Yeah, the series made me think a lot more I guess. Actually a big part of the series is how we see others and how others see us. Punpun himself is the poster child for this. Though it is super messed up what his aunt did, combined with his troubles it was going to happen. Aiko herself isn't a bad person at all, she is a person, nothing less nothing more.

Just saw this interview with Toshio Maeda released by the Italian manga site I check.
I'm posting it here because, while it is done by Italian people and as such they talk in Italian, Toshio Maeda answers in English and the questions are also given to him in English, so those of you that might be interested in what he has to say can follow it.

nice, thanks for the heads-up
What could Japan do to globalize anime and manga digitally?

Oh, good job Zweizer lol. That's one way to get people interested.
I just realized that I need to start on Solanin. I ended up reading A Girl by the Sea instead which I didn't like too much. The scale of it wasn't that large, which is fine, but the ending to that manga was really weird.
Edit: Nice save on editing the watermark lol
go with a classic

Thanks for these suggestions guys! This should keep me busy for a while.
I've read Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun (loved it) and following Horimiya and Taiyou no Ie. I'll start with the one shots and work my way up.

My Hero Academia is only 29 chapters now, much shorter. You'll get it done in a weekend and be caught up.
Buuuut you should still read One Piece.

Minamoto-kun Monogatari 68 - 98
Third girl's definitely been easiest target for Terumi so far. Still liked Aoi more than Hanada, and I almost thought somehow the girl from Terumi's middle school would be third girl, but it wasn't. Only there for Terumi to deal with his trauma from back then.
Looking forward to seeing the fourth girl in action.

This is one of the best and most emotional growing up stories I've read in a manga which is odd considering the protagonist and his family. Thanks for telling me about this series MangaGAF.

I'm not even joking when I suggest not mentioning "aunt tits" anywhere that isn't this thread. I couldn't stop you guys from mentioning it in here constnatly, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if you get banned if you try and convince people in OT proper to read a softcore porn rag about a dude sucking his blood related aunt's tits.

Toyohisa is really such a great protagonist. Hell, Nobunaga and Yoichi are great too. I'm really liking the mix of great and bloody action scenes and silly comedy scenes and how they easily shift from one to the other.
Nice to see more historical characters appear. It's pretty interesting to see all of them so far are their correct genders!

It would also be nice if Aunt Tits was actually googleable without getting an eyeful of "HOT BIG BOOBS AUNT JERKS NEPHEW".
This is the ONLY place on the internet that actually calls it Aunt Tits.
yeah we should call it
the manga on how to pick up girls based on a historical standpoint.
that said i googled aunt tits and lmao

Damn, Terra Formars got pounded hard on that off-topic thread.
Didn't realize it's such a hated piece of work. I find it entertaining to read.

It doesn't really make a good first impression.
Personally I still think the cockroach designs are more based on Neanderthal or Cromagnon but there's no way I'm going to defend it. Same with the "perfect human being" and Chinese shit.
I also recall there are two German members named Adolf and Eva which is just silly
I don't really know why I'm even still reading it, I can only remember one character's name (Michelle) which is bad even for me and I don't actually think it's all that enjoyable. It's just habit I guess, it doesn't really take long to read an entire volume when one comes out.

Hahaha well, I suppose I am just a sucker for a manga with high body-count, where the main guy's girlfriend got killed right at the 1st chapter. That shit was crazy.
It's more entertaining to me than Gantz, so far. At least in TF we don't get tears and TAE-CHAN every 5 seconds.

It's kinda entertaining in a SyFy schlocky way but I really have no idea how it got so popular
In any case it's something that will probably never catch on here, when the anime was starting up people were saying it would be the next Attack on Titan and that didn't happen.
I'm almost caught up to Aunt Tits, how long is this going to be? 150 chapters and Terumi hasn't really conquered any of the girls (is he going to cycle back, or only for the cousin?) and it's only half way through, if some of the other girls like the middle school bully, the artist and the Aunt aren't going to count which I don't really believe. I guess I could just look up the Genji Monogatari but that'd spoil the fun, I already know a lot about Kingdom's overarching plot from that sort of thing.

The next Attack on Titan will probably be something like Seraph of the End

I usually shrug off OTs "they're racists" schlock since they tend to view everything through USA coloured lenses, but...
That's just too blatant, :lol

I just like the non-roach character designs, the creative abilities and the fights. There's some actual good choreography and damn good power explanations, which I've always been a sucker for. Utilizing bugs when determining that stuff is such a cool concept.
Also why Arachnid is totally boss.

This arc wrapped better than I expected, it's nice to see how the author handled the rivalry of the trio
Also new arc does will look fun. Adding a familiar yet not well known character seems to hyped me the most.
But, why does every customer from that restaurant bring case and bags? lol

Oukoku Game 01-16
Supernatural death game between high school students. Each group of seven forms a Kingdom with three roles: one King, three Aristocrats, three Plebeians, with each being able to completely order around those of a lower standing. Roles are randomized every midnight, and the dynamics between each kingdom, at least internally, is chaotic, as expected. A lot of what happens is pretty interesting, albeit somewhat predictable. Character dynamics play a big role in this, as all the protagonists don't really see eye-to-eye, and it muddles even more when they have to deal with other kingdoms. I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes in later chapters.

But Seraph of the End is so generic, like I couldn't get past the first few chapters. At least Attack on Titain's premise and begining was actually great, but Seraph of the End is like combining all the cliches you can think of in one whole thing. It's pretty mediocre and the only thing good about it is the art.
Man if this series gets as popular as Attack on Titan the world is truly dead. 😌

Boku no Hero Academia 1-15
Figured it's getting close to a "now or never" in terms of chapter count, so I decided to take the plunge. It's pretty good, and by far the best part are the color cover pages that are in the style of American comic books.
Frog Girl is prime waifu material as well, I guess

From The New World Volume 7 [END]
I didn't like the little skips toward the end (during Squealer's trial, for example, or when Satoru is going to reveal the truth about the morph rats and what he says is skipped over only to be revealed some pages letter in a flashback as Saki is wondering if Squealer knew the truth). some of them work with the narration, some others feel a bit cheap.
The manga had a lot of yuri fanservice that could have been shortened without losing much but it didn't really cheapen the worth of story. In a way it helped to also highlight how the tampering with the youngster still left them a bit fucked up, though one could also argue that maybe it wasn't needed. Still, it was nice eyecandy.
I never realized, while watching the anime, that Maria and Mamoru's child was a boy. The long hair and cute face had me believe he was a she. Felt like a surprise actually.
I really disliked Squealer watching the anime, but after reading the manga, I felt like I could understand him a bit more. He did despicable things but then, which person doesn't commit despicable things during revolution? As usual, it's the winner that decides who's wrong and who's right (and in this case it's even more true because of the past as well). Squealer lost, so he was in the wrong, but I have to admire the sort of dignity he still kept while proclaiming I'm neither an animal nor your slave! We are human. Did he know the truth? I think he just understood it, more than knowing it.
I didn't completely get the last page. Is Saki speaking to me, the reader? Is the person taking up her manuscript supposed to be me, the reader? I'm not sure, but it's a nice way to conclude I guess. Personally I prefer it when an end isn't too open, but I'm gonna be OK with this.
The reunion between ghost Maria/Mamoru and their son was great.

Pretty great second story in this anthology. Sure its not as crazy as the earlier folks in their breeding pen but its a really good stalker type story that has a great and fun outcome. Yoshimune is really attractive and I love that he is willing to go this far for a friend. I also love their final big scene. He looked incredible.

Terraformars manga is incredible and the anime is pretty good since animated Marcos and Alex K Stewart gave it the best moments. Ah and KENN voiced Alex K Stewart.
But I find much of the series entertaining parts are just in the human v human affairs. Roaches were good for the first arc or so but I think they are kind of limited in their importance. They dont exhibit the human condition so they are pretty boring after awhile. I think they will only get spiced up if we ever get an arc in which they leave Mars and come to Earth.
