Sudden Yuri is the best yuri.

This thread is only known for smut and waifu battles. Kappa? I'm honestly not sure so the Kappa is questionable.

Catching up to Terraformars, this actually not bad.


I like the somewhat resembling sport title structure with plenty of backstory of various character.

Was looking for a fighting shounen with good fights, and little fluff. I got a lot of recommendations for Nanatsu no Taizai. It's ok.

I know I should be checking out Takahashi Hiroshi stuff.

You read one, you read them all. That's how I feel about him.

What kind of fighting shounen do you like? I thought the sense of scale and illustrations of fight scenes in Nanatsu are good but the fight sequences itself is often drawn out and haphazardly done.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
Re:Monster

I'm really liking this manga. It's working with some of my most favorite plot elements including a competent protagonist, character growth and RPG elements.

EDIT: It really makes me wish someone mixed Minecraft, Ultima, and Elder Scrolls into one game :(

I feel the same way about the MMO-esque parts at the start until the orgy and out of hand sexual fantasies that occur later. I just can't help but to see it as a teenager wet dream materializing in this light novel.

I also dislike the excessive focus on its first person narration.

It does seem that way, I'd still like to check em out. I do like series with a lot of fan service, or overly comedic. My top 3 fightan would probably be HxH, Kekkaishi, and Kenshin. I think I might just be done with it.

I apologize if I spoil anything.

No worries :) It was the next chapter I was going to read and the way this story flows, the process of the story is really the enjoyable part and not necessarily the specific plot points. Finally getting to chapter nine, my worry was whether or not if our grey hero had finally done something dark but I'm not too bothered by what happens at the beginning of chapter 9. I'm looking forward to see how it finishes but I'm feeling a little melancholy that I'm about to be caught up.
 
Blue Sky Complex 6 (end)

Finally after tons of kisses and numerous chapters Narasaki and Terashima get together. I loved the whole chapter and actual manga. Sure it was on the slower pacing for a BL but all the kisses were nice and their ever growing friendship was good too. This final chapter was pretty hilarious after the confession and then the bonus chapter.

I wish it wasnt a dream and had them actually do stuff instead of end it at the discussion of how to decide who will be the top.

Good writer.

Haha! Even you enjoy smut! Whatever happened to "pure male friendship"?! You're just like the rest of us :p

Nozoki Ana finale

So I powered through the rest of this today. Reading through this from beginning to end in one day has been an emotional rollercoaster. Up and down and up and down...It spanned two years, and there was so much love and happiness and pain and emotion...But that ending.

The last few chapters were Tatsu and Emiru FINALLY hooked up and shared such a passionate evening was amazing. ALL that time leading up to this. But then, right at graduation, her running off like that...Even after sharing that moment in front of her brother's grave? Oh my lord, I was FUMING. I was so pissed at her. And poor Tatsu, after finally giving in to his feelings and having what he thought was his true love run off like that and disappear? Running off at a train station leaving him stranded and worried? Fuuuuuck.

Thankfully, in those final few frames, things came back to where I was hoping they would all along. It still left me a bit torn up inside, though. While I'm SO happy they ended up together, I can't help but feel like Emiru would have no problem running off again one day.

But damn, what an emotional mess of a manga. Fantastic. I need something more playful and silly after that.

The manga was soooo good. There is a spiritual successor to the series, Nozi x Kimio I think is the name, I probably spelled it wrong. Also, if you want more manga like this, I highly recommend Umi No Misaki, less sex, more story and character development. Also, do not, I repeat, DO NOT READ Love Junkies. Also, read up on the Itazura na Kiss series, there are 2 of them that have a good amount of chapters and are completed but not all of it is translated.

Edit:

Also, just noticed Addicted to Curry is getting monthly updates now! HNNNNGGGGG My heart can only handle so much.... my favorite manga of all time.

Nozoki Ana was a hell of a ride

Is Love Junkies just not good? And are the others you mentioned as emotionally draining? Haha

There's always the author's other series Nozomi X Kimio.

It's not as good but it's more playful and silly if that's what you're looking for.
 
Prison school up to 148

The PBR thing and Chiyo being unbelievably dumb were/are kind of lame jokes imo. It's all good though because Hana is making her glorious comeback. Kiyoshi you're blowing it so hard in your choice of girls bro.

Everything from them leaving prison to Chiyo entering it was god-tier stuff though. It's a shame tvtropes has taught me that her and Kiyoshi are going to end up together (or not considering how the other boys' relationships have gone).

You'll reach a point where you just want the MC to burn in hell.

Edit:

If you mean very dramatic by emotionally draining than no. If you want that, read Sundome, I highly recommend it . I'm pretty sure Uso would love to see your reaction to the manga after you've finished it. I got a huge list in my head and I'm forgetting names all of a sudden. Addicted to Curry is light hearted and its essentially the One Piece of cooking in terms of slapstick comedy and has injections of romance in it, or slice of life as other would call it.

Sudedachi Nine 2

Welp, it's still just revenge-murder porn. I was hoping it could be something more and have something real to say but it isn't and it doesn't. Maybe somewhere down the line, but with the way this chapter went I seriously doubt it will happen. It doesn't even do a good job with the murder-revenge porn thing, if that's gonna be the kind of series this is it really needs to do a better job of it.

Goddamn assholes ending the chapter on such a cliffhanger! Elder Kwon is seriously something though, in that condition he's still able to send people flying like it's nothing. Shioon though better shape up, 'cause I don't want to see Kwon dead. If Kwon dies I'll be pissed off.

Kyoko v1

A japanese woman gets raped on an American base by American special forces only to get saved by a high ranking medic whose in some real deep shit. This is real dumb and offensive and the only reason I'm bothering with it is thanks to BASED IKEGAMI'S art.

Iron Hammer Against The Witch 1

Story-wise sorta meh, art-wise it ranges from OK to meh as well and certain parts (the two witches talking, the last panel and some other things) felt off. I'll give it points for the torturing women will turn them into witches.
