Also, I'd like it if it wasn't an unwieldy long shounen series such as Naruto, Bleach, One Piece or Conan.
If you read Dal-Young then you have to read Legend of Maian and Onihime Vs. Then try Blood Lad and Love Collage.

Unfortunately, I didn't keep track of what I read when I first began reading manga, so I have no idea how many and which series I've read. :(


It's nice to see a new thread!

If by regularly updated you mean weekly, then I I'm going to second the Silver Spoon recommendation and also The World God Only Knows and Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru. Sket Dance as well if you need more comedy stuff.

Man I always forget that Air Gear is still going on. It's like boobs, obama, metaphors to flight/wings/feathers etc, crazy attacks powered by nonsense science.

They do draw some pretty fine boobs though.
I tried to read air gear once my reaction was like this for every panel



Never has there been that much concentration of nonsense any where in the universe at one time, that takes a crazy amount of talent and drugs.

Much thanks to the people who recommended Magi in the last thread; I've been really enjoying it so far. I also went and checked out To Love Ru Darkness, 'cause TLR used to be a (shameful) guilty pleasure of mine years ago, and apparently still is, fuck.

I've also been slowly reading Saturn Apartments since last year, when I picked up the first volume in a small bookstore. Has anyone else read it? It seems a little unknown, but maybe that's just me.

Also stoked for Vertical's omnibus of Osamu Tezuka's Dororo that comes out in a couple weeks.

I bought the first 3 volumes few weeks ago. Only read the first two so far and it's pretty great series. Gonna grab the 4th volume when the 5th one is out in the upcoming months.

I believe flawfuls is a big fan of the series.

Dororo was alright, but not really top tier Tezuka. It had potential, but Tezuka dropped it too early.

I would say it's not particularly popular (which isn't to say it's unpopular-i believe it sells well), but right now it's the current flavor of the month in mangaf, so it's getting a lot of discussion.

Fuck this. No, fuck this shit Akamatsu. Seriously? I was down with you since chapter 1. Hell, I bought volumes 1-21 as they came out just to show support, even though it started going to shit in volume 14. But wow. Just wow. Really!? Who saw last weeks chapter and expected this? I wanted some Love Hina type satisfaction at least but- yeah, I guess not.

I'm surprised people gave a shit who Negi liked. The romance sub-plot was always awful. Negima was only good for big elemental battles with lots of latin words and a bunch of fan-service.

My rage towards the non-resolution of the romance aspects is only a very small fraction of my overall hate. The single most offending thing they did was defeating the Lifemaker and rescuing Nagi OFFSCREEN.
There is no way he ended this series voluntarily, and if he did, I hope he never finds success as a mangaka again.

As much as I expected to be let down, I suppose this wasn't as bad as it could have been. At least it's certainly nowhere near Mx0 or Double Arts levels of disappointing endings... :(

The shounen parts were why I really liked Negima, personally.

And honestly, the chapters leading up to the ending sucked but the ending itself? I really liked it.

You know, considering the past difficulties he's had with editors, he might have ended it intentionally just to avoid being strung along in a direction he didn't want to go.

I think he had beef with Kodansha, considering he dropped his contract with them abruptly last month and asked for the original copies to all of his work back from them.

That would explain the rush to the ending, and the off-screen Lifemaker fight (which I wanted to see, dammit).
