Looks interesting. Will likely give this one and Otoyomegatanari a try. Thanks!
This trope (full body shot of girl with "glowing aura" + close up of the guy's face), it's so overdone but I love it so much.

I actually thought of you while typing that lol
It's so cheap yet it works so well!
Might be the single best description of the feelings that come up every time I read this manga. Congrats.
They're amazing. Always.

Ran to Haiiro no Sekai Vol 1
Holy shit the art is fucking beautiful. The setting is so interesting with all the weird magical powers.
Creating cakes and sweets out of nowhere is amazing

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I don't think so. I think she just aggroed a bunch of other titans, as opposed to using some kind of power to direct them.
Nah, the groups releasing it tomorrow.

You know, I can kind of understand why Martin takes so long to finish the recent volumes of Ice & Fire. He's getting on in age and he's finally made it, financially. Most people would have called it quits and just lived the high-life for the remainder of their retirement years.
I get the feeling he's lost the inspiration that allowed him to pump out the first 3 books so quickly; the added pressure from fans certainly don't help.
However...
Checking Wikipedia, it seems Miura is only 47 years of age. That's not too old, all things considered. I wonder what's stopping him from finishing the last thirteen volumes of Berserk (aside from Idolm@ster)? Can it really be something as banal as laziness?

Perhaps we'll never know, but I'm pretty sure that it's not IDOLM@STER.
Excuse me people in this thread, if i can bother you for a sec.
I took a very long break from manga for some... weird reason, I grazed a naruto chapter now and then , but for the most part I just kind of stopped.
For some reason my passion for manga has rekindled and now I am ready to re-enter the fray.
So I any suggestions on good manga, I know that is a bit vague because genres.
So if i could narrow it down.
Shonnen actiony stuff.
Funny stuff, and life slices.
Male focused romance mangas, I mean as in Male is the main character not as in yaoi manga. Though if they are good that's totally welcome.
Mystery manga.
Thank you for your time.

Boku no Pico.
Edit: Just kidding.
Look for the end of Full Metal Alchemist, Soma no Shougeki, Silver Spoon, One Punch Man, and Again!! Just for the Shouneny, action stuff I'm reading right now. Again!! is pretty good for slice of life, romance stuff, and One Punch Man is a great critique on the superhero genre, on both the eastern and western side.

That's a good list.
I'd throw in Detective Conan if you want mystery. It's long running and the format is usually a different case every month with the main plot moving along every so often.
I probobly should have mentioned that my break from manga while long hasn't been the span of years, I have read things like FMA, silver spoon, One punch man, detective connan ect. That is my bad, I actually used to post in this thread alot. Maybe I will start up again.
But I gotta bunch of cool manga suggestions, thanks duders.

Mobile Suit Gundam The Origin v3
Guess the commentary from the Genshiken writer went past me, dont even know what Char's Counterattack is and the artstyle for Amuro was so weird. Should have had CLAMP write in again instead.
I miss the technical terms of SEED for weaponry as just mega particle cannon sounds dull as compared to lohengrin, gottfried, valiantos, and igelstellung. But otherwise good volume. Ramba Ral is as good as Char and memorable, but could have easily lasted more than one volume. Awful way to be taken out as well as he had all those good panels and moments before with Amuro but then just gets a stray shot and then offs himself? How does that even make sense. Then worst Hamon, she could have done more.

This shit is too real. Such a sudden shift that the story took.

Char's Counterattack is a movie. This does remind me that I should get around to checking out volume 2 & 3 myself.

It's nice to see White doing something again especially now she's a decent battler. There's also the Bianca discovering her true passion thrown in there too.

A yaoi story for everyone but DTL. 10/10
I loved this. Lawr was amazing, his face is just so intense, vacant at first but whenever he shows his emotions it's just so effective. I wasn't expecting to feel anything but contempt for Adrian at the beginning
But with his relationship with Lawr and his past I felt a real sadness for him. Also the carnival motif used at certain points was really something, fuckin' carnies.

Majime na Jikan. 2 volumes.
Already read it. It was fantastic, so I might read it again anyway.

Hmm, how about Hagoromo Mishin? Same author as kids on the slope.
Reading majime na jikan again is a legit choice though.

Even if you probably already read it, I'll always recommend Seishun Forget!.

Bridge otaku and a swan that turns into a girl sounds right up my alley. I guess I'll read Hagoromo Mishin first then read Majime na Jikan again after that.
I actually just re-read it a couple of weeks ago. I loved it, though it dragged a little after she got her memories back.
Hagoromo Mishin
This was really good. The art was nice, though some of the faces looked a bit off at times. The story went pretty much exactly how I thought it would. I actually really liked Youichi's friends, in fact I thought the romance between those two was more interesting then the main couple. The ending was almost exactly what I thought it would be but it still managed to hit me right in the feels. The only real problem I had was that Youchi wasn't a very interesting main character. Miwa was fun as were the friends, but Youichi was just boring in comparison. That being said I enjoyed reading it and I may read Kids on the Slope sometime in the future. Also was it implied in the extra that Miwa got preggers from Youichi, had a swan baby and then that swan had a kid?
Art: 8/10
Characters: 8.5/10
Story: 9/10
Overall: 9/10

Pretty much.
Different lifespans man. I actually enjoy how the author incorporated swan-like features to her personality.
Yeah I liked that as well. Like when she was eating the bread with nothing on it like a swan would if you threw it some, little things like that were great.

Getter Robo - Vol. 2; End
Not as good as Devilman. I know you may think it's ridiculous to make the comparison just because they both have a mutual writer, but they really are quite similar. I don't understand why the demons were shoehorned into the story, but it struck me as somewhat ridiculous. It's still very fun, and the Dragon Getter is so badass, but it's nothing outstanding, in my opinion.
Just read Devilman.
