Hey! So have any of you ever seen The Mist or read the Stephen King novel it's based on? Well, if you enjoyed either, you'd really enjoy Hakaijuu, which is sort of the same "Alien creatures suddenly killing everybody" except in Tokyo. Some amazingly tense horror stuff-- beware, though, it's pretty  with respect to violence. No sexual content, however, but it's really gory.

Crossposting with the "Convince Someone To Read A Manga With One Image" thread. Thermae Romae It's the story of a 2nd century Roman architect who is one day transported while bathing to a bathhouse in modern Japan.  It's pretty hilarious, despite the somewhat rough art!

Nate RFB posted:Oh hey, remember that Shaft anime from 3 years ago called Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru? The manga releases were modestly popular, but the last one was in June 2011. Well, a whole shitload of new ones were just posted. Awesome! I just love Soredemo, the drawing style is just kind of cute and innately appealing to me, in addition to being really good expressive art. I also like how most of the chapters don't even really involve the maid cafe gimmick and are just amusing tales about the colorful characters that live around town. It's a really good manga.  EDIT: Oh dear God, the ending of chapter 42.  EDIT2: Oh gosh, the chapters exploring the relationship between Lobstergirl and Hotori's younger brother are soooo adorable! I could die!

Kleptobot posted:Here's a new one with the "tsundere" trait played painfully, frighteningly straight: Mozuya-san Gyakujousuru. The artwork is pretty good but the story...holy poo poo. I think I need to lie down for a bit. It's nice to see someone finally taking the piss out at the whole stupid "tsundere" thing and exposing it for how, in real life, it'd be a serious, violent mental illness. I also like how it's told from the viewpoint of the "fat sidekick" kid. Looking forward to seeing where this is going!

I think the author of "Mozuya-San" is a woman, judging by the short autobiographical comic at the beginning. Apparently, Kentaro Miura is doing a short miniseries called Gigantomakhia. Lots of giant weird monsters, huge organic structures, very "Moebius"-ish.

Hello fellow earthlings! Do you like single dad manga like Yotsuba& and It's pretty enjoyable in that "makes you smile a bit" way. v- R-really? I didn't see that so much in the bit I'd read, but I guess if it's that bad, then never mind.  -v

Chas McGill posted:I read the novella and enjoyed it more than I expected. Are there any other translated Japanese novellas that aren't about getting it on with handicapped half-sisters? Spice and Wolf! I've been reading the books on interlibrary loan, and it's neat to experience the characters' thoughts and have things explained that the anime can't really show.

Do you like Hayao Miyazaki movies? Did you know that he made a manga before Nausicaa? Did you know that it's in COLOR?? It's this: Shuna no Tabi Read it! EDIT: And for good measure here's another thing he's done under a different pen-name. Sabaku no Tami

I've just been sort of bemused at "Mozuya-San"'s more recent chapters lately, but the latest chapter is actually pretty decent. I was quite surprised to learn that the author is a woman; she has a very "masculine" drawing style.

Here's an interesting one, not sure if it's been linked here yet. The Ancient Magus Bride. A skull-headed magician from England purchases a human girl on a slave market and takes her to his home to teach her to become his apprentice. I've only read the first chapter, but it looks well-drawn and spooky, and I like the focus on Western folklore, like with "fey folk" and the like.

Ana Satsujin This is one of those " This is really dark/strange/disturbing, but I can't stop reading it" mangas. Basically, a suicidal shut-in peeps at female serial murderer who murders in her bedroom, and things kind of go on from there. It's pretty messed-up, but strangely compelling.EDIT: Got rid of url -- available on MangaBox. DrSunshine fucked around with this message at 05:19 on Aug 1, 2014 |

I found something that's pretty cool. Ponko of the Stars and Reiko of the Tofu Shop It's an adorable story where two young kids meet a space alien saleswoman who sells them a magic box that can copy anything. It's very  up until the moment when Ponko eats the little brother's soul, turns into a succubus, and then Reiko grows up and leads an armed raid on a Yakuza compound. I have no idea where it's going, but it's the perfect combination of  and  !

Sydnesider posted:This is still Yeah, it's definitely one of my faves! I like how it's ostensibly got maids for the otaku appeal crowd, but over the course of the manga it's really more of a slice of life about the various quirky people living in the neighborhood. I kind of wish it was being released in tankobon format here in the States -- is there any sort of movement from Crunchyroll from licensed simulpubs to physical books? Because I'd totally buy volume releases of Soremachi!

It's more than a little bit questionable... coathat posted:A bunch of cat soup just came out http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Nekojiru-Udon This, however, is one of the most disturbing manga I've ever read -- not in a creepy way! It's somehow enhanced by the fact that it's drawn like a children's cartoon in that abstract, simplified style. It reminds me of this anti child abuse commercial.

I've been really enjoying the latest arc of "Stravaganza". Of course, the art has always been fantastic, but once it stopped being quite so much about  and developed something of a story it's just been fantastic. A shame it updates so infrequently.In the latest chapter, we had some excellent action! The artist really knows how to draw people moving!

It's not creepy to begin with, the characters are adults. But basically if you want to start with an action story that has no fanservice whatsoever, it starts with chapter 8: http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Stravaganza-Isai-no-Hime/Vol-002-Ch-008--Raid?id=223437 The rest are basically just short stories about daily life in the kingdom.

Found a really neat manga Area 51. It's done in that high-contrast Frank Miller/Sin City style, it's about a lady detective with a gun in a town inhabited by all sorts of creepy ghoulies and aliens and legendary things -- Area 51! It's quite stylish-looking and the action is well-drawn, it flows off the page like it was actually animated!
