Demut Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Didn't see a thread for this kind of content yet so here goes: Apparently Araki plans do keep drawing JoJo until he dies. Part 9 released today and for some reason it features power-tripping police, the Coof, a tranny and sexual harassment, all in the very first chapter. Sounds like Araki might've spend a bit too much time on Twitter during the most recent hiatus. Anyhow, I'm not too sure I'll follow this actively. I'll probably read it should it ever be completed but unless this has a consistent weekly release schedule I can't be arsed to add yet another title to the 80+ ongoing manga that I'm trying to keep track of.

Bacon Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 sis, your power level is leaking anyway, I only read SoL, romance, and isekai(+harem) manga to fill the void in my soul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demut Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 I think it was some time last year that I started reading is*kai (despite the vast, vast majority of them being complete, utter, irredeemable garbage) simply to kill some time. Can't say I'm glad to have made that decision. Now they clog up my feed and half the time I don't even end up reading the latest chapter because I've more or less forgotten their story in the meantime. There's a few good ones here and there such as The Wolf Won't Sleep but the Nips with their eternally shit taste had that cancelled, of course. On a different note, more recently I got into Nihei's work. I had heard of BLAME and its unusual setting (both plot- and art-wise) many years ago, naturally, but never actually read it until now. I also did not know that he was such a prolific artist and put out this many other manga. While I definitely enjoy his work overall, they all feel strangely melancholic so far, even when there's a supposedly happy ending. Maybe melancholic is even too upbeat of a word. Depressing is only a slightly too strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very sad that Aharen-san is Indecipherable is coming to an end pretty soon. That manga, as well as the anime, is way more fun than it had any right to be. Another favorite in that specific genre is She is Also Cute Today. That one has been on break for like a year now, though. I hope it being very gay wasn't too much for China.

I do read Aharen-san. It is very good. When I stared reading it I thought it was going to be about how crazy Aharen-san is. Instead, it was a manga about the most delusional main character that ever could have existed. Every "snap back to reality" moment when the MC's mind has gone too far is great. My favorite SoL Romance manga right now is Super no Ura de Yani Suu Hanashi/A Story About Smoking at the Back of the Supermarket because it isn't about fucking highschoolers or middleschoolers.

If you don't want high schoolers, go read Telework Yotabanashi. It's fantastic. I dare you to find something sexier than an Excel spreadsheet... I appreciate that my dude here blocking off 12 hours for weekend gaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demut Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 Don't get me wrong, it's still a good manga but I feel like Spoiler retconning the ending of part 1 by reviving the MC in part 2 kinda cheapens the entire story up to that point.

Ghost_MH Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 @Bacon Even though you may not want to deal with high schoolers, I think I'm still going to recommend Yancha Gal no Anjou-san. A romance slice of life where people actually talk to one another? Where there aren't any dumb love triangles and the side characters all have their own motivations? If it helps, it's not actually a shonen series and runs in the seinan magazine, Young King. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
