Manga no thread

Post by catonkeyboard » Sun Oct 21, 2018 3:28 am

How do we not have a manga thread? (Slash, why am I so bad at finding it)

Just picked up C.M.B. and it’s gooooooooooood. Got excited to read this girl’s soccer manga, thinking it’d be like that Ace manga. Apparently I did not know what doujoshin or whatever meant. :oops:

well i was going to make a big manga thread for everything i was currently reading but then i realized that would be over 200 titles long so i decided against it

now that you've made this though i'll probably just pepper stuff im reading in here on occasion

edit: also good thread title btw

for example, Bright and Cheery Amnesia

Image

tags: comedy, romance, yuri

stolen summary: Mari's girlfriend, Arisa, loses her memories of the past three years, including all memory of their life together. However, it turns out that being crazy in love with someone transcends all realms of possibility.

in my top, uh, lets say three currently running yuri titles. i think its my fourth time shilling it on the forums and probably not my last

Still a little spooked from the mai ball fiasco.

im not gonna link anything 18+ in here but even with that you shouldn't be reading these at work

although there is an argument that yuri is the 18+ stuff and shoujo ai is the same thing but without the 18+, but i dont actually think anybody uses the tags that way

Haha, yeah, I do love the "Why didn't you tag this NSFW"->"It's a FUCKING COMIC BOOK, don't read any of them at work" debate

Meant “time skips”

Proofreading will never be the meta

Typos aside, are you guys reading this book? It’s very similar to “Kubo and the two strings” in that you cant get comfortable, because the scene may end at any moment.

It makes everything seem more like a scramble and it’s incredibly refreshing.

Also, as goofy as it is, C.M.B. continues to touch me emotionally.

Caught up on C.M.B.

It’s mystery meets history meets tragedy meets philosophy.

It touches me right where dragon quest does in that the overall narrative is secondary to the day to day lives you’re seeing.

Final Fantasy: it is the most important day in an NPC’s life because you are there
Dragon quest: you see the most important day in an NPC’s life with a variable amount of input in the proceedings.

time for another yuri shilling, this time its Hana ni Arashi
Image

tags: Romance, School Life, Seinen, Slice of Life, Yuri

stolen summary: Nanoha and Chidori are best friends. They're also dating, but it's a secret, so don't tell anyone!

just a very sweet slice of life romance thing, done better than a lot of stuff in the genre. chidori is the most adorable slightly angsty dork. yuri is great you guys.

seconding this. one of the top things that i look the most forward to updates. cute and romantic awkward teenagers trying to keep how in love they are with each other under wraps while sort of trying to understand it themselves. i'm getting older and getting more into older office life type stuff, that might be unrelated, but, man, there is a special place for first relationships / high school being this nice and wonderful

and it's sort of unfortunate in a way to like, the art is so good, but i don't want to, like, like something because it has good art, or to give it more of a score because it has good art. there's certainly a handful of things that are pretty great without really great art because they're so stylish, or the story is so good, but this is just that like everything has gone right. a great distinct stylish sort of look, both of the main characters look great, tall and smoll, which is the best, and the short hair is such a nice look, and then there's a great story, maybe more just great characters, but then i do really like hook of them trying to relationship on the sly despite the fact that theyre probably fooling nobody, like just fucking everything is great and every chapter is a treat. wonderful!
