i think people talk about the manga in the general shoujo thread but increased popularity might mean people would prefer a dedicated thread for it. I don't really see any reason to not let people post about the manga either so go wild, but I'm also less familiar with the Manga stuff so the OP that no one reads might be a bit underserving

I'm hoping it's going to be #2 and #3, where they both realized what their relationship means to them in their own way and connect back together.

Yuzu starts doing the climactic shoujo romance run again and immediately collides with Mei going the opposite direction.

I kind of like the idea of Yuzu getting a female suitor this time, maybe going so far as getting a new Gf in the interim.

The roller coaster of emotions will keep on rollering. In my shojo binge, I finally watched Your Name, drat that was really good, and I got recommended Silence Voice to watch after. But I just watched Pop Team Epic instead, because there's way too much drama in 1 day.

I'd actually find that pretty cool, but I can't really imagine Yuzu getting together with anyone we've met. Maybe she'd have to do some online dating first or something. Thisuck posted:MOAR DRAMAZ. The roller coaster of emotions will keep on rollering. Yeah, I've been going through some Shojo stuff after RME mentioned the Romance thread, too. It's a genre I've never even considered getting into, but I kind of want to read more stuff like Citrus. Kimi ni Todoke had some very cool gyarus in it, but the main couple is insufferable. Lovely Complex has a very rude boy in it, and I don't appreciate that his rudeness is treated like something the girl just has to get over. Generally fairly charming, though. I might read more. Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is interesting since the protagonist clearly has some unspecified developmental disorder. I don't really like the attempts at humour, though. Citrus is somehow way more realistic despite being completely ridiculous. It never undercuts its own emotional punch the way this manga does. I also tried reading some Inio Asano again, but that just sends me into a spiral of depression.

Yeah. I never read the manga, but I actually enjoyed A Silent Voice as a film even more than Your Name. I drags a bit in the middle since it's kind of long, but the animation is top notch and it's a very powerful perspective.

Yeah I saw the trailer for it, it definitely looks good. For some reason the main character reminded me of Vegeta of all people, haha. I'm going to watching it this weekend when my schedule frees up more.

I think the movie does an admirable job of removing all the fluff while still getting across the overarching ideas. Some of the characters end up getting the short end of the stick due to these cuts, though. Particularly Mashiba was way more compelling in the manga.

Endorph posted:oh yeah i forgot dynasty scans randomly puts fanart in there too, but also they arent For me at least, it definitely makes a difference that Yuzu and Mei look older. It's like watching Riverdale. The art style in Akuma No Riddle is a lot more cutesy, and that changes what I'm comfortable with. DisDisDis posted:*Stretching out my throwing arm in glass house labeled Dubious Consent Lesbian Incest Anime* As far as I'm concerned, the incest aspect is a contrivance to get those two girls in the same room. I'd probably not be fine with some genuine Game of Thrones-style incest, if it was treated the same way. It's fine, though. We can't all like the same things.  edit: Oh yeah, I'd also not be comfortable with outright Citrus porn. I like that they're clearly sexually attracted, but I don't need to see more than that. It's not important for the story. vvvv And More fucked around with this message at 21:13 on Apr 4, 2018 |

Fun fact about Akuma No Riddle, there's actual NSFW doujins of it made by the series' artist. The series is also officially released by Seven Seas in the west https://www.amazon.com/Akuma-Riddle-Vol-Story-Devil/dp/1626922004 Personally I thought it had an interesting premise that failed to live up its potential.

Yeah, I do wish Dynasty would have some sort of 'don't show any nsfw' filter when reading stuff on there, or at the least just link to a separate page with any fanart or related series instead of just showing it on the page.Dark_Tzitzimine posted:Fun fact about Akuma No Riddle, there's actual NSFW doujins of it made by the series' artist. I liked it, but agree it didn't quite live up to itself. Possibly could have done with a few more chapters with longer fights as they felt a bit rushed (especially the one with the explosive collar and needing to find the code numbers), and the sudden inclusion of cyborgs and magic near the end kind of came out of left field. Also the concept of the guardian's 'master' sending her riddles via the phone was interesting but quickly got ignored, which is weird because that's what the series is named around (I think?).

More or less, but iirc it's a lot more explicit about Haru/Tokaku and Itsuki/Haruki ending up in long term relationships afterwards. And a one-panel of split personality girl being rich cyborg girl's maid.

My biggest issue is that Haru and Tokaku are pretty bland characters that fail to carry the entire story, the rest of the girls are much more interesting characters but as soon as they got development, they get removed from the story. And then you have the developments at the end that are pretty nonsensical and have a palpable rushed feeling. quote:That's kind of surprising. Didn't the anime air before the manga was finished?

And then you have the developments at the end that are pretty nonsensical and have a palpable rushed feeling. Yeah, they're not great. Especially the protagonist is kind of similar to how Mei is portrayed at the start of Citrus, and it makes her a bit unrelatable. I think that's one of Citrus' strong points. Even if you think you've got the character figured out, there's always a little more going on than you can see at first glance.
