Can anyone tell me what the gently caress's going on with Tokyo Ghoul?   The three most recent chapters. No, i didn't cut any out. Take note of the upload date, too. ninjaedit: Apparently it's supposed to be seinen? Eh, the question still stands.

I don't think there's a thread for it and it's kinda hard to categorize, so i'll use this thread. More Awkward Confessions Gone Wrong: the manga. And appropriate BGM. Dunno why i love this thing so much, but it has never disappointed me so far.

It started off interesting and promising, but somewhere around the "Gourmet" arc the whole thing just jumped the shark like a ballistic missile and blew up into a disgusting, disappointing trainwreck.

That chapter was p. bad, to be honest. Wasn't really a chapter so much as a list of names. Character, nameplate, character, nameplate, character, quip, nameplate, character, vague foreshadowing, nameplate. I don't even remember any of the characters aside from gently caress boi and Kengan Hearts, let alone their names. It probably won't be neccessary since we learned basically nothing about them and we'll see them mentioned by name again when it's their time to shine, but man, what a waste of a chapter.

Kengan Asura continues to be pretty entertaining in its quest to portray the world's most out-of-his-depth (or is he???) man.

gently caress boi got a proper and bad rear end representation, not in small part owed to the artist actually living in America for a while, but lol if you really thought the foreigner was going to win against the tiny Asian in a manga (i love the Reaper's hockey stick of death)

I actually just binged through that recently. Yeah, it's p. okay. Decently executed, each chapter has quite some meat to it so the like 36 chapters that are out will actually take some time to read. Keep in mind that the characterization for the protag from the first one or two chapters basically vanishes shortly afterwards, so don't get too attached to "goofy positive dude who's bad at everything". You need to get over the usual anime hurdles like a dude who runs around in underwear trying to marry two 14 year olds to each other, and wildly conflicting scales of power as the series marches on, but if you've been here for more than a decade,  It's very much written in the moment, so there's a couple rear end pulls here and there, but the art is nice, the fights can be followed pretty well, it's refreshing to have a protagonist who looks like he could also play a villain, i like some of what they did with the female lead in terms of hardships and moral decisions later on, and then there's also Hatsune Demon:  edit: friendly warning, you'll get enormous whiplash from the little gaiden chapters, because they almost always follow right after some dramatic cliffhanger chapter edit2: the major villain loving sucks, though HenryEx fucked around with this message at 00:53 on Jan 5, 2017 |

Ytlaya posted:I remember reading this bizarre manga some time ago with a similar premise in that the protagonist has a weird birthmark on his rear end that makes girls want to bang him. But there was a catch in that they'd immediately stop feeling that way after sleeping with him (and it would never work a second time). So he ends up constantly worrying if girls really like him or if they mistakenly saw his birthmark at some point. I remember it portraying his ability as this terrible thing that brought him nothing but suffering. Now that you mention it, i remember something like that, too. I only remember it though, because one of the girls he meets was a stagehand at a Pendulum concert.  At least i'm pretty sure that was the one.All the "oh woe is me" was really stretching it though, yeah.

Man, Isabella has friends in some really high places. Shoulda seen it coming, since everyone important is always related somehow, but the manga's pretty decent at showing various characters constructing schemes and shooting them down in (to them) unexpected ways.

Alder posted:It's better than I expected from the intro at least and monsters actually look unique/frightening. However I see a lack of interesting female characters other than his sister and the doctor. Also I completely forgot some of the supporting characters since they meet so many different people on their journey. The sense of humor w/expressions reminds me of the good days of Magi. Sounds balanced to me, since the count of interesting male characters is also at two

I'll give you Dark Souls man, but MC and scaredy-cat just about add up to one interesting character when put together. The swordsman's only defining feature is "showed up in chapter 1", i don't think that qualifies him. The sister at least has some fantastic fight entrances sometimes, and some kind of hidden/unrealized thing going for her yet. Whatever it was that led to her setting her blood on fire. It was framed a little confusingly.

Hori is violent and is amused by the thought of her usually careful and empathic boyfriend being a little rough with her in return. On any other topic this would count as playful teasing and it's definitely what Hori sees it as. It's just unfortunate that Miyamura is so obviously uncomfortable in indulging her on that. It doesn't come up very much though, and i've always felt that the reaction of most people here towards it was overblown. Horimiya is good. Compared to basically every other "violent shoujo heroine" she at least gets called out on it and it's actually a part of her character instead of (solely) a vehicle for humor. On another note, i found some rare baby pictures of the Gaping Dragon:

Yeah they're pretty good, but iirc, you'll get major mood whiplash when reading the tank extra chapters, since their fun wackiness almost always directly follows some kind of big dramatic cliffhanger.

The author has a bad habit of "show, and then also tell in excruciating detail via narrator comments" that seems to get worse as time goes on.

Sadly, people in fiction only ever really die when you see it happen. Anyone presumed dead is bound to show up again, always. Unless the series gets cancelled before the author gets there. If an author actually goes through with killing a character off-screen, the audience always gets mad for some reason, despite them clamoring for "less clichés" (see Attack on Titan).

I kinda love Real Account. There was some mess with the first go at it getting axed or switching magazines and the second try (aptly titled Real Account II) basically rebooting the story, rehashing some of the games, but later on also being, like a parallel story or something. But it's basically everything i look for in a death game story: brutal, sleazy, misanthropic, sometimes kinda clever. It parodies the social networking craze pretty well. And yeah, that main character twist was amazing. I sort of stopped reading it at some point, probably due to running out of translated chapters. I should check in whether it's done by now.

Yeah i saw it mentioned somewhere else here yesterday and took a look, i'm usually apprehensive about manhua becuase a) their translations tend to be not great and b) the content tends to either be dumb wish fulfillment or rely on knowledge of cultural or historical stuff. This one though, pure fantasy as mentioned, no prior knowledge needed and the translation is p. good, or at least it's p. good English. It does have a pretty good flow, and things that seem confusing at first (like the other kids being really apprehensive about the girl's mom) do make sense later, and without the author feeling the need to cram the mystery's solution down your throat later in the same chapter. It's mostly comedy i guess, but does go into more "serious" fantasy beats lately. The comedy isn't outstanding, but i find it consistently entertaining. My only complaint is that the author does occasionally rely on dumb tired comedy clichés like "haha, woman bad at cooking" or "haha, he called his wife fat and she's upset" but it's a minor complaint and really my only one so far. He makes up for the former example by spinning it into a funny take about the protagonist's family just having literally no taste.
