manga time so what are you reading now? (Links may be NSFW)

[Matti]

So who's following T-REX na Kanojo (roughly: "She's a T-Rex")?

Let's see...
So this time it is monster girls based on dinosaurs. That makes for a change to monster girls from mythology, religions, costumes and whatnot...

No Harem though and the 'dinosaur girls' have been out in open from beginning in the setting. The male MC is a little more aggressive romantically while the female MC is a bit...simple but comes off as a tsundere.

Been reading through DBZ, and rereading some of Junji Ito's works.

[idea weenie]

I'm enjoying Ooku, where a plague goes around and kills off 3/4 of Jana's men.  How does the society change as a result, how are people named, what happens when a samurai family is poor but has a son, etc.  Have books 1-9, book 12 has come out in Japanese, but Book #11 is expected to release in English this November, so I am waiting for all 3 to get the group.

Angel Densetsu  had finally got around reading it after having it bouncing about for 2 years
funny touching and bit preachy
manga is about a boy who has the most evil looking face that makes every one think he is the worst sort of delinquent...but in reality the boy is the sweetest most kind individual that would not hurt a fly...
needles to say lots of misunderstandings occur

I found a manga called Mushoku Tensei - Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu  , it's slow to update but it's fun to read.
It's about man who is reborn in magical worlds, really reborn.  However, it retains his wisdom from when he was alive in Earth just like us.  He had issues, was shuttin but died saving someone else.   Manga is bad on novel, but despite it being little Ecchi, its funny and pretty well done for what is.

Honto no Kanojo is totally twisted yuri romance! Hoping to see much MUCH more!

Hey everyone.

For those who like fantasy and comedy, i came across manga called, Dungeon Meshi

Oddy entertaining story about a guy who looses is sister to monster, is determined to save her before she get digested.  Normally, I'm 110% not into food mangas, but this one is pretty good.

Started re-reading Negima while waiting for the next volume of UQ Holder.  Probably one of my favourite series, though the ending could have been a lot better.

I'm big fan of the series too.  Bough all the slim manga verses the repackaged omni bundles.
UQ Holder going well, though it feels like it's hit rut in this training time their doing.

Is manga better than anime?

[elf25s]

Is manga better than anime?

at least in my case yes

[Wrangler]

To me the manga was better for Negima, it had been in the position of being popular enough for the publishers want promote more than once with anime.   There been at least two animes done of it, frankly second one more a launch pad for second part of Negima's manga than continuing the anime.  The anime was self-contained story, especially near the end of it.

Manga kept going on, from what i've read at burn of the author who had wanted to do it differently.  He's doing it now with UQ Holder, but it's turning into something else now.  It went off being a non-harem / non-romcom story but action / adventure and morphing into scifi/drama with romancing in the background.

[Wrangler]

I've discovered a interesting manga called Youkai Shoujo - Monsuga.  It's based around boy who turns out to have a gift see and talk to supernatural.  He meets various Japanese supernatural / demons/ ghosts/ spiritually powerful humans as time goes by. 

Its setup not unlike typical harem except its has purpose, sort of home for wandering Youkai (demons) who aren't hostile to humans.  At first i thought this was going be not unlike Monster Musume, but it's not. It serious, with light & modest a mount of fan service moment. Not a romantic comedy, but its super natural adventure/light-mystery sort of deal.  I don't think it's been imported to the US, but certainly interesting read so far.

Just finished Volume 6 of Youko x Boku SS...that was freaking sad! ;_;

[Wrangler]

Having never read it, i've begun to read Hayate the Combat Butler. I actually not seen the anime either except the very last series they put out with the hand watch, but i had no clue.  Manga much better, i can see why it spawned anime series or two.

A new one i started was also Chain Chronicles, which is wizard who trying be warrior.  Its actually not corny as it sounds.

[HobbesHurlbut]

Er does anyone know what happened to Youko x Boku SS? I just learned the author died :(

Oh, you poor soul. Can't Take My Eyes Off You is why Manglobe was the anime studio I disliked the most. First two seasons (from SynergySP, and then JC Staff) were infinitely better, and Hayate is easily one of my favorite manga! Hata's dark humor is hilarious, and the light-touch character drama resonates with me emotionally.

Last volume was No.11. To my knowledge, the story was fully concluded. It was never specified what Fujiwara-sensei's cause of death was beyond a personal illness, but she died at the tender age of 31, leaving her last manga, Katsute Maho Shojo to Aku wa Tekitai Shiteita, unfinished.

Currently halfway through Omnibus 2 of "Lone Wolf and Cub" now.

Yesterday evening I started to read Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko!, or as translated: Tomo-can is a girl! It is about childhood friends going high school. One of them keeps forgetting other is a girl. And he isn't the only one! I lost hour of sleep becouse of this!

some of the best manga i read

[Top Sergeant]

I'm going to be ordering Volumes 7 & 8 of Sacred Blacksmith. I enjoy the manga version of that better than the anime, mainly because the female MC is portrayed more believably as a knight.

[Matti]

Flying Witch is gonna get an anime!!!

[HobbesHurlbut]

Huzzah!

[Top Sergeant]

I was in Barnes & Noble today and picked up the first two volumes of The Ancient Magus' Bride. I've finished both and I must say I'm really enjoying this story.  O0

[elf25s]

It's a manga, Japan has a fetish for not-incest.
