Which reminds me, I need some recommendations on completed manga. I started Solanin and I'm loving it.

Yes, really good game.

I'd recommend Donten Prism Solar Car. Short manga about college students who want to compete in a solar cars race. Art by Yusuke Murata, that's all you need to know.

And there is a girl in Haikyuu!! (we saw her like 3 times but hey)

Detroit Metal City. The MC wants to sing cheesy pop music, he's a loser. But he ends up being a death metal superstar.
Not sure if this has been scanlated though or available outside of Japan and France.

Edit : Viz Media published it. Give it a shot.

Woo, camping episode. Just as lively as their other adventures. I'm somewhat ok with Iyo's addition to the group. It was mostly just stuff happening but it was a nice and easy chapter. Though, poor class representative for being left out.

How dare you try to insinuate that I want to read a manga about women in tight outfits playing a game that involves jumping around for a reason other than the pure love I have for the wonderful sport that is beach volleyball. I am insulted, good sir! Outraged even!

I really liked the Tiger chapter. The arc about the girl who is having having a mental sickness was brilliant. I disliked the Gildon arc. Such over dramatic crap. And finally Tae showed some of his powers. DAYM.

I need unique characters to get into it.
I'm reading Kuroko's Basket. It's not bad but so far (volume 4) a lot of characters are just so bland. Everything looks so... normal after Eyeshield 21.
Haikyuu!! has great characters, so it's my favorite sports manga at the moment.

Thats what I like about Haikyuu, at least on the main crew, I like just about all of the characters.

Kuroko, beyond just Kagami and Kuroko and two more on Seirin (the average player with the funny face, and the one who has the eyes that can see litrally everywhere), the main crew are kind of average, and half the GoM and one or two of their regular members are interesting, so theres lots of throwaway characters :/

Slam Dunk is awesome, classic manga :d
The art evolution is very fun/weird though, you go from typical shonen to the realistic style of Takehiko Inoue we all know and love.

Himeyuka + Rozione's Story aka Natsukashi Machi no Rozione


So i picked this up on a whim. It's a collection of short stories that focus on shoujo-esque protagonists. Most of them have a similar setup of overcoming some inner conflict and the theme being adolescence.

The last story was the most confusing, but the mangaka admits that it was created during a period of writer's block. Despite some incoherence it was still interesting and over the stories are slightly melancholic in nature, the endings are typically good end material.

Spoilers are out, I think, not sure if verified, so don't get mad if it's fake. Whole chapter is of ichigo screaming and finally he breaks free from the jail after using a new power.

Mizu Sahara art style is so recognizable. Outside of the excellent Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan, the other manga by her that I read is Bus Hashiru which is also a collection of short stories. Definitely check it out if you liked this manga.

edit: Why does she have so many names? Seems like she has a name for each specific genre, so weird.
