Welcome to Mangaf. We're here to discuss manga-related things. Please read the rules regarding spoilers below.

New Year's Backlog Club brought to you by MetroidPrimeRib

Recent and Not So Recent Reads of Manga OT

Previous banners and details: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6


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 as the first line in your post. 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!
Click to expand...

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.
Click to expand...

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.

If you understand the content of the chapter you wish to discuss has significant spoilers for the series and wish to discuss without spoiler tags, and the chapter is a fresh (within 1 day) release, please add some additional detail to the bolded chapter title to indicate as such. Example:
Prison School 666 SUPER SPOILERS

I don't know what I could possibly spoil.
Click to expand...
Exercise good judgement about 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.

If you want fluffy romance manga, NeoSoma has a chart of sweet and/or fluffy romance manga from /a/.

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

The rape and super nationalistic tone is what turns me off with the Gate. Hopefully they tone those down in the anime.
Click to expand...

Having grown up on a diet of super nationalistic us media, I have to admit that doesnt bother me so much. From the show least it just makes me think of Stargate. And I think I'm reacting the same way if the soldiers were us marines or something. But hey the anime might be super cleaned up, and episode 1 was all setup.

Is there yuri in this?
If yes, trash becomes relevant to my interests.

There is indeed. They couldn't rightly call it trash if there wasn't.
Although the best yuri scenes in this manga haven't been translated yet so you'll have to seek out raws in the meantime.

I ain't even mad about Tokyo Ghoul:Re not being on the banner because motherfucking JoJo Part 4 is on the banner with my written impression.

I still hope The Ancient Magus Bride gets on the Banner one of these day. It's such a really solid manga that everyone needs to read. It's like a mixture of Studio Ghibli and Harry Potter.

Also nice Thread title.

I made the mistake of catching up on the last like 80 chapters of Gintama in one go. Fuuuuuuuuuuck. I had no idea this current arc was going to be so long, and I also though they were in the 580s and not 540s so that was an unpleasant cutoff :(. I don't necessarily mind it, but it's kinda crazy how very long and serious this arc has been, not quite sure where they're going with it.
