Welcome to Mangaf. We're here to discuss manga-related things. Please read the rules regarding spoilers. If you would like recommendations, check out the faq and the list below or ask around!

10 of Some Of The Probably Most Regularly Read Non-Smut Manga, Since No One Agrees What Should Be Here OTE Banner Gen 1

10 Most Regularly Read Sort-Of Smut Manga OTE SmutBanner Gen 1
fQF.png


*See The Nicknames List below for full, proper names of these titles.



Simple rules to follow so we can discuss our favorite manga easily:

1. Sort of guide to how you should post.
In bold, put the name of the series. Then you can go ahead and discuss whatever is on your mind without tags, okay? Make sure there is a space between the bolded name of the series and your text. Here's an example:
Hunter X Hunter 505

It rules and I don't know why!

2. Regarding manga scanlations.
duckroll said:
This is the last time I am ever going to say this. I believe I have mentioned this before. Do not ever, ever direct link to illegal piracy shit. This includes manga releases, manga scanlations, sites and apps which provide such access, etc. STOP DOING IT. This thread is for the discussion of manga, not for the exchange and distribution of illegal material. Don't ask, don't tell. Future offenses will result in normal moderation consequences. Do not reply to this message, just move along. If you have a question, PM me.

So to repeat, DO NOT link to any manga scanlations websites or ask where to read manga.

If you post a panel or page, there should be no logo of any site on it.​

3. Regarding spoilers in this thread.
We will discuss all the manga in one topic with no tags. If you don't want to be spoiled by the chapter as soon as the translation is out, do not come in here. Also, since we are not talking about the anime, you can mention new episodes without tags either since they are always behind or are filler. You should know well enough not to come in here not wanting to be spoiled. Please bold the header of your post as shown in rule 1 to help other posters avoid spoilers.

Again, no spoiler tags for text needed, that is the benefit of coming here.

Caveats:
Leaks do not count as translation or scans. If a translation has not been released yet, spoiler tag any leaks and discussion of the chapter. Leaks should be sourced (a name/location at least, if a link is not possible).

Regarding image spoilers: "Please do not embed major spoiler images, ever."

4. I don't know what manga to read. Can you guys help?
Obviously the best way is to ask in the thread so we can give you recommendations that fit your taste better, but if you don't want to do then there are two excellent threads to check out for a list of good manga. Some good advice: don't ask for recommendations late Tuesday and Wednesday.

If you are a shounenhead and want your manga filled with hot blooded action then read cosmicblizzard's nifty thread of awesome battle manga.

If you prefer seinen manga or non-mainstream manga then read flawfuls thread of awesome lesser known manga.

Other possibilities collected from this thread and link to a list of recommendations/impressions will be found in the second post below.​

5. About reading manga on tablets.
If you are looking for manga-reading tech on tablets, Jintor suggests Mango and suko_32 has more details on his tablet setup.​


The Nicknames List
Sometimes people talk about series with a pet nickname and thereby render themselves completely incomprehensible. Therefore, we have a handy list here that might help with 1) translating the banners above and 2) translating our local maniacs' jargon.
  1. A Town Where You _____ = Kimi no Iru Machi
  2. Aunt Tits = Minamoto-kun Monogatari
  3. Dogsuit Smut = Kanojo wa Sore wo Gaman Dekinai
  4. Food Smut = Shokugeki no Soma
  5. Kingdom Hearts = Nisekoi
  6. KNIM = Kimi no Iru Machi
  7. Not Popular = It's not my fault that I'm not popular!
  8. Rage Town = Kimi no Iru Machi
  9. Smutterfly Effect = Ore ga Doutei wo Sutetara Shinu Ken ni Tsuite (yep)
  10. Super Interesting Darkness = To Love RU Darkness
  11. Swagamoto (or Swagmoto) = Sakamoto desu ga
  12. Wahjah Moe = It's not my fault that I'm not popular!

  68. I was expecting this to just be the volleyball version of Kuroko's Basketball, but this didn't seem to have much of that at all. For Haikyuu!!. From Droplet. (imp)
  69. Picked up the manga for it and so far I'm liking it as much as I enjoyed the show. For Arpeggio of Blue Steel. From killer rin. (imp)

  71. It starts with one of them dying, and the ongoing psychological struggles that some characters have regarding the incident. For Thomas no Shinzo. From AlabastreAizo.

  73. A 4 koma comedy with bit of drama mix in. For Yandere Kanojo. From striferser. (imp)

  77. Best new webcomic pickup I've had in months For Paranatural 01. From Jintor.
  78. Official manga adaptation for Phantom Brave. By, uh, Douman Seiman.

  81. Gave a good view into how Hope Peak's Academy originally was before the start of the games and the two main characters are pretty interesting. For Danganronpa Zero Vol 1. From dakkumauji. (imp)
  82. This one seems like it will be another one of the more emotional BL's simply for the potentially sad story. For Nakanai Hotaru 01. From Dedication Through Light. (imp)
  83. But series did turn a bit happier once the romance route started at the coworkers and now its a pretty fun time. For Dreaming Love 01. From Dedication Through Light. (imp)
  84. Huh, turns out that woman who appeared in the latest chapter of Arachnid has her own series revolving around her life in the Organisation. For Caterpillar 01. From A Huge Battleship. (imp)
  85. I found the concept fun and actually intense for the world and development of magic throughout. For Mokushiroku Arisu Vol 1 (light novel). From Dedication Through Light. (imp)
  86. A girl chases after a flying penguin and awakens her psychic powers of going through things. For Tokyo ESP 01. From dakkumauji. (imp)

If you're wondering, those aren't new banners. They'll be around for a bit more.

inb4 where's XYZ in the banner omg

Edit: Also dakkumauji your post count in last thread was shamefuru
 
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 12

Takeru has the best mindset around and one we need to support, unfortunately with the people in JPN prematurely ending the series, Im his only supporter for life. Content wise at least suggested that being a Tekigousha isnt all fun and games, harsh consequences can happen from overuse, so it may be a bad fate end for all who are blessed with its abilities. Will Takeru burn to a crisp someday or harden? :(

I feel somewhat ashamed that the smut manga I read is so obscure and non-mainstream that it seldom gets translated and never mentioned on GAF yet still doesn't qualify as hentai.

Clearly I'm broken in some respect. At least I have my raws.
 

Angry Grimace

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
New banners are turrible. Nisekoi isn't even remotely smutty and Yamada and Soma have like sexy elements to them, but they certainly don't belong with Aunt Tits and Super Interesting Darkness.

Also, it should be |OTP|
 
Flow (Reflux) 33

Jaggi looks like it could be fun human sized, though I hope it doesnt get interrupted as the way the writer has the loose boards and stuff going on underground, makes it seem like an easy way to have things happen and we don't see the full game go on. Additionally its not like that hasnt happened before in the past arc with the games.

Dinner time interactions, kicking, poking, joking was funny. Those two best two.

After basically not reading Manga at all last thread, I am resolving to make the wall of shame this thread. I hope there is enough smut out there to sate my appetite!

Daidai wa, Hantoumei ni Nidonesuru Ch. 1
dF6HkB8.jpg

The bizarre everyday life stories of the citizens of a coastal port town.
Another series by ABE Youichi (Chimoguri Ringo to Kingyobachi Otoko).

Really enjoyed what's been translated of Chimoguri and WOW what an introductory chapter for this. Seems like an episodic series based on the chapter and summary. Very interesting story, almost reminds me of a Dowman Sayman short yet more fleshed out. Really hope to see more of this translated.

Well damn, I need to read this now. Sounds amazing in every way.
 
Why is Rage Town still here? Do we really need it for the next 200/400 pages?

Lets remove it for a real smut manga such as History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi in which the volume covers will show enough.
