I will admit I've not read many romantic comedy series (this, a couple of others, maybe Love Hina like a decade ago); what's the archetypal example of a rom-com series never ending and just teasing endlessly?Pavlov posted:Yeah I get that.

So to add to the pile of "Cute girls doing _______" I present Quick Start!! A story of a group of girls playing Japanese Tabletop Roleplaying games. It's basically a 4-koma style advertisement for games made by FarEast Amusement Research (F.E.A.R).

I've always wanted to see someone play some japanese TRPGs. There's supposedly some really weird ones but I could never find any good translations. That comic looks really boring though.

Uhhhh I know there were some in the japan-game tabletop thread, but I think that got archived. E: Wait found it. Ryuutama and Meikyuu Kingdom where the interesting sounding ones. I guess Ryuutama got kickstarter translated though? Pavlov fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Aug 3, 2017 |

Unfortunately a lot of japanese RPGs are stuck in the past with regard to gameplay (aesthetically they're all quite wonderful). Meikyuu Kingdom is a pretty egregious example where you basically roll dice and consult charts, but even Ryuutama is something of a chore to play even if it has some interesting ideas with how GMs operate.

Well thats too bad. Though that is why the most important part of a tabletop game is having a group that can play fast and lose when the rules get tedious.

Only six as far as I can find. There is a WN/LN the manga is based on, but I haven't checked it out. Apparently it's a lot slower at the start, with the sword's grinding apparently drawn out for a bit rather than kept short like it is in the manga.

I enjoy how it tries to make the MC cute and then goes off the rails with some guy's legs getting chopped off and blood spurting out of the stumps like crazy.

IB: Instant Bullet Various misanthropes, social outcasts, and losers get a magic power revolving around a single concept. A bit of teen angst and fighting as well as a lot of philosophizing about mortality and the nature of good and evil occur. It's pretty short; 25 chapters. The author ended it then due to not wanting to get too ambitious and have it drag on too long for his first original work. He also made Kaguya wants to be confessed to, which I think showed up here before.

Erg posted:ib owns and it's awesome that the author went on to have a really good series afterwards  I kinda expected it to be more angsty and faux-philosophical but it actually managed to make me sad even if it's technically a happy ending. Poor Yume and Toiro.  The afterword was an interesting view at the author's thoughts. I wonder if they'll ever want to make more.

Instant Bullet turned out to be good? I remember the first two chapters coming out and it seeming like it had potential but also could be more generic dreck.
