This thread got me to read Sumire 16-Sai. That was fantastic. Is there a place with 17-Sai fully-translated? Everywhere I looked it only had up to the first two chapters of the second volume done, which is disappointing.

Going to check out some of the other series in this thread later, too. There is some fantastic-looking stuff here.

Kago Shintaro.

Shintaro Kago is awesome in spectacular, horrible, brilliant ways. I wouldn't call his work slice-of-life (in fact he's technically a porn/hentai/whatever artist, even if he rather obviously doesn't find anything he writes sexy and has admitted in an interview to writing certain genres because no one else was, and that he also throws in a sex scene to take up a page or two when he can't think of what to write, which I found hilarious), but on the other hand it is definitely surreal and does deserve to be plugged, even if it is frequently pretty horrifying. And Superglue is not even close to his most disturbing thing (actually it was the first work of his that I read, it was hilarious).

So, yeah. The guy's stuff is completely :nws: and probably :nms:, but it's hilarious and in some cases pretty amazing, and I really don't know of anything else like it.

Hare+Guu has an anime series that's been subbed (and at least partially dubbed), although I am very interested in the original manga. Wonder why so little has been translated; the anime was hilarious.

Meanwhile, read some of the stuff here. Sumire and Assassination Classroom are both great; does anyone know if the second volume of Sumire 17-sai has been fully translated somewhere, though? It only goes two chapters in everywhere I've looked.

Ahaha, wow. That's not something I expected to see from the creator of Serial Experiments Lain. Will have to check these other works of his out.
