Nate RFB posted:OK that just made me exceptionally angry. It's the worst type of drama because it could be resolved so quickly and never is because the character(s) in question are stubborn and/or don't want to "worry" others. Well good job on that last point. Yeah, I agree. While worrying about how her mom might be alone like her, she's making others worry about her again by not being open about what just happened, but they're worried anyways. LOGIC. jackofarcades posted:She probably just doesn't want to say out loud that she doesn't want to live with her mom This makes sense though.

Another chapter of Kakukaku Shikajika! Sensei continues to be pretty great, so hearing all these regrets is pretty painful, especially since I'm sure we've all been there.  I've never read anything by Akihito Yoshitomi but his first series, Eat-man, is fully translated for anyone who's curious. Dude's also done a bunch of yuri, which I'm not that familiar with so can't say much about it.

Kimi ni Todoke 92 Please just break up already, this whole plot line has been dreadfully dull. Super pretty cover page at least.

I just binged on this. Holy gently caress I feel really emotional over someone's autobiographical manga. Just goddamn. I need this localized in Korea asap so I can buy this.

In case anyone missed this being posted in the Summer thread:darkgray posted:Anyone still remember Kuragehime? Welp. It actually looks pretty good and the casting seems to be almost eerily spot-on. Maybe that means they'll do a movie (or series!) based on Kakukaku Shikajika next. You never know, I guess. a kitten fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Aug 22, 2014 |

The same person who made Kurenai Ouji made this: Kokoro Kimiiro Sakura Iro. The main premise is that a boy had claimed that a girl, who's his childhood friend, is going to become his bride and all the embarassment following from that. While this can easily be super creepy, I think it's not, because it's very obvious that the girl also liked the boy and not currently reciprocating his affections because she didn't process it yet. Or could be that the boy is finally breaking through her defenses. The art is super cute though!!! It's pretty light-hearted so far and I really hope it won't be super creepy! I am a bit weirded out that there are romance between the boy's siblings and the girl's siblings, to be honest. Nothing creepy, just...odd.

It's pretty cute, I think.

It's the best, as Cooking Papa would say. There's something about her art that feels natural and fresh, and I love the realism of her recollections. I feel like a poo poo for not being more dedicated to my dreams, though. The whole bit a couple of chapters ago about her working fulltime, doing a series, and helping out at the art class really struck me, especially since she goes on to say that it wasn't that much work in hindsight. I work exactly 7.5hrs a day at an easy job, come home, and find excuses not to be creative until it's time to fall asleep.

A new chapter of Horimiya came out, although it's shorter than normal. Maybe an extra? It's always nice to have a look at the side characters once in awhile, even though I only remember one of them.

It's am autobiographical manga about her life. It's pretty different in tone as well. There's a lot of regret throughout the manga. Still funny with her humor but the tone I found to be much more sombre despite the silly stuff she gets into

Nate RFB posted:How likely is it that someone would enjoy Kakukaku Shikajika if they didn't really care for Kuragehime? I'd say pretty likely since they aim for different things. Since Kakukaku Shikajika is a autobiography, it's a lot more relatable than Kuragehime was.

Nate RFB posted:How likely is it that someone would enjoy Kakukaku Shikajika if they didn't really care for Kuragehime? I'd say fairly likely, they're not very similar. So, unless you didn't like Kuragehime specifically because of her artwork I guess, you should give it a shot.

Just started on Kakukaku Shikajika. Really enjoying it, she does a good job of making you share her regrets. I doubt there's any semblance of a happy ending other than that she's successful now!

For some reason it makes me feel like he killed himself, I mean I've been feeling like him "dying" has been one of the biggest fakeouts of this manga what with how heavily it foreshadows it(yes I know it's an autobiographical story), but maybe he actually did die, and maybe in a way absolutely nobody expected.

It's amazing to me that this is the same mangaka as Aozora Yell, which is just a completely humorless and earnest high school sports/band manga.

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.
