a girl by the sea - 11

Good to see a translation at last, but I'll wait until the rest of the volume is out. Not the kind of work that's appreciable in such small chunks.

I'm thinking the same thing. Read through the first volume all at once, want to do the same thing with v2. I'll probably just reread the entire thing once it's out.
 
Hamatora 01

So basically a prequel of the anime, which is pretty cool.

Nice way of setting things up and rather like the action going on. Not as stylish as the anime but still pretty fun.
 
Waratte! Sotomura-san 52

Yeah, this is getting increasingly stale. Needs a huge and exciting development, like someone seeing her petting a kitten or something.

Aunt Tits 110

Well, look on the bright side -
 
Buddy!!! - Buddy x Body 01

Basketball crazy guy meets a girl who changes into a guy when she plays basketball or something.

Uh, yeah, it's something. I guess this will also have romance as well.
 
Anyone else here like Yasuhiro Kano's work? He does a great balance of romance and comedy and is good at being serious in his one shots. I love his art too. I loved all of Pretty Face. Kagami was a nice short love story. The loop one shot was great.

I think it's such a shame that he doesn't really have any long running series.
 
I'm trying to follow dakkumaji's readings, but it's hard -_-

Sanbanme no Tsuki 1-7
Pretty harmlessly fun series. It's always funny to see strangely human aliens
I'm betting for a twist à la Eureka seveN or Alpha Centauri though
. Plus the main character's always in a swimsuit, a good point.

INB4 Vietnam flashbacks about Mx0's cancellation
lol
I like him alright, Mx0 and Pretty Face were fun and Harisugawa was not bad either, just a little bland maybe. But yeah, Loop is actually my favorite out of his works, I wish Shueisha would let him doing a darker/seinen story.

I'm a sucker for out-of-the-norm love interests and/or protagonists, so the the guy looking like he never missed a workout is something of a plus for me.

It's a shame that the art quality is so inconsistent. Sometimes it's incredibly nice, sometimes just doodlings
 
I never stop reading!
Everyday I read my books for work, from 8 am to 8 pm, relentlessly, so when I come back home, I don't want to read and would rather stupidify myself in front of the TV or playing a video game rather than read some more -_-
I used to read a lot as a leisure, it's a shame -_-

Hajiotsu 1
We only do intros on the first day
Himari's adorable !

Was there a lot left unresolved in MXO?
Yeah, the whole fricking plot.

I guess I should read mx0. I was a few chapters in but the quality of the images were really bad where I read them.

It's been a while since I read it, but Pretty Face had a rushed ending too, right?

Loop

Less Groundhog Day and more awesome violence than I thought it was going to be, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Itoshi no Karin 7

First thing that came to mind after he sprayed her was that the bottle had pesticide in it
I'm a terrible person
 

Angry Grimace

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Soma

I have a feeling Soma's just going to squeak by in last place to get to the next round. Whole chapter was serious fucking food porn though.

Blaster Knuckle 1-20 END
Take yourself back to the 1880s where the KKK is thriving and the African American community lives in fear. The African Americans don't fear the KKK simply because they beat, rape, and kill them. No. They fear the KKK because the KKK eats them. They are the aptly named man-eaters, a kind of mix between werewolves and vampires. They consume human flesh, can shapeshift into various forms, and are practically immortal. Only one man, an ex-heavyweight boxer named Victor Freeman, dares to stand up to them. Equipped with a small arsenal and a set of modified brass knuckles, can our hero defend his people and avenge his past?
Abrupt ending due to cancellation aside, if you don't find the idea of a blaxploitation manga about a heavyweight boxer killing some man-eating KKK members with his double barrel shotgun and finishing them off by PUNCHING them in the FACE with his silver shooting BLASTER KNUCKLE then you're either a member of the KKK or dead inside.

Either way, GET BLASTED!

Fuck series that end too early. Editors are ruthless.

Let's be honest here. The author could have stopped fucking around with the plot in Mx0 and actually advance it in the 10 volumes of time he had.

I've been buying it, I'm on volume 7 and I feel like there are too many pages wasted on stuff like the gender-bender pool episode instead of focusing on advancing the plot.

until they discover there's a manga thread
Huh? What the hell is this supposed to mean? Do I not post in manga-GAF every week? Apparently Big Three don't count, or something? I guess I could try doing a daily retrospect of manga that I've read in the past...I dunno, my interest in actual manga itself is dead (as is my love for comics). I'll touch upon it sometime in the future, but for now my steady dose is just Big Three every week until I hit "it" with something.

They aren't talking about you. They're talking about a thread that was on the front page in OT.
 
Ore no Ushiro ni Tatsu na!! 4 and 5

Conclusion to the main story was alright, just another kidnapping which they could have some other crime take place but funny end in the hospital.

The oneshot with the older brother harboring a secret activity that he loves to do alone in his room at night was funny and really got intense once the younger friend got involved. Liked the few days later stuff.
