There's been a half dozen or so new Suicide Island chapters uploaded to kissmanga in the last few days. Things are not going well. Not at all. I am fairly dreading the next chapter.

Squidster posted:I've been reading Immortal Hounds and enjoying it, and then someone recommended Aijn to me on the grounds that it has a very similar premise. How can such similar concepts end up with such varying degrees of quality? Immortal Hounds isn't perfect, but Aijn is just really, really terrible. I believe aijn had a change of authors midway through. Agreed with your sentiments and also recommend Immortal Hounds.

Yeah, the artist became the author several chapters in and... he's not really very good at it. Didn't take much for me to jump ship, though--from the beginning it only interested me a little. Honestly I would rather have Immortal Hounds on Crunchyroll than Aijn.

New The Town Only I Don't Live In. She's been rescued...but she's going to die still, because the murderer is the teacher, I bet. Certainly couldn't have been a more ominous ending to that chapter, anyways.

Actually I'm pretty bad at decent mysteries but this one seems pretty telegraphed

I've thought it ever since the story introduced him since he fit the role so it may be a bit too obvious.

jackofarcades posted:My year of watching Scooby Doo have convinced me you're right. I heard a pretty convincing counterargument, what with the murderer apparently being the mother's boyfriend, and him and the teacher being in different places at the same time. Still, the manga's story revolves around at least one supernatural power, I don't see why there can't be a second one held by the antagonist. Edit: having actually read the last chapter, I'm now eating my words. Its been pretty heavily hinted at that the teacher was the killer for a while now, but I was convinced it was a red herring. Unless the (apparent) boyfriend isn't the same person that's been off-panel in a few other ominous scenes, it looks like he's just an abusive rear end in a top hat rather than a serial killer.

Then I read the message on the side and my heart sank. I just want a happy ending. It's tough thinking that the teacher is probably the murderer. I just don't want Kayo to die anymore. The series certainly is a page turner, but the time travel gimmick is frustrating in the way it's used. The author knows when it's the most heartbreaking moment to apply it and I don't know if that's a good thing or not. Mad Lupine fucked around with this message at 07:33 on Jun 29, 2014 |

Anatharon posted:Where did they get paint and gas on a deserted island? He says he collected the gas from abandoned vehicles around the island. Gasoline has an effective shelf life of only a handful of years, but that's only if you're planning on using it to run an engine. If you're just lighting it on fire I'm sure it'd still be functional. Then again, there was also another Lord of the Flies situation a while back (the guy the MC got his dog from is remnant from that era). I guess if that group just killed each other instead of banding together they might not've gotten to the point of trying to scavenge things from the island.

Speaking of Suicide Island, I started reading Destroy and Revolution by the same guy. I like how the protagonist admits he's just doing it because he's mad and has no particular agenda of his own.  It's all a metaphor for homosexuality, isn't it?! e: Wow does it ever get crazy. Cuntellectual fucked around with this message at 09:46 on Jun 29, 2014 |

Got your newest chapters of 6000 Got your new chapters of Suicide Island I was out of the loop, both have had a few chapters added since I last checked. I don't recall seeing any Suicide Island or 6000 links in the thread, anyway.

Just caught up on my backlog of seinen and I really just absolutely and thoroughly have to recommend Suicide Island and The Town Where Only I Am Missing (or whichever variation you want). Seriously. If you have a spare half hour, read the starting bits of these series.

Suicide Island/Destroy and Revolution both are pretty good, though the former is much better. I can't help but wonder if there's a plan for how it'll end, though. Also, anyone who searches the "Smut" tag on Batato and ends up with Suicide Island will probably be dissapointed.

SALT CURES HAM posted:So I decided to read All You Need Is Kill after seeing Edge of Tomorrow and thinking it was awesome as hell, and uh Is there really only 17 chapters? Anyways i finally caught up to Gate - Thus the JSDF Fought There!, and  that manga has fallen apart fast. The interesting aspect of a modern day civilization interacting with a fantasy one, and the weirdness that comes with it has kind of running out. I don't understand Apparently the Empire took slaves from Japan when they invaded. They found one and rescued her from the evil prince. So then the JSDF just bombs the poo poo out of the capital  why? It just seems so utterly out of character for them. So then apparently the Elf girl has gone crazy and thinks the main character is her dad? But her dad has apparently been dead all along? So those times when he talked with the MC was just a figment of her imagination? is going on. I can't tell if the translation is terrible, because what the gently caress kind of relationship did the elf have with her father. She is sleeping naked with the MC? I am really confused.

God, I kind of hate myself that I know enough about Gate to answer these. Like I really wanted to enjoy it because of that intersection of modern era and medieval fantasy, but the story is just so bad (I actually gave up around the events of your first question). 1. Its just the author fantasizing about how great japan's military is. Actually this is the entire story. 2. Her dad died from that dragon way back when she was introduced. Also you're probably thinking of that old man who is the female mage's teacher. And as a reminder, the elf has been doing weird stuff for a bit, like ordering food for two people and picking out souvenirs for her dad on trips.

vkeios posted:1. Its just the author fantasizing about how great japan's military is. Actually this is the entire story. The series is literally "Japan's awesome military might on parade", which makes no sense because somehow Japan built up a massive military force to conquer and hold the Gate on both sides, the rest of the world is desperately envious of this and tries to kidnap Gate people but are effortless beaten back by the JSDF, and the Japanese political opposition tries their best to humiliate Japan's military and disparage all related programs/operations tied to the Gate/military. It's just strawman after strawman mixed with big titty fantasy females and the 2000 year old demigod with the body of a child.

The story is really bad, i think the highlight was when they blaze ride of the valkyries and ride in on helicopters and just bomb the poo poo out of those raiders on horseback.  I liked the initial premise, and i don't really mind the circlejerking about the JSDF. I did however enjoy the idea of a modern day society interacting with a fantasy world. One of my favourite parts is when the that Empire nobleman gets to fire the machine gun and at that moment he completely and utterly realizes how outclassed they are in almost every respect. The only way i can see gate ending is our MC realizes everyone is evil including Japan. To prevent the US and other baddies from invading the gate world he and his band of plucky followers shut the gate. Leaving our MC to live happily ever after on the gate side, while the empire is ruled by princess Pina Colada ( kind of name is that).

Even Tom Clancy's terrible American military wank fiction will usually have the barest fig leaf in the form of an international team. They'll be lead by Americans and all the main heroes will be American, but still there's at least a nod towards the rest of the world.

My favorite part is where US Special Forces attack a hot springs, and noble Japanese troops easily take them out and determine that they're American because there's no other country with black people in their military. Also I unironically enjoy that in the fantasy world, there's stories of the magical spell "back blast clear." Someone please make a Gate spinoff thats just a dude in a bar hearing all these rumors; I'd probably read that.
