So I got around to watching Nana... was pleasantly surprised although I feel it could have ended better.


arisu posted:

Probably cause it never ended at all...

and never will. God drat it. :(

The manga goes on well after the show and some incredibly crazy stuff happens, but it still never got a proper ending because the mangaka got very sick and stopped working on it. Apparently she's better now, but still hasn't announced any plans to finish the story which makes me very sad. Like, super sad. I really need to know what happens dammit!

Higashimura-san, plz to be finishing Kuragehime..........

That would be really nice! I miss that whole gang of characters.

I also wish someone would translate her newer work, Yukibana no Tora, but it looks like that one will belong in the seinen thread if we ever get English chapters.

Possible color pallet? Needs shading and tweaks obviously, certainly up for suggestions.


Awesome stuff! In my head her hat-ribbon thing is sky blue and her gloves are tan or brown. Mouth should certainly be some shade of pink.

Thanks for the effort, if no one buys one by Monday I'll probably break down and do it myself because drat it came out well.

edit2: Regarding the latest Kaguya chapters, I kinda like this recent joke of Kaguya becoming dumb with love and mostly stopping her more maliciously deceptive activities, but Shirogane assuming they're still continuing and interpreting all her actions through that lens.

It's a really good development. This manga somehow just keeps getting funnier.

Hayasaka was in top form this chapter too:

Because the mangaka wanted to tell this story? Plus it's another "psychic gets with the person they like" tale, and that seems to be their comfort zone.

Oh yeah I'm happy to read about these characters as well, and I'm assuming it will tie back into the main story. It was just an abrupt change that made me wonder if I missed something.

Because until this conversation I had no idea about these supposedly-constant problems that make kissmanga unusable for some people, and because batoto is incredibly annoying to use without logging in which kinda discourages doing so.

I'd rather use batoto than ever use kissmanga, even if I had to log in to batoto manually every single time.

Lucky for me, cookies exist. Seriously, making a batoto account was a decision I have never once regretted.

The author got really sick in 2009 and it went on indefinite hiatus. She's recovered and last year said that she would like to finish the manga, but there's no concrete news about it.

NANA unraveled a bit and it's for the better imho.

I guess it was meandering a little before it went on hiatus, but I have a little hole in my heart labeled "closure, and hopefully some happiness, for Nana O's character."

a silly little series that is entirely described in the title like some light novel or something. but cute.



I just read this one yesterday (it's on mangadex as well)! For some reason the premise had me assuming it would be trashy (and it is a little bit), but the good reviews and lack of ecchi tag made me take a look.

Turns out it's actually adorable! Shame about that title though.

In this week's chapter of Namaikizakari, more of Naruse being a dummy when his girlfriend is trying to be supportive, and then Yuki being a dummy around mister mysterious older bad boy. :rolleyes: I do generally like this manga but sometimes the writing frustrates the hell out of me.

Also, the author breaking the fourth wall just for shits and giggles:

Thanks for linking this, somehow I hadn't read it despite loving other manga with this same feeling. It reminds me of stuff like NANA and 3-gatsu, with these really charming well-defined characters going through strange daily lives and having all these cute and happy moments contrasting with their deep internal sadness and hangups and self-worth issues. I also like that it's about working adults who don't have the *generic undefined office job* cop out.

That latest chapter is a cruel cliffhanger though. If this series ends with anything other than a big gay wedding and the whole family (that includes Nico) moving in to live happily together forever, I'm setting my monitor on fire and throwing it out the window.
