https://mangadex.org/title/38628/if-my-wife-became-an-elementary-school-studentDespite the trashy premise it's actually pretty heartwarming and interesting. The relationship triangles/squares/whatever that are forming really make me want to know how everything will turn out. I like the art too.

>>277I think the funny thing is that since we see the series from Ponko's point of view, she's clearly conscious. It starts begging the question of how ethical it is for people to 'decommission' her considering she passes the Turing test and also is a conscious being.
Reminds me of that one doujin series that ends with 'the happiest robot in the world' or something.

I'm a volume into Gunsmith Cats Burst. So far it's been a let down compared to the original series, but not horrible. I just don't enjoy Bean's character and his constant ass pulls and plot armor.

Finished Chio's School Road the other day, some of the later parts felt kinda rough but all in all I enjoyed it.
Currently getting back into Fist of the North Star, enjoy the manga much more than the anime, much more to the point. Just got through the part where Raoh and Toki have their faceoff.
Planning to switch it up with GTO which I haven't read since I was a teen, and that was just some one-off chapters in one of those manga mix mags I subscribed to a while.

It's a dumb campy manga though, who cares. Girl also has no trigger discipline.
>>647I've never read Burst, or the original Gunsmith Cats for that matter, but I love the OVAs
> I just don't enjoy Bean's character and his constant ass pulls and plot armor.I thought he was great in Riding Bean in a silly sort of way, but I like the really stupid things like his
bulletproof headband. I gotta admit to liking Rally better though. I think I've read that Sonoda wanted Bean to be the focus of his series at first but ended up with the girls as main characters instead.
No.655
>>653This is really cool and I like it, thanks for sharing.
No.656
>>652I guess my gripe is that when most people get shot in the series, they tend to not get back up and are, at the very least, hurt enough to not really put up a fight. Rally's shooting and stuff isn't exactly realistic, but it's not super unbelievable and she still gets trumped by some of the villains. Bean just doesn't. It would be neat to see him pull his stuff out every so often, but even when his plot armor "breaks" he doesn't go down.
>I've never read Burst, or the original Gunsmith Cats for that matter, but I love the OVAsThen you should read the first series! If you can find it, read the official revised edition in english. The original version was completely mirrored (for left to right flow) and censored to appeal to the American market better. It has some really nice arcs and the art is fantastic. The OVAs are kind of spread out throughout the manga.
No.663
>>656That's definitely a fair gripe. Bean is pretty superhuman, and in a world where most people aren't (at least to that degree) it does feel odd.

If you are on Windows, CDisplayEX has a thumbnailer so you can see the covers in explorer. I prefer using Yacreader because it doesn't need to load the whole cbz to let you read (I keep everything on a NAS), but I keep CDisplayEX around for the thumbnails.

I wouldn't read it for something to mentally chew on and the same goes for Chainsawman. The plot for Chainsawman is

I think the main thing is that at the time there was just too much fucking saturation of isekai, most of it low level bottom of the barrel trash, so anything with even a hint of creativity ends up looking like absolute genius. Look at Overlord, it's pretty much the exact same thing as any isekai except 1. the dude is a skeleton and kind of unrepentant Evil without being an edgy asshole and 2. he's got all his high-level friends with him instead of needing to find them.

I finally got around to reading Wolf Guy / 狼の紋章, the image the old meme picture from the NTR scale comes from.
It came out in 2007 which is actually around when I guessed it probably came out (2007-2012), less because of the artstyle and more because of the excessive grimdark that seems to be the hallmark of anything that came out around that time. I don't really mind the grittiness; the manga heavily features the yakuza and insane gangsters so stuff like drugs or whatnot seems par for the course, like Holyland, a 2000 manga. The main issue I had with it is the gratuitous amount of sex and rape. It almost reminds me of Game of Thrones, the TV series not the books; the books were always poorly conceived gibberish, but the TV shows took it a step further by pathologically removing as much fantasy from the world as possible in an attempt to be dark.
With that being said I think the basic premise of the manga is fine. Excessively violent outcomes aside it does a fairly good job at actually developing its characters in some way, though not all in good directions. Also, the author's artstyle and some of the dialogue, while certainly meant to be dark, intimidating, or enlightening, is impossible to take seriously just because of how he draws it - see the image.
All in all I'd still recommend the series, though it probably isn't for everyone.
No.3117
>>2950I like it. It's more of a fantasy story than a straight-up isekai for me. Although I feel like the dark tones that made it interesting at first have been lacking in recent chapters. Not that I think edginess for edginess' sake is good…

I read the Alien 9 manga, and really liked it! I think the OVA is better overall, especially in terms of pacing and certain scenes having MUCH more emotional impact in the OVA. However, it was great to see more of the characters I love, and the direction they went with the overarching story was interesting, as it's only ever teased at in the OVA. This series has a really cool (and quite dark) tone and aesthetic to it that is definitely shown off a lot in the later chapters of the manga. The alien designs, body horror, and action scenes are really striking in how unique and gory they are. That, along with the focus on the girls mental states, personalities, and upbringings really makes me empathize with these characters. I was consistently rooting for them the whole time, especially as things looked increasingly grim.
I also appreciate how invested I was able to get into the setting. It kept the lore dumps concise, but vague and interesting enough to make you want to keep reading. I never felt like I had to go out of my way to keep up my suspension of disbelief towards what is ultimately a very strange setting, and I think a lot of that is due to how little is explained. It keeps the focus on the girls, the changes and struggles they go through, and the aliens themselves.
I haven't read Emulators or Next yet, but will probably do so in the coming days.
No.3682
>>3681Having slept on it I have a couple other, more spoiler related things to say:
I was slightly disappointed initially in how fast they cleared up
Kumi's death and resurrection. I felt like there was a lot of room there to explore Yuri and Kasumi's reaction to it that they never get into beyond just one or two panels. This kind of thing is what I mean when I say the manga is paced oddly at times. However the way in which
she comes back was more than interesting enough for me not to mind in the long run, and she actually became my favorite character after that arc. The stuff with her
struggling to cope with her new body and her desire to protect Yuri from the same fate was really interesting and emotional.
The themes of puberty and growing up and sexual stuff is less prevalent in this manga as compared to the OVA. It's there (at least to my eyes), but it feels like the idea is less pushed. It makes me wonder if the OVA staff saw that and decided to focus more on it. For example, in the OVA there is a dream sequence with
Yuri's stomach expanding into a borg while standing in front of a ruler to measure her growth. To me that reads as very blatant pregnancy or puberty-themed imagery. But this scene and probably others are absent from the manga. The manga does have some pretty serious plot points about
how drastically the girls bodies and feelings change though so I'd hesitate to say that my 2deep4u interpretation is only relegated to the OVA.
I found it interesting how the
teachers, who were initially framed as evil or nefarious, are revealed to be basically just as powerless as anyone else in being pawns to the aliens. They're just trying to make the best of the way the world works in this universe, which brings the interesting question of if
what they're doing to the girls is "right" or not. When the alternative is the
sunflower aliens, it seems very obviously like the lesser of two evils, but even so it's a very grim conclusion.

>>3822I've always preferred shorter anime and manga, they feel more impactful if they're done right.

>>3909So far I like yuri's gooey melty eyes they're so cute, but I'm kinda anxious about how much I identify with her.

>>3911Have you watched the OVA?
The series deals a lot with (very minor content spoilers:)
trauma on Yuri's part and there is some body horror stuff so fair warning No.3921
>>3912Well, I can sum up my thoughts on alien9:
kumi wants to merge with yuri lulzNo, actually, I feel like either about around the time the OVA ends the story started to make less sense to me. Like, the reveal of the broader world was good, but then the progression from that point in terms of what the characters were actually doing and what their motivations were… kinda lost me. I'll probably go back and read it again sometime and maybe be able to follow it a bit better. Though I do feel like being unable to follow it kinda works given the story being told.
I thought the concept of
their memories being in some way absorbed into the borg was really interesting and like either they should have done more with that, or they did do more with that and it flew over my head.
>>3682>fast they cleared up…I agree, but I feel like they couldn't have done it slower without having some extra explanation. Like, the superviser
is screwing with them to be sure, but for them to not find out about
weird gross cell gel healing until later would require some explanation. Like
"Hey your friend is actually fine, I can just heal her using alien magic bullshit, but I didn't tell you right away because reasons"… unless the supervisor didn't know
she could be healed so easily but I think that would have weird implications for the state of her knowledge and the rest of the world.
Really having read it I'm still fascinated with the world. It would be cool to read more stories set there, but as for the plot… I'm not sure exactly what I make of it. Maybe I'll comment again after dwelling on it some more.

I've been getting into reading manga more regularly, so far I caught up on shimeji simulation which was amazing, and i read kira kira study which was decent but the ending felt rushed and unsatisfying, then i started reading chotto ippai!, but then it got a little too melodrama heavy so i stopped reading it. Then i randomly started reading Onii-chan is done for, which i wasn't expecting to like but it's actually quite good fun. If anyone has any recomendations for good slice of life cgdct manga (for context on my taste my favourite anime are hidamari sketch and gochiusa and sketchbook) i would greatly appreciate it. I always thought reading manga is too much effort but it's actually quite calming. And i can read on the train or something that is nice.

I really enjoy reading manga and I need to get back into it. I was reading the Wadanohara manga and it was pretty fun
No.3955
>>3925I read shimeji simulation after I read all of girls last tour and needed more girls last tour and it fulfilled all of my hopes and more.
No.3980
>>3892Oh I see. Kabu no isaki has more focus on travel. They fly an airplane in a world that is mysteriously 100 times larger than ours, so Mount Fuji, which they visit, actually goes up into space. They are making trips out to explore and trade. They are returning home though, not wandering without a home like in girls last tour.
Have you tried mushishi?

No.3996
>>3995So far it's very similar. Fair to say that if you liked Nichijou you will also like city.
No.3998
>>3997Oh, I guess only hitoshi ashinano's chapter of Mushishi Gaitanshuu got translated. It was pretty cool. Now I really have read all of hitoshi ashinano's work I think.

>>888I've been reading this recently, and it's honestly incredible the way they manage such a huge cast of characters and their various arcs. I love how the stories start to overlap too and you can see the vignettes take place alongside each other and how the interactions in one influence other ones.
It's surprisingly well written for something that started off as a cheesecake sort of "look at these girls messing around" kind of manga.

The artist knows how to draw very attractive girls :>

>>4242Mangadex isn’t the problem.
You’re reading the work of multiple translations or scanlation groups.
It’s because the original group didn’t finish or didn’t upload. Mangadex is trying to make your life easier. Your other option is to download directly from the groups.

Been reading Asper Girl, Shiori Experience, and Area 51, rather unfortunately Area 51's translation is incomplete and doesn't seem to have any active TL effort going on, seeing as the last translated chapter seems to have been done over a year ago. Pretty unfortunate, it's got some of my favorite art in any manga I've ever read with its use of stark black and white tones and how its pages often use only the silhouette or shadows of a character to show them. The mangaka's a master of this style.
>>2210Douman's one of my favorite mangaka, all of his stuff has this wonderfully unique feeling to it and his art style is up there as one of my favorites.

>>7024ImoSae is pretty trashy but it's passably fun if you just accept it for what it is, which is trashy comedy based almost entirely around sex jokes. How did you like it in the end, did you drop it?

>>7296I caught up to it. Seems the english tl is still quite behind, though it still gets infrequent releases. Unfortunate considering I was hoping to see more of the romance aspect develop. As-it it just felt like a refresher of what happened in the anime.

I've been watching the Manhwa called "Survive as a Barbarian in the Game". The premise is simple and overused. A guy gets sucked into a video game and now must survive. It makes itself interesting by making the game world extra dangerous, has different "players", but no one knows whose a player, has players getting killed off for being found out as "players", etc. The MC has a disability/illness, but is literally regular in all other cases. He had a GF and was about to get a job. All that info's from the first few chapters, so no major spoilers.
I liked the Manhwa because it wasn't like a copypaste of other ideas, the art is really good, and it has its own little charm (being from Korea). The MC's a bit lucky with drops, but I think that's okay since it skips the grinding part out of it. Otherwise, the man's been pretty unlucky so far.
Definitely take a look at this one if you're interested. It's not too annoying in the story, and there's a lot I can forgive. It never becomes too unbelievable.
