It came up briefly in either this thread or the shounen thread, and reaction was pretty weak. "It's not as reprehensible as it could have been" isn't really a good selling point.

I just stumbled upon Ashizuri Aquarium and read it. I'm not sure if it really fits this thread, but it's pretty drat surreal and weird so linking it here for anyone curious since it's fully translated and only one volume. Best way I can think of describing it is the kid goes somewhere and then things get weird, but that's probably not quite what it's about.![]() ![]() Boxbot! ![]() E: And by stumbled I mean just found out a Manga Taisho nominated manga got fully translated. They tend to be interesting in some way so I try to give them a chance if they're translated especially since a bunch of them are forum favorites including Seki-kun, Silver Spoon, Chihayafuru, Sakamoto desu ka, etc. Anyways, Terrarium in Drawer is also fully translated. This one is more an anthology of a lot of different scenarios, some weird, some heart-touching, and some just amusing gags. ![]() ![]() Allarion fucked around with this message at 09:04 on Jan 13, 2015 |

I thought this looked familiar, so I looked it up and it's by Ryoko Kui, the mangaka of the Dragons Seven Adorable Children. That's got sort of the same format, maybe she likes doing these vignette type things.

Wonder how I never saw this thread before, other than not actually coming to subforum that often. Saw Sumire in the op, read the whole thing in a day, currently assaulted by feels. The old man is one of the most inspirational characters I've ever encountered. What a loving great manga. Darke GBF fucked around with this message at 02:51 on Jan 19, 2015 |

I watched a bit of the raw outta curiosity, it was interesting what they did with it. Basically half of the time Yotsuya is portrayed as an actual puppet, and the other half by an actual actress, switching between the two depending on what was funnier/more convenient for certain actions.

what edit: This has always been a mood whiplash sort of series, but this takes the weirdness to a wholly different place (hah!). The strangest stuff has always been unrelated to our protagonists, or at most vaguely adjacent to them. This is... a significant escalation of weird.

Gross as hell.

Exploiting the otaku market is kind of like oil drilling. In the exploratory phase, you drill for new untapped fetish deposits. At some point you'll strike a productive fetish reserve, which you can exploit until it runs dry. Then you can move on to the next fetish. Since the market for incest was tapped out by around 2011-2012, the new otaku-exploitation frontier has opened up in the necrophilia front.

She's going to have a confrontation with the winged girl who's running the other country, and it's going to be class rep. The war will turn out to be a horrible misunderstanding, and the Antarcticans step in from behind the scenes to get them home safely.

Or maybe some Frankensteining of both, where the next chapter ends with startled recognition on their faces as class rep. and... oh my, I can't remember anyone's names right now... centaur girl meet each other at the height of a climactic battle, and the next next chapter has everything back to normal.

Wow. Then again, it's that manga. I would have liked it better if it expanded on the crazy it has already introduced rather than pushing ahead on the crazy front.

The funniest thing is that she's basically a high school girl who does ceremonial archery but in this world she just wrecks everyone's poo poo.

Centaur's Worries is probably the only manga that has two entirely distinct reasons for being in this thread. edti: I sure wonder how Class Rep subdued that northern kingdom.

I'm kind of impressed by Centaur's Worries sometimes. The author has managed to create a weirdly fleshed out almost-normal world. Explaining stuff to literal babies avoids "as you know" exposition, and there are some bizarrely sobering moments, like the reveal that the Class Rep's father is a deadbeat or accounts of civil unrest that don't stray too far into fantasy-racism. Of course, every now and then a chapter comes along like the alien one earlier that just confuses the hell out of me.

Hmm, I'm starting to get an inkling of why the demons were scared shitless of witches. Edit: Now that I think about it, this really won't end well. Dowman isn't averse to happy endings, but one thing he never lets up on is that actions have consequences. gimme the GOD DAMN candy fucked around with this message at 12:14 on Jan 31, 2015 |
