So if I have things correct, the thread's top 5 picks are, in no particular order:

  • Sumire
  • Seki-kun
  • Angel Densetsu
  • Centaur's Worries
  • Midori Days

With Hinamatsuri, being a comic with its own thread, as an unranked sixth.

Is that good?

That's a list that I can get behind. Man, I think 90% of my new pickups have come from this thread.

Oh shoot. Voynich is pretty neat! I think Midori Days got more votes, overall, than Voynich, though Voynich scored higher on the rankings.

...I don't know how to score such polls! :(

Hell, let's make it a top six, then.

  • Sumire
  • Seki-kun
  • Voynich
  • Centaur's Worries
  • Midori Days
  • Angel Densetsu

Agreed? If so, I'll get to updating the OP! :)

I don't think you should get too hung up on some specific number. The important thing is that people get introduced to cool manga. And I think just about everything recommended in the thread qualifies. If you think things might be too cluttered maybe only do full write-ups and images for the top five or so and a longer list of just text and a quick description for the rest.

Please consider making mention of Dowman's Nickelodeon series in your Voynich Hotel writeup. I think his short stories are absolutely amazing and thinking about it, one-chapter-long glimpses into a character's life is pretty slice-of-life.

Just include Dowman as his own category. Dude is a weird and brilliant pervert.

I'd second the Dowman category. I have yet to read anything by him that I didn't like in one way or another. Sometimes it's grim, other times it's heartwarming, and it's often both.

Plus, his art's really soft on the eyes.

Just found this:

Wanko Number One

The story about your typical anime guy who after being dumped by her girlfriend by useless starts seeing the puppy he bought her as gift as a high school girl, but it only happens when is on his apartment; on the outside and for everyone else Wanko is a puppy.






Really cute and entertaining :allears:

I doubt it, but that kind of idea made the chapter in which Wanko is taken to the vet, hilarious :haw:

Oh almost forgot, is run on the same app(?) where Spoof on Titan is run and it seems to have an english version available, there is on chapter 11 while Mangahere only have until chapter 9

Hey this is a nice find. Like Blhue says, hopefully it stays (as) innocent (as it can be).

Also, it's really rare that I get to say this, but I've got to give respect to the translator for doing such a great job. It's superbly done; the language sounds completely natural, and I can definitely get behind "Man's Bestest Friend". That's the kind of outside-the-box thinking I only wish I could pull off.

The art style is very cute, but it feels vaguely like Morally Inept fanfiction. Sexy dog-bathing antics, ex-gf on dog groping - it feels like its going to a strange place.

Also the app is terrible.

Hard to tell, I'm hopeful than it will remain a cute slice of life since it constantly points than Wanko is a dog (and the lastest chapter was all about dog hijinks).

I have to admit than I though it was some kind of fanservice pandering bullshit but I was pleasently surprised when I read it, really worth of being followed and yes, the app sucks but you can found it on other places.

On Android, if you're viewing the most recent issue, you can tap on the top right to view previous chapters. But it doesn't have the first four chapters of dog-bothering on there, and sometimes you'll try to flip to the next page and get taken to some random manga instead.

Even the app doesn't have back issues past a certain date. You can see how each issue has an "available until *date*" tag on it. Unless I'm missing something past even that.

The Digest section has more of the older chapters.

And since it's a magazine they are going to sell them eventually. You know like every other magazine does.

After fiddling with it a bit, I found the chapter select on iOS. Seems to be where Squidster said it is on android; The top right has a button that brings up a menu and "Read another eipsode" is the last option. Typo and all.

Alright, so apparently my first experience with the app about a week ago I caught them at a bad time, because there had definitely been a gap between the digest and the currently available issues that doesn't seem to be there now, and that's what I was basing my complaints on. I checked again and the digest seems to have been updated so no more complaints from me.
