 Is it cool to post single pictures from otherwise terrible series like people did from time to time last thread or are we trying to avoid that now? Either way I'll start with a great manga that, while probably somewhat well known, is much overshadowed by the creator's next work.  Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro made by the same person as Assassination Classroom. It's part mystery, part shounen battle manga.

There was the first time I looked but he seems to have edited it out.  Maybe he was leeching or something. Anyways, one of my favorites from the last thread was the all too short Hoshi no Ponko to Toufuya Reiko  though I dislike that trope of "well, it's a clone of someone so it's just as good right? e: Oh yeah note there's a few NWS pages in it.

Bokurano in a nutshell:  massivee ol' spoilershttp://i7.mangareader.net/bokurano/60/bokurano-277537.jpg Watch the anime afterwards, it's slightly (SLIGHTLY) less depressing. The light novels aren't really worth tracking down, they're not as good as the anime/manga and most of the 'translations' floating around are completely wrong. I think it's the only manga I've read where I thought "man I wish the ending pulled a deus ex machina." Cuntellectual fucked around with this message at 00:50 on Sep 19, 2015 |

HenryEx posted:Bitter Change is v. good, and the only worthwhile body swap manga i've ever found. I only have two small problems with it. It's really good but I kinda would've liked it more if the focus was spread on the two protagonists a bit more instead of 'dude solves problems'. Still like it, though.

Shisunki Bitter Change: Premise is, elementry school boy and girl swap bodies after the boy falls out of a tree onto the girl. Wait don't leave there's more. What makes it interesting is the fact that they try to swap back, but... They can't. They end up having to (as of the start of the very first page) live as their new selves for going on 3 years, in a part of growing up which is... Difficult for a lot of people, even when that's not something you have to worry about.    There's no fanservice in it, and the characters are mostly fairly interesting. If there's one complaint I have about the series itself, it's that beyond the main core characters, it doesn't really develop any side characters. Note: the translator adds a ~hilarious~ (read: creepy) fake translation page to the end of some chapters. That doesn't reflect on the series itself, though. It's good.

Hellsau posted:I'd be fine with Tomo realizing that Jun is kind of an idiot and dropping his rear end and the comic turning into Teppu. Speaking of which, Teppu's over, and I finished it. It's good. The ending is kind of hard to quantify because it is basically perfect for the series but also not a 'good ending' per say. But the protagonist is basically the villain in a normal manga, so hey.

Also from things I've finally read that I was suggested to read by this thread: Ratman is so good, guys.MattTheDoctor posted:As sad as that is, that ending was absolutely fantastic to me. Something about it has just stuck with me. One hell of a read. It's a pretty good ending for the series, I agree. The way she basically walks away having learned absolutely nothing at all is so fitting.

I feel like I shouldn't be surprised that it got a show, but somehow I am. Also I think there is an anime recommendation thread. There was at one point. Edit: I love you so I must kill you is amazing simply for how serious it seems to take itself despite being absolutely absurd on every level.

IB: Instant Bullet Various misanthropes, social outcasts, and losers get a magic power revolving around a single concept. A bit of teen angst and fighting as well as a lot of philosophizing about mortality and the nature of good and evil occur. It's pretty short; 25 chapters. The author ended it then due to not wanting to get too ambitious and have it drag on too long for his first original work. He also made Kaguya wants to be confessed to, which I think showed up here before.

Schubalts posted:Honzuki no Gekokujou is another of those "reincarnated in another world" stories, except it's one of the few good ones that isn't about the main character being a god-king who never fails at anything. This is probably the first entry in that genre worth reading (other than maybe Grimgar i guess). Anyways, I wonder if they're going to brush over the 'apparently her body belonged to someone else' thing, or if that was just a misunderstanding on the protagonist's part...

What is the actual redeeming part of Overlord, all it seemed to me was a boring invincible protagonist who was surrounded by people who just loved how great he was. Invincible heroes and villains are basically always boring. The only exceptions I can think of offhand are Dr. Manhattan (who wasn't really a hero or villain by the point of Watchmen anyways), and Saitama because One-Punch Man. In fact, I don't even think Saitama or Dr. Manhattan is a straight comparison to the skeleton dude from Overlord because they get some actual flaws (sort-of). Dr. Manhattan is completely apathetic and has lost touch with humanity, while Saitama gets zero respect from basically anyone other than Genos and King.
