Is there a series like Kamisama no Iutoori but people end up with special powers or did I imagine it or is that it?

Harold Sakuishi who made Beck has a new manga out called Rin about a kid wanting to be a manga artist and some girl who can sort of see the future. Its very similar to Beck so far

What was the last SJ manga to survive? Seems like most of those I've bothered to read have all been cancelled so far

Psyren's problem was that it should have been in a seinen magazine

Wow, what a piece of poo poo. It's not like most women in Japan can even report actual rapes and be taken seriously, nevertheless falsely accusing people.

The author probably got busted molesting a girl on the subway and seethes at the idea that she didn't stand there stoically and accept it like a traditional Japanese woman should.

lol calm the gently caress down.

Have there been any fighting manga starting since Naruto? I read OP\Bleach\Hero Academy but I'm like a drat crack addict. Horrible tropes are my fuel. I need more. :goatdrugs:

one of the things pre-timeskip and immediately post timeskip naruto did very well was team battles that i've rarely seen done well in other manga, probably because of how the powers work

since this is the shounen thread everyone who hasn't really ought to read zatch/gash bell because its shounen as gently caress and definitely has great fights all the way through

Magi would be epic if the Hogwarts arc wasnt like 150 chapters long. I keep reading a few chapters every now and then and I feel like its not even close to winding down. Serious shounen battle fatigue.

it was clearly massively interfered by an editor because everything else is really good and that arc d ragged on really badly in an out of place way

its really good after you get past that bad arc

Using fermats last theorem as the basis of a joke was pretty bold. It also manages to make the stakes of the faudo arc really high without it then ruining the final arc

Do editors really have that much power, and do they really use it for evil that often? The only major case of editorial interference I can remember a mangaka discussing openly is Toriyama's editor telling him that the Androids had crappy designs (and he had a point; 19 in particular looks awful), leading to Cell being introduced to replace them as the villain.

who knows but the entire war was a mess, really long and totally out of character for the rest of the series. It probably got great ratings so it was like 20 chapters instead of 5 or something

why do all shounen sports manga have "mystery can't exercise" illness and not just go the H2 route except its legit?

Jose

Captain Invictus posted:

anime and manga are often incredibly guilty of the "mystery killer bloody cough disease" so a sports version isn't surprising.

one series that did it really, shockingly well was RIN. The sister's illness, while I don't believe it was ever named(though it seems like Parkinson's or something similar), is a degenerative brain disease that will inevitably make her into a vegetable, but she struggles against it as hard as she can. Straight up made me tear up at times.

like h2 had the main character misdiagnosed as a hosed up arm so he had to quit baseball which turned out to be a load of poo poo but just make it that instead of "mystery illness so gets tired insanely quickly"

they fell as a kid and hosed their shoulder and welp
