Hello new thread. Have some Again!! Ch. 31, won't you? To build on the OP's write-up, Again!! is cool because it manages to take the piss out of lots of classic shonen elements without becoming a total parody. Imamura knows for a fact that he's got to change, but that doesn't mean he's buying into any of this hot-blooded burning spirit hard work guts fight power of friendship bullshit.

Serious Frolicking posted:Datenshi Gakuen Debipara is a manga with an incredibly generic premise. However, it is actually a comedy and not a shounen fighting manga like the description would suggest. It is actually hilarious, even. Nothing about the art style says 'comedy' to me, but it's got real potential. Rin is the best kind of idiot.

Good Citizen posted:Don't start reading Ippo. Read RRR instead. Seconding. Also, if you can mentally squint past all the baseball and pretend it's just the story of a hot-blooded teacher helping out a class of delinquents with great, super-expressive art, Rookies is a lot of fun.

Autonomous Monster posted:
I counted at least 5 rounds worth of "gently caress yeah, Shibata!" / "Oh, no, Shibata!" Nate RFB posted:I know this is kind of a silly question, but has Again changed or gotten better in these later chapters? I dropped it around the time they introduced the rival midget ouendan leader. I thought the concept for the series was pretty great but did not care about the ouendan stuff at all. [General raw spoilers] After the baseball game, the organized ouendan stuff drops off a lot. Volume 7 is one long game of "gently caress yeah, Shibata!" / "Oh, no, Shibata!" , and volume 8 sees the gang helping out the Drama Club. Hiro also gets a much bigger role (as a tremendous dick), and, for the first time in my knowledge, a Japanese mangaka makes an artistic reference to Little Orphan Annie.

Autonomous Monster posted:Imamura seems to think he's not worthy of her/will inevitably gently caress it up. Which is... a pretty natural outgrowth of his lack of self-esteem, zero experience and generally pessimistic outlook, I guess. I was waiting for the next chapter to make a it a double, but yeah, chapter 69 makes it crystal-clear: Convinced he's going to screw it up anyway, Imamura sets out to screw it up as quickly as possible.  Too bad for him Shibata gets impressed by the weirdest things.
