragedy angle something fierce -- on par with a Korean manhwa!

Popehoist posted:Koe no Katachi is an adorable yet hard-hitting manga about a deaf girl. It's pretty different from my own experiences, but I went to a special school for the deaf in America. I'll say that it gets a lot of little details right and I didn't notice any glaring inaccuracies that couldn't be attributed to the differences I already noted (the only bullying I got was from other deaf kids, heh, and it was pretty light). And, yeah, it gets pretty unpleasant, though nothing worse than what I've seen in some other Japanese high school manga--apparently the bullying problem is grim enough for it to be a frequent theme. She's sweeter than I would be in those circumstances. And it really is pretty well written.

 This is Gundam Sousei, a fictionalized retelling of the saga to create Mobile Suit Gundam, starring Yoshiyuki Tomino, the biggest badass to ever grace the land.

Read Hayate x Blade. I could really just post drat near any page of it. Brief summary: Its chapter titles should indicate its genre: idiots being morons and doing stupid poo poo, which is objectively the best genre. It is near constant slapstick, sight gags, running jokes, and making fun of yuri and battle mangas. There are a ton of characters and every single one is loving rad. chumbler fucked around with this message at 14:27 on Oct 29, 2013 |

chumbler posted:Read Hayate x Blade. I could really just post drat near any page of it. I'll vouch for this. I'm a fan of anything done by Shizuru Hayashiya. The yuri parodies probably comes from her experience working in the genre (though Hayate x Blade isn't yuri itself, it just makes jokes about it). Also, unlike a number of images posted in this thread, that's highly representative of the whole manga. Really, chumbler wasn't kidding when they said they could post drat near any page of it. One thing I like is that even the antagonists're pretty rad.

I do believe this is already updating again. Sinking Ship posted:
This one was cancelled a while back and it really didn't get the ending it deserved. Sinking Ship posted:
Not novel, but fun enough. I think I too will post content. Call it a whim. ...so now I am having a hard time remembering what's been posted before in this thread, or even what I've posted before. Well, I don't think any of these have been posted in the few pages.  A Lollipop or a Bullet is or is close to wrapping up, I think. It's a short piece that is about children, and various horrible things that happen to them.  So, Japan Tengu Party Illustrated is a four-volume work from aaaaall the way back in 1995, apparently. Have you ever asked yourself, what is a tengu? What does a tengu mean? No, me neither, but this was really great anyway.  I think your ability to enjoy Knights of Sidonia depends largely on whether you can keep from giggling when you see the "placenta" repeated ad nauseum. Watching Tsutomu Nihei work through basic shounen tropes is a surreal experience.  Annarasumanara is both Korean and very pretty. It is about a young lady who is poor. Do you believe in magic?  Man. I seem to be posting a lot of stuff about horrible things happening to teenagers. What could it mean?!  Swweeet is a favourite of mine: a short two-volume manga about a guy who is not altogether right in the head.  Moral. Cannibalism. Vengeance.

 You're right about Iris Zero having already resumed updates, I just went to check, I need to keep on top of these things better I guess. I can really relate to struggling with not retreading old ground with these recommendations... have this  Ore ga Doutei wo Sutetara Shinu Ken ni Tsuite Time travel story about a guy who is thrown back to his High School self to prevent his own murder 15 years later... I think. It's a bit explicit / fanservicey for my tastes but who can resist a good time travel story right ?

I'd also like to mention that Immortal Hounds is by the same mangaka as Uwagaki, which I posted in this thread ages ago. Sadly I can't reccomend it anymore as scanlators seem to have dropped it, but I found it fascinating and my enjoyment of it is pretty much the sole reason for reccomending his new work.

Captain Invictus posted:This might just be the stupidest thing I've ever read. But I feel that if he is bitter about Devil Blues getting canned, then this makes a lot more sense. A character with such insanely exaggerated assets being reduced to, literally, talking tits and pussy(most of the VP's dialogue balloons point towards one of these two things) and is absolutely never in a scene without some form of absurd fanservice seems extremely cynical to me, let alone the rest of it. Also the fact that the main dude is the only one of the five who isn't just a giant loving goony freak who's totally fine with the Hot Chick abusing him because it means a girl is interacting with him.

Do you have anything citing that it was in fact cancelled? I can see how it's a really crappy ending but would also be what the author chose to do with it. There was clues throughout indicating who it might be and why, and if the ending was serious then it was one of the shown characters. The main character died and the lingering previous plot points were somewhat resolved. Shizuka mentioned "He didn't have much time left" I guess?

Think I remember someone saying the author admitted at some point on twitter that he had ended it because he wrote himself into a corner and couldn't figure out how to write out of it. Also not sure whether I should recommend his newer series, Scumbag Loser, or not. It's complete, but translations only recently started up for it, and it seems kinda Sorta reminds me of Invasion of the Body Snatchers I guess.

Aw, that's just depressing then. The entire thing up until the end was so well done. edit: When was it axed? I doubt the mangaka will ever finish it but who knows, maybe he'll let someone else do it.

That's supposedly the story with HSDK where apparently the author spent his first collection blub bitching about nobody giving a poo poo about his work until he put giant tits and fan service in and how he's now cancellation proof and can tell whatever story he wants as long as he puts in boobs.

 Mirai Nikki. I either really like this manga or I really don't and I still can't figure out which. Also I don't think the creator likes women, the first two introduced are absolutely nuts. This one was my other idea but it's slightly spoiler-y.

Randallteal posted:My Wife is Wagatsuma-san It's really crazy how great a lot of the single pages are and can be posted in this thread. And the reaction faces. This series can get pretty god drat pervy at times but it's got a great premise and seems to be progressing decently. I just got to this page and it made me chortle. It's so god drat stupid and one character in particular is the literal worst and kinda offensive that he even exists, but he's almost never around so it's easy enough to ignore his presence.

But it's a horror series and at least does a good job of being fairly unsettling, especially the last few pages of the most recently translated chapter, so that works for it I guess.
