Image spam for each chapter is fine and all (since I too am sometime guilty of that) but would you mind at least write something about them.

I assume we can discuss webtoons here as well, like tower of god and nobelesse?
Of all the weekly manga these days, i find tower of fod to be most entertaining. New arc aka the hell train arc is about to start, and I'm exited.
and waiting for Sjingeki no Kyojin 61

Now I'm enticed to read this series because beef ta-- wait, no. It's called oxtail. Oxtail! Gosh - is my favorite food.Meat is best though:
Suzuka volume 3
The only good thing about this is the cover. Well OK, some pages inside with the tanned girl are good too, like in the bathhouse because you can see her tits. The story keeps being pretty mediocre and the same applies to the characters in general. If a girl turns you down (or in the case of tanned girl a guy turns you down) move the fuck on you assholes. The world is full of fishes.
Also, I keep thinking that every girl looks the same with just a swapped wig.
Frankly speaking I don't want to think about why I keep spending money on Seo Kouji.
Better than wasting it on Urasawa, I guess.

Happy Birthday!
My first exposure to Seo was Cross Over, I still have the full 7 volumes on my shelf. As someone who also read both KNIM and Suzuka, I'll say your intuition that Naoki Urasawa prove a better value of investment is true.
Toriko usually charts in top 50 for three weeks after release. With the way Tokyo Ghoul is dominating the charts, Toriko will probably fall out of top 50 after 2 weeks instead.
Toriko always charts in top 10 on its first week.

That (or the anime version) was the start of my Seo fandom. He's also to blame for me reading manga at all with Suzuka.

We do.

Soul Cartel
Are my favorite three currently. Also reading 10th Dimension Boys and The Gamer, though Ive switched over to reading everything on the LINE Webtoon app (android)
From watching the anime (first few games), it basically is just asspulls.
I read a bunch, like Girls of the Wilds , but have come to realise the weekly format does not work for me. Not enough story in each chapter, and it interrupts the flow of the story.

Dont you mean Terraformars? Each new volume of Terraformars they seem to reveal that its copies have increased by one mln, Terraformars has 8780000 at 10 volumes while Tokyo Ghoul is at 7200000 with 13 volumes. Tokyo Ghoul would never catch up since Terraformars will anime effect increase in October.

All my series doing well new yaoi manga already debuting strongly, hopefully drama cd and anime eventually...and World Trigger will cross 100K yet again before leaving the charts, well deserved. I remember the day people thought itd be cancelled.
What? But Seraph has always been leaving the charts at over 100K since I believe v2 even. The anime was only revealed like a few days before this new volume came out, and the manga had already surpassed 1mln copies in March at volume 4 even.
Next series to look out from for JUMP SQ would be Twin Star Exorcist whic passed 100K copies with its first volume...
Slurping because of that tail ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Very good. You can tell a lot of research went into it.
Congratulation!
Welcome to the old man club!
I'm searching for fiction that features land warfare right now. Kingdom is quite good in that regard, but it put too much emphasis on the commanders factor most of the time.
it has gud art and best girl
Yeah I love it (totally has nothing to do with the tomboy I swear... ok, it has everything to with it). Just be prepared for super slow scanslations, even now with the serialization being slower, they still haven't caught up.
The art is pretty good though

It's entertaining, but if you expect smart mind game ala like Kaiji, Zero, Alice in Borderland, or Liar Game, it won't deliver.
Personally, i like it for the sheer amount of cheesiness and ham delivered by the seiyuu.

Now this was a genuinely touching chapter about acceptance, what it mean to love, and recognising gender identity.
But I can't help but laugh at this.

The lettering that is used for "that" release is pathetic. Takes me out of the story sometimes. Might as well be comic sans....

I mean currently looking at the sales Tokyo Ghoul on average sells about 500K or above per Vol. While Terra Formars sells above 300K per Vol. So I thought Tokyo Ghoul is selling more unless I'm mistaken.
Anyways quality wise Tokyo Ghoul is better.
Wow, there's a awfully similar manga to Smutterfly Effect called Umareru Kachi no Nakatta Jibun ga Anna no Tame ni Dekiru Ikutsuka no Koto, such a pointlessly long name.
Except the lead is basically a 31 years old NEET and fall down from a school building to 'time travel' back to his past.

So, basically it's about a woman who runs a spooning service?
Interesting concept.

Check out tower of god, it usually has lengthy chapters. Somewhat closer to a monthly mangas like claymore.
I do read girls of the wilds just for lols even though it isn't any good
Yup I also use the same app. Its very convenient. I came to love webtoon even more than anime because of that app lol.
And again I recommend tower of god to you as well

Umibe no Onnanoko
2 Volumes
Slice of life, drama, lots of teen sex
I forgot to post about this like a month ago. I don't want to write much about it anymore, honestly. It was far too heavy with the sex. It did have some really endearing moments, but they were kind of spoiled by the
. I showed my girlfriend when I read that part, and she was like, "You read some weird shit." (ha. shit.)
Seriously, though. One of Asano's weaker pieces.

I read the other day an interview with Asano where he said he poured his all in that work.
I need to know, is she a good tomboy or a bad tomboy?Yeah I love it (totally has nothing to do with the tomboy I swear... ok, it has everything to with it). Just be prepared for super slow scanslations, even now with the serialization being slower, they still haven't caught up.

Yeah, I could tell. I wish he poured less. It was gross.
I see..

Meh, I might as well read it.

What a terrible title. It could be cool if shortened. The translators could fix it, but that's a pretty much what the title translates to.
If one were to be less exact with the translation, it could be slightly less awkward: "The Things I Can Do for Anna, Even Though I'm Worthless" or "I'm Worthless, but I Can Still Do These Things for Anna"
I think the player within the industry already aware of it.
Does anyone knows which LN (because of course it'd be a LN) has the record for longest (and most ridiculous) title?
It's probably because the "Didn't deserve to be born" part is more eye-catching. Marketing strategy and all that jazz.

I used to find Asano a little overrated after Solanin, Hikari no Machi, What a Wonderful World, Sekai-I-can't-remember-the-title etc. I was one of those who was more drawn by Nijigahara Holograph's unique storytelling. I like his works but not as much as the cult following he seems to have.
Then I read Oyasumi Punpun and pretty much cemented my member status in his fan club.

The anime is pretty lewd. Probably the manga too.
The LN is just word lewd. But the series is pretty chessy but entertaining too. I rather liked the anime and the first volume of the LN.
...I would read that.
From the beginning of this year so something new might have come out by then:

Hah hah.
I didn't mind the sex, I actually like the passional affair that turns into love trope, I didn't even mind a lot
the shit; but I didn't like the end, it felt as if someone said "I almost forgot this is an Asano manga, there can't be happy end! and then the couple was hilariously destroyed with an almost deus ex machina set of events and a sudden and mysterious obsession with a random girl the guy didn't know. It didn't surprise me the bittersweet end because it's typical Asano, but it was badly developed and it felt forced, and it wasn't even particularly meaningful.
