I bet you haven't read more than 10 series on this chart.
>>134976243
I get too emotionally invested in manga and feel like shit after I finish a really good one
>>134976456
And that's an excuse to keep reading shit ones, or avoiding them entirely?
>>134976513
the latter
>>134976243
Where is Hunter X Hunter ?
>>134976654
In the top text. You can't even get to the chart before supposedly reading it.
>>134976243
There are more titles on that chart that I have read than haven't.
The longer I keep up with this hobby the more I find manga more appealing than anime. Still spend a lot of time on both, but manga has more to offer variety and creativity-wise. At any given time I'm usually reading a ton of different ongoing manga, one or two completed titles from my backlog, maybe a reread here or there, (KnJ right now,) plus following seasonal anime and chipping away at my anime backlog here and there.
A faggots work is never done.
>>134976549
>>134976513
>>134976456
You know I have this problem and it's killing me. Whenever I finish a really good movie/manga/anime/book/album I can't bring myself to move on to something else because I'm too afraid the next thing will be disappointing and I'll lose something. Doesn't seem to happen with vidya for some reason though.
I read aqua knight and it was pretty shitty
>>134976822
It's why you'll never make a success of your life.
the top text is ruining everything. There's good mango on that list but holy shit gtfo with one piece and hxh
>>134976834
I've heard that one too. But, Gunmm used to be all the rage. At least when this chart was made and when LO wasn't a complete disappointment. I mean there's still Mirai Nikki on the list when people on /a/ actually enjoyed it (ironically I suppose you would call it these days).
>>134976901
Just read the first chapter of HxH and you'll be consistently up-to-date minus some offset.
What the fuck even happened to OP? Especially the threads. They'll just gotten worse.
>>134976243
Why do people include things on entry-level charts that aren't available in English? Almost no one who needs a list like this is going to be able to read Golgo 13.
>>134976954
This isn't an entry level chart though.
>>134976844
Yeah you're probably right.
>>134976974
This is an entry level chart. It used to be handed out to every rec thread for manga.
>>134976954
That is like the only exception that I can even see. I mean you still get the how many volumes Viz or whatever put out.
>>134976243
What is Battle Royale doing on that list? It's a fucking trainwreck.
>>134977030
Also, I imagine some of the people making these charts weren't solely English speakers.
>>134976243
All those mangas that I realy want to read but i'm too lazy, damn.
> that pic for gantz
kek
>>134977042
The movie was alright. The manga used to be unusually popular. God fucking knows why. I don't know about the novel.
>>134976974
Not Nurutu-tier entry level, but anyone who's been reading manga for a few years wouldn't need to be recommended the vast majority of these, and the people who would need it are not going to know Japanese nine times out of time.
>>134976243
Pretty good but Saikano's fucking awful and should be removed.
>>134976901
HxH deserves to be on the list, fucktard.
>>134977094
You want this chart.
>>134977114
>God fucking knows why
I'll tell you why: it's absolutely terrible. One of the most disgusting character design of all times and the worst handle of drama I've ever seen.
>>134977171
Or this and the other one. It was updated, but I don't know where that went.
>>134976243
20 for me. ten more of the anime adaptions, and ten that I dropped.
>>134977224
>>134977094
10, 20, what's the difference?
>>134977171
>>134976243
What's the difference between those two?
>>134977245
One is the 'hipster' side according to shitposters. Part 2 has a lot of gekiga, 70s manga, Ax/Garo as well licensed stuff that wasn't actually scanned until recently. Frogs or other Euros must have made that one for sure.
>>134976243
Exactly 10.
And like 45 if you consider it's anime adaptations.
>>134976834
There's tons of shitty stuff on this chart. It's pretty entry-level, so accessible crap is obviously going to make an appearance.
>>134977275
And the scans that do exist don't exist on any online readers.
This makes me feel bad, I've been putting a lot of these off
Also where's Berserk and RoV?
>>134977090
>mangas
>kek
>>134977590
In the very top text
Now go read Angel Densetsu
>>134976243
I feel like Haikyuu is severly underrated because of the fujo fanbase. If Eyeshield is on there then so should Haikyuu.
>>134977590
>RoV
That's actually a very good question. I would've thought it would be in this chart of the next, but it's not. Even Hagio Moto and Keiko is mentioned in the bottom authors. But not Ikeda.
>>134977590
>Hasn't read Angel Densetsu

>>134977695
You realize this chart is like 6 or 7 years old.
I think 53? Might've miscounted or missed some
A good amount of these i should've read but i haven't read manga in a good 6 months. Im behind on games, books and manga right now. It's hell
>Golgo13
there is like under 100 people worldwide who have read all of this, shit is too long and missing chapters
>>134977695
This chart was made before Haikyuu even existed. Also Eyeshield has much better art.
>>134977769
Including the Japanese, I doubt it.
>>134977710

I've read the other three but not Vagabond.

>>134977821
Thought it was on the decline lately?
Also ALL of it. I feel most of its fans are past 5-10 years and have missed most of the early shit. Theres probably more than 100 but there is not alot
>>134976943
What the fuck are you even saying?
About 70. Try me.
>>134977918
Lots of editors most likely have. Editors don't have shit taste like people seem to think. Only the JUMP ones. Manga lists based on editor personal rankings seem to produce some pretty good results. A recent one put Dungeon Meshi first.
>>134976243
>Liar Game
Does anyone actually think this shit is good?
>>134978285
Theres worse things than Liar Game on there
>>134978285
I think they did. But when a hiatus occurs, everyone reflects a little and realizes what the fuck they were reading. I got the impression it was good up to some point and then it wasn't worth the effort. That was when the series actually ended. There's so many dead manga fanbases when you look at it. /a/ has been pretty blank of manga in the past two years.
>>134978217
Also add GTO in there since I forgot about that.
>>134976243
Nine. Fuck. Do the ones at the time count?
>Mirai Nikki
>>134977072
No. That chart was 100% a weekend on /a/ deal. We're just elitist like that. Even more so in 2008.

I think they're nooses.
>>134978481
It was flavor of the month on /a/ when the chart was made.
>>134976243
back to facebook OP.
>>134978508
No.
>>134978555
Even Hox still defends it. As far as I recall.
But yes, FOTM ends up propagating some shit series.
>>134978559
What the fuck do you even mean by that?
>>134978597
Does he? Huh. Well I never liked it much from the beginning.
Speaking of chart fags, is the colored list guy dead and gone? Did he stop updating his shit list with slightly less shit highlighted?
>>134976243
Finished twenty. Read part of/watched the anime of ten more.
There's some really good stuff in this chart but shit like Doubt should be taken off.
>>134978687
It's shit like Doubt and Mirai Nikki that this chart ever gets talked about strangely enough.
>>134977171
>>134978559
No, seriously, what's with the influx of normalfags recently? Everything was nice and normal a few months ago, but since about 6 months ago the board has gone straight to shit. Not even "Night time /a/" is safe now.
Are we getting raided? I don't want to believe that /a/ has fallen this low. The post in this thread and many others look like something out of fucking Facebook.
I'm actually convinced 95% of the post in this thread are being posted by some IRC chat trying to troll us. It's fucking impossible that there are so many normalfags actively posting in this board. It's insane.
You waltz in, completely disregard the established board culture, do whatever the fuck you want, call whomever you disagree with "kids," and you say you are not being selfish? Just kill yourself. The human race can do without people like you.
>>134977171
>Shoujo Fight
Why the fuck would anyone include things that all groups refuse to pick up (one chapter every two years is not picking up) despite raws being available for a long, long time already?
And these charts seem pretty biased towards seinen by the way.
>>134978834
I'm not sure who you are talking about.
Are you mad at the thread in general? Because I'm enjoying my 2008 nostalgia thread.
Are you mad at the people posting what they have read? We've done that before. Nothing wrong with it.
Are you mad at the guy saying go back to Facebook? I can see that, but I'm not following the conversation there.
>>134978518
I haven't tried any of them, so I don't really know.
>>134976243
Well
>>134978947
>replying yo pasta
Why.
>>134978782
The second chart has some good quality series. Pick up Sangatsu no Lion. And why not the Tatsumi? You read Tsuge but not Tatsumi? You've even read his stories in Ax.
There's like two series that haven't been scanned on that chart I think. Summit of the Gods and With the Light. Oh and House of Five Leaves only has the first few volumes.
>>134978946
>And these charts seem pretty biased towards seinen by the way.
That's pretty obvious. Someone made a shoujo/josei chart but I think that was lost to the sands of time. Fuck, archive come back up. I need to find it actually.
>>134978988
I haven't been able to lurk often the last few years.
Ignorance and confusion.
>>134979096
>Sangatsu no Lion
I'm trying to avoid ongoing series, since I'm following way too many. I'll probably read it once it's completed, or if I'm ever in the mood, I guess.
As for Tatsumi, I just didn't have the occasion.
>>134978946
Entropy was a good group. Bummed when they died. Which they basically did years ago. Still bunch of series that no one else picked up to this day.
Damn these charts take me back. Has there been any more made for manga? There's a ton for anime but not too many for manga, at least from what I've seen.
>>134977590
>This makes me feel bad
Good, mend your sorry ways.
>>134979371
Not really. As if /a/ had any actual manga taste to speak of these days. OPT are full of harem, ecchi garbage or when they're feeling dark, edgy bullshit.
Green - read all chapters available at the time of reading (might not be up to date now)
Orange - tried reading, dropped for whatever reason
Blue - didn't read, but watched anime
no mark - didn't read, didn't watch
>>134979440
>Bokurano blue
Fix it now.
>>134979440
The rest of the orange I can probably understand, but why'd you drop Joe or Sanctuary?
>>134979440
>Bokurano
>didn't read, but watched anime
You fucked up big time.
>>134979470
Not him, but the only thing of value produced from the series was the OP.
>>134978677
>Speaking of chart fags, is the colored list guy dead and gone?
Last update I saw was in the Fall. He said he wasn't reading much anymore, and that more and more crap was going on the list, overshadowing the actually good manga.
>>134976243
>takemitsu zamurai is STILL not on the list
fuck off
>>134979333
Fair enough, I hated that the scanlation group just didn't bother with the series for years. But the most recent volume was really satisfying. Too bad /a/ doesn't even really follow the series anymore.
>>134976243
I see Ghost in the Shell therefore it is marked with my approval
>>134979584
Matsumoto is in the list of authors so there >>134977171
Read some Hanaotoko.
>>134979478
I don't remember what exactly made me drop Joe, it wasn't really bad.
Sanctuary - it seems I actually mistaken it with Heat, which was released in my country several years ago. That means I probably haven't read Sanctuary at all.
I've read 35 of those. Some others I've started but never finished
>>134980057
>never finished
Like what?
>>134977171
No Takahashi Yusuke on the authors list?
Read a solid 80%, but I've slowed down on anime and manga over the years. The normalfag infection is getting to me.
>>134976243
32 outtah whatever
>>134977171
Blue spring was better as a movie but mangas still good
>>134979511
From the anime, yes.
>>134980320
I assume you mean Yosuke? He didn't even have anything in English until recently. I don't think he has much representation in other weeb countries either. Man Eater was pretty good.
>>134980421
I like Matsumoto, just sometimes it just doesn't hit the right chord. Blue Spring is one of those series. I like his actual sustained stories than his shorter ones.
>>134976243
This chart is awful
>>134980531
Please elaborate. We need this discussion. Cause most people read like a bit of the chart and declare it shit just the same.
>>134980477
Ya that's why I like the movie more. It got the feel across better then the manga did even though it was the adaption.
>>134980531
Produce a better one.
>>134976243
90% of these have an anime.
>>134980604
That ruins the series or only covers a third of it, sure.
>>134980604
Good stuff gets animated. News at 11.
>>134980604
How about the other chart? And that seems pretty overestimated.
>>134978782
House of Five Leaves, Adolf maybe, Litchi Hikari Club (hah). That's about it.
>>134979620
Don't worry, once the anime airs it'll be popular again.
>>134977171
I read the first few chapters of Usagi Drop and thought it was boring as hell. Is the anime better?
>>134980779
Like Silver Spoon?
>>134980805
Was Silver Spoon ever popular?
I feel like Sangatsu had a much larger fanbase.
>>134980800
Depends on what exactly you find boring as hell. It's a SOL series about raising a child which isn't your own, at least from the perspective of the anime.
>>134980800
Yes, because the timeskip isn't animated.
>>134980832
For a while, every chapter had a new thread on /a/. 100, 200 posts at max, but a fanbase. The anime revived it a little, but hiatus hasn't been kind.
>>134980565
There's a few I haven't read but there are lots of bad manga on the chart and a lot of good manga missing.
>>134980600
If I have time around christmas I'd definitely be up for making a new chart. I'll make a list of good manga when I get a chance.
>>134980922
>a lot of good manga missing
That's pretty much inevitable unless you want to make some massive chart.
>>134980963
It's also 7 years out of date, where many manga went to shit.
>>134980879
You mean after or before the anime?

Anon...
>>134977979
what is your opinion on nijigahara holograph and have you seen himizu live action movie?
>>134980477
I do indeed mean Yosuke, sorry about that.
I really like Mononoke Soushi, it's probably one of my favorite manga period.
You're right, though. I was looking for info on some italian/french sites and I didn't really find anything, so I'm guessing he's not that popular in other weeb countries as well, which is kinda funn if you consider how well Hirano speaks of him and whatnot.
>to get your manga fix visit #lurk
>>134981147
It's time. We have the resources. We have the MT torrent. We can do it.
>>134981130
I guess that's why Hox wanted to do his series. I'm glad he did. Can't wait for when Sangokushi finishes.
>>134977710
Claymore is bad senpai.
>>134981064
>Holograph
Not for the faint of heart. Worth reading I guess, but not necessarily worth reading over and over again to get all the different plot points and time looping. I'm told it comes out to something quite rich, but here I am reading all this other manga instead. There are summaries of the events as much as people can decipher them, I thinkmangafoxforums had one. I don't know if it was any good, just that it was mentioned quite often.
Nope, haven't seen the Himizu live action. But I don't really have a high opinion of the series. It was as about grimderp edgy as I was expecting going into it. Maybe a bit less at first, but definitely the end got there. I'm more a fan of Furuya's comedy series like Boku to Issho to be sure.
>>134976243
I can't read anything but subtitles.
It's a disorder.
>>134976243
Are any of these non edgefests? Im halfway down the list and it all looks grimderp. I prefer more lighthearted, comedy, or slice of life manga.
>>134981585
you read his post
>>134981628
Gon, Corpse Delivery, Pushman (depending on your definition of edgefest), Midori no Hibi, Tekkonkinkreet maybe. Mushishi, as well, but I assume you've watched it. The first chart is more action definitely.
The second chart might be more your style >>134977171
>>134976243
Joke's on you you fag, that's the list that I originally built my manga backlog off of.
>>134981721

I actually loved gon. The little guy bit a hurricane and road it with sheer force of will.
Just bought mushishi but havent recieved it yet.
>>134981628
Dr. Slump is a fun gag manga
>>134981628
/a/ was probably still teenagers at this point. Which would help explain. Walking Man by Jiro Taniguchi would be a good choice. But yeah, you don't see shit like Sekai Maou or Kyoukai Senjou no Limbo. That seems to be a relatively new thing to scanlators.
>>134981989
>>134981937
>>134981717
Welp thanks. Adding to my backlog now.
I dont know if anyone here has read it but the my girlfriend kana was a good SOL manga that I recently enjoyed. Even if it was pretty ecchi. It was also pretty heartwarming.
This list is pretty pathetic desu senpai. I consider myself pretty entry level and I've easily read over 10 from the list. Why the fuck is Claymore on there? It's pretty damn shit, Gantz too. At least Gantz was amazing when it was good, Claymore was only pretty good at it's best. Both series shit the bed at the end. Berserk isn't on the list even though HnK is in the pre reqs and the list. So I guess I'm to assume the author thought Claymore is better than Berserk, which is honestly mindblowing that anyone could think that.
>no change123 or Zatch Bell
>>134982077
>desu senpai
We know you're an entry level casual. But this is the state /a/ is reduced to. Fags who haven't even read 10 series from here. No need to supply any more of those entry level series.
> Berserk isn't on the list
What? It's literally the first thing on the chart. You have to realize this chart was made like 7 years ago. When Gantz wasn't complete shit either and when it was still entertaining.
>>134981937
Finally got rips.
>>134982227
You don't read too well do you?
>>134982315
Well some of the post I was reading was incomprehensible. You can't blame me.
>>134982335
I'm sorry you're so bad at reading comprehension.
>>134982067
The manga used to be all the rage. I don't even know what garbage /a/ seems to go on about these days.
>>134981015
That was before the anime. After the anime, there was a few maxed threads here and there, but it didn't last very long.
Perfect thread for this QUESTION: What the name of that manga where the main character is a 30 year old kissless NEET and then he dies and is reborn in a land of magic as a boy with all his memories and is like a prodigy by their standards?
>>134980367
118 for anyone that cares. 10 series is piddly squat on this chart. I would've thought it was a joke, but apparently not.
>>134980348
Buy a tablet I guess. I'm tempted myself.
>>134982707
Boku no Google.
>>134982707
That sounds like a lot of things. Especially with all those RPG type LN/manga like where the MC is reborn as a slime. I seriously could not distinguish that from a dozen other series. No joke.
>>134982781
I tried. I can't remember enough about it to have keywords. What I've said and where I stopped is all i remember.
>>134982801
The kid (the 33 year old incarnated kid) is a huge perv, is dad is a cheating swordsman, his mom has tits, his teacher, before going into the royal city or whatever to become a tutor himself, was a witch who looked like 14 but was maybe older? He masters water magic at home, his final test is to make it rain. He begins teach a dedere bitch and only gets her respect when he saves her from being kidnapped and rapes (he had planned to fake a kidnapping but she actually was kidnapped).
>>134982912

National Quiz in its own right is a question on conformity, I mean it's not like Akumetsu or anything but I guess it depends on exactly what the guy meant by edgy.
>>134983318
Every time. Every time.
>>134983318
That was one of the best chapters though.
>>134983343
Yeah, it's looking like an end of February finish. Been too busy for most of this month to work on it.

Acceptable favourite Kitoh manga:
Noririn

>>134983387
No Christmas surprises then this year? I hope other scanlators have something decent in store. I always like a good Christmas release.

Which Tatsumi story is this?
>>134983524
All the rage now and all the rage before is pretty different though. All the rage before meant all the animefags who didn't read manga also read it. Now it just means all the OPT fags.
>>134983440
Really, Noririn? I admit I haven't read much of it but it kind of started off pretty bland.
I liked Wings of Vendemiere better than both those two, and I'd give my soul to see Kitoh bring back Owari to Hajimari Miles. It seemed like it had so much promise.
>>134983519
Hmm, I suppose I could do like a oneshot or two for Christmas. But certainly nothing like an entire 1-volume manga. I've been focusing on whatever free time I have on either Sangokushi or finishing my last history book for the year.
Do you have any suggestion for oneshots?
I'm at 52, I used to believe in this list but a bunch of shitty manga dissapointed me on this list.

It's interesting from a cycling perspective. I just didn't want to name any SUFFERING series. I actually have to read Wings of Vendemiere.
>>134983651
Such as?
>>134983715
I'm a huge fan of bittersweet stuff, which is why I liked both Vendemiere and Kitoh in general.
>>134983579
Of all the things, why do you fixate on Tatsumi? How many of these series on the charts have you even read yourself? Most of them? All of them?
>>134976243
24. What do I get faggot? I just feel emptier telling some random fuck on the internet he's wrong about me.
>>134983861
Next week OP will post 25. Then 30. Then 50.
>>134983793
It's probably most. These old charts are only really good for 'here is a bunch of series'. I don't have any fixation on Tatsumi moreso than anything else, his stories have appeal for their rawness and he can make tense situations, but at least half of his stuff put out in English is some variation of lonely and damaged men in weird sexual situations
>>134982707
Mushoku Tensei - Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu
>>134983953
I still can't believe DALshit is on here. Obviously there are things that you know are not to your taste. But it is a good way to try new things, if new things is actually what you needed.
>>134983981
Congrats, you can google "water magic neet manga"
All these charts are always pretty old. There a chart for works from just the past 5 years or so?
>>134984027
It was made when many series were still running like
>Claymore
>Gantz
>Mirai Nikki
>MGX
Because they were all good and popular at that point but as they went on it was evident they are not up to par. Also a bunch of other suspect choices
>>134984148
We could certainly make one. Prepare for newfaggotry and rage. I actually have no idea how they managed to make these things in the first place.
>>134983649
>suggestion for oneshots
Are there actually raws for World Apartment Horror? I remember that Christmas oneshot that some Italian translated for us. The stories are possibly interlinked, but maybe there's something decent.
>>134984204
Where did all the mangafags go? As much as I dismay about this place, there's not really any reasonable alternative I've ever seen.
>>134984447
To OPT circlejerks presumably
>>134984481
Somehow I doubt that. That's just full of endless newfags. It seems more likely they're in Panda threads or something. 3x3 threads used to feature more manga, but now they're all actual circlejerks instead of people with any real sense of taste.
>>134984248
Well, just throw some names for starters. I haven't kept up with many of the recently translated stuff in the last 5 years so it'd be nice to see.
Dungeon Meshi
Mahou Tsukai no Yome
Azumi
Nobunaga no Chef
Uhh... What else?
But I've read mostly all of those except for the few that suck and I dropped.
>>134983018
I figured it out with three.
>>134984540
There's no place for manga threads without creating a circlejerk general atmosphere
Give up
>>134976243
Terrible chart.
>>134984558
Kakukaku Shikajika
Terrarium in a Drawer
Ashizuri Aquarium
Henshin no News (or other series by him)
>>134984628
We'll give that dude the benefit of the doubt of being retarded. Although more keywords can get worse results. You have to do a subset search sometimes to get the right ones.
>>134984361
http://manga-zip.net/archives/8102.html
I think the link's still active.
Any other suggestions?
>>134984579
What are the ones you dropped
>>134984632
But can't I have a decent thread more than once a month? I count one in November. One in October and one in September. It's not a joke.
>>134984749
That's how generals start
That's how you get OPT, 3x3, loli, it's time, drawfag, MGs, buyfag and other crap.
It doesn't work like hey it's a manga thread so I'm going to just post about what I've been reading and have a gay old time
The idea of a 'manga thread', a thread to just discuss manga, is incredibly conductive to the general environment. It's a slippery slope
>>134984558
Silver Spoon
Suicide Island (I actually haven't kept up lately)
I Am a Hero (but I think I'd reserve judgement till the end)
Jacaranda
Something Takahashi Yosuke
Hansel and Gretel by Otomo
Imperial Guards might have been my manga of the year (I wish the novels were translated)
>>134984665
New Blood Diver Ringo and the Goldfish Bowl Man (as well as the original Blood Diver Ringo and the Goldfish Bowl Man since that wasn't on the list)
Gisele Alain
Tonari no Seki-kun (remember when there used to be threads about this? I think scanlations are dead right now though)
Hinamatsuri
>>134984921
It's exactly what DEEPFAG tried. And mangafags eventually tore his threads to shreds as well as IRC making him a target. I just don't understand how badly animefags have just fucked themselves over and /a/ over. Even mangafags piss on scanlation threads if they happen too often. It's always outsiders trying to keep their threads up ala reddit or tumblr, in this case Jcafe.
>>134984961
Oh fuck, yeah Tonari no Seki kun translator died. /a/ used to follow Donyatsu as well. I don't know how much wide appeal that has though.
>>134985082
And Dowman Seiman series. There's none of those here.
>>134976243
Blame
Bokurano
Doubt
Gantz
Good night Pun Pun
Kodomo no Jikan
Mirai Nikki
Pluto
Saikano
Welcome to NHK
>>134984951
The Legendary Musings of Professor Munakata
Chinggis Khan
Mononoke Soushi (or some other Takahashi Yousuke manga that's actually getting translations)
What's that incredibly Western-esque noir action story with a T-rex as the hardboiled detective? That was sort of popular when it was getting translations on /a/.
>>134985082
Deepfag was already involved with those people, it was nothing new.
/a/ is in function a seasonal anime board to post about. Big shounen manga have regular threads too. Because of how shit the board is, there's no way for manga threads to happen especially without it warping into a general and also because of how shit the userbase is, as you can see by the 'mangafags' and their own shitting
>>134985206
>action story with a T-rex as the hardboiled detective
What.
>>134985206
Keyman.
>>134985206
It's Keyman, grandpa. Put down the ancient history textbooks and pick up a comic
>>134985082
>Tonari no Seki kun translator died
Holy shit. Damn, I didn't know about that.
Also, speaking of translator drama, Peeping Hole was another manga that was really popular for a year or so.
Oh and might as well add Prison School since it's ridiculously popular now.
>>134985279
>Prison School
Please no. I just wish someone picked up Devil Blues.
>>134976243
Now what, OP
>>134985252
>>134985255
Ah thanks. This is what happens when you spend more time translating manga than actually reading new stuff.
>>134985311
Post your mailing address and I'll give you a postcard.
>>134985298
I'm not entirely sure what the criteria for this supposed new chart is, but if we're listing manga that's begun to receive translations within the last 5 years, I feel like it should be on there. But if we're just listing under-appreciated new stuff, then yeah.
>>134980940
You'd probably like Real, Akumetsu, Planetes, and Viland
>>134984558
Dorohedoro, please. Hinamatsuri and All Rounder Meguru as well.
>>134985444
Dorohedoro's on the old lists, I'm pretty sure. I miss when it used to have the popularity of a light-Jojo, back before Jojo general threads were a thing.
>>134984558
http://origin-comic-award2015.natalie.mu/2015/
This page is actually of decent taste.
I laughed at Otouto no Oto and then the fact that someone picked it up and then someone posted it on /a/. OP didn't post the most recent chapters though.
>>134985298
The leap from the beautiful narrative driven goodness of Devil Blues to Prison School is mind boggling, but it also kinda makes Prison School funnier knowing that his editor's were probably all "Hey you can draw really well but nobody here wants to read about slaves in the american south here in nipland, could you draw us some pantsu and tits instead?"
>>134985487
>ドミトリーともきんす
>高野文子
Oh shit, she has a new manga out? Didn't realize she was still active.
>>134985485
This all or nothing popularity hasn't really helped anyone. Well /a/ traffic is slowly decreasing. We'll see what it does.
>>134985568
Was someone going to do Bou ga Ippon. I thought there was.
>>134980604
Half of those adaptations are shit or unfinished
>>134985579
How lovely would it be if one day only the hardcore oldfigs were left dicking around on /a/ and every newfag was successfully deflected by an inability to lurk properly thanks to the rise in ADHD
>>134985635
Yeah that was me. I have the raws and everything. Just been trying to wrap up Sangokushi, so you'll see it sometime next spring.
>>134985557
Before that, he did series more like Prison School though. But with Prison School, it just felt like I was losing intelligence as I kept going. I mean even the first parts were of actual amusement, but then I just couldn't keep going.
>>134982707
Mete ru. Gantz autor
>>134985579
Yeah, it's really hard to have dedicated manga threads, considering how big /a/ is these days. Threads can die pretty quick unless there's consistent posting going on, which can be pretty hard.
I'm still against the idea of a separate manga board, but maybe there needs to be some sort of better solution.
>>134982912
Mete ru no kimochi
hiroya oku
Yasuhiko Yoshikazu's manga (that isn't Gundam Origin) needs more love. At the very least, his art is fantastic.
I find the whole "I've read / watched more than you" thing to be a bit idiotic to a certain degree. If you've seen, say, a good 200-300 anime or same number of manga, if you've seen/read "the good stuff" you've probably seen/read everything worth reading. People who brag about having seen 1000 shows or read 1000 manga, all that means is they've read and watched a ton of shitty stuff.
>>134985772
/a/ just needs to read more manga. Even flavour of the month series. Especially in between seasons. There hasn't been a real manga shitstorm on here in ages. This waiting-disease seems far too contagious.

Not gonna read this long ass thread, just came to say your chart is shit and clearly written by a "mature manga for mature people" shitter.
Not in any way the next step for people who like WSJ shit. It'd be like telling a kid, oh you like Spongebob? Here's Schindler's List.
>>134985843
The point was clearly replies.
>>134985834
Emperor Nero soon, fellow patrician.
>>134985881
>clearly written by a "mature manga for mature people" shitter
In other words, /a/ as of how many years ago.
>>134985909
>>134985909
Wasn't Nero one of the more awful bastards as far as emperors go?
>>134985872
Origin has some Comicwalker rips, colored.

That's what makes a story interesting.
