Nozaki deserves its own thread. The manga is funny and cute and the adaptation loses none of that. It's really good.

I put up a thread for Nozaki. I'm not sure if we need to worry about segregating manga and anime discussion, but I don't think it'll be much of a problem.

Also, I like how Nozaki gets instantly distracted by some random couple.

Ojojojo is looking to be a pretty cute series. It's a 4-koma in which an awkward and unsociable rich girl transfers to a school and becomes friends with a laid back, more or less equally unapproachable boy.

Chocolat has finally been completely translated. I've been following this...jeez, for probably 10 years. Feels good to reach the end after all this time. I was getting a little worried there with the last few chapters as to how it was going to turn out, too. :ohdear:

Cute as usual. I'd definitely rather touch frogs than touch butterflies. They creep me out way more than amphibians. The butterfly house at the zoo was an absolute trial.
I think my manliness level just decreased and not jus because I'm posting in the shoujo thread.

"Hey this manga is pretty decent, the main couple's romance is cute and... What the actual gently caress is up with this teacher holy poo poo!" :stonk:
I kinda want to keep reading this for the parts that aren't... that... but someone needs to call the police. I just reached a bit where all the main characters were having a dream in a Romeo and Juliet style and as far as I can tell she's gone from just messing with Nagai to actually being interested. Someone make her stop.

Same here. :stonk: The whole situation there is really hosed up. I've already decided to stop reading if it gets any worse than it already is, but for now I'm just skipping all of the pages the teacher is in.

It sucks that an otherwise good manga is being bogged down by the author's gross fetish. :smith:

The weird part is how Nagai's responses seem fairly reasonable for his situation. He clearly has a bad home life and he's massively isolated at school so he's an easy target for her predations especially given how she's managed to worm herself into a position of huge authority over him, I could easily believe that a kid in his position would end up getting feelings for her. You could almost read it as a story about how immensely hosed up a teacher-student romance would really be but then her actions are clearly supposed to be viewed as romantic and cute, and they'll inevitably get married when he's older instead of her going to jail like she should.

Man how did such a cute story turn into a trainwreck so fast. Really wish fewer romance authors had age difference fantasies in their work.

Could we at least save the obligatory goon moral outrage for chapters in which she's actually present? We don't need to go "Oh good, no creeper teacher this chapter. Have I reminded you guys how much I angry I get over fiction recently?" every single time.

Chalupa Picada
Jan 13, 2009

Sorry? I literally just picked it up and read through all 20 something chapters so I ended up seeing it for the first time just now. I'm not morally outraged, it's just kinda weird and gross for a teacher to prey on a middle school student like that.

Not talking to you specifically, this discussion in general seems to repeat every time 14 sai no Koi is mentioned in the thread, whether it was a chapter focusing on those two or not.

I guess in this case it's been started cause I just discovered the manga after following that link. Kinda hard to not comment on it when you've just read the whole thing.

This seems as bad a time and place as any to ask. :v:
Can anyone recommend some romance anime (or manga but preferably anime) similar to Aoi Hana? I... have a weak spot for yuri. But please no ecchi stuff.

I've already seen/read Strawberry Panic, Sasameki Koto, Marimite, Girl Friends, Blue Drop, Sakura Trick, Akuma no Riddle (if that counts) and then a whole lot of garbage I'd rather not remember.

Poor Poor Lips is a pretty good yuri one you didn't mention there.

If you haven't read Octave then read that.

Also try The Flower and the Star. Story wise it's about as typically yuri as it gets, but it's also hilarious, has some great reaction faces and pretty good artwork.

Edit: Whoops you said no ecchi, Octave has sex in it because it's about two adults in a relationship but it's not the whole point.

Definitely Octave as has been mentioned a few times already. Along with Secret Recipe, check out Kisses, Sighs, and Cherry-blossom Pink which is also by the same author.

I'd also add everything by Takemiya Jin: http://dynasty-scans.com/authors/takemiya_jin she's an out lesbian herself which I think adds to the emotional punch of her stories.

Banana Fish is extremely good one of the all time great action mangas. Pattalliro is a classic gag series. While I've never read any of est em's BL stuff I've good things about them http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=ntt_athr_dp_sr_1?_encoding=UTF8&field-author=est%20em&search-alias=books&sort=relevancerank

Kinou Nani Tabeta (released in NA as "What Did You Eat Yesterday?") is a slice of life about a gay couple and cooking. No rape to be found. It's also quite good.

Someone else recommended Banana Fish, which is my all time favorite manga, period. There is generalized sexual violence in it, but I wouldn't remotely call it "creepy rapey", and there's nothing of the sort between the two protagonists.

For Est Em, I like Ultras (Est Em's stuff gets weird, but not rapey. Ultras is pretty normal.).
Kuimonodokoro Akira by Yamashita Tomoko.
Himegoto Asobi by Sakuragi Yaya (has sex, though).
Kanemochi-kun to Binbou-kun by Hideyoshico


I just read and really liked the first volume of A New Season of Young Leaves by Tachibana Venio. First chapter is scanlated, but it's licensed and vol. 2 isn't out yet. Most they do is hold hands.

And there's another Chapter, which is odd because I swore the previous chapter said there wouldn't be another until August. Oh well, I'm not complaining, and this chapter was kind of adorable :3:

uh not the start with the dead dad that was less adorable. the part with the goony brother.
