Yes I can. This is no way to start a thread. Inio Asano is a good read here and there but he's not the best in the business. He's not the best artist, not the best with plot, not the best with characterization. He just draws crazy people and it's sort of interesting but there is far better manga.

I also highly regard Punpun, but I know that is because I connected with it personally, like I'm sure a lot of people here did.
In terms of actual storytelling the tone jerks around a lot without warning, the Pegasus segments are almost completely worthless, and there are a lot of tangents that only serve to highlight the problems of other characters where it really was not necessary.

No, it's not. It's "glorifying" the idea of how depressing life is. Punpun still got the girl, but it came at a price. Everybody in the manga was purposely created to be shitty people. The only person that I can think of that was a "normal" person was Punpun's uncle's fiance.

I grew up in low-class Arizona. I understand that the world can be a shitty place, but things do look up if people try hard enough. I'm not unfamiliar to hard times, I just accept the fact that the world is what I make it. Punpun had a lot of depressing moments because he let the hard times pummel him. I could empathize with his character, but his decisions go so far in the negative that it became harder and harder to do so.

So punpun joins the list of things that people hate because it got popular.

And Golden Kamui is mediocre. It would be better if it decided whether it wants to be serious plot driven story or a SoL comedy.

>>143338313
>So punpun joins the list of things that people hate because it got popular.
/a/ liked Punpun WAY more then it deserved from the start. It's probably people are jumping off the hype wagon and feeling a little bad about it so they go the other way entirely and hate on it.

I was never a fan. At around chapter 18, I realized it was going in a direction I didn't care for a bailed. I enjoy some of the author's other works though.
>>
>>143338313
i agree about golden kamui. i always thought it was less consistent with its elements compared to other manga that try the same like dungeon meshi. dungeon meshi on the other hand does it seamlessly.

i think it's because the action in GK is just too intense and it overpowers the SOL elements. the SOL elements being average also doesn't help his cause. there's also no in-story reason why they would suddenly focus on /ck/ details and ainu lore to the extent that it does. thos sections always come rather sudden to me.
i wish the author focused on it as an action manga instead. it's not bad at all though, still a very fresh feeling manga. just not perfect.

Thing is,at some point it's just your taste that makes you want to remove a series that is otherwise loved by many,and should be on the list.

For instance,i think GTO is garbage,but many people seem to adore it,so who am i to remove that series from a list intended to have newfags that might very well come to love it know it exists?
>>
>>143346282
doubt is the only one that shouldn't be on the list among these. haven't read eat-man though
>>
>>143317057
Literally any other manga
>>
>>143344997
It already was, there's a new chart for things scanlated since 2010 that was made like eight months ago.
>>
>>143324715
I'm trying to read it but so far seems pretty uninteresting.
All the jumps in time and characters aren't making it enjoyable for me, unfortunately.
Does it get better later on?
Mind you I liked Monster and Pluto.
>>
>>143346934
post it?

I feel like it's really hard for people unfamiliar with depression to like Punpun. Which is why in surprised /a/ generally seems to hate it.
>>
>>143317057
DeDeDeDeDestruction is pretty good.
>>
>>143347204
it turns to the biggest pile of trash imaginable, the story is convoluted, the reveal is obvious, the resolution is drawn out and yawn-inducing. abandon that shit as fast as possible

If you do have a "high powerlevel" then you must know how many, many, many "shit" manga gets produced all the time.
If you look at this work and think it's only "average" then sorry, you're just someone who read few good manga and set your standards too high.
If you have the pretense of measuring objectively (your first mistake) a manga, while also mentioning powerlevel (number of works read), then yes you should factor as many works in the medium as possible, be them ranked good or bad.

Compared to some other manga the ending wasn't THAT bad. There was still hope for PunPun's future and the other characters.
>>143347595
I guess? Why didn't you like PunPun?
>>
>>143347643
>I guess? Why didn't you like PunPun?
I honestly can't really remember.

One thing i still know is how the mangaka tries to write characters that have ''realistic'' problems and personalities,to the point i was disgusted with just about all of them.
>>
>>143347752
Eh, the characters in DeDEDeDeDeddedededededede are less realistic, but the messages are nice.
>>
>>143347204
I'm in the same boat as you, dropped it around chapter 14 as the mystery just wasn't interesting at all nor was the story so far any enjoyable for me. It really takes it's time with unveiling the actual plot (if and whenever it starts) and tries to set you up for something great, but as I wrote so far it isn't any interesting nor does it seem like it really will be.
>>
>>143347752
It's not all that realistic really, like that other anon said it's a 'glorification' of what depression can be like. Which can have it's own appeal too, not one of realism in this case though.

I'll give it a chance then.

>>143347822
I can agree with this. Even the ''normal'' people in the manga are so fucked up i'd say they have a mental illness.
>>
>>143347595
you should try some of asano's other manga. like what a wonderful world or solanin. i used to be a huge asano fan before punpun.
>>
>>143347831
Every time a new chapter is translated we get threads discussing it m8.
If you aren't here when a chapter is released then yeah it's going to be hard to have a thread, like with 95% of anime and manga that's discussed here.

Hint:
The majority of "normal" people and families have something fucked up about them.

I've read solanin. It was a lot more down to earth.

>>143347974
Not to that extent,although the author might have exaggerated that on purpose to make a point.

It felt like the author was trying to make every single character a piece of shit.

Okay I'll give you that. Those series looked like they were going someplace good in 2008, and they didn't.
>Gantz
It's as shit now as it was then, maybe more so, I dunno. BUT it has it's following, and they got it on that list by being loud. I'd wager they could do it again.

It was never a 'only the finest taste in manga for fine dandies like us', it was a 'here is some shit to read'.

I campaigned hard to have some other series added to the list, but it didn't happen. Personally, I'd hate to see it changed, just to preserve my favorite times on /a/.

I don't think we are organized enough to make a new one. Hell, I even stopped making my person one last year. There just didn't seem to be a point anymore, not with the constant 3x3 and OPT generals.

>chartmaking
>not about taste
People try to get stuff they like on the chart and naysay stuff they don't like. It is absolutely about taste. No one's trying to make a list of the most influential or necessary-to-read manga, it's just about good manga. Which is why that one anon can say he's the reason Eatman is on there - because it absolutely is about the personal taste of the people involved.

>>143349816
Eatman is just bland as hell, especially all the episodic parts, and a bunch of puns and "I did the right thing but still technically fulfilled my commission because of semantics, I'm so cool" doesn't change that.
>>

You nailed precisely what it's annoying me about it, every single chapter we're told by some 1-time character how eat-man is scum that does any for money, mercenaries are all like that. But in reality Eat-Man is some justice fighter, and that fucking sucks balls, he should be all about the money, fuck the righteousness and black and white morals.

You should give Murcielago a shot if you haven't already, might be your thing.

>Wasn't it? I remember it being not bad? Although I never went back and reread the entire thing in one go, I don't remember disliking it.
That might just be my personal taste. I don't really like any manga by those authors. ( I believe it's a collaboration between 2 mangaka?)

From what i remembered,i liked the part where it forcused on mangakas doing their thing,but the drama and the stupid love pact put me off on it.

Hinamatsuri needs to be on the new list if it's ever made.

Shitty meme. 90% classic literature/movies are about "First World Problems"

ah come on Punpun was more than infantile angst, it was a actual psychological social critique.

>>143351452
It's fucking fiction, no one cares i f it's "first world problems" or not.

It's a symbol for alienation. They feel fundamentally different and have trouble connecting with people. (A point of the manga is that everyone feels that way, though).

Appleseed
Sanctuary
Uncivilized Planet
Yoru no Taiko

Exactly, boys won't denounce a girl that is fucking them. At most, they will be proud about it and tell it to their friends who are not going to denounce it as well.
Only a soccer mom or someone like that would actually report it.

Horny adult women fuck about everything, 14 years old are horny as well so they get the woman if they are lucky.
Pun Pun was a bit exaggerated in that the woman kinda forced her way though, normal teenagers would receive her with open arms, maybe they would be a bit nervous but not much unless they didn't like adult woman.

I don't get the praise that this one gets. It's just a really shallow story about two cliche manly MCs lacking any sort of depth who can do everything effortlessly, yelling about how shit old people are. That's it.
There's stuff running in WSJ that has more nuance than this. There are series that does the "manly guys doing manly things" type of story better than this too.

decent list fro the most part from what i can tell. also a bunch of titles i haven't read yet, nice.
also continued with sangatsu no lion lately. it's great.

I didn't feel like the drama was that big of a part, maybe it's just that I only read it in serialization, and so I just remember the good parts while forgetting the bad.

Dropped it 50 chapters in, the default reaction emotion of each character seemed to be being smug and it got annoying (especially since it was always drawn with 2 panels of the same portrait only the 2nd panel was somewhat zoomed in). The characters were really lacking in characterization and I just couldn't care for a single one (though the dumb but charming yakuza was at least a bit likeable).

I have read like 90% of all the manga you people have posted here, Berserk still reigns supreme. If I had to pick 5 more however I would probably go with this in no particular order:
-Onani master
-Eden
-GTO
-Vinland
-Planetes

They are simply the ones I have enjoyed the most, not really talking about ita pros and flaws.

Oh and I almost forgot Kingdom, that shit is top 10 material, I would add Sanctuary and Aku no Hana as well but I really hated the ending for both.

you sure about that? seems like a fairly standard list.

eden doesn't seem that standout to me, but i'm glad to see others hold OMK in high regard

At first glance Planetes and Vinland Saga don't appear at all to be from the same author, it's quite surprising.

I'm guessing he just scanned the thread quickly and didn't bother to check any of the charts posted, which account for 90% of the manga ITT on their own. His list screams low powerlevel.
