Man, I hate these threads...even when I was around all the time I rarely posted in them. Ah well, whatever...Yeah, I'm still reading the same shit I've always been reading. You know, Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, Berserk, all the good shit. Um, I guess the newest thing I've picked up is Hajime no Ippo still, but I haven't caught up on it yet. I've been to busy playing WoW, speaking of which, my warrior is only level 30, that's only half way, later!

I recently read "Dance till tomorrow". Sure it's hentai, but the sex isn't the whole point. It delivers a nice, adult, pretty realistic story and there's actually quite a lot of reading to be done.

Personally I think every hollywood love story/romantic comedy should look and feel a bit like Dance till tomorrow.

I have read that manga and I concur. I don't know about the hollywood bit, but it is a very entertaining manga.

I just started reading Dance of Tomorrow and finished the first volume. It's really great I think. The art which is pretty sloppy doesn't bother me.

EDIT: I burst out in great laughter a couple of times 8)!

Just finished Buzzer Beater by T.Inoue (yeah the guy from slam dunk and Vagabond) 4 volumes serie. I think its alot better than Real at least.

Dorohedoro is pretty good so im starting Maken X now and it looks ok up to now.

Except for those above I got alot more but would be a waste to write them all just look back in the thread or older threads im sure they are mentioned.

Does Buzzer Beater manga end at the same place as the anime if you have seen the anime?

If not

Spoiler







The anime ended after the earth played against the best team in the minor leauge with the guy with purple hair.

No I didnt see the anime, but It ends after only 1 match in the Intergalactic minor league, I remember the girl alien who had pink skin and was in love with the goran guy but dont remember the hair color, it ended after the match against her.

No the manga ends after that.

I didnt hear anything about T.Inoue NEW Tokyo Tribes but if your talking about this http://www.tokyopop.com/dbpage.php?prop ... torprofile

Than its notthe same author and its not really new, and the art is not my taste.

Edit: Would be surprising to see T.Inoue start a new serie before ending one of his currently ongoing series. Mangakas with 3 or more ongoing series are pretty rare I think and it would probably slow our releases of Vagabond!!!

I thought like at first but didnt think anymore about it since their name is the same.

Yeah i love Vagabond but for one sec i thought he was a superhuman who could write several mangas at the same time....

Well reading many other manga but newest one I've been reading recently is Shamo. Find it interesting but don't really like it that much.

Well I'm currently on volume 7 (read 6 yesterday...). Reason I don't like it that much (it's still interesting and kind of good)is well the main character, just don't like his attitude. But I guess that's the whole point of his attitude. Though expected him to change somewhat after whole "Ave Maria" incident and what the old lady said to him.

What i like so much about Shamo is that Ryu changes so much. From a normal teen to a man with serious moral problems. And that its so see to understand why his characther changes thanks all the people that hate him. I really feel sorry for despite he does horrible things.

Ooh, dance till tomorrow sounds great.. a long time since I've read good porn with a good storyline.

I tried looking for it, to no avail, where can you download it?

I watched the first episode of one piece.. and god, that dude irritated me so much I've never been able to read or watch more of one piece.. why it's so popular I'll never know.

I've read and enjoyed nausicaa, battle angel alita, hikaru no go, berserk, hunter x hunter and maar.

I also enjoy a number of american comics, if you can get your hands on "transmetropolitan" you'll be amazed, cleansed and mind-raped, but just a bit and in an enjoyable way.

basically, anything made by warren ellis, grant morrison or mark millar is gold.. grab it if you can.

Contrarily to some people I dont appreciate to be raped especially by a man...

Hehe :P


I'm reading Priest Vol 6 right.

Also read Hellboy: Conquerer Worm last night. It was the first time i buyed an Hellboy comic it wasnt cheap,it costed 25$. The book was so much better than the scans, the coloring is so much better.

A record for me i have never buyed an manga or a american comic that costed that much.

Here in Canada the manga that costed me the most was Island at 22$ canadian. Vagabonds are 20$ and others are under 20$.
