NAME REDACTED posted:I already read... most of One Outs, and I enjoyed it, even though I went in with a total baseball knowledge of "someone throws a ball at a guy with a bat". Although I remember there being a thing where for some reason a bunch of chapters just don't exist translated online? I think all the chapters have been turned into the anime were never translated. But if you've already read One outs I don't think there really is any good translated gambling stuff left, sorry

NAME REDACTED posted:On a similar note, does anyone have any recommendation for manga similar to Gambling Emperor Legend Zero and Liar game? I'm looking for stuff to read where the story arcs are "protagonist given a challenge or game; after game is over, protagonist explains reasoning". I've also read Gordian Knot and Gamble Fish, for other examples. If anyone knows any series based around heists or cons, I'd also be interested. Usogui: quote:There are gamblers out there who even bet their lives as ante. But to secure the integrity of these life-threatening gambles, a violent and powerful organization by the name of “Kakerou” referees these games as a neutral party. Follow Baku Madarame a.k.a. Usogui (The Lie Eater) as he gambles against maniacal opponents at games – such as Escape the Abandoned Building, Old Maid, and Hangman – to ultimately “out-gamble” and control the neutral organization of Kakerou itself. Kurosagi: quote:White swindlers (shirosagi) are those that cheat people to take their money, red swindlers (akasagi) are those that swindle the opposite sex, and black swindlers (kurosagi) are those that cheat the white and red swindlers. After his family is swindled by white swindlers, Kurosagi sets out to avenge them by becoming a black swindler. I've only read part of Usogui and it was alright, but I'm not super big into gambling manga so I can't really compare it quality-wise to anything else. I like Kurosagi quite a bit though. Each con gets 2-3 chapters or so, kind of a con-of-the-week format and there's a bit of an overarching plot that weaves through the whole thing. There's a considerable amount of detail explaining each con or scam, both on the villain side and what the protagonist is doing.

Desuwa posted:I went and read what's translated of this because I like those kinds of escapist premises. I have a high tolerance for the creepy/gross bits but the later volumes borders on being erotic novels, even if only very softcore ones, and it pushed past the limits of what I can stand without being put off. It's a shame because the first couple of volumes, which kept it to a minimum, were really quite fun. I like how the 'Turning Point #' chapters are all legit unexpected events that drastically alter the course of the story though. If you haven't found it already, the stuff not translated on Baka-tsuki (including most of volume 20) has been translated here.

You're right it never gets back to "jerking off to child porn of your niece during your parents' funeral" levels of creepy but there is a lot of general groping and panty jokes that would be dumb gags in anime and come off extra stupid in a novel, and throughout the whole series rape is generally treated as a trivial "oh he shouldn't have done that" kind of thing. The entertaining parts actually are pretty decent though, I just wish the owner didn't feel the need to inject so much bad ecchi humor and treat women like objects.

Scanalators' release paces can vary widely based on assorted factors, and some are just slower than others. It's a hobby after all. In fact, looking at their release dates on Mangaupdates, a few months between releases isn't unheard for them. Plus there're good odds it's a monthly series anyway.

Everything Burrito posted:Shibatora is about a baby-faced cop who goes undercover as a high school kid, it has a pretty good balance of lightheartedness and drama from what I remember. Finally finished this last night; really enjoyed it. The premise sounds like some terrible retread of 21 Jump Street, but I felt it probably had more in common with GTO than anything else.

Just started reading Usogui and it's pretty good. It's a gambling manga at its heart but you can really tell the author loves drawing fight scenes because there are quite a few and they all own. The art is pretty great too.

I think said poster was more commenting on attire and fighting style rather than describing them as actual persians and turks.

Are you guys reading Dr. Hitomi's Infirmary? Let me quote the great venerable captain:Captain Invictus posted:Dr. Hitomi's Infirmary is about a cyclopean school nurse in a world of monster-people. Teachers include a four-armed dude, Basically Chewbacca, a plant-girl, and a woman who has control of her hair. I think you guys should read it, or at least the latest chapter, because it deals with an interesting problem: a girl turning, literally, two dimensional:

New Bambino and surprise! It's actually not terrible until the last 2 pages. Tsuchi straight up admits he forged the results, then calls Ban out on the sheer stupidity of the contest, pointing out the entire "challenge" was just about Ban's ego, since Ban repeatedly failed to do his job right as the original by confronting Tsuchi about his cooking, and telling the manager they needed to let him go. Tsuchi admits he doesn't know who truly won and goads Ban to find out, then when Ban gets all aggressive like usual he just chucks the box with the votes in the water. Then...yeah it gets real stupid. Apparently Tsuchi is full on crazy? He's worked at previous restaurants where he's been criticized for his lack of taste, possibly fired, again how the gently caress did this guy get hired at a top tier Italian restaurant, then stabs Ban with his keys and promises to "get rid of him too It's even worse that for a brief moment the past 20 chapters of Ban behaving like a moron is highlighted, and how irrelevant to the restaurant the cooking contest was, before back to crazytown. I'm just hoping down the road the manager flat out tells Ban "Look, we pulled you from the kitchen because you couldn't manage your team and end up fighting someone who argued with you. The sala thing was just an excuse"

Haha that is real loving dumb, but I'll take outright fighting and actual character conflict over the dumb self-deprecation Ban was piling on himself, thinking he was somehow at fault. It's some kind of progression anyway/ Like yeah, this isn't the best way to confront someone legitimately crazy but hey now the cats out of the bag! I doubt it'll get wrapped up neatly with the dude being arrested for assault, but drat that would own.

Update on the Kaiji situation.FKMTKrazy posted:I don't think it would be right to just pretend the discussion in the comments last post didn't happen, so I guess I'll address it. The reason why I implied I wanted to focus on Akagi more than Kaiji is for several reasons, but most importantly because I just feel like Akagi is a better read per-chapter at the moment. Those of you who don't get mahjong probably can't see how, but I feel that, even though both series are going at roughly the same pace at the moment, Kaiji is just focusing solely on hitting home one idea really really hard while managing to throw hooks in an the end, while in Akagi there's a new development every chapter that they analyze a ton.
