Someone picked up the sequel to one of my favorite Mahjong Manga series: The legend of Koizumi with a follow up Princess of Zipang. This time our protagonist is a schoolgirl descendant from emperor Hirohito. For a series that had the Prime Minister fighting Nazi's and the Pope, we are off to a good start with the first challenger, Donald J. Trump.  Foxhound posted:So I finished Biomeat, since it looked like the one that would be easiest to digest of the horror mangas recommended earlier.

This is the kind of series you have to read with your tongue firmly in your cheek as it's essentially the Dragon Ball of tile based games. And you don't necessarily have to know how to play mahjong to enjoy it, but knowing the Yakuman (hands) lets you get a better idea of how good a hand really is. But regardless of how you feel about various politicians nobody is off limits for showing up or sticking around. But if there is one mistake the President made this time, it was challenging the main character who hasn't yet awakened to their true potential. That's never a good idea. Serge Painsbourg posted:No such luck. The author is a hardcore Japanese nationalist. Trump's portrayed as a buffoon, but a talented mahjong player, which is the most important thing for a world leader to be in this manga.   But in general between glorifying Japanese politicians, and assembling a super team of international leaders this series is just plain fun. edit: And I just noticed that's an Attack on Titan reference as well.

Round Two of Shuumatsu no Valkyrie is about to start and it's one hell of a matchup. The original sinner, the manliest of men, the nudist survivalist...Adam vs  And that little man looks calm and confident. I'd love to post the entire chapter because this series completely nails the pre-match hype for both of these fighters over the last two chapters. But I will leave with Zeus doing his best Hulk Hogan impersonation.

Mikl posted:27: Madarame and Sasahara meet for drinks, Madarame tells Sasahara what he did and Sasahara tells him he's an idiot. Madarame tries to justify himself by saying "Well the situation isn't really different from yours, it's a triangle either way" only for Sasahara to reply "no, in my case everyone's on the level. You cheated." (This makes it explicit that Sasahara, Ogiue, and Sue are all in a relationship together. Yay, poly relationsips.) Madarame keeps trying to justify himself, and Sasahara keeps telling him "no, you cheated, stop trying to find excuses, now let's think how we can solve this without exploding your marriage." quote:This is all for now, sorry. I'll be sure to update with more horrible details when new chapters come out.

Imagine my surprise when I'm looking through chapter releases and find that after 4 years someone has not only picked up Kouya ni Kemomo Doukokusu But they have released an entire volume in the last three weeks. That literally doubles the number of chapters the series had translated. I've only ever seen some old raws of the series so getting higher resolution scans and an actual translation are great. The premise is a man by the name of Shuhei Mikado wakes up in a research lab with no memories, and the immediate issue of someone trying to break him out, and a large dog-like monster coming to eat his brains. The reason is because he's the 12th and last in an experimental line of super soldiers injected with a virus that alters the brain and after 1 month mutates the body. Mikado having the perfected D-2 strain while the other eleven have the D-1 and bears the codename Kumbhira, one of Buddha's 12 generals. The story is drenched in Buddhist and South American mythology and is a blend of Science Fiction and Shamanism. And it's got a dream team of Itou Sei doing the art, and and this is him at his best. With veteran sci-fi writer Yumemakura Baku at the helm writing this story. Some pictures from Volume 2 which introduces another test subject codename: Kimnara. The rooster general.    This is going to be a good one.

New Shuumatsu no Valkyrie continues to be great Adam just worked over Zeus thanks to magic eyes and hasn't lost his perpetual chill. Can this lone nudist give Humanity it's first 'W'?  Ytlaya posted:This series owns, thanks for linking it. The art is extremely good, and I'm really curious to see the character designs of the other animal soldier people. Itou Sei's an artist I discovered a couple years back and his art is really amazing. I think the Doukosu soldier designs to come are overall pretty good. There's one standout character for they but he won't show up for a while.

nerdz posted:I kept skipping over nachun/nagun because of the cover art but drat the sci-fi premise of it is super cool and refreshing to me. It's super weird at times, though. Has anyone else read it? First chapter was interesting. Building an AI based on dolphin behavior is a good plot hook, MC is a scummy though. Will definitely keep going with it. There's also another chapter of Shuumatsu no Valkyrie for anyone actually reading it. Adam turned out to be the best father any of us could have asked for.

Forgot to mention but there was a new chapter of Kouya ni Kemono. Andira continues to entertain although He's supposed to be the Rabbit General, but he has the ability to control Rodents and Bats, neither of which are in the same family as Rabbits. Oh well, I'm not going to get super scientific in my sci-fi story about genetic super soldiers.Sharkopath posted:Don't make me bring out the ultraviolent shoujo horror again, I'm warning you!!

Hypocrisy posted:Shuumatsu no Valkyrie chapter 12.  That was really satisfying to read. Adam dying here doesn't hurt as much seeing as it's going to be a banner that everyone can unite under. And he went out like a champ, pummeling Zeus while Blind and not even death stopped his fists. Even the God's can't say anything bad about this fight. Best father, a simple man, just wanted to help his kids. Never once did Zeus put him on his knees  UnderFreddy posted:Kinda fearing it's gonna turn out to be just the Japanese humans winning their fights. Which would be pretty sad and boring There are only 4 japanese people in the brackets, so even if all 4 of them win there would be 3 other people humanity needs to avoid extinction. Not that I actually expect all 4 japanese representatives to win

I like how the only way this even works is to assume that not a single other swordsman in all of history decided to continue training after their death. Sasaki is the only guy who felt the need to get better and achieve enlightenment because he's a loser I guess?

That Works posted:Also the whole sister but not really sister / sex thing I'm a bit confused about how this was a problem when the first chapter was the main character's biological sister propositioning him for sex and outright stated cannibalism. Fire Punch was definitely a messed up ride through and thru, I'd heard it mentioned that the writer set out to make each volume different in tone and structure from the previous and it shows in how scattered the writing is and how abruptly some transitions happen. But man was it not a crazy ride that kept me coming back to see what would happen next. I also miss the underwear wearing helmet fighter who winds up being a core member of Agni's posse for a while. He was a cool streaker.

That Works posted:I don't really see what's confusing about that. People are mentioning stuff that happened in later volumes when the crazy train started with chapter 1. I'm not sure what the discussion of Firepunch was like here as I don't remember participating on this forum but I'm trying to figure out when and where posters started to draw the line with regards to the objectionable subject matter the story has. Because unlike Chainsaw Man, Fire Punch was a lot more edgy in it's opening volume what with the Dog whisperer and all. By comparison Denji's adventures to get laid are tame and the story feels more like it could fit into the Dorohedoro universe than anything else.

Being able to suss out your opponents fighting capability through mental reconstructions of their supposed combat style because of how they walk is bullshit...the best kind of bullshit. Looks like best old swordsman made Poseidon lose his godly demeanor as expected.

Feels like a dog's age but there's a new chapter of Shiori Experience    Shiori continues to be an incredibly relatable character. I'm really hoping that the homicidal music producer doesn't gently caress things up for her. Bonus Anime Curt Kobain being moe for Jimmi-san

Got a full volume of Voices of the dead The ability to jump between unnerving setups and comedy payoffs will forever be the biggest strength of this series. Lil Slugger showing up to defuse the the hostage situation while the MC is tripping on drugs was amazing payoff for the setup.  Looking up to Magical Girls continues to be uncomfortable but I can't look away. Main character has been put on a bad path and I'm curious to see how this gets resolved.

Serge Painsbourg posted:A Shuumatsu no Valkyrie omake: I knew all those series except the one the traitor scum belonged too. Couldn't help but also notice he had Sasaki's face towards the end. I really think that Hercules is going to lose this, they keep hammering home that he's this immovable wall of Justice and willpower and it feels like the most logical outcome is for Jack to crack that mindset thoroughly. But at the same time I feel like if Jack does do that he'll meet a swift end himself to an enraged Hercules.

Yak of Wrath posted:Adou is a cyberpunk with a promising initial two chapters, excellent worldbuilding environmental world building too Two things I noticed: I would assume this artist was influenced by western art styules because right away his panels and composition felt more like a comic book despite the characters looking like they came from Akira. And when things kicked off they kicked off with a bang. This was an aggressively good first chapter. Hypocrisy posted:Hella mean of you to make me like a manga whose last chapter was translated 6 months ago. What's predictable is that Hercules' sense of justice did cause him to vote against humanity, but he'd previously negotiated that humans would not be harmed by the gods and that lasted for 4000 years but these votes happen at regular intervals. When did this become ok to him? The bit about descending to Godhood is also an ominous line.

Serge Painsbourg posted:New Shuumatsu, heroes and evildoers. There are so many good moments with Jack this chapter. Keeping with the idea that every match has a major theme connecting the two fighters, Jack being the inverse of Hercules is the right direction. Not being phased by a dislocated shoulder and being slammed into a wall at high force because it's what his art demands is unsettling and weirdly inspiring. Him being positively erect at being able to set up Herc for whatever disaster Jack has in mind has me eager to see what his deal is. Magic eye, must mean that Jack has killed because he delights on the twisting of the soul during the last moments of his victims. And the brighter the soul, the darker the distortion.

mangadex may be down, but that doesn't mean we don't get more Hercules vs Jack London Bridges broken down and Jack's past is tragic in a twisted manner. But how in the heck did he pull off that feat of severing Herc's arms? micro fillaments of some kind on the clock?
