It looks like there are going to be more frequent chapter releases for Shiori Experience going into the future. Hopefully that means more than one chapter every 6 months. And our Resident musical stand user is eventually going to run afoul the true villain of this story; Mafia-style Producer who wants to put together the greatest band ever at any costPringleCreamEgg posted:Because I dislocated my knee and haven't been at work I've been spending time reading random poo poo and I stumbled on Gleipnir and I can't help but like it even though it's pretty trash. Just the concept of dude transforms into mech and girl goes inside him cause he's a pussy and she fights by wearing him is dumb and weird enough to make me interested, and the actual plot is interesting. It's also basically porn though cause girls just love being naked in this series. But the action is good? Overall I'd say it's enjoyable trash. I enjoy Gleipnir but the most recent chapters have just been weird for me. Feels like we became a different story and even the cast has largely changed. It also doesn't help that now I'm trying to parse things through spanish because the english translators dropped it out of boredom.

Speaking of Flower Knight; he creator successfully ran a kickstarter to get 6 of the chapters translated to english and I think he also intends to use the funds to get the 7th and 8th chapters translated as well.

I'm still not quite sure how I felt about the last volume of Pluto. It's not bad by any stretch of the imagination but I feel like there should have been more chapters to fill it out a bit more. Maybe enough for a 9th volume.

Dorohedoro is one of the few Manga I would say is exhaustsing to binge because around the blue moon festival things get really compact with plot lines that are happening and it only gets denser from there. I am curious if it will actually end in 3 chapters because Dorohedoro has been ending for like two years now.

Charlz Guybon posted:Goblin Slayer is pretty drat good and it opens up with almost the whole party getting raped or eaten. Goblin slayer starts off with a really lazy way of showing basic competency on the part of the main character by having the first party die because they were literally untrained and way too overconfident. The rape was purely shock value to draw attention to the story itself and it's dropped relatively early in the first volume in favor of a more standard approach to fantasy world + adventurer guild stories. I really don't know if I'd say it's pretty drat good after all that either.

Charlz Guybon posted:While it's not shown on a screen much after the first couple of chapters I wouldn't really call it dropped. It's baked into the background of the setting. It's how the goblins reproduce. The possibility of getting raped or eaten alive hangs over every character that interacts with goblins in any way, even the characters who are S teir and usually fight dragons. It's dropped in the sense that it's not a plot point worth talking about. And even then if the author did it would just call into question why Goblins aren't considered a bigger threat since they would primarily contest humanity as a whole. I never bought the whole "goblins are less important than Liches" angle because the main setting of the story is so far divorced from all those other, bigger threats, that goblins should basically be public enemy #1. The writer wants me to believe it's just the God's playing D&D, but no game master I know would have a setting as contrived as this one.

Charlz Guybon posted:The point of it is that the 15 year old girl running around in the background slaying demon lords is who most books would be focusing on as the main character, but they're the 1% of the 1%. There are so many manga and LN being published these days where a totally overpowered progtagonists runs roughshod over a fantasy world. But, for the vast, vast majority of their inhabitants a medieval fantasy world sucks rear end, and Goblin Slayer follows those folks around. The author is basically working the GRRM angle.
There are more I could consider but the end result of these questions is a story where it's frustrating to think about how the fictional world operates because it's missing any underlying logic to it. Not exactly good storytelling and it's just another example of an incredibly mediocre story getting pushed to the forefront (with two manga adaptations and an upcoming anime).

Charlz Guybon posted:Thats like asking why the Imperium is so stupid. They always letting feral ork infestations get out of control and they turn into sector shattering Waaaghs. It's because the Imperium is fighting the forces of chaos, the tyrannids, the necrons, already established ork empires etc which are all worse. quote:The Goblins are civilization destroying menace and everything else running around the world is worse. IIRC the novels imply the world has been destroyed before, but the Gods just recreate it to keep playing the game. quote:We see the guild subsidize payment when the goblin army marches on the cow girls farm. Plenty of higher ranked adventures signed up because the money made the danger worth while. It's not a good setting dude. ------------------------------------------ All that being said: there is a new chapter of Kumika no Mikaku so if you're down for a rom-com with aliens learning about the wonders of earth food it's worth a look.

Elf-san wa Yaserarenai is the name. It also got picked up by Seven Seas for an official english translation under the title Plus-Sized Elf. The series is pretty funny and Dark elf is best girl.

For anyone still trying to parse what the hell is going on in Gleipnir, we got two more chapters and now there's a 100 coin dude just camping the alien ship crash site with his stand. This more or less ties off the mountain expedition and it's been an interesting journey because it feels like not much happened even though a lot of stuff kind of happened. I'd heard this series was getting picked up by Yenpress and I'm honestly confused by that decision. It's not terrible but I don't think it really grabs the reader that well. Ccs posted:Also Dorohedoro is the only manga I have to binge every time I want to catch up with a bunch of new chapters cause the plot is so weird and full of characters. Keeping track of who and where Kaiman is and which characters are alive and dead and alive and the timelines and flashbacks, etc etc.

Kirishima really bothers me because he always looks one word away from murdering anyone nearby him. And after this chapter I'm worried he's going to either kill or have shouma killed. This would be an example of a male Yandere correct?

We got not one, but two chapters of Shiori Experience. It's the partnership only fiction can bring; Jimmi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain and it's a magical thing to read.

Ytlaya posted:Cobain and Hendrix is actually a really weird match-up that wouldn't make much sense in reality, to be honest. It's the one problem I have with this series because it's hard to imagine the sound of things and then synch it up to to the action of the comic. Worked best in the chapter where the bassist was entering a singing competition since the lyrics are spelled out in the margins so listening to the song gave me a better sense of the flow of things. These two chapters in the jam session just left me confused since I am familiar with both songs, but nothing about them really clicks in my head.

Plutonis posted:I read Goblin Slayer for the Goblin Slaying It's fascinating. he Light novel is still ongoing, an anime is around the corner and like 3 spin-off manga series are running concurrently and all of them getting the yenpress treatment. I half expect a mobile game or something to come out now. It just blows my mind that something so mediocre is doing so well.

 Keyman has received it's final updates and with that the story comes to a close. It's really good and the last volume is a rollercoaster of things happening capped off with a good ending for all. Except Walter. And I guess Butler succeeded in finally getting back to God if only to be dissolved back into the ether. It's not often that a manga has a good ending to match the rest of the runs quality. Also:  I'm not going to question how Alex and Sally were able to have kids. Not that whichever of them was impotent/barren was restored, but just the sheer logistics of a T-rex and catwoman boning down. At least their kids are healthy and happy in the future.  I'd definitely give this series a read if you haven't already.

I was going to warn you that they very much kept true to the manga and the internet caught fire. Doubly so because Crunchy Roll didn't put a content advisory warning so a lot of people walked into this series thinking it was going to be another fantasy series and goblin rape instead.

Fabricated posted:The big excuse for it is that all of the high-level adventurers are off fighting in some gigantic war against the generic "Demon King" thing. So really, the story fails to make anything but goblins a serious threat to the frontier which is why just treating goblins like a minor pest makes no sense. If they had actual dragons and stuff running around as well it would prove the claim. Snooze Cruise posted:Giving something credit for a simple high concept idea never really makes sense to me. Story concepts are such a dime a dozen process, and involves very little talent. The real talent lies in realizing a concept.

There is a list of the tournament fighters in no particular order Humans:
Gods
Not going to lie, comic doesn't look too interesting but it's already better than Fate because it hasn't arbitrarily genderswapped anyone and I can't imagine this turning into some pseudo-harem series. It's no Shin Megami Tensei but I'll stick around to see if the white death gets a good fight.

Story about treating a female knight got a new chapter. Still funny, still no forward progress.  Also found another series called 'The Bones of an Invisible Person about a young girl who discovers she has the ability to become invisible. Years later she uses this power to Kill her abusive father in the streets So yeah, not sure where this is going but that's a hell of an opening act.

And if you liked Hakaiju I would recommend Biomeat: Nectar as it's a similar brand of schlock horror. Souboutei Must Be Destroyed is also a good horror series however the translations stalled out a couple weeks ago and it's continuation is uncertain.
