Prunus Girl is a pretty fun little manga that doesn't take itself too seriously. The premise is self-explanatory from the page :)

That looks so much like Rurouni Kenshin to me. I was trying to Google it - I'm assuming "Ichi the Killer" is a different thing?

Ichi the Killer is an INCREDIBLY different thing than whatever that is.

It's worth noting that the word Ichi is 'number one' so as you might imagine it gets a lot of use.

Uhm nope sorry Otoyomegatari has more tension in a single chapter than most mangas have in twenty.

Otoyomegatari was a welcome surprise after Emma, but I can honestly say I've more or less been plugging my ears and closing my eyes waiting for more and more of it to build up. Following a manga month to month is torturous.

It's about daily life in a Central Asian tribal village in the mid 19th century. It's very interesting and quite well drawn, but it has a calm and relaxed pacing for the most part, so don't go in expecting some kind of sweeping epic of war or anything.

Nope, Otoyomegatari rules fullstop. It's the story of romance in central Asian Islamic tribes. It's also one of the most beautiful manga ever, it's on Berserk levels of art detail if not more.

Here's the ADTRW Thread

And as a bonus, here's a series of videos of the author showing her art process for panels.

It went down the standard path of cramming in the shinsengumi for no real reason but to show how much better the protagonist is than everyone else. Kind of lovely, really.

At first I found it very uninspired. You'd think they would be doing more to help ease the suffering of man kind but I guess they are taking a vacation? For enlightened ones they act kind of idiotic but when Jesus mentioned they barely have any food for themselves, let alone to be feeding cats, and the cat came up with a matchbox in his mouth as a self bbq sacrifice I lost it.

Ressentiment

Forgot about ressentiment! It is an amazing manga about a loser in a world where everything is ugly (including him) and he uses VR to escape reality (irony?). The concept (that all games are merged into a single world) is really cool, you get the AI girl lovers who live like kings in a fake bubble and at the same time you have the RPG/FPS/brawl players who want to see the world burn and have done so in the past. I have to checkout if translation has finished.

I love short single chapter mangas. They require very little commitment and you get lots of enjoyment out of them. Here are some of my favorite:


Island

Urooboe Uroboros

Stray Dog (by the same author as Fullmetal Alchemist)

Madofuki Park

They are all one chapter long. Go read!

edit: How do I get the images in thumbnail and expandable? Thanks to a kitten for telling me how.

I was looking to find the perfect image for that manga and found out that most of my favorite scenes covered multiple pages: Sami showing up on the wrong side of the river and hucking a car at a golem; the reveal of Blues Drive Monster; everybody sneaking a peek at the Magical Mary figurine; many, many more.

Then I just ended up re-reading a big chunk of it.

That bottom panel is seriously one of my favorite in any comic.

It also spoils the one of the best moments while saying very little of the general feel :colbert:

People freaking out over something completely weird and insane and wanting to beat it up is kind of my take on the general feel of the manga.

Zatoichi is a pretty popular series of Japanese films (going back to the 80s, iirc) about a blind swordsman who carries a sword hidden in a cane wandering the land and fixing people's problems. They recently made a version with a blind canesword wielding woman, too. Just from reading the description for that Ichi manga, the series must be related somehow.

edit: Just googled it and the first film was actually created in 1962. so i'm wrong about things

Slippery Tilde

I have some how put off reading berserk for years, and this made me decide to start reading it yesterday.

100 Chapters later and HOLY gently caress. Why? WHY!?! Why have I not read this up until now? I don't think I could stop reading this if I wanted to! Griffith has just been reborn as the demon king and Guts and Casca were saved by the skull knight.
Its just brilliant. Its badass, intriguing, well illustrated, heart warming, soul crushing, uplifting, astounding and disgusting. Mostly all at the same time. I am dreading getting up to date, because having to wait for new releases of this will be a special kind of hell.
