Posted by Kazegami on 07.04.2017, 11:34 PM: Ah, the internalised homophobia is strong with these ones too, huh... It doesn't annoy me so much as it's just boring now, so overused and overdone. Although, thinking about it, I guess that actually it's just that it's not usually executed well. Tasuku in Shimanami is grappling with some but the way it's shown feels much more realistic.

Posted by Kazegami on 07.06.2017, 11:07 AM: That's really interesting about the author, I had no idea. They seem like a rare breed of person... Didn't realise they were behind Nabari no Ou, either! It does explain where I've seen that lovely art style, though, I was thinking it looked familiar. I never did read it but watched the anime years ago. I remember how you used to talk about it here.

Old Xian has developed great characterization skills and her art has improved so much in a short time. She's so good at the small moments and development. I mean the plot could've been improved but honestly could just live for the characters.

|
Posted by husky51 on 09.09.2017, 06:30 PM: Starting with a new series.. "Train man" by Hidenori Hara...

Posted by husky51 on 10.22.2017, 02:14 AM: Just finished the "Chobits" manga, all 8 volumes... Going to watch the complete anime in the near future... |
Posted by husky51 on 11.23.2017, 03:55 AM: Not manga, per se, but got my latest copy of "Otaku USA" in the mail today...

Posted by Saddletank on 11.27.2017, 06:08 PM: I've been re-reading Aku no Hana and thoroughly enjoying it, so very intense and well drawn and well written. I can only take it in short sessions though as I think soaking it all up in a long session will probably make you as crazy as the main characters. I especially like the second half - the story with Tokiwa more than the story with that insane Nakamura!

Posted by arren18 on 01.13.2018, 09:51 AM: I just got the first volumes of two manga in the mail yesterday. One is Houseki no Kuni, as I want to read it after having finished the anime (which is very good! I recommend it highly!). The other is Seishun Kishinden! 240 Gakuen. It's a comedy crossover of various Nishio Ishin (Monogatari, Katanagatari, Zaregoto, etc) characters, and although I haven't read any of it yet or even know much about it, I expect it'll be pretty funny.

Posted by husky51 on 02.12.2018, 04:29 AM: Went out to get something to eat and I like reading a book when I'm by myself (which is most of the time when I'm out). On the way out, I grabbed a manga book and it happened to be "Love Hina", volume 1, of course. I'm now on vol. 4 and will go through the whole series. I laugh out loud at times at the situations that poor Keitaro finds himself in... Usually with him ending up getting clobbered... mostly through no fault of his own lol

Posted by husky51 on 02.12.2018, 04:52 AM: When I was going out to eat a few days ago and, since I like to read while eating out, I grabbed a manga off the shelf. Volume 1 of "Love Hina"... I get a laugh out of the different situations that poor Keitaro finds himself in when he goes to his Grandmothers hotel and finds out that he has been made the owner and landlord and the hotel has been turned into a girls dormitory. The poor guy, mostly through no fault of his own, finds himself in embarrassing situations that usually end up with him getting clobbered...

Posted by husky51 on 03.03.2018, 10:13 PM: Finished "Love hina" and tried to re-read "Kiss Me, Kill Me" but after 2 volumes, just couldn't get into the storyline... I had trouble telling one character from another and was just getting confused... I don't recall it being this bad when I first read it a few years ago...

Posted by Saddletank on 03.04.2018, 06:58 AM: Have you read Kare Kano before? It was among the first non-Ghibli anime I watched and went out to buy the full set of manga on the basis of the failed/early ending of the anime.
|
Posted by husky51 on 03.04.2018, 11:58 AM: Yes, I have read it before, but have forgotten most of it at this point. Yukino and Soichiro are off to a good, if bumpy, start in Vol 1...
