What are some good /tg/ approved Manga? and by that I mean the more DnD inspired ones, let's try to keep it non-Shonen if that's possible.
>non-shōnen
Too bad.
Obviously because of your OP pic you've checked out Dungeon Meshi, but for anyone who hasn't it's a fantastic megadungeon manga with great worldbuilding.
Another /tg/ style manga is Wizard's Soul, the mangaka literally copy-pasted MtG and multiplied all the numbers by 50 to stop copyright. Basically your ability in MtG is extremely important in the world of Wizard's Soul, as in, it affects grades and job opportunities and shit. It's about a girl who has a dad who buys a ton of shitty cards which turns out to be a scam, so she needs to win a tournament to get prize money to pay back his debts. To do this, she gets back into Wizard's Soul the only way she knows how, which is playing a cheesy blue permission net deck.

interesting, I don't suppose you know of other mangas like Dungeon Meshi where a party of adventurers dick around and travel? I know there's One Piece but other than that I'm not really versed with Manga very well.
>>46199747
>a party of adventurers dick around and travel
That's literally every shounen manga.
That's the founding principle of the genre, next to Friendship.
>>46199772
>That's the founding principle of the genre, next to Friendship.
Don't forget how rivalries turn into friendship.
>>46199772
huh? Is it? I mean I'm only really familiar with the HST and Naruto and Bleach hasn't been about adventures in a long time. You can say Early Dragonball was but Dragonball Z definitely was more stable in where the story arcs took place.
>>46199747
Blame! is the cyberpunk version.
>>46199794
That's counted under Friendship.
>>46199822
Those are all extremely long-running series reduced to empty filler, because people are buying them for no other reason than that they've always bought them.
>Dungeon Meshi
I would have never known about this gem if I hadn't come to /tg/ today on a whim, thanks a lot! I'm only halfway through the 1st chapter but I can already tell I'm gonna love it to pieces! Almost makes me wish /tg/ could collaborate in making its own series like it.

I just noticed the last update was 5 months ago, I guess it got dropped. Shame, it was starting to feel good too, I wouldn't say it's great but there were stuff to keep it interesting.
>>46200359
Yeah, now I'm not sure if /tg/ got the idea for the coin bugs that eat mimic from this manga, through autism, or it was really just a common thing I had no idea about.
Nobody else know of any manga that's inspired by game settings and mechanics?
>>46200743
There's hundreds upon hundreds, bruh.
To the point where there's even subgenres like "Creepy NEET from Earth gets stuck in a game world and uses his minmaxing prowess to win"
>>46199559
Ubel Blatt, it's Seinen.
>>46199610
Jesus, what would the air pressure be down there?
>>46200906
Modern dude stuck in generic MMO land is probably the stupidest trend I've seen.
Wholly thanks to the absolute shit shows and comics that have come from it.
What if /tg/ created an entire world for a VR game and saved it in cold storage until the day we could implement it?
Probably already being done by some people. When VR MMO's become a thing there will literally be shit tons of them at first, and those with the less impressive graphics will tank even if the story/world is good. Though more than likely they will be bought and then never used or absorbed.
Honestly, though its not a bad idea, it just would be a really, really long time before that tree would bear fruit.
Gardening on a Golem... fucking amazing!
>>46199559
Not sure if it's a manga too, but this anime has been praised.

And yet it manages to create some really unique and good shows from time to time.
Konosuba is hands down the best show this season.
>>46203468
Something about that animation bothers me.
>>46203494
Its becauseur a faget

If that's true I weep for anime.
>>46203540

Jesus christ, they really do exist.
>>46203459
There was at least some structure in the beginning, with the whole kill the seven dudes thing.
I don't even know what's going on now.
>>46203468
I don't know about "best anime this season" but it was pretty good. Animation was top tier.
I finished it recently and started watching Gate and holy shit it is beautiful. It's literally Civ V: Japan has reached the modern age: The Anime.
>>46203567
Nah, I've just seen it and it's shit.
>>46203540
Personally I liked grimgar more, but it's not far of in premise. Wildly different execution though. Granted both are good
>>46200906
>"Creepy NEET from Earth gets stuck in a game world and uses his minmaxing prowess to win"
This shit metastasized and took over the fantasy genre much like MOBAs took over RTS games.
>>46203468
I watched the first episode of that. Felt like it was mostly "popular girl fawning over NEETs dick" and "Boring MMO-mechanics replace reality". Does it get better?
since we're talking about NEETs in anime/manga. Has there ever been one where the protagonist NEET is genuinely not good looking?
>>46203622
Grimgar at least manages to be funny with the Dark Lord Skullhell.
>>46203610
Its just your taste that is shit.
>>46203639
Actually he gets almost zero action and none of the girls are particularly into him. Also, he does almost nothing. All the action and shit is done by everyone else. The joke is he's the lowest level loser while everyone else is super high level advanced classes. He's mostly the (occasionally perverted) straight-man. He thought it would be like what you're describing, all adventure and riches and women, but then ends up sleeping in a barn without a single gold to his name because he sucks and his party are all flawed characteristically to the point of uselessness.
>>46203694
Sorry I don't like Last Year's Generic Harem: MMO Edition.Now with extra unfunny jokes!

Ah, so you didn't watch it, fair enough. But Why would you talk about a show that you haven't even watched? Are you autistic?

>>46203714
You know, I knew a guy in college who ate fucking Captain Crunch every fucking day. Wouldn't touch a green bean or a chicken breast. Just Captain Crunch or maybe Cinnamon Toast Crunch if the Captain was out of town.
Some people are just shit-quaffing plebs who enjoy MMO self-insert anime, and you have to accept it. You can't fix a pleb.
>>46203714
1. It's from this year.
2. None of the girls are in love with them and in fact he can't stand any of them.
You didn't watch shit, you fucking liar. You're just making baseless assumptions from gifs you've seen on 4chan.
>>46203750
Because when something's so shit you can't even finish the second episode without vomiting uncontrollably the least you can do is warn any potential audience to that steaming pile of turd.
>>46203766
>what is reading comprehension?
>>46203766
Not him, but every single gif that anons have shown around have been terribly unfunny. These are supposed to be the best parts of the show, and all of it fucking sucks.
>>46203786
Dude, you just admitted to talking shit about something you have never even watched. How sad is that?
>>46203807
>Not him
>MFW I'm OP and literally nobody is talking about Manga anymore

I don't really have anything against anime buy manga allows me to read in my own pace and voice cast people for roles using my mind. I do realize now that a lot of anime no longer even have their source material originating from manga
>>46203805
I could tell you the same thing. I'm not sure what you're implying.
>>46203807
>supposed to be the best parts of the show
Says who? The gif police? The International Council of Gifmakers? People make gifs because they want to make them, idiot.
>>46203846
Definitely a lot less than watching the entire thing.
>>46203873
That it has nothing new, so it's literally Last Year's Harem Anime with a new coat of paint.
>>46203930

I refuse to believe this isn't a troll. I reject the notion that someone could be this openly retarded.

Not even close, in-genre that goes to Gensou no Grimgar.
And overall BokuMachi.
>>46203984
You know it's customary to show at least a little bit of creativity and/or wit in the first few episodes of an anime. If the creator can't even be bothered to do that he's admitting his failure to create anything interesting.
>>46204031
>Gensou no Grimderp
>not shit
Ha.
>>46203858
>Oh boo hoo, someone else doesn't like my unfunny piece of shit, must be sameposting
>>46203873
Oh, so people just happen to take the unfunny parts of the show and turn those into gifs? The real good stuff is ungiffed? Yeah, right.
>>46201370
That'd require /tg/ to get over their "sperg out 2/3'ds through, and flush all progress down the shitter." tendency.
>>46204059
Meanwhile you're admitting that you're complaining about something you know nothing about. Who's the real failure here?
>>46204084
>>46204020
Where's your suggestion spergmeister?
>>46204084
Mostly because a lot of the humor is line-based and contextual. They say a lot of funny shit. Also, most of the gifs I've seen from the anime have been the fanservicey bits (gif related), not the actual jokes. Stop basing your assumptions on gifs and try actually watching the show, stupid.
>>46204171
Going by how phenomenally bland the first two episodes were I'd say it's the one who watched the whole thing.
>>46204248
I honestly doubt you actually did watch the first two episodes. Or if you did, you just assumed it would turn out like every other anime of it's type and ignored everything, giving up before you even began. Much like you probably do with everything else in life.
>>46204273
>implying you can't accurately judge a book by it's cover 99 times out of 100
>>46204301
Holy shit, you are cynical. Keep digging that hole, anon. You might strike oil.
Chaika is a good series.
its not D&D inspired but its resemblence towards a campaign is uncanny.
>>46204356
I just realized what was bugging me about that gif now that I've seen the show. They fucking spliced together all the shots of her to make the gif. Huh.
>>46204360
>>46204273
>just assumed it would turn out like every other anime of it's type
Bland and uninteresting characters?
Check.
Unfunny and sad attempts at humor?
Check.
Desperately trying to disguise the total lack of competent writing with eye candy?
Check.
Why wouldn't I think it will turn out like every other anime of it's type? It already has.
>>46204403
>>46204407
You never watched the anime?
Check.
You're basing everything off assumptions?
Check.
You actually don't know what you're talking about?
Check.
You just want to hate something because you think it makes you look cool?
Check.
Probably because you don't have two braincells to rub together. Stop butting in on topics you have zero reason to be a part of. You have admitted yourself that you don't know anything about the show. You have admitted that you've never actually seen it and that your entire argument is 100% based on assumption and cynicism. You are a complete idiot and should stick to whining about which pony is better over on /mlp/, you utter waste of an extra chromosome.

Okay, I give you a chance.
Please tell me about how these paper cutouts of a character evolve and show the depth of their personalities.
Please link some actually funny clips from the show.
Please tell me about the wonderful worldbuilding and the unexpected plot twists the show has after the first two episodes.

>>46204652

Dunno, maybe not to look like a faggot, who screams that his shit anime is GREAT, and I just DON'T UNDERSTAND.
But of course he can't. Because it really is a shit anime.
>>46204616
It's a meta-show, without a pre-existing knowledge ro the anime's of it's supposed genre and RPG's in general it falls flat with stereotypes and weak lewds.
>>46204700
Honestly I'd be fine with either of them.
>>46204743
The humour comes from characters keep making the same mistakes, fail to achieve any character growth because they are oblivious to their own flaws, as actions of previous episodes comes back and bites them in the ass.
So ep5 won't be fun unless you saw ep 2 ect.
>>46204804
>The humour comes from characters keep making the same mistakes, fail to achieve any character growth because they are oblivious to their own flaws, as actions of previous episodes comes back and bites them in the ass.
I call that boring, not funny.

>>46204616
Like >>46204652 said, you've already proven you don't actually care about facts or proof and you just make up your mind based on guesses and assumptions. You may as well be telling me to convince a wall to stop being made of bricks. Not going to waste my time on your dumb, cynical ass. You want proof? Watch the fucking anime.

Also its kinda cheap. But its the industry standard
Im on mobile so listen up
Berserk: Im noy explaiming why you need Berserk in your life
Blade Play: if you want comedy and Lewdness in a fantasy setting
Arm Peddler: i forget what the full title is, but just look up arm peddler manga. Essentially after a post apocalyptic future happens the world devolves and gets more dnd like. Imagine a western Berserk but Guts is a cowgirl waifu who deals guns to those who need em.
Spice and Wolf: Think a low magical dnd setting mixed with settlers of catan. Whole lotta economics and awoohs.
12 beast: mc teleported to dnd setting and monstergirl cliche
Some non fantasy and but like other table top systems or /tg/ approved ones that run through my mind is
Jackals: beefcake brown boy cleans up the streets of a crime ridden city
Jojo: same with Berserk. Not gonna explain this shit. Just think a more bizzare castlevania.
Keyman, hand of Judgement: noire esque mystrt drama centering around the death of a super hero, but becomes much more. Also the main character is a t-rex with a cat girl ex wife.
I could say My Hero Academia because its sorta Mutans and Mastermindy. But I reckon you'll hear alot about it real soon.

Could have been what? A great anime with tons of "HUMANITY, FUCK YEAH" moments? Because fighting off a dragon with an RPG is pretty fucking badass. So is attack choppers blasting Ride of the Valkyries while mowing down bandits. Not to mention seeing pissy little tower shields get torn through via assault rifles like my dick through your mom's ass. I have zero problems with the show beyond the forced harem aspects at some points.

>>46205999
Meh, I enjoy it. Especially how realistically the modern military steamrolls the fantasy one. Not a single loss on their side, meanwhile the fantasy army loses tens of thousands without even getting close to them. Some of the "hurr durr Japan has best army in the world" moments are a little stupid, but still fun regardless.
>>46203670
I am a hero. I'm almost through it and it's already one of my favourites. It's a zombie manga that's really gritty and sometimes original and creepy.
>>46203786
Like I did with Kill la Kill. Man, that shit's awful.
>>46206249
Didn't meant to say I didn't like it, just meant to say that if it focused more on the characters and less on politics it might had been more enjoyable.
Someone once posted that Light Novel omitted some points that made it less nationalistic than it looks as it is now, but since I cant read moon I can't verify this

How's that Shieldbro manga? I was tempted to pick it up because having a hero use exclusively shields sounds really fresh, but I never got around to it. Dungeon Meshi is prime though.
>>46206249
>Especially how realistically the modern military steamrolls the fantasy one
superior japanese bayonet technique destroying a bunch of armored swordsmen was the stupidest thing I've seen in a long time
I'm not sure if that made it into the anime, but that was what made me stop with the series.
>>46206555
yes it did show up
>good thing I haven't seen any of it too
>>46206249
Sounds dull as fuck, just like all HFY. "Look at how awesome we are! We can steamroll these crippled weaklings who can't do anything to us! Are you hard yet?"
I'd be much more interested if the magic side was actually a threat that the technology side had to overcome with superior tactics and military skill, rather than just "lol magic is useless against our bullet-dicks."
>>46199559
How I stalked some dude is based on Dragon Quest so yeah
>>46206612
Actually magic is an issue they come across. In fact, the reason they had to use the RPG to repel (not kill, just drive off) the dragon was because it's scales are basically organic Tungsten. There are also mages and such, standard magic things, but they get their own casters (refugees from the fantasy world) and such to combat it.
>>46206760
>Especially how realistically the modern military steamrolls the fantasy one. Not a single loss on their side, meanwhile the fantasy army loses tens of thousands without even getting close to them.
These statements don't seem to go together at all.
>>46206812
Is there a /k/ review of Gate?
>>46206462
Fairly standard shonen/seinen. Shield guy is outcast from the people that summon him cause corrupt church/government only believes in the other three heroes they summon. Shield guy is thought to be useless cause he has no offensive weapon, but proves otherwise through hardwork and being clever. Cute monster girls are his allies.
Nothing exceptional, but is a solid read. Only comes out monthly though, so slow updates.

Everything i know about Shieldbro is that even with only a shield he's still got edge for days.
>>46199686
don't forget the sheer amount of Suffering and intense unfair bullying and such that's likely to continue happening.
>>46207442
He stops feeling sorry for himself and mellows out eventually
ctrl+f'd and didn't see anyone mention Bastard!! so I'll add that to recs. You'll love it if you're into Metal as well since they use references to that music genre for spell names. I'm not that into it so I'm missing out, but it's still solid enough without those that it's not too big of an issue for me. It's also still ongoing.
Legend of Arslan
What's more /tg/ than realistic swordsmanship?
>>46207663
Why would you use that technique on a shield
pretty cool though. German manga?
>>46207680
Blunt trauma focused in one spot will do a lot better against a shield than anything else with a sword will.
And no, they just use the German names for the sword techniques.
There's also the Lodoss series and its spinoffs if you don't mind watching anime. It has manga adaptations, but I haven't checked to see if there are any translations of that in English since the anime itself was pretty cool. Also, it has best elves.

Now I generally like this series but everyone who thinks this isn't generic harem is most certainly wrong. I've read the light novels and if it gets a second season it will 100% turn to hyper generic harem.

Think if /r9k/ got thrown into a fantasy world and were very slowly heald through a fix of comedy and feels
I've been enjoying Erased. It inspired me to look at the Author's other works... and while they're awesome, they're kind of magical realm at points.
Drifter is great, various historical figures get sent into a fantasy world where they're fighting someone who's probably Jesus using a non-human army (and a few of his own superpowered historical figures) to kill everyone else.
Don't have time to look through the thread but if nobody said Helck I'll say it now.
>>46203357
You should have looked up what Seinen meant. You should be as entrenched in weeb culture as the rest of us and known the clichés of the genre. You deserve what happened to you.
>>46208272
Seinen doesn't mean edgy, it just means adult-oriented. It doesn't even necessarily mean "containing adult content": Dungeon Meshi is seinen.

>>46204031
Grimgar looked really really nice, but the writing was just so fucking asinine. They devoted like 5 minutes in the 1st or 2nd episode to just talking about a character's tits. I couldn't fuckking stand it.
>>46203594
If you aren't joking I either despise you for being blind or pity you for not having seen enough to know how bad it gets.

What exactly goes in this thread? Does a manga need to have DnD elements like the high fantasy setting, different classes/occupations, etc.?
>>46207803
well... true, but actually having a blunt weapon or not you should not hit a shield. I mean they are made to receive hits, the idea is getting around the shield
anyway what is this? i have never seen longsword techniques on a manga
>>46208731
What are some good /tg/ approved Manga? and by that I mean the more DnD inspired ones
>DnD inspired ones
>>46208747
Only for OP.
In general series with interesting settings seem to be the main thing now.
>>46199559
I'd recommend reading Kino's Journey (Kino No Tabi) as it's a smart and philosophically deep series that draws you in. Also it'd be a great setting to run someday.
>>46208747
I think OP meant fantasy elements, but lately most mango are adaptations of LN whose plot is "you suddenly arrive/reincarnate in a fantasy world as an invincible overlord"
Just thought, there are high fantasy based manga/anime , but are there any LOW fantasy ones? the only one I can think of is The Weathering Continent which I recommend
>>46208989
Can you remind me what low fantasy consists of?
There's Wolfsmund, which is probably the best hard medieval setting I've ever had the pleasure of reading.
>>46209034
There is magic/magical beasts, but to get magic takes demonic pacts or your entire life to master and magical items are rare as fuck.
>>46209034
the definition is Low fantasy is a subgenre of fantasy fiction involving "nonrational happenings that are without causality or rationality because they occur in the rational world where such things are not supposed to occur."
Examples would be, Conan, Lovecraft, the Beastmaster, LadyHawk films
Basically something akin to our world, but magic and the supernatural are: real, rare, dangerous, better left alone or simply have no contact with it.
>>46209034
>Wolfsmund
>pleasure
I'm usually all for darker tone, but that series is just "valiant effort heroes, but I am the lord of the land so you lose, now i will rape, murder and torture your families, GG no re."
>>46209255
>Basically something akin to our world, but magic and the supernatural are: real, rare, dangerous, better left alone or simply have no contact with it.
Naw that'd be Urban fantasy.
>>46209266
I mean, it isn't a happy manga, but it's fucking great nonetheless
>>46208816
Title is Knights, author is Minoru Murao. It's hard to find because google tends to give tons of hits for Vampire Knight, Knights of Sidonia, and Code Geass when you search for it.
>>46209292
ok, like our world, but pre industrial revolution, that make it better?

Too bad it's kind of short. I liked the characters and wanted to keep on watching them explore. Same thing with Slayers, but at least that has two sets of OVAs, 5 movies, and three good seasons of its show.
>>46209659

Depending on what you're into, sure. I enjoyed it quite a bit myself, mainly because I love seeing realistic combat and felt it outweighed the occasional cringey anime tropes. The plot's nothing special, but it's not bad either. Gets a little ridiculous and shonen-y toward the end, mainly because the magazine it was running in got cancelled and the author had to rush the ending to avoid a cliffhanger. But overall I found it entertaining, I'd give it an 8/10.
>>46209691
It's some really comfy urban fantasy.
From some of the S2 comics I read, looks like it focuses on the baby pink dragon and the girl from the apartment who was told the dragon is a doll
>>46209659
season 2 of what? and what add-on?

The translations only reach the first 'season'. The continuation remains in Korean only

In case the second sentence didn't tip you off, I was being mostly sarcastic. Of course someone who doesn't read much manga isn't going to know anything about Seinen. There's just the running joke on many corners of the internet that Seinen = grim, dark, and shocking.

Grimgar's problem isn't necessarily the writing, but that it has the pacing of an old slow anime movie like totoro or spirited away or something. Not saying it's the same quality, but it has similar pacing And with that kind of pacing the writing does actually work. But that kind of pacing fucking SUCKS in an episodic show where you only get 20 minutes a week and sometimes fucking NOTHING happens.
But after waiting a while and then marathoning it to the latest episode I'll say that the experience is massively improved by watching it all at once. And no spoilers but it's really satisfying to see them finally starting to fucking OPERATE in battle.
Grimgar's biggest flaw is starting off with that fucking awesome and intriguing action scene at the very start because after that one they feed it to you on a slow ass fucking drip. But when it's good it's good. plus dat intro.

Goddamn it /tg/ I thought you were better than this.
OP: It's a hyperviolent antisocial demon hunter brutally murdering everything that gets in his way.
Then there's a twelve volume low fantasy adventure that's what people who have only seen the anime think the entire series is like (it's good, but just, too much).
And then it's back to hyperviolent demon hunting.
>>46212403
Everybody should know Berserk by now. Why even waste screen space mentioning it?

K' bro?
>>46212556
Hates people = asocial.
Bad for society = antisocial.
>>46212730
Well, I mean, he is also a negative force on society.
He kind of annihilates any town he wanders into.
>>46212765
Not out of intention, though. He just wants to be left alone with his vegetable girlfriend and tiny flying naked boy, but demons are harshing his mellow.

>>46212857
They probably would if not for the fact that they cook nearly everything in those adamantine pots the dwarf has. A little known fact of adamantine, considering it's never been wasted on cookware before, is that it draws out and nullifies harmful substances like heavy metals and parasites when heated.
I mean hey, sure my explanation was just whipped outta my ass, but it'll be really cool when in a year it turns out I totally called it.
>>46199686
Holy fuck that is shit and cringe.
Go outside and talk to a girl you fucking faggot. Jesus. "Muh fantasy where the one redeeming feature I have is super cool and I get to be the little girl". Gates nationalism in the Web novel was less fucking sad than this.
Nobody talked about Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibōken.
Based loosely on Dragon Quest.
Features a really awesome BBEG.
>>46212987
There is a chapter dealing with properly cooking food and food borne parasites though. So it's not like it's not acknowledged in universe.
>>46212857
Wait, wasn't there an issue where they had to deal with parasites?
... didn't they cook and eat the parasites?
>>46213148
Its handled pretty well, actually. Its not like yu-gi-oh or whatever where they play cardgames for the fate of the world. Lots of people, for example, straight up don't play, but in-setting its a fairly mainstream hobby that's very en vogue. Being good at it is the equivelent of being good at a popular sport.
At least that's the impression I got. Its been a while since I read it. Writing was pretty alright, there was some nice depth in the characters and they all came across as fairly believable.
There's a great bit where we see that the protagonist (as a wee lass) learned how to play because her mother was in the hospital dying of cancer, and the only thing they could really do to spend time together was to play mtg. Her mother never went easy on her and proceeded to curb stomp her over and over again until the day she died. The protagonist always thought that if she could just defeat her mother at cards, just once, she could save her, but she never could - her mom just became a better and better player as she slowly wasted away. Very tragic, very hearltfelt.

Props to the writer for making the MC a flawed piece of shit slowly succumbing to his nature as an undead.
>>46213458
no, Laius took a bite out of raw Kraken, that's how he got parasites
>>46213743
I see you haven't read it for a while indeed, or that you've never played a mainstream sport.
It's a good idea taken too far and not in a humerus way but in a sad way.
> Comparing it to yugioh as a positive
Friend, if that's what you're into then we should stop here because we have very different opinions. Yugioh at least knew it was shit but that's okay because it's a kids show for norm is.
This other manga is like Christian rock. A cash grab for autistic MtG players that don't understand why society doesn't value their pointless "skill".

>>46200906In mlp fanfiction, a VERY common trend is some fag going to a convention dressed as a pony, going to Equestria, and replacing said pony. This is regarded by most as up there with the red&black dracobatalicorns in the scale of shit.
>>46214573
Did you go into it expecting more Lodoss?
>>46213994
Yes, I think clearly we have differing opinions. At the very least, we seem to have taken different things from this manga.
Skimming through it again just now I'm seeing that, indeed, the game is treated very much like a mainstream sport in the story. In fact, its referred to as such in the first page.
I don't understand your passionate dislike. Does the fact that the story focuses on MTG specifically upset you? Would you find the story any different if it featured Chess or Go or Cooking? Because I can assure you those are all other mangas out there. The subject matter is handled in a restrained manner and the characters are all believable and have quite a bit more going for them besides card games. Indeed, card games seem to take a backseat to a lot of the characterization going on.
Perhaps you cannot abide to see magic played by a female character? Or maybe you just can't suspend your disbelief enough to believe that it could be popular? Or maybe the comic hits too close to home? Do you find sadness in it because you cringe at the thought of magic making popular when clearly it has not done so for you? Maybe you should let go of this notion that you have to hate things just because doing so allows you to pretend you're better than others and that this makes you superior in some way. This clearly cannot be the case, since, well, look at where you are.
In essence, I disagree with you, and think that your analysis of this particular manga speaks more of your own apparent insecurities and inability to enjoy things than it does the quality of the manga itself. I also feel that you have communicated your dislike of this manga inelegantly - crassly even - and that it has negatively effected your own arguments as a result.
That said, you're entitled to your opinions and I'm pretty sure you're not Hitler. Regardless, I, personally, would encourage any third parties reading this to read the first chapter for themselves and be their own judge.
>>46214618
More like I was expecting Bastard! without the heavy metal references
>>46214065
Only two, exactly two. Yes it is. But I have all the manga and re-read it frequently. One of my favs.

Not sure why you'd expect Bastard!! from a Lodoss spinoff, but that would understandably dampen your experience.
>>46213892
I hear ya', I'm preemptively feeling bad for the lizard men.
The fact that he doesn't get with anyone and plays a pretty good antivillain is what's keeping me around. I hope he doesn't a)do a heel face turn or b)become generic callous evil.
I'm kinda hoping he does get a humbling shit slapping though, but the charcter development seems to be centred on other charcters, and it's pretty well done given the premise.
>>46214758
Yup.
