Which Mangas are you reading?

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Sun Dec 04, 2005 10:50 am

i'm so computerized I don't like reading paper anymore, I even read novels on the computer. Plus I want my pages to be BIG. AND I hate books that can gather dust. So I don't own any printed manga. Well, I'd have to buy German, too, which is a major bore.

I've just read vol. 4 of d.gray-man, it's really not bad, although I do believe it's a rather simple story. Even bleach had more character development in the earlier volumes.

Hi there, me again; I've discovered some supercool stuff by a fave author of mine, called KANEKO ATSUSHI. His art is very interesting since it's half-"manga" and the other half inspired by comics; once again the ink job is so cool I'm praying to God every day I had the same, and the story is really rock'n'roll with a kickass heroine.

Unfortunately, I don't have it in scanlations, but you can purchase the book since it's out in the US (it's only two volumes).

Here you can find information plus you can view some of the first pages.

Oh, and it's "Parental Advisory" so nobody can accuse me of recommending wishy-washy shoujos again

See ya ^____~

I hate that kind of drawing style.. Goes too much towards western comics, and when I read them, I'm reminded of how bad most of them are.

I'm more at home in Enki Bilal-esque feel of Tsutomu Nihei.

Art in that manga is horrible in my eyes too much comics like for my taste.

i've just picked up Death Note, and I can't believe how I missed this earlier. It's really fucking great, at least as far as I've read it (which is just the first volume). I can't wait to read more.

Oh wow. In the begining Death Note is ridiculously gravy. I couldnt stop reading. I will once again start reading it though. Once I remember where I left off.

Heh thats shit compared to latest chap things are beyond awesome.

I cant wait till you catch to the latest chap to see what do you think about DN where the story is now. Also isnt the art style great?

Buz: i think you were chapter 70 something, you can just check those chapters until you remember where you left off.

Not really, I also am not a hard core fan of DN. I dropped off at chapter 55. The reading of one chapter took 20-30 minutes, and it was becoming repetative.

The first manga fan ever to complain of how long it takes to read a chapter.

I can understand if you dont like DN, if you dont want a thriller that is so diffrent from anything then DN is not for you.

In my eyes its just gets better all the time. Now its in my top 5 mangas thanks to the new arc.

Ai Yori Aoshi, Angel Sanctuary, and Doll.

Honestly speaking there are a few details I also didn't like in DN, but that's the problem when a mangaka is trying to portrait a group of very intelligent people. Sometimes the author just isn't intelligent enough himself to convincingly manage that.

For example that FBI agent's fiance was also initially portrayed as quite smart, later she turned out pretty stupid.

Post by **Libaax** » Mon Dec 12, 2005 5:32 pm

How was she stupid? Care to explain?

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Mon Dec 12, 2005 6:12 pm

Well, I don't know, she just gave out her name and went to die. Unless she's not dead after all.

Thats normal i think cause like everyone else at that time they didnt expect Kira to be a school boy.

My mistake, let me correct myself

. I don't mind reading large texts, as long as it gives new info, not info that has been mentioned 3 times.

Well, I´m doing Berserk and The blade of the inmortal, and I had in mind Yotsuba! too.
And many more that read in the computer, like NHK, for example. XDDD

Well been catching up to volume 23 now with "Beck".
I really do love this manga

Still I want to know if anyone got somewhere you might get ahold off a place you might get descent translations on the new chapters coming out
(I didnt know Beck was an ongoing project still).

Guess I´ll have to entertain myself with "Satan666" and "Hajime No Ippo" until the next one comes out..

Post by **Libaax** » Thu Jan 12, 2006 11:44 pm

Haha HNI is like the best manga ever and you think it will only entartain you while you wait for beck

There arent more than 23 vols of Beck scanned and you find all of beck in #lurk.

Post by **Loeviz** » Fri Jan 13, 2006 2:25 pm

Haha, well I haven´t started to read it yet so I don´t really know yet do I

I became curious cause your always talking about it Libaax

But for real, how many volumes are there off Beck then?

Post by **Libaax** » Fri Jan 13, 2006 2:40 pm

The raw for vol 24 has been out in a very long time but i geuss the group Mangaone has a problem.

Well HNI is pretty famous so i thought you knew what people think about it.

Post by **Buzkashi** » Fri Jan 13, 2006 3:11 pm

They scanslated 24. Its low quality though. But still it gets the story around.

Post by **Libaax** » Fri Jan 13, 2006 3:24 pm

When? i have been waiting for a long time.

Post by **Buzkashi** » Fri Jan 13, 2006 3:40 pm
