Let's have another manga thread for this night.
Started reading Dorohedo after years of being put off by it's art. Finished the first volume, it's good so far, have yet to find anything conclusive plot wise though aside have to find the guy who cursed me.
Also finally finished Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou early this week, I liked it quite a bit, but don't found it a timeless masterpiece like some people claim.
Both Dorohedoro and YKK are some of my favorites. I think YKK has been a bit oversold in the past few years on /a/. I do believe it deserves that praise, but some people can be way too enthusiastic about it. Dorohedoro's biggest strength is its cast of characters in my opinion. You begin to care about people on every side of the fights, which makes it really tense watching them fight each other.
Yesterday I bought Lychee Hikari Club and am starting to read it. I read the first few chapters back when Hox started translating it years ago and then it got delayed/stopped for a long time and got licensed. Not sure if it's online anywhere but I think it's worth the buy.
Also bought the final Punpun volume which came with a watch where the numbers are replaced by the transformations Punpun goes through in the series along with his mom and uncle.
Besides those I've been reading Ashita no Joe slowly alongside the anime.
New Dorohedoro chapter when?
Catching up on my Tezuka backlog. Lot of great stuff, some not so much (can't strike gold every time). I'm just glad that Tezuka is still getting English publications.
>>116691933
I agree with everything. I'm gonna probably read two or three more volumes of Dorohedo tonight and post my impressions about it.
The thing with YKK is that it probably got axed too soon, a lot of the plot elements were just ignored (i.e Misago, The guy with the flying fish, Takahiro grown up, Alpha sister which is flying, what happened to the world, that humanish stone thing, why there's people flying out there or why the surviving humans don't procreate more to not let them go extinct and so on, etc). In the end I felt like "Yeah, everybody died slowly and just the alpha sisters (and presumably the other robots) survived." Of course I knew plot wasn't the main point of the manga, but I don't know, felt cheap I guess.
Who worried that unique poster count is going to reveal there are only 6 different manga readers on /a/ here?
>>116692461
Reminder that official English translations of older manga are at the whim of whatever interests professional anime experts at the time
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou is shit. jesus christ
you guys probably like inio asano , kenji tsuruta and jiro matsumoto too
>>116691933
I'll agree that YKK is kinda oversold around here, but that's probably because it's not as well-known elsewhere. It's definitely one of my favorites, but it's not the sort of thing that has widespread appeal, like say, Aria (even though they share so much in common). YKK is much more slow and melancholic than Aria - at some points it feels as though it's Ashinano just developing his craft and scenery porn. Not to say that that's bad, but for some people it can be a bit sparce.
>>116692483
The 'plot' elements were absolutely never important. I'd say they were there mostly to establish more of the setting's tone - it's a world where so many things are unknown, and mysterious, and with slow development. I definitely wanted to see more of these things, but at the same time, I don't think it's in Ashinano's style to show so much. I imagine he could easily have done some great stuff with Alpha's sister flying on the Taapon, for instance. I'd have liked some resolution on that - with her presumably landing back on Earth eventually, and meeting others. But well, no use thinking on what could be.
>>116693013
>that unique poster count
What?
>>116693614
Look at the bottom right corner of your screen.
>>116692483
>YKK axed
Do you have a source for it being axed, or is that just speculation? Afternoon doesn't work on a popularity contest system.
>>116691933
Is that really you, Deepfag?
>>116693013
Y'know, sometimes I wonder.
>>116693708
I don't see it, must be my 4chan X fork. I only see the usual post count / image count / page number. I'll turn it off and look again.
>>116693173
Feels pretty shit
>>116691933
Do you have the watch? I was eyeing one online but I heard the band is big and I have skeleton wrists.
I just bought a tablet and started reading manga on that, although it's only 64 gig so I'll have to get a card or something to add stuff to. I've been reading SOIL and also have to look into getting the first volume of Densha Otoko. It's the version from CMX by the Yowamushi Pedal guy.
>>116693832
Pure speculation from my part, maybe he wanted to end it? I mean, there was a lot of key elements of the history simple felt ignored, last volume entirely was incredibly rushed compared to the rest of the manga, at least in my opinion. It was just Takahiro moves away, the girl wants to grown up, she got a job here and there, four chapters later they have a kid...."
>>116693865
I will probably be rightfully called retarded, but I still don't see a unique count.
>>116694153
For me it's on the bottom right of the page, some random numbers with dashes. If you hover the mouse it'll say which is which.
>>116694153
The hovertext is posters, not unique. Though I remember it saying Unique Posters prior.
I just finished Koharu no Hibi, are there any other good yandere manga like this? Has anyone else read it?
>>116694248
>>116694191
That's what I was referring to earlier. That's always been there, though, so that can't be what the announcement is talking about.
>have yet to find anything conclusive plot wise
oh boy, you're in for a spin
![f7bd9a4f46[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/ckmM8xf.jpg "f7bd9a4f46[1].jpg")
>>116694307
no
>>116694042
I'd say it was more a way of showing that as things went on in that last volume, the more time passed between chapters. Keeping in mind that YKK ran for a dozen years, regular readers would probably feel melancholic to see these characters grow up so fast, when for the majority of the manga they stayed the same age.
That's one of the things with YKK - Alpha can't visibly age, so she serves to remind us that aside from her, most things are ultimately transient, temporary. Her house breaking down from a storm, Takahiro growing up and leaving, Ojii-san and Sensei telling her stories of things that are gone... the last volume just hammers these things in by making them so sudden between each chapter.
>>116694341
The other numbers have always been there, but the "posters" one is new. It definitely did say "unique posters" for most of the day, it must have been changed in the last few hours.
>>116693013
Dump threads are going to be worse. These ones, probably not so bad since one person will chime in and never appear again.
>>116692461
Going to read Triton sometime soon. Recently finished Kodoku no Gourmet thanks to the person who posted it. If anyone wants it, either search to archive or the Illuminati bot.
Also, a little late there Vertical:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/daily-briefs/2014-11-08/vertical-adds-e-book-rights-for-tezuka-catalog/.80793
They decided to do Tezuka digitally.
>>116694153
Enable the native extension.
>>116694961
Forgot that I had to re-enable it. Not sure how I feel about this, it removes even more anonymity (OP not being able to bump their own threads also did that, to an extent). Oh well.
>>116693173
At least there's someone willing to do Tadao Tsuge, Matsumoto Masahiko and some more Mizuki.
>>116695051
It's just stupid. For the first time, I sent an email to moot.
>>116694307
I'll be frank, I didn't care at all for Koharu no Hibi. Yanderes are one thing, but trying to pass Koharu off as pure and sickly sweet struck me as superficial. I don't see what Akira saw in her. At least the story outright spells that Koharu likes him just because - an obsession that should frankly be unhealthy, but he just seemed to go along with dating her because she liked him - there's no real chemistry here.
>>116694893
It's the ebook rights for the titles they've already published. Meanwhile DMP is still doing Kickstarters.
>>116695092
RIP /yys/, any other small fanbase threads when it's now confirmed that there are, in fact, 5 posters in the thread. The post count is going to be used for trolling purposes. Let's go find out how many lovely Naruto posters there are in those threads. Almost 200.
>>116695170
i just saw him as a beta faggot, the whole manga was confusing as to why he kept putting up with all of her absolutely insane bullshit. Oh well, maybe it would have been expanded upon if the manga wasn't cut short.
>>116695337
With their most recent one failing miserably. Somewhat rightfully so.
>100 Backers
>$23,106 pledged of $380,000 goal
>10 days to go
That's really sad.
>>116695427
They were idiots and tried to do a giant one, rather than smaller, more manageable ones for each project. Why try to fund everything at once?
>>116695427
Also, considering they're OOP and most people don't know how to find all of them online (since they're not on your everyday online readers) they're probably going to get at least some extra life out of them. Especially Black Jack.
>>116695498
I wish that Vertical would get the rights to the previously-sealed Black Jack chapters. All but 3 were published recently, but Vertical only got 3 of them (they seem to think that they published all of the sealed chapters, so I guess this was before the new JP Perfect Edition releases).
Translations never.
>>116695427
Good riddance, I can't stand that company
Does anyone have chapters 21-23 of Schoolgirl Landlord Honoka and would you be willing to upload them somewhere? I tried to rip them myself with a python script i found in the archivehttp://pastebin.com/1tc7ADiS, but the series doesn't show up in the list.
>>116695937
What'd they do? Everyone seems to hate publishers, but I'm always out of the loop as to why. I can only say why for TokyoPop and maybe Viz.
>>116695427
yeah I knew that was going fail its way too much
I don't suppose anyone here reads World Trigger or anything like that? I found a year's worth of Viz rips of their weekly JUMP on a semi-private french tracker with literally 1 seeder on most of the torrents. Archiving for posterity, but my ratio is pretty bad now.
They're on t411, and inferring what everything means with Google Translate isn't hard.
Reading Bleach for some reason. Not sure how I'm feeling about it. I enjoy parts and don't enjoy other parts. Currently in the Arrancar arc and it's just alright.
Thinking of dropping it and just reading Eyeshield 21.
>>116696072
Your tastes vary between "shit" and "pretty all right".
>>116691036
So right now i'm reading Both Kingdom and the Ravages of Time.
Probably some of the better stuff i've read i'll admit.
>>116696145
I don't have a good excuse for picking it up. I could give you a list of what I have on my Batoto list but I don't think it would persuade you.
>>116696001
They have very low QC on their manga, take months to publish physical copies for some series and used to have a tendency to drop titles after one or two volumes. A lot of their stuff is also released in small publishing numbers so if you don't know about it being released it's gone OOP within a couple months.
Their hentai branch is apparently ok but the yaoi/bl side has always had issues. /a/ had a shitstorm about Fakku killing panda with c&ds but that sort of thing is what fujoshit have had to deal with for years because of DMG/DMP.
>>116696072
At least get to the end of aizens trolling, because he gets fairly amusing once it gets to fake karakura, then you can hold off till that magificent bastard shows up in the next few chapters again to read the last arc.
>>116695906
>I will never have sauce
All I can find is that it runs in Manga Erotics F.
>>116696001 TokyoPop was legit shit everyone got fucked over by their practices and Viz's dumb censorship just up the age rating if you have to and dropping of series .Vertical and Kodansha USA are ok since there committed to finish what they publish no matter what other than the Drops of God incident which another can of worms
>>116696332
>>116695906
Is it more ero-guro?
>>116695427

>$250 for 7 volumes of Rainbow Parakeet
>>116696365
>Drops of God
Semi-related note:
The creators now have a new manga on MangaBox. First chapter is out already.
>>116696365
I think Vertical also dropped the GTO series they licensed. Definitely something that was too big for them to start with, especially with the series not being as popular now as it was when Tokyopop was publishing it.
>>116696256
I can definitely attest to dropping shit. We will never get another Range Murata's Robot anthology in English.
![256391[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/XuPa8Py.jpg "256391[1].jpg")
I've found my waifu
>>116696522
It still makes me feel like shit.
I don't know how much you guys frequent /t/ but there is a ~200 GB download of manga on there.
>>116696395
Not that I've seen. I know that Samura's well-known for ero-guro, but I don't think his manga has that much ero-guro. Aside from that one Brute anthology, obviously.
>>116696563
>200GB
I easily have that much with hardly any long running shounen.
>>116696522
There are always scanlations. Our best bet is Roselia Scans, but they could use some improvement.
>>116696479
no they still chugging they along that stated that wont license any other GTO manga which sucks but thems the breaks
>>116696633
>use some improvement
No kidding. But at least they release Otomo and Ryuushika among other things.
>>116696657
Oh wow, I didn't even know they were still going through with it.
>>116696032
I find that World Trigger's fights are pretty good and it does things very cooly, with no leaps of logic or anything, but there's just something odd about the manga taken as a whole.
Its characters are too chill with the sort of situation they're in. There's hardly any tension to speak of, not when everyone present is serenely smiling all the time. It could use being more emotional about its developments - as things are it doesn't feel like anything's at stake.
>>116696590
The setup makes it sound like like secret police torture central, but maybe I'll give it a look.
>>116695990
That's mine, sure you got the title right? I'll check personally.
>>116691036
>reading manga with confusing as fuck plot
i had enough of those shit like air gear and TenTen
>>116696757
How far behind Viz are the current scans, cause I think the people could use them and these aren't easily available. There was some tumblr business that was doing stuff and that's how I found this in the first place.
>>116696806
I'm guessing your a comfyfag?
>new Anjuu no Chi chapter
Thanks the gods.
I stopped reading manga for about a year and am just getting back into. I feel like I'll never finish catching up on all this shit I'm in the middle of. It doesn't help that I hardly remember what is happening either.
>>116696072
Bleach isn't bad until mexico in my opinion.
>>116697048
I know right?
>>116696723
Drops of God was only thing they dropped that was due to SUPER unreasonable expectations of the licensors they wanted Naruto numbers which is super dumb manga is niche market
>>116697083
>v.1 c.5 by Tokyo Illusion & HappyScans! (1d ago)
>v.1 c.4 by Tokyo Illusion & HappyScans! (372d ago)
I'm still counting it as a dead scanlation, not getting my hopes up just yet.
>>116694349
its about friendship
I think this is a shot to nowhere but I might as well try...
Anyone know an action/crime manga from the 90s to 2004 that's like Gunsmith Cats but involves a secret organization that's kinda like the CIA and FBI?
The title is an acronym, like the R.O.D. series. I don't remember if this organization was trying to keep aliens/supernatural creatures secret from the public but it's a possible detail.
Been trying to remember this for the past year and I'm thinking this manga may be too obscure to find for me on the internet and the only solution is to go to the library I last borrowed the series from back in 2002-2004.
How do you guys manage to stay caught up on everything? I read both manga and western comics and feel like I'm becoming more and more overburdened.
>>116697166
The guy said another chapter before the end of the year. Hopes are still up. Curious as to how many chapters there are in total, cause that's nearly a volume surely?
>>116696806
Oh Great! is really shitty writer good artist but really shitty writer
>>116697251
Two volumes.
>>116697226I bought a tablet to make it easier to read in my spare time
>>116696783
Apparently nothing, either they removed them, or something is up with their system. Chapters aren't removed that quickly usually. I tried with author name and everything.
>>116697148
Licensors always seem to expect hits in Japan to be hits elsewhere. See: Moyashimon
>>116697226
I don't if it's monthly I like to read in volume chunks so I pick up the local release. Weekly's I do keep up with
>>116697226
MangaUpdates, RSS, used to use lists on reader sites.
>>116697226
Well, I don't also read western stuff, but I keep a goddamned catalog to keep track of almost everything I read. Things already read, the ongoings, and those 'to be read'.
And I still have trouble keeping up, even though I'm a shameful leech to society.
Has anyone scraped MU's metadata yet? That ship is definitely sinking. Grab it while you can.
>>116697503
I don't think people understand how long it would actually take. Especially if you're scraping beyond the series pages.
So is there a new place to download batches of manga yet? I can't bring myself to "stream" manga
>>116697216
They're pretty much like the MiB
>>116697558
That's why I'm saying that someone should start now. Imagine if we had this much forewarning about MT going down? We barely got out of that one.
>>116697566
This.
>>116697566
Fuck off, lurk more, and maybe check the archive you stupid piece of shit.
>>116697566
New as of when?
Anyone reading Crime and Punishment? Tezuka also did a C&P manga. How many notable works have been adapted into manga, anyway? I can't think of that many. All I know off the top of my head are Furuya Usamaru's No Longer Human and that Isaac Asimov's Foundation manga that started last year.
>>116697313
Actual app doesn't look like it has the series (or at least I can't find it), Play Store may have made them remove it?
>>116697360
yeah that was due too Del Rey to Kodansha USA switch I'm still hoping they rerelease it with Yozakura Quartet and Me and the Devil Blues I hear the excuse that those didn't sell well but I all counter with they came out during the manga crash and the fact its almost 10 YEARS MARKETS CHANGE but yeah I know most Del Rey guys aren't part of Kodasha Usa plus the Titan money gives you more time to do pet projects I'm just glad we got Vinland
>>116697740
Problem solved!
If you're still there, remove 'android' and put 'ios' and it works just fine.
>>116697728
How is it compared to the actual book? I remember finding the manga cover and it looked really silly.
Can't stop myself from reading Shoujo shit. I just love it so much.
Finished reading Reimei no Arcana the other day, it was great.
>>116697903
Dude, I like shoujo as well. Especially 80's sci-fi shoujo. Just as long as you're reading the better ones.
>>116697728
Curiously enough Digital Manga Guild, while I was trawling around their sites had C&P listed on their upcoming titles.
>>116697931
70s and 80's shoujo is more manly than modern shonen
>Comic Walker added Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service
Any idea if those are the Dark Horse versions, or what? I wonder if they'll produce it faster than Dark Horse in the end.
>>116697975
I didn't know they licensed Tezuka's C&P, thanks. I also forgot that DMG existed.
>>116698085
No idea, only the first chapter is available. Don't know if that's going to change, except in Japanese.
Related note, BookWalker for English was released, with older volumes for some series, likely expanding. They're hosting some Dark Horse currently.
>>116698085
WHY DOES DARK HORSE TAKE SO LONG TO RELEASE MANGA
>>116697226
I have a manga app that informs me new chapters are out.
>>116697789
Thanks, appchan is acting up so i missed your replies. I'm gonna test that out now.

But there is. In case you didn't notice, we have regular Naruto threads now. If it spreads, the admin will have to shut it down again while he figures out how to restrict traffic.

Worked like a charm. Thanks.

Report and ignore, nothing else you can do except shitpost because moot and the mods are sellouts.
>>116700767
Wow, you're right. He's being too selective about the bans, though, it's probably just a show of force to appease us.
>>116701146
Hell, it's probably a mod banning himself to try and keep up the charade.
>>116699584
What's the default download location? I don't see any rips, but Firefox is eating a fair amount of memory so maybe it's still running. I don't know what the ETA is, hence my question. Sorry about that.
>>116701564
It should just come up as a popup. Probably under the popup blocker. It's not exactly the most robust thing. I would suggest trying it with something small to actually see if it works, like Sgt Frog.

No text because it hasn't been typeset, not clean because I haven't taken the time to clean, only redraw.
>>116702369
You redraw on unleveled pages?
>>116702562
Occasionally. Usually I do it at final size after everything is said and done.
>>116702562
I'd assume it would be slightly less obvious.
>>116702647
There's not really much of a difference, at least in my opinion. It's just a matter of what you feel comfortable with. For the above pages, I needed to fix things before cleaning, so it was easier to do the redraws then than at the final point.
>>116702605
>>116702759
Hmm, I see. Are you fixing the bleedthrough?
>>116703066
Working on some pre-cleaning stuff with the bleed and the page that's bleeding through, but the majority comes out after leveling and dodging, so it's not terribly important that I do the things I'm doing.Flip the page that's bleeding through, invert it, overlay it over the bleed on low opacity.
-or-
Flip the page that's bleeding, overlay it over the bleed, set blending mode to Divide.

Oh, that's clever. Yeah, I generally make do with dodging but I'll try out that method next time.
>>116703489
This is what it looks like with the low opacity inverts. Don't remember the rotation on the individual pages of the spread, so couldn't counter rotate the pages bleeding through to match it better, but it does alright with a bit of manual positioning.

His latest series can't possibly be ero-guro. It looks like a series about some radio host or something.

Don't know if it's actually serialized or just another one shot, but the pages I posted are from ambiguously chapter 1 in this/last month's Harta. There's a one shot of it already though, and this chapter seems to predate that one shot chronologically, so I'd assume it is serialized.
Hey /a/, what are some of the essential manga that everyone should at least try reading?
Just started reading Kaiji and really enjoying it so far.
Have been reading through Rosario+Vampire.
Im on season 2 now and I have to say Ive really enjoyed it.
Watched the anime years ago, and while I liked it at the time the obnoxious amount of fanservice and ecchi wore on me.
Suffice to say the manga is a big improvement. Less obnoxious fanservice, had me dying several times, some pretty decent character development for the MC as well as the rest of the main cast.
This is the first harem manga Ive actually read since I started reading manga and I have to say Im really impressed with how well done it is.
>>116703996
No such thing. Except maybe Yotsuba. Otherwise, look at the wiki, charts and maybe Hox's list, especially for oneshots.
>>116703996
Whatever you like, anon. The only thing that matters is that you know where to look, and read enough, to find more manga you enjoy. And the more you read the more you find.

>there's always the comparison of Golgo 13 to James Bond
>later learn that Takao Saito actually wrote an official James Bond manga, but did Golgo 13 instead because there were less restrictions
>>116703996
If you're going to read FKMT you should read Kurosawa, plenty of /a/ has read it and it gets mentioned from time to time. Be warned of second hand embarrassment though.
Also, in my opinion, Kaiji and Akagi should be watched, if only for the based as fuck soundtracks and narrators. Unless you're past what's animated, then move along
>>116704150
Not expecting that. Seems to be around the same time as when he started Golgo.
>>116704234
>Be warned of second hand embarrassment though
Maybe I wasn't middle aged enough.
So I finished B Kei H Gata and thought it was pretty nice. Anime isn't as good but yeah.
I should read something that isn't comedy next.
>>116703996
A bit of everything.
>>116704270
He started Golgo right after James Bond, because Fleming died and the estate was cracking down on spin-offs by dozens of other writers.
>>116703686
yeah, it's the story of a girl who works at a restaurant, gets drunk and tells her story about getting duped by her boyfriend to a radio show producer, and then her story ends on air. Semi SoL/Drama stuff so far.
>>116704662
Ohikkoshi is still my favourite from him. Sounds right in the same alley.
>>116704662
That's unusual for Samura. Guess he wants to take a break from suffering.
>>116702319
maybe i can get started on it a little next week...
>>116697728
the man gatarou adaptation of Crime and Punishment is the best 8)
>>116704712
there's suffering in it, in terms of emotional suffering, just no limbs being lost.
>>116703573
Ends up looking about like this.

Every time.
Why is the lifespan/interest into these so random?
>>116705021
The oneshot was translated, right? Someone should put that on Batoto as a prep for this maybe-serialization.
>>116705301
Futari wa Pretty Anon did it.You'll never guess what group I do work at.
>>116705293
Maybe you were born in the wrong country.
>>116705349
They did? I don't see it posted on the site or Batoto, unless I have to dig through the archives.
>>116705293
>while asleep
I cannot imagine how many hours of sleep I've avoided by participating in manga threads over the last few years.

Can I assume it'll be posted to the site/Batoto alongside the serialized chapter, then? Nobuyoshi seems cool.

Neat. Guess I'll go check his Pixiv or something.
>>116704719
Please!
>>116692247
I would be over already if not for editorial order to extend it. This is why the later volumes drag like a snot.
Finished Gekiga Hyouryuu by Yoshihiro Tatsumi, glorious stuff
I'll try to finish Appleseed tomorrow.
Also, does Medaka Box get any good? or do I need a ph in Battle Shounen?
>>116705657
Just asked one of our contributors to throw it up there, so should be.
>>116705799
It's more fun reading the physical tome of it. Blasted through it in one long session. Borrowed it from the library before it got scanned. Read Akai Yuki yet?
>>116705468
Probably not until a full tank comes out? The story is still really early in development, so it's hard to see where it will go. It's only had 2 or 3 chapters. I think I also recall that this series isn't meant to go on for very long, but I don't actually know if that's just something I imagined.
>>116705735
>>116705502
For Wanitokagegisu, if anyone wants to help out deadbeat for redraws on it, that'd definitely speed things up. For a script I should be able to pick up where I left off sooner or later.
>>116705799
Your enjoyment of MB basically depends on how much you enjoy Nisioisin meta and how unattached you are to the initial premise.
Kumagawa parts are best parts, also it should have ended at the first ending. The real ending wasn't asfresh
>>116705847
It's a shame, I'd really like to be able to buy Tatsumi's work, but import costs are a bitch.
And yes, I really liked the Kappas story and the last one, I'm really getting into Gekiga stuff.
Recs?
>>116691036
to me the art is awesome but the plot basically doesn't exist, unfortunately. maybe I just didn't get far enough. but 4 volumes in it's basically just the main characters doing random shit.
>>116705924
hmmm, I really like all the meta stuff, specially Kumagawa's "All-fiction". But I feel like it becomes somewhat of a chore to read all that dialogue
>>116705914
>For Wanitokagegisu, if anyone wants to help out deadbeat for redraws on it,
I would if I could actually use any fucking editing software. I feel bad sometimes about wanting and asking for scans but never being able to contribute anything myself.
>>116705914
>>116706064
Same here, I feel useless
>>116705930
>Kappas story and the last one
You are literally my fucking nigga.
I'd assume you've done all of Tatsumi, Fallen Words, Black Blizzard and the three collection.
How much Tezuka have you done? Phoenix, Buddha, Apollo's Song, Book of Human Insects, Ayako? Not quite gekiga, but well influenced. MW and Ode to Kirihito are darker, not really a fan - I like the gekiga stuff by the actual gekiga guys.
Tsuge has some oneshots translated. Munou no Hito, one of his best, a series isn't fully done unfortunately, but god it's good.
There's A Single Match and A Box Man floating around. A Single Match is way over the head, still enjoyable. There's Red Colored Elegy, kind of like Asano but from decades ago, other people like it much more than I do.
Lone Wolf and Cub is good. Going towards more modern Garo and Ax, Jiro Taniguchi's works are impressive. Haruka no Machi E, Walking Man, Benkei in New York. If you haven't read Palepoli and Furuya's other stuff you should, and there's also Nishioka Kyoudai. There's always Golgo as well.
You might find Igarashi Daisuke interesting as well.
>>116706064
you can always support the author and buy a book of theirs or something and then just say a thanks to everyone else. I feel like that's the best way to give something back/support the point of scanlating the stuff if you don't have the means to do other things.
Has there ever been a good spin off manga?
>>116706199
And can't forget Shigeru Mizuki and Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths.
>>116706064
It's not some rocket science, anon. If you actually want to help, then why not start learning the shit?
>>116706271
Good question, there's no real excuse not to right? But I'm lazy and pathetic, and myjobtakes up all the time I don't use to read manga or dick about on /a/.
So for now I'll just have to continue to be a bottomfeeder and make excuses for myself.
>>116706199
I've read as much Tatsumi as the scans have allowed me. Abandon the Old in Tokyo, Good-Bye, The Pushman and other stories and Kurou Fuboki, I really enjoyed the exposition about the impact of this manga in Gekiga Hyouryuu
I have read as much Furuya as Scans have allowed me as well, my favourites so far are Palepoli, Hikari Club and Picasso
I read Alabaster by Tezuka, I downloaded Black Jack and Metropolis.I'll eventually will read as much as I can.
Red Colored Elegy is literaly perfection. Really liked it, touching stuff.
I read A Single Match, I didn't liked it too much but some stories were very good.
I have Walking Man and Hotel Harbour View on my hardrive.
Thanks for the recs, bro.
On the ohter hand my coriosity has lead me to read a few Yuri and I was wondering if there was a good realistic Yaoi that's not just fanservice.
>>116706509
Most likely year 24 group stuff, like from the 70s. They went sort of in parallel to the gekiga movement.
Heart of Thomas and other Hagio Moto spring immediately to mind.
>>116706509
>On the ohter hand my coriosity has lead me to read a few Yuri and I was wondering if there was a good realistic Yaoi that's not just fanservice.
You can try asumiko nakamura. She has some stuff that is more along the lines of that, but still quite compelling. I liked J no Subete a lot. Yamashita Tomoko also has some interesting stuff in those catagories.
The Year24 stuff is generally shoujo but there is a lot of overlap there with BL/Yaoi undertones and stuff.
As an aside, for stuff during the Garo/AX era there's actually an AX compilation book that was put out a year or two ago by top shelf. It's a little pricey and the quality isn't good, but the selection is pretty nice.
>>116706355
Well, in case of a desire to help and the lack of time, you can just drop 5 bucks to the scanner so people could get good scans to work with rather than public crap. At least you'll support the mangaka that way.
Provided that the scanner will accept the donation, though.
>>116706681
>a lot of overlap
They practically invented BL.
The compilation is alright. Volume 2 never.
>>116706681
Holy shrimps! I actually had planned to read "Copernicus no Kokyuu" I guess this is a call to get some action started.
>>116706756
Yeah, the first vol was delayed a lot as it was, I haven't even heard about a second one. I was really disappointed in the quality of the editing and typesetting, but they probably spent most of the budget on the selection.
>gekiga
Gekiga needs more love. If only someone would buy and scan those Garo/AX books.
>>116707739
There are some scans by TSOJ. I can't find the link for the entire set, I might reupload.
>>116707834
I think I might have those from his personal DDL link, but I forgot what the filenames are.
>>116707980
They're in the format: garo_23_33.zip
>>116706355
Just picking some scans from Kickthekitty and cropping and levelling it wouldn't be a bad place to start. You get to learn a few things. If you get any better you can try redrawing shit and joining spreads better, but it won't be any worse than scans straight from the scanner.
Just letting you know that New Game! was picked up by Scribble Scans and I'm glad to leave this in good hands, one less thing to worry about now.
