WOW! That's a good OP! And a GREAT selection of DL mangas! Great job!

Personally I can vouch for Tomo-chan (hilarious), Mitsuboshi Colors (adorable) and Soredemo (surreal + wacky fun!) being some of my super-faves. I'm sad that Soredemo is ending -- I just want more of the quirky characters!!

Speaking of Mitsuboshi Colors, the most recent chapter is just goddamn hilarious. Go read it if you haven't.

There seems to be like a whole subgenre of just "dudes and their pet cats". The Daily Life With Pet Cat Genre!!

One of which is my favorites among all mangas, and that's Mill. This is a heartwarming and peaceful story of a college guy and his pet bakeneko, a yokai cat named Mill, who can turn into a girl!

I know what you're thinking. ":rolleyes: Yet Another sexy catgirl manga". It's not! Mill actually acts more like an old lady from around the Taisho era (which the main character comments on), and there's no ecchi content at all. It's just a nice, and somewhat wistful or bittersweet, story about a dude and his pet cat who is sometimes a sweet and gentle lady.

Ah, but a native speaker or a non-native speaker? I've had someone argue that the native sentences straight from an ESL translator (whose sentences were not organized in a way that any native speaker would speak) should only be proofread for spelling and minor grammar mistakes. So, instead of rewriting that sentence to something that actually makes sense in english, you should leave it as close to the japanese kanji and katakana as possible*, so as to preserve the author's original text as much as possible.

E: to bring it back to your point, the sentences would then sound like they were spoken by and english speaker ... just not a native one.

:psyduck: But... but that entails localizing it! Preserving an author's text means not mangling it by making it sound wooden and stilted since the author writing it in his natural language is not obviously trying to write in a stilted and wooden way!

Yumi's Cells 183

I like the "A-Team" they've assembled here. With the main cells (EXCEPT HUNGER CELL!) together, Yumi is undefeatable! I kind of wish we could see Woong's cells though. What's going on in there? Did King Pouty take the reins for a while?

Likewise. Good to hear it takes a turn, as fun and cringey as it was, it was getting rather tiresome with no character growth. I think she was just starting to talk to the library girl when I dropped off.

The progress really is very slow, but by the latest chapters, Tomoko actually seems to have friends and peers she hangs out with. So now she's still an awkward goonlord, there's actually been progress in improving from that. I dropped it for a while for the same reasons, but picked it back up out of curiosity, and actually it's kind of nice how subtly she changes.

Aww. That was sudden! Although I guess with its format it was easy to end it anytime, so maybe the creator felt like it was getting stale and time to move on and draw other stuff. Good for him.

Still, that was way longer than a month in the story!!

Fresh off the scanlation presses, Modokidomo

only the first chapter is out, the premise is an honor student just starting Highschool wants to act like a delinquent so people leave him alone and a delinquent tries to act like an honor student because her parents want her to. Each finds out the others secret and a strange friendship starts.

That's certainly an interesting take! It's like "Yankee-kun & Megane-chan" meets "Actually, I'm a...". I like it, it made me chuckle.

Satoko to Nada!

It's a cute page-a-day style webcomic about a japanese exchange student and her roommate at college in the US.
I'm about 1/3 of the way through, and it's been very cute and good the whole time.

I really like this one! It's good, seems informed by actual worldly experience / research, and very cute as an international customs and educational story. Good find!!
