Yeah I was hoping for a badass shounen/seinen series or something
Think Soma. It's mostly shonen battles between girls in the game settings, and seeing the girl orgasm after opening her lock veeeery slowly (think chapter-long lock opening, with metaphors and hallucinations) is the reader's reward after the arc.
 
The cabinets can all turn into girls. Each girl's personality and powers are symbolic of the game.

It turns out the OP made a childhood promise to each girl and all the girls gave him the keys to their coin safes.

The keys are scattered across Japan's different arcades, and OP and girls must beat the games to get the keys back and amass the fortune hidden inside the girls slash cabinets slash both.

However the games in the other arcades are all girls too. The girls from OP's arcade must battle the girls from the other arcades to get the keys back, and also convert the girls to OP's arcade to expand it and take over Japan.

Each sentence is a twist revealed after 100 chapters of solcom cuteness
The fact that this seems like a decent manga plot to me makes me feel strange.
In my pants.
Just as the customers insert a coin in, it changes into a girl.
Hilarity ensues.
*Random dude puts coin in*
"Ooooooogh~"
"man what the fuck"

whenever customers try to play games

the game plays them

it's up to Joey Joeslot, arcade walker extraordinaire, to beat the machines and rescue the customers... who are all cute girls in various states of undress so the manga doesn't get cancelled after fifteen chapters.

Duction Man Overall thoughts (ch1-19)

The latest talent and his situation is the most interesting part of this series so far. The romance drama drags it down so far and I had liked how quick they were to swat it down on his side, although I don't think it'll be the same on her side. This is a setting that I've barely seen (nearly at all), with the only thing similar that I can recall is
the arc in Sun-Ken Rock
so it has that going for it.

Finishing chapter 19 I was looking forward to seeing what happened next with Nagai. So long as this series keeps bringing in interesting talent and situations I'll look forward to it.

To be a bit more serious, copying Shinya Shokudo's tone and format would probably work for a game center-focused work. A young man inherits old machines, opens it up, and the story is really about the various customers that come in and play.

Yakuza, Game Girls, Repeat Customers, oh my!

Don't forget the inheritance and debt dude.

This is something that I would hell out read/watch

a story following icycalm and his nietzschean struggle to preserve superior arcade culture against the console gaming content tourist proles
 
Final Fantasy XII - Day Tripper

An one shot about the leading character and I guess love interest? or something as they go into a slime filled cave for a hunt.

Shidoshi presents a compelling argument

The gaijin trying to bring the retro Japanese arcade back to life. The tech-savvy hikikimori hired to fix the machines up. The cute girl staff member who secretly is an expert gamer. The girlfriend's grandmother who always proclaims that the arcade will fail—but who, secretly, is rooting for you. Manga, anime, J-drama, it could be anything and everything!

So now we're seeing the origin of Rukh, but it's black Rukh. How interesting. Hopefully this arc is over soon.

Also, damn Solomon and Sheba got busy. I have a bad feeling she's going to die or something now.
 
Aku no Hana end

So what we've learned is Nakamura may have some form of agnosia or could even be Schizophrenic. Then it ends...

I guess... I want a full retelling from Nakamura's perspective? Not really sure what I'm supposed to get out of this ending beyond that.

Did we need to wait until the end to know that? Lol

I feel like the new Godzilla is a representation of an average shounen arc. Solid beginning, middle gets bogged down by shitty character interaction and those characters making terrible decisions, then ends with a battle.

All that plot, i am not surprised if someone actually decide to make LN out of it, It could become best seller with multiple adaptation.

This sound really great.


There are many, many porn games.
Lewdness await!

Aku no Hana end

Everything goes full circle.

I been trying to get in to new genre of manga. So I ask my friend some recommendations, he told me to read Another. I never read a Horror based Manga, my body was not ready for all those deaths . That ending was crazy

You should read the most horrifying horror manga ever written, Fourteen.

... Then what's the bloody point?

Well, there's still an OK amount to be fair. Needs more though.

Is Godzilla 2014 like the Micheal Bay Transformers movies with humans we don't give a shit about?

Harsh, but kinda.

I think this manga finally revealed itself to actually be a horror manga.

Yeah, the latest talent's arc is probably my favorite in the whole manga. I didn't really like the romance either, so you're not alone on that. Unfortunately, since this is the third volume and there are only four volumes total, I doubt we're going to get any new talent at this rate. :(

Speaking of Haikyuu I wonder if Karasuno will get new players soon... Though I guess we'll see Yamaguchi becoming a regular if the latest chapters are anything to go by.
