If you like beautifully drawn slice-of-life with engaging characters, I recommend Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou:


I've seen this recommended a lot, and anyone who likes it should check out Kabu no Isaki by the same author. It's completed now and the ending is a bit crappy, but it's mostly a very chill slice of life about aeroplane pilots.

Jagan wa Gachirin ni Tobu/Wicked Eyes Fly to the Full Moon



It's a short manga(7 chapters) about an owl that kills everything it looks at and the people hunting it down. It's really good and the art is fantastic whenever the owl is involved. It's also by the guy who did Ushio to Tora.

The translation kind of reminds me of Baki in some places because it's so insanely overwrought and super-dramatic.

It's a good time to start reading this gem of a manga since the translation/scanlation has been completed recently.

uh. This series is amazing.

There are so many concepts of magic being shown where we don't have to know how it works, but I am glad they don't go into the details for the majority of them.

My absolute favorite character with the greatest concept was the teacher that could use no magic (holy poo poo, the reveal at the door) but knew how it worked and actually teach students the subject through theory instead of demonstration. Then the part where she disrupted a young crow's powers for months because she knew how his magic worked, drat. At that point it made you realize she was feared by Lord Zen. She reminded me so much like the Sylar character in Heroes just without the brain goo.

It's a manga about gambling... but he uses cunning and wits to win big by manipulating his opponents. More importantly, he's part of a gambling den where he puts his literal life on the line when he plays.

I've only read the first chapter, but it perfectly fit that Liar Game shaped hole in my heart.

vv True. It's called Usogui

I liked the idea of the ending, but it was awkwardly abrupt. It had all the impact of wet paper.

My understanding is that the author has been having health issues, which led to the long hiatus before and probably are related to this, too.

It's been almost thirty pages of this thread since someone has posted Kakukaku Shikajika, and since then this work has won the 2015 Manga Taishō award. It's an autobiographical piece by Akiko Higashimura, the author of Kuragehime. It's interesting and heartbreaking and all too relatable, and I just read the whole drat thing over two days. I am very glad that I read it.

Hinamatsuri is a pretty heartwarming story about a Yakuza who finds an Esper girl and proceeds to take care of her.

12 new chapters of Yuricam just came out, it's a comedy series about a now-destitute rich girl at a fabulous all-girls college who becomes a gigolette and conquers the women of the college to keep food in her stomach, and finds she has a talent for it. It's very silly. I completely forgot it existed since there hasn't been an update in two years.

It's been updating at Dynasty Scans's reader. Kissmanga just hasn't grabbed the updates until now.

Are the early chapters of Ratman still unreadable? I remember reading the first couple chapters and enjoying it a lot, then the translation groups switched and it became total nonsense.

I don't remember the early chapters being bad, but I don't think I've ever seen any of it get retranslated either, so probably?

Awww I got hopeful that there was a bunch more yuricam to read, but oh well.

That said Yuricam is hilarious in how ridiculous it is.

It's fascinating how different the You're Under Arrest manga is from the anime. I'm happy someone who can put out chapters regularly picked it up.

I've read some scans and apparently there was a group translating it from the taiwanese and it was pretty bad. But another group did some of the early chapters from I presume the Japanese version or at least had a really good editor.

Yeah. It's from the second volume of the original manga which came out six or seven years before the OVA.

He did the same thing with AMG, forcing Dark Horse to skip like 2-3 volumes worth in the beginning because of the artwork or whatever. It later got published anyway by DH though.
