here's a thing: Samon the Summoner an impossibly nice girl tries to make friends with the weird transfer student in her class, only to find out he's a demon summoner who devotes himself to turning her evil by summoning a bunch of demons to gently caress with her daily life. Feels like it could develop into a battle manga at some point, which would be not good, but for now it probably fits in here.

I read that when it came out... I remember liking it and I just thought it wasn't being scanlationed. Not sure why it didn't actually get on my list. Thanks!

New Furumapura! In which we learn: Kyou-chan has good style:  And that Cool Kyoushinsha likes leaving easter eggs lying around (spoilered if you wanna see it yourself when you read):

He also reealllllly likes big boobs, seems. A crime, since as Prison School tells us, boobs are just fake asses.  Hey, a manga we had almost forgotten about! Nanige-san has a new chapter! Alas, it's the last chapter, so no more helpful Nanige-san to cheer us up.

I've always been really surprised that Saiki Kusuo, a really funny manga that runs in Shounen Jump, is not scanlated while countless random yaoi doujins and what have you are.

Gag and comedy manga have never been as popular among fan translators as battle of the week stuff is. I've seen multiple groups complain about the extra effort involved with trying to get across puns and wordplay or to explain cultural references. The people doing the actual translation seem to burn out much faster on that sort of project.

It takes a ton of effort and it makes you feel like poo poo because you end up looking at that poo poo for so long that everything feels terrible and unfunny even if it isn't

I'm pretty sure a fair amount of that niche stuff is done on commission, though. It's probably a lot easier to stay focused and churn stuff out when someone's paying you.

For a while now, no SDL manga has given me quite the same "ba-dump" feeling in my heart the way Sumire-16 did, but this definitely does! Look at this!!   FANTASTIC!!! Hinako is the best girl.  I love the drawings and the pacing of the panels. It's so lively, it's basically like watching an anime.

I think what makes the comic work is how endearing the whole cast is for a gang of rambunctious criminals, besides just being nonstop nonsense comedy every chapter. The pacing is super quick and it snaps from bit to bit to bit like that, never holding on it too long. Sharkopath fucked around with this message at 15:33 on May 6, 2016 |

Yeah, word of warning here: it is preeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttty ecchi in a bunch of places, like the first couple chapters, and the bonus art at the end. The artist really seems to enjoy drawing dakimakura-style sketches of the girl characters!! Stay classy, Japan!

There are plenty of pervert artists making comics outside of japan, they just don't have mainstream success.

PSI Kusuou Saiki just had a million bazillion chapters updated, go read it all!! It will always cheese me off how his hair is actually apparently pink, but is inked black in the comic. I can't see the pink! Oh and Demi-chan this time is a cute boy!

Rodenthar Drothman posted:Kotonoba Drive I took ages to get around to reading this, and I'm sorry I did - this is possibly my favourite series recommended by this thread. It really captures the feeling of, like… going somewhere that no-one else will probably visit for months. Going five minutes out of your way off a road you know like the back of your hand and finding something you never expected to see. It’s very calming and easy-going, and it has sort of a magical realism thread going throughout. The art is beautiful, too.

I was a little let-down by the fact that the background art wasn't as detailed as Yokohama Shopping Trip's in the chapters I perused, but maybe I ought to give it a second look-see. Things start to go  on this latest, pensive episode of She's a Rokurokubi! Man I love the blushy faces this artist does, they're so nice!

The art is definitely not as detailed as YKK, but I do dearly love its sketchy feel. The feel of each chapter seems to be something like "a fleeting glimpse at something different." If you don't slow down, you'll miss it It ... sort of makes you really appreciate the sketchiness of it.

One question I have that may just be my terrible memory - wasn't the ghostie's whole schtick "can't talk, uses signcards, is cute"? Looks like she talked ... what, 3 times this chapter?

Ooh I love that kind of demonstrations, ghost girl did here. It really helps making the mysterious non-mysterious. And I'd think anyone in the same situation would want one. For the Flying Witch anime, my guess is it will end with the sky whale story. It seems like a nice place to wrap up.

What happens if you try to put dullahan-chan's head onto her neck, where it would usually go? How about making a shoulder-mounted head holder? (It would probably be uncomfortable, and inconvenient not being able to turn it.)

In a contest between cute vampires, who wins -- Youko from "Actually, I'm a..." or Hikari from "Demi-chan"? I think the real MVP of this episode is the teacher, who's again so very  that he's utterly unflappable and never misses a beat, even when talking about difficult subjects. It's all science to him, so he doesn't even give it a second thought.
