Looks like the manga version of  "Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?" made it on the New York Times best selling Manga list.  It went from 6 to number 3 in it's second week sale of first volume!  I've been watching the show, has anyone touched the manga yet?

I found fan translations of the manga before I knew anything about the anime. In first couple chapters main characters DO NOT brush their teeth...
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights errant, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

If I read it right the next chapter of Gate (#47) won't be out until the end of June.  :(
We hear that there are tumults and riots in Rome, and that voices are raised concerning the army and the quality of our soldiers. Make haste to reassure us that you love and support us as we love and support you, for if we find that we have left our bones to bleach in these sands in vain, then beware the fury of the legions.

Following in Manga:

Arpeggio of Blue Steel (it rocks)
Sword Art Online: Progressive
Coppellion
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViviD
A Certain Scientific Railgun
A Certain Scientific Accelerator



Following in Light Novels:

Log Horizon
Gakuen Toshi Asterisk
A Certain Magical Index

I'd like to try Full Metal Panic LNs but they're kind of hard to get hold of.

Chinese (Manhua), actually.  I'm pretty sure it's being animated by a Chinese company as well, but it's getting a Japanese dub starring Kana Hanazawa. From the previews I've seen, the art looks good but the animation is rather sparse. Still, the story is intriguing. I'd be more than willing to give it a shot.

I'm so dumb, i forgot it was Chinese.  The manga stop updating, so it's been awhile since I've read it.  Hopefully there not having problems, the advertising poster for it says July 23rd, but the LiveChart says it's in August 13th now.

I'm reading fan translated Otaku's Daughter. 9 years old girl meets 26 years old otaku and tells him he is her father. Hilarity ensues. Drama too. Good stuff. I can't find english translations in print.

I wondered why the american version had the title changed to "It's your guys' fault that I'm not popular!" ?

Bloody time! I'll place an order as soon as it appears on Amazon.com!

Why do you ask? Was something changed in Berserk?
