Casually asking somebody for help finding a person’s mom is absurd, the idea that she is lost in her own house even more so.

Vote shit sandwich or the shit sandwich gets it!
Spider-Man: Fake Red

Normal high school student Yu finds Spider-Man's suit in the trash and decides to wear it. After being nearly killed by Spidey's enemies several times, he ends up teaming up with the real Spider-Man to fight Mysterio (who knows Spider-Man's real identity). So now Peter has to fight while at the same time trying to prevent Yu from being murdered by Mysterio's illusions.





(That illusion is MJ, for the record.)

I assumed that it was a whole "bored/lonely house mom" thing and that the teacher was asking these guys to go over to Kaede's house to help find her mom as a pretext for having sex with her.

And I did find that funny, when combined with the way the teacher is drawn in a manner where it really looks like she is trying to be subtle.

But if the actual answer is "she is so ditzy she gets lost in her own house" then that is less funny.

Too easy to get him mixed up with J2, the Juggernaut's heroic son.

without any context im not sure why wanting to look for someone is absurd, nor do i have any indication that the mom is "lost" in her own house

and since you didnt bother to follow the rules and label what this page is from i couldnt look it up even if i wanted to

Yeah, for real, label your posts in the Post <x> Panels threads, especially if it isn't immediately obvious. If someone posts a page of Spider-Man goofing on Mysterio or whatever we have at least a little bit of a bread-crumb trail to suss out where to find the source, but if you just drop what appears to be a fan-translation of some manga, nobody is going to be able to seek it out or learn anything else about it. I've discovered a ton of cool series through these threads that otherwise would have flown completely beneath my radar, and that's not going to happen if we just encounter these pages as context-free scraps.

Edit: It's from something called "Komi-San Wa Komyushou Desu" it looks like, if anybody wanted to follow-up on it.

Umm how is funny panels a derail in the funny panels thread? I'm not saying manga isn't as funny as American stuff, just that people don't post much manga here. It's much more difficult, because you can't assume the reader has any knowledge of the characters. But I'm sure it's out there. I love the yakuza house husband, for example.

Edit: See, funny stuff already.

The "manga sucks!"/"No, manga rules!" bit always goes on forever and doesn't change anyone's mind. As has been the case since forever ago, please post manga in this and the badass/moving threads, if you like a particular page or scene I encourage you to say so, if you don't like it, say so, but there's no need to make it into a clash of cultures.

I meant the manga that is posted in this thread makes manga look unfunny. I didn’t mean manga isn’t as funny as other comics. Not the best post, I admit, but I was literally posting during my bathroom break of three whole minutes. Is it that surprising it’s a shitpost?

But look at all this great stuff so far! There’s clearly quality funny out in manga land. I just don’t get why people in this thread sometimes post a page of a manga that isn’t funny without context, and then don’t provide context.

I can't go read it any more after I read the strip where the comic creator (as in he actually drew himself in the strip) kills Michael. I found it so disturbing that I don't want to accidentally come across it again.

No that was Garfield.

Battle Angel Alita: Last Order (Omnibus Vol. 5). Last Order is more than 2000 pages of fights and the meaning of humanity and "self" in a society where pretty much everyone is a cyborg. The previous ones had to do with class warfare, freedom, the ego and goverments hiding information from the people.
Plus, some very ridiculous ways in which the creator adds some funny bits to the middle of fights. (Read right to left)





Karate "on the level of the theory of relativity" is incredibly funny to me.

Are you talking about the strip where the cat outside his apartment window is bothering him while he's trying to draw so he just pushes it off and kills it in front of its owner who screams "Michael!!" at her dead cat in front of her?
