10 Most Regularly Read Sort-Of Smut Manga OTP SmutBanner

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. 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!

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.

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.

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.​

5. About reading manga on tablets.
If you are looking for manga-reading tech on tablets, Jintor suggests Mango and suko_32 has more details on his tablet setup.​

WARNING: There may be spoilers in some of these recs (rec), reviews (rev), impressions (imp). If you want to avoid that, just post a general question about the manga (don't do this on Wednesday though). Most recent at top. Links to previous recommendations at bottom.

  1. The drawings are good and the story sets the tone from the first chapter. Will continue to read and check out the original LN. For Shin Sekai Yori 1. From Tribes of Trusty. (imp)
  2. It's a supernatural murder simulator starring a useless nerd MC and a very cute delinquent girl. For Petals of Reincarnation. From _hekk05.

  4. This has got to be legitimately some of the best shonen I've read in years. For Kingdom Vol 1-10. From Big One. (rev)
  5. A writer for a magazine finds a hole in the wall restaurant with a cook who has the eerie habit of giving her exactly what she craves or needs. For Petite Peche. From thesaucetastic. (imp)

  9. Really nice and relaxing series as expected of Ashinano but... For Kabu no Isaki. From Akito. (rev)
  10. Kid who's down on his luck meets up with a wish granting robot who grants wishes based off cards only if he gets paid enough. For Yahabe. From dakkumauji. (imp)
  11. It's an enjoyable, funny and adorable shoujo manga with some pretty nice art and some fun characters. For Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii 01. From PhillipCostigan. (imp)
  12. InfiniDragon: So lately I've been reading Westwood Vibrato, really like the characters and the premise, if folks are into music and/or a bit of drama I'd give it a read. Oh, and the main character is a waifu if that's your thing.
  13. Besides that ending, which I'll ponder all night long, I really enjoyed this manga and didn't want it to end. For Flowers of Evil. From Memento_Mori15. (rev)
  14. Another Minase Ruruu oneshot! You know what that means! This one's about an otaku who gets pulled into making maid costumes for the culture festival...and stuff happens. Pretty cute. For Heart Throbbing After-School. From Charade.
  15. The many lives of this guy. A fun oneshot. I like the twist at the end, haha. For Tokyo Hatsu Isekai Yuki. From dakkumauji.
  16. 7 glorious pages of this budding yuri couple For The Foreigner and the Insensitive Tomboy. From wonzo.
  17. Pretty good so far. MC is an ass, but a likeable one. For Yugami-kun ni wa Tomodachi ga Inai. From Charade. (imp)
  18. Pretty amusing at the start and then suddenly it becomes amazing at the last few pages of the chapter. For Hero Hearts 01. From dakkumauji. (imp)
  19. Overall, I think Vento Aureo is one of the stronger, if not the strongest, installments of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. For JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo. From Revo. (rev)
  20. It also still strikes the balance perfectly between intrigue and burden of knowledge when it comes to the dealings between merchants. For Spice & Wolf (light novel). From PhillipCostigan. (imp)
  21. MetroidPrimeRib suggests Kaoru Mori Shuuishuu - Anything and Something vaguely, but it might be lewd
  22. Pretty boys run around at night slaying youkai and protecting humans from becoming them. For Tsuki ni Tsubame to Migi ni Kage 01. From dakkumauji. (imp)

  25. A single volume with several short stories. Yes another one! And from the author of Oh, My Sweet Alien! For Pictorial Book of Sound. From Turin Turambar. (imp)
  26. The art in this is so good. It uses this kinda focus/blur effect to make things pop out while still keeping a lot of detail. For Levius 01. From Charade. (imp)
  27. Woah. Took me like 3 reads to piece most of it together, but woah. Really good. For Drops. From Charade.
  28. What a great purchase this one was. The best thing about it is surely in the flow. For Historie. From Lain. (imp)
  29. A 30 years old Japanese NEET joins a PMC in the middle east and becomes the handler of some soldiers. For Marginal Operation 01. From Charade. (imp)
  30. More seriously, it was a decent-good series. For Tasogare Otome x Amnesia. From Turin Turambar. (rev)
  31. Oneshot about a girl who has to stay after-school for failing a test, and learns something in the process from another student. Nothing special, but pretty cute. For Irotoridori no. From Charade.
  32. I didn't think I'd find something that right from the start is as dark as her previous works and, i'll be honest, I loved it. For Vanilla Fiction Vol 1. From Lain. (imp)
  33. Basically, there was a war and to tip the scales, soldiers were transformed into monsters and became "gods." For Katsute Kami Datta Kemono-tachi 01. From scy. (imp)
  34. 30 years old guy leers and creeps an middle school girl that meet him by mistake. It's creepy seeing him search on the net for her high school and plans how to ambush her. Funny, he seems to notice the roses. For Miman Renai. From Turin Turambar.

  38. Recommendations from OTX.
  39. Recommendations from OTZ.
  40. Recommendations from OTL.
 
Despite my frantic amounts of ;___;'s in use, it's actually not that depressing or tragic or anything for most of them. Essentially, just a boy meets girl that then involves their past lives together (for better or worse). And, hell, not even sure if it's just the past? TIME WHY.

Erm, anyway, it's been fun so far and I find it utterly fascinating in trying to follow the lives shown so far. It has a lot of the same vibes as Biscuit Hammer did during the mid-to-end of the series.

Oh man.

Was hoping for something depressing to read.

Koe no Katachi 35

Good chapter. I thought it was going to be Ishida who melted down.

Baby Steps 210

It's cute that Natsu-chan feels threatened by a homely girl who is so shy she runs away in tears rather than have a conversation with the guy she likes. Although I guess that behavior is waifu material in certain Japanese circles.

Somehow I don't think it was a coincidence.

shady back room dealings

Oh man.

Well, without giving too much
most their past lives have ended tragically (notably the first one). It's just not super depressing with them since the plot gets what's needed from them and furthers the intrigue
.

How does it feel when her existence was completely disregarded?

i cry everytime

Natsu has always lost to her in matches, she doesn't want to lose in love to her too.

Makes sense, if you know how competitive sportsmen/women are.

toriko, a manga so insignificant the number of people that care about it itt adds up to how old the underage girl was when the author fucked her
 
That's why it's up there lol.

Teasing TheRealTalker aside, it's a banner of recent not-Big 3 common reads and hiatus returns, as well as 2 manga that are ending.


Wat I'm going to have to make 2

Will Duckroll finally be right and Magi is going to end?
