The whole thing is going to be published in English. Volume 11 of Dorohedoro comes out Tuesday. There's a new chapter of Nobunaga's Chef. It's got some great dramatic panels. http://www.batoto.net/read/_/212011/nobunaga-no-chef_v7_ch56_by_supreme-cream-scanlations

Hah, reading the new AIKI-S chapter suddenly made me picture Joukyuu appearing in Liar Game. http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Aiki-S/Ch-004-Read-Online?id=181857 Anyone read Space Brothers/Uchuu Kyoudai? I've been giving it a try, I guess it's okay. Seems pretty light and forgettable, but I guess it is mainly intended as slice of life/comedy. It just doesn't feel like any real dramatic obstacles have actually been posted to be overcome and it's kind of lacking any tension or depth or reason to keep reading. I mean, yeah, the protagonist gets nervous sometimes but mostly it's just like YEAH YOU'RE AN ASTRONAUT NOW and YEAH WE'RE ON THE MOON NOW. Nothing interesting for the characters to overcome or deal with yet, but I guess I'll keep reading. It would be good to find some solid space Seinen, Planetes was cool and I swear I remember another "astronauts in training" manga (with younger protagonists) being thrown around these parts but maybe it stopped being scanned and uploaded.

Yo seinen guys and gals, even if you aren't already following along with the Satoshi Mizukami Thread I strongly recommend checking out Spirit Circle. It's been crazy good so far and I partly worry that ironically it's been marooned in my own thread.

http://www.batoto.net/comic/_/comics/sakamoto-desu-ga-r8496 Sakamoto is that guy. The one who is ~so stylish~. You're probably picturing a stuck-up smug jerk archetype, but instead Sakamoto takes the character type to its absurd conclusion by just being this zen-like entity of pure   . Very entertaining so far.

So I don't get Biomega's ending fully. The only part I didn't get is why was Mr.Badass Bear able to stop the second recreation, and why was his wish the one that got picked when the Earth got recreated the first time. Everything else I got a pretty good understanding...Well except the part where "Kozolov appeared on horse back in human form; as in was that just Eon Green's wishful thinking? Well I actually liked Biomega a tiny bit more than Blame! Blame! was good but I felt it got dragged on a bit at the start, but once Blame got to the 3rd volume, things got pretty awesome.

The gist of it is all the main characters are constantly reincarnating for some unknown reason, all in relations to each other, but varying each time they reincarnate. They vaguely remember their past lives in dreams. I would say it's a pretty infuriating series in a good way, the Knight storyline was so incredibly good. Like seriously, blew my mind how solid that whole thing was. The current high school-era reincarnation is trying to understand what happened in the past, and hopefully save the girl from the crippling and all-consuming hatred she has felt throughout all of their histories. It can get pretty maddening thanks to really loving unjust scenarios, events, and characters, but that's half the reason it's so good. Spirit Circle is really fantastic and I wish it was a weekly series.

Honestly don't think about it too hard, Biomega didn't make much sense near the end and I suspect was cancelled. Sidonia is way better, even though it doesn't have motorcycles (yet).

Ok seriously y'all need to read Kiichi right now. It's maybe the best manga being translated into English at the moment. http://www.batoto.net/read/_/212364/kiichi_v2_ch16_by_gantz-waitingroom Also everybody should be reading Kingdom. http://www.batoto.net/comic/_/comics/kingdom-r642 Millions of years have passed since the times of legends, when the worlds of man and gods were still the same. In these times it was the desires of man that moved the world. It is the era of the 500 year war: The warring states period. Kingdom is the story of a young boy named Xin who grew into a great general and all the trials and bloodshed that lead him there.

The main reason is how he's able to portray such raw emotional out porings almost effortlessly. Also the openness of the scenes where he lets outside events momentarily override what's going along like in the first chapter when the mother conversation gets drowned out by a passing campaign van. It's a lot like a really good art film.

Pierson posted:Also apparently Dorohedoro is finished and just not scanlated? We should totally make a thread if we ever get the rest. I'm re-reading it and just got to the part where Risu is meeting the rest of the Cross-Eyes in the 'abandoned' house, complete with dramatic darkened faces and shadows. Then it turns out it's because they can't afford electricity and the first thing they do is rush to get to the scrappaper merchant. Such a great comic. Where did find this out? Google can't seem to help me.

Find out what? That it's finished? The translations were on a long hiatus for a while so it's pretty likely it's already finished. The end of the recently scanlated Vol 18 also explicitly says "The story ends with the next volume". Or maybe the beginning of 19 said it was the last one, either or. The first few chapters of Vol 19 are already scanlated, so we're missing like a handful of chapters, tops. /edit: Here, end of Vol. 18:

Does anyone know of any other series by the same author? I'm really dreading the end of Dorohedoro; it's probably the best bizarre/fantasy manga I've ever read. Even though most of the big mysteries have been resolved, it's still hard to believe that it'll come to a satisfying end in just one more volume. But I guess it's better to end while it's still good than for it to drag on.

Blog Free or Die posted:Maken X should be next on your list. Ah, thanks! One thing that I find interesting about Dorohedoro is that it somehow manages to create a huge cast of characters that are simultaneously both likable and completely awful people*. I have no clue who to root for in the various conflicts that show up in the series. Probably the best examples of this are Shin and Noi. They're seriously terrible people who do incredibly bad things, but you still grow attached to them. *Seriously. Pretty much the only characters I can think of who don't either actively commit various atrocities or hold abhorrent opinions are Thirteen and the doctor's assistant guy with the weird facial tattoos. edit: Maybe also the people who work at the meat pie shop in the magic world, they seemed alright.

Finished Rock'n'Roll Ricky last night. Thought it was OK. The main threads of boxing and fatherhood work well, yet I didn't get much of a feel for most of the other characters aside from Ricky himself. It was nice to actually finish a manga rather than read up until a translated point and then have to wait indefinitely, though.

A better way to put it might be that it woke up from the coma it was in, but it's paralyzed from the waist down and can only communicate in blinks. What I mean is that it only updates every two months with a chapter shorter than most of Weekly Shounen Jump's offerings.

I've been reading this series Yamikin Ushijima-kun about a loan shark (yamikin) named Ushijima. It's incredibly dark/depressing but also pretty good and worth reading. I definitely recommend it, but only if you're okay with reading something that isn't even remotely uplifting.

Ushijima-kun will make you rethink your life choices, but it's really good. Also it does get a bit lighter later on, though I don't think scanlations are even close to reaching that point. And by lighter I just mean "the schlubs Ushijima goes after don't end their arc strapped naked to a tree in the woods."

Some of the content hits a little close to home for me, and I can say that it does a really good job of presenting the motivations that drive someone to go to a payday/title loan place and their emotional state during/after. I'm assuming that it will go into Ushijima's past at some point. From what we've seen, I'm guessing that he had parents who he hated (either because they abused him or some other reason) who were themselves the victims of loan sharks, leading him to project his feelings for his parents onto all of his debtors. I'm also curious about all the rabbits in his apartment.
