So The Real Her is basically just Shinozaki with BDSM instead of otaku culture, yeah?

It's a lot faster-paced as far as developing the relationship between the main characters goes; it doesn't ever really feel like the plot is spinning its wheels like Shinozaki does sometimes.

On that note, Out Of The Blue's 3rd chapter is out. Also pretty straightforward (Yuri though, if you're not into that.) Kaelan Zero fucked around with this message at 10:32 on Aug 18, 2015 |

I love both of the characters in this. Particularly the delinquent girl, but it's also refreshing to have an overachiever loner type character who isn't deeply conflicted or hiding a hidden past and is mostly just honest and capable, like the glasses girl. Mostly the delinquent girl is really cute, though.

We get four new chapters of Tamen De Gushi, and it doesn't really progress the story at all. Annoying.

Sure it does. Not sure what the big guy's role will be, but they had to establish him somehow if they want to use him in a big way.

His role will be Sun Jing's trainer when this takes a sharp right and becomes a martial arts comic.

New chapter of Sekine-kun no Koi! http://bato.to/comic/_/comics/sekine-kun-no-koi-r562 I missed this series, I really hope it keeps up

One of my favorites. Natsyuki Rendezvous was a pretty cool series too. Well, I just watched the anime

Remember that "cynical romance" series, Koi Dano Ai Dano? I continue reading it out of routine when it updates, and it's gotten rather interesting in the last dozen or so chapters. It seemed to threaten a holding pattern forever, but I feel like an editor was like "get on with it" and I'm enjoying this turn of events.

Man, I wish I had picked up Otome Yokai Zakuro sooner. Not sure why it's a "seinen" manga, though. I mean, the sparkle quotient isn't that high, but it's enough to be a shoujo manga anyhow.

Seinen literally just means that the magazine it runs in is aimed at guys in their twenties, it's just a demographic.

The author and artist is mainly known for boys love stuff, but also did the characters design for Marawu Penguindrum. Did you watch the anime for OYZ? It's beautiful. Came out in 2009 or so, the manga has been trickling out since then. a kitten fucked around with this message at 10:17 on Aug 20, 2015 |

I know she definitely will, but I don't want it to happen.

Man, reading old scans of old shounen ai stuff like The Ice Cold Demon's Tale is rough. I appreciate that they did it at all but I'll be glad when I get past these first few volumes.

I kind of wish there was a group dedicated to just cleaning up old scans, whether it was abysmal language or just a crappy set of scans. You get it with a lot of other genres and series too, like in One Piece re-reading it you'll get long stretches of great quality. Then suddenly a random group will take over for a few chapters and the quality will go to crap and luffy becomes rufi again.

I'm of two minds about that, since as nice as it would be for the groups doing the high-quality scans to re-do the ancient lower-quality ones, their time is probably better spent working on chapters that aren't translated at all. I'll grumble about having to muddle through a rough translation or bad scan but better than nothing, really. Especially if it wasn't licensed or is out of print & super rare. Bad scans of stuff I can still buy...I should probably stfu and buy the book lol. Probably going to do that with that new deluxe version of Kizuna next time I have some mad money, while the books are still easy to get.

True but at the same time, I imagine it might be more time consuming to do a whole new scan and translation of a new chapter, than to just use an old translation (provided you have permission or whatever if you're a nice person like that) over a new image. Basically I'm imagining a smaller group, possibly even composed of readers, just go back and janitor up the place in their spare time. But I imagine a lot of scanning and translating groups would freak out over the idea of other people touching their works like that, too.

This shows some promise: Hana Wa Nisemono. A gay couple prays at a shrine to always be together. The shrine's god goes "Won't that be difficult since you're both guys?" and turns one of them into a girl, without adjusting their sexuality.

God drat, Akatsuki no Yona 100 & 101. Looks like the next arc will be a flashback to the original dragons, some series don't handle those too well but I think this one's will be cool.
