School Live has been chugging along, and I'm still not quite sure where it's going to wind up. That said, the recent chapters, even with the introduction of a cutesy AI buddy with convenient long-distance polygraph abilities, continues to keep the bleakness at full pace and equilibrium with the cheerful facade.

Lube Enthusiast posted:Chapter 42 of Dungeon Meshi: https://mangadex.org/chapter/169474/1 Ryoko Kui is really amazingly good at drawing facial features. And it is based on such a fundamentally simple artstyle, making every slight expression or faint sign of exhaustion unmistakably conveyable without having to exaggerate anything. That's quite a rare quality in manga, at least as far as my experience goes.

i really want to like moyashimon. i've gotten like 60 chapters through it with the translation done (having stopped at like 12 originally) but it's not making it easy for me to continue. The main problem is how the actual plot comes to a screeching halt so often. the chapters featuring only microbes, speaking at length about history or facts (with no humans) and the frequent asides about science by the professor or students make it really boring and unpleasant to read. I read books and I like manga mixed with factoids, but this is just too much of an infodump all. the. time. the main character's power is also underutilized, which seems to be kind of the point, but it would have made the story more interesting.

English translation of the chapter with the not-Madarame and not-Hato sex scene is out. There's a twist that makes it worth reading. Maybe. I don't know. https://mangadex.org/chapter/175079/1 Did Spotted Flower start around the same time as Genshiken: Second Season? Is it meant as an alternate ending? Does Kio Shimoku hate the characters they created? I just don't understand.

A big pile of trash with a nice, extra serving of transphobia just to clinically remove every trace of everything I liked about the series. gently caress.

I mean it's obvious that the dude has huge issues leading to incredibly self-destructive impulses. I just don't care about the dude compared to the people he warps around him. Kind of reminds me of The Office (the UK one, not the US one). Just a really deep dive into a very pathetic man.

I don't know how much of this was a time/place thing (since I read it while I was in college) but the original 9 volume run of Genshiken is such a great, self-contained story. It didn't need a sequel or follow up of any sort. But at this point any perceived fond feelings I have for it have been washed away with everything that has followed. It's too bad.

I kind of started skimming and then gave up when the lives of everyone started to bend around Madarame who until that moment seemed like a secondary protagonist and template for "over-invested anime fan" rather than the primary protagonist or romantic idol (somehow?!!?!?).

This just showed up with two chapters and looks promising, a series called Candy and Cigarettes. A retired 65-year-old Security Policeman finds an ad for a job that pays a million yen a month, which he needs in order to pay the medical costs for his grandson, signs up and winds up as a "cleaner" for a 5th-grader government assassin. Gives me vibes of Gunsmith Cats, though without the absurd sexualization of the May-type character. Hopefully. Christ, hopefully.  I'm wagering it'll eventually wind up with him sorta rehabilitating the girl into a normal life since she's obviously got ~problems~, seems like that with the "unlikely contrasting partners" MO it seems to be going with.

That's a shame. The first two chapters seemed like a good start, but if it doesn't get better past that, then that'll be a pass. I'll put that other one on the list.

On the topic of young assassins, what ever happened with Deathco? That was really cool because the Soil author's art is awesome. Is it still being written and translated?

Sharkopath posted:It ended at 9 volumes and nobody has translated it in a year. Do you know if the ending was a "normal" one or a premature cancellation type ending? Because knowing when the latter has occurred always dampers my enthusiasm for reading a series. 9 volumes is reasonably long so hopefully it got a decent ending.

Here's the news item that announced the end of Deathco. Comic Beam is a monthly magazine, so a four-year run with 7 volumes (not 9) seems like it wasn't canned, though I can't attest to the quality of the ending.

DisDisDis posted:Laughed My rear end Off when he said "...I guess this is still cheating" Same here. I don't follow this manga, but what I've read (from it being linked in the past) makes it look hilariously bad and trashy. And not trashy in a typical "anime" way, but more in the sense of being the sort of story where you just hate every single character. Sorta like a Japanese "Megg, Mogg, and Owl" except without the actual purpose and good humor that comic has.

Spotted Flower spent most of its (extremely long, it first appeared before Genshiken 2) run as this kind of cute, mostly harmless thing, so it was pretty funny when it first suddenly decided to have drama and then suddenly decided to go all in on "let's just make them AWFUL."

To be honest I kinda disagree with this; even early on I got weird "pregnancy fetish" vibes from it. Pierson posted:I wouldn't inflict that series on anyone except people totally mentally healthy though. "Megg, Mogg, and Owl" does probably the best job of anything I've ever read/seen of capturing just how immensely depressing low-income suburban American life can be. vvvv Yeah I should have just said "suburban Western life." And the "uncomfortably real" thing is what I was getting at; even though my life isn't really like that of the characters in the comic, it's still super unsettling to me.

Isn't it set in Australia? Even so it feels really relatable and universal. I'm Scottish and it feels uncomfortably real.
