Any recommendations for stuff similar to All-Rounder Meguru and Teppuu? I really like the more down-to-earth stories about daily training and competitions and stuff. Doesn't have to be about MMA though. Martial arts, yoga, running--any sort of manga about people just doing their thing like that really appeals to me.

Yawara and Stretch totally count.

Chihayafuru maybe.

Ace of the Diamond for baseball but thats way more into shonen tropes territory than Meguru / Teppuu

I can't say Altair is a battle manga. Maybe a war manga but it's mostly about diplomacy and intrigue (and it's what I love most about it anyway).

Horrible because he's a psychopathic monster, or horrible because you don't think it's a very good chapter

I Am Missing is basically Life Is Strange at this point(although technically the other way around really), which I think is hiiiiiiilarious.

Jeeeeeesus christ. Another chapter's gone up of I Am Missing. It's pretty brutal.

Honestly curious where it goes from here. More time fuckery shenanigans? Going back to the past again to right the wrongs again? Explanation of his time powers? Is he a brain-damaged husk now? Maybe even this has all been in his coma-dream and he never had time powers to begin with?

The scanlations have been spotty for a while so I wonder what the current chapter is in Japan.


Oh, and a new chapter of Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha came out as well. I believe it's completed as of a decent while ago so there's only a few chapters left to be translated. Haven't read this one yet but I'm hoping we're not headed for a bittersweet/bummer ending.

edit: Oh loving poo poo, it's not just one chapter, but chapters 46-50 + special! That might be all that's left, can't wait to dive in

What a fantastic finale. What an outstanding series. Top 10 for me, for sure.

I love that it stuck to its guns, that it didn't compromise even in the end, and yet it was still a wonderful ending. I liked that ending more than Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer's ending, which I liked a whole lot.

I'm hoping his time powers were real but he got back to present day via coma and can't travel anymore so now he needs to resolve it without any mulligans

It seems like he awakened from the coma at the very end of the chapter (and it's called "Wake Up")? I'm pretty sure everything hasn't been a coma dream, since it was his actions (informed by his time travelling experiences) that lead to him being in a coma in the first place. I'm guessing that he drowned and was recovered in time to not die but still have brain damage or something (it's not inconceivable that someone wouldn't have seen that car going into the water and come to help, though in reality I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have been possible to save him fast enough, but it's a comic so who knows).

I'm not really sure if he'll time travel again or not. While it's possible for him to pursue things now that he's awake from his coma, I can't really see how that could be considered a Good End, even if he succeeded; Gaku has probably killed a bunch of people over the last ~15 years or however long it's been.


By the way, do not look at the Wikipedia page; it has spoilers from untranslated chapters.

on the bright side he isn't wanted for murder in this timeline

but yeah i could definitely see him trying to pursue the guy again in the present, real curious how it's going to play out and if he's actually suffered from the coma beyond bodily deterioration

yeah I mean, I know he's been comatose and supposedly brain damaged but I'm surprised Gaku didn't already try to off him while he's in the hospital bed at least once. I guess if it looked like foul play he'd be under watch

spoilers from what I'm assuming are the next one or two untranslated chapters, based on what I saw on the Wiki page - Apparently Satoru has lost his memory after waking up. It looks like the next chapter will probably tell us what his elementary school buddies are up to: Kenya became a lawyer and is still trying to track down the culprit, and Hinazuki married Hiromi. Also Airi enters the equation again in some way, forget how. I'm wondering if the focus may shift to Kenya now, since he's apparently been obsessed with the case ever since it effectively claimed the life of his best friend.
