[slender skiff]

I just read it

[quaint patrol]

Alya is fking massive

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

Geezus Christ

Both Alya and Masha's bodies on full display with only steam censorship

Or to quote Gabriel, "holy light"

[quaint patrol]

and it's pretty light steam with high quality shading otherwise

i find that part funnier actually

[slender skiff]

Isn't there literally a whole plot point where he asks her how big it is

In the second volume

[quaint patrol]

It was

[silver robin]

checking rn

[quaint patrol]

idk about plot point, it was a single question to distract Alya from

||masachika distracting her from being nervous at the first debate?||

and then she answers

idr if she said ||D or E||

[slender skiff]

She said E

[silver robin]

nope they haven't done r18

unless its under a hidden alt account

oh shit urusei yatsura s2 dropped

[quaint patrol]

too bad they havent done like nagatoro mangaka

[silver robin]

hitenkei moment

i mean what

[quaint patrol]

There is someone else too

whose series

Fuzoroi no Renri is so pleasant to read

it is like a slightly more drama, yuri version of "You and I are Polar Opposites"

drama is pretty slight

i mean it's serious but in sparse amounts

by Mikanuji

[quaint patrol]

what is their current manga

[silver robin]

don't think they do manga unless its r18

their current main LN is gimai

(this is spoiler marked cause it is a spoilern't)

[stable herald]

Wow

Great father he is

Remember folks, even if theyre married, underage pregnancy can cause alot of problems

Ofc the elf is the horniest out of all 3

[stable herald]

No shit anyone would get shocked

[thorn briar]

[stable herald]

Oh, hes Uncle Jeffery

I know him

[thorn briar]

[stable herald]

hes my front, right, far right, next door, second floor neighbour

He's such a fun guy

His wife though, can bake delicious cakes

worth trying

[thorn briar]

[stable herald]

He also have some kids

Daughter is already married

and his 2nd son is my friend

His name is Jeffeready

[thorn briar]

Is this a joke

[stable herald]

no it is not and im completely serious ||/s||

Bro just harrassed the bars

[whole berry]

Ehat name

[stable herald]

tensei kizoku so isekai

there an anime, decently made.

But the manga already progresses a bit further

[whole berry]

Whut plot

[stable herald]

typical isekai, dude got blessed by all 8 gods, boom op, helped here n ther, boom fiancee

Its one of the most generic isekai out there

[whole berry]

Nice wife

I need more works with wife

Wife is love wife is life

[stable herald]

Only good thing is that, the waifus are not the pushy, type so its kinda good and cute

and MC himself is smart, he did some satisfying problem solving

Let's ignore the fact that he killed an SS rank dragon when he was 8

[silver robin]

theres more than 1 wife

in that one specifically

[bronze bluff]

Re:zero Arc 6 is a mind fuck

Could've probably much faster to finish Arc 6 if I read LN but ae

I read the Web Novel

Just hope there won't be significant changes that breaks canon

[silver robin]

[ivory mauve]

The waluigi saga continues

Gandalf is this you?

[whole berry]

That's his younger brother

Zandalf

[silver robin]

i see a pirate site watermark

[whole berry]

I'm the lord of the seven seas sam

[silver robin]

wao

[warm berry]

[zinc lance]

why is she cut in half?

couldn't they atleast get a whole one?

[cedar furnace]

Isn't Re-Zero the show about the dude with two maids and he keeps on ||dying repeatedly||

[zinc lance]

it is

it's also a mindfuck since arc 1

[somber relic]

@silver robin https://tachiyomi.org/news/2024-01-13-goodbye

[somber relic]

cool transformer bro

[boreal oyster]

publishers logic

just a browser, get a copystrike

exact scanslations and aggregators, still safe

[quaint patrol]

it didnt even directly pirate

fk kakao

Ive never used tachiyomi tho

[boreal oyster]

it's always like this

[somber relic]

average Tech company behavior tbh lul

it's what happen when big Tech corpo owned comic publisher company (and music label)

[quaint patrol]

bless the illustrator kakao tho

his new series looks like incredibly mid plot so far

im just waiting for the lewds

[boreal oyster]

i mean bro
tachi is just a browser for comics with extension.
meanwhile natonato the great aggregator
they get money for comics they steal
and they ain't do the translation themselves

still safe and sound

[somber relic]

because it's a cat-and-mouse game, and it's exhausting to chase those real criminals

easier to hunt small open source dev team instead

just look at how many times scumbags like Asura and Reaper scan group change their website domain to avoid DMCA

[bronze bluff]

Yeah, it is. Is good though... That is if you can even bare to watch s1

Most people drop it at that lol

[quaint patrol]

idk about reaper but asura scans discord server is massive

[somber relic]

I still can't comprehend how Re Zero LN almost reach the length of Wheel of Time novel series though

like how? and why?

[bronze bluff]

???

[whole berry]

WTFFFF

[bronze bluff]

I don't even read LN lol

Cus it's easier to find translations of the WN

[ivory mauve]

Excuse me wtf

[bronze bluff]

BUT WN IS LONG AS FUCK

[somber relic]

no offense, but isn't this just skill issue on your part?

[quaint patrol]

how many novels?

[somber relic]

or maybe you just don't have patience from waiting YenPress release (understandable though)

[quaint patrol]

is its length from pages per novel or # of novels

[somber relic]

fuck YenPress

[bronze bluff]

I started reading at WN anyways

Arc 4 is long as fuck

But yeah... My only issue will be the difference between WN and LN

[quaint patrol]

how many novels is its ln

[bronze bluff]

I don't feel like reading the LN after suffering to read WN

Idek

[quaint patrol]

is LN more polished or what

[bronze bluff]

I mean, LN tends to be the polished version

And what the anime adapts

[quaint patrol]

yes but story

[somber relic]

wordcount (rough estimation so it might be not accurate), but that's just how long Re Zero is

[quaint patrol]

the last time i touched rezero was from like

[somber relic]

WoT novel series is literally 1k pages average per volume

[quaint patrol]

the sin substory with living with rem

[bronze bluff]

Sloth IF lol

Never read IF stories yet

Just watched some random ass summaries back then

[weak glacier]

[weak glacier]

I'm totally that friend in the cardboard

[weak glacier]

Haru inciting this time?

Is this freaky friday?

[somber relic]

it was a running gag in another server

calling gundam as transformer

[weak glacier]

I sent a Starscream in a gundam server once

Somebody had to lecture me on the difference between a mech and a bot or whatever

[somber relic]

isn't Optimus Prime an another variant of Gundam Unicorn

[weak glacier]

Babe wake up

(it's 40% off before y'all yap at me)

[somber relic]

idk I'm not a fans of expensive toys

[weak glacier]

I'm sure you spends hundreds on manga

One more volume to finished

Also the rest

Was like $80 in manga in total

I need to buy more gantz

I'm start to collect the Btoom series

Cost me around $300 to finish the series

[quaint patrol]

wow bloom had 8 volumes

i didnt know this

[weak glacier]

There's 2 alternative endings to Btoom

[weak glacier]

Yeah, I thought there was 12, but no, there's 8

Not counting the side stories

But that's short

[somber relic]

well, if I count the total of how much I spent for physical manga in 10 years, probably

at least I never spent hundreds in a year for them though

[boreal oyster]

that welcome home papa manga

why is it

went from fathercon to yuri shit?

[quaint patrol]

it went to yuri?

damn

i thought it would stay batshit insane ynadere

[weak glacier]

That's upgrade, not a downgrade

wtf I read that

oh I was off put by it

[boreal oyster]

oh nvm

this was from 6.9

but it's just recently updated

[bronze bluff]

a

[boreal oyster]

it's fucked up if the mother's actually support her daughter behaviour

[bronze bluff]

...

[whole berry]

Just read the 14.5 chapter

Wtf is happening

[boreal oyster]

it's from volume 1 extra chapter

stark x fern foreshadow

[thorn briar]

Tomo chan

[whole berry]

WTF DOES THIS MEAN

MY INTUITION KILLING ME

[thorn briar]

They were searching for Ron's cat

[thorn briar]

Will she die

[whole berry]

THIS BETTER BE NOT INCEST INCEST FROM HER FATHER

[thorn briar]

[whole berry]

Every fiber of my intuition from reading cheating manga is scaring me

I hope I'm wrong

[solid nebula]

This is a certified "I read enough insert infamous tag to know where this is going" moment

[whole berry]

This

Please be wrong

[solid nebula]

I haven't read it so I can't comment

[whole berry]

It went to much worse than the 2

I'm not talking about the stepdad and the daughter

I'm talking about the mother and her father

anyways

[boreal oyster]

that's her bio mom right?

then who tf is this

[solid nebula]

I can safely say... Where the fuck is the plot going?

This feels like a flustercluck of an actual story

[whole berry]

I'm actually scared about the biological father

[boreal oyster]

which one is the real mother🔥🔥🔥

[whole berry]

THEY WERE BURNING THE CLOTHES OF HER BIO DAD

[boreal oyster]

why the face and hair differ

🔥🔥🔥

[solid nebula]

what in the domestic girlfriend kinda plot shit is going on here

[boreal oyster]

oh nvm

that's the real mother

on latest ch was the dad's sister

[solid nebula]

I'm going to go back to reading manwha because at least the pllot isn't a graph of shenanigans

[boreal oyster]

huh

[solid nebula]

My keyboard decided it wanted to kill itself

[thorn briar]

He did what

[silver robin]

apothecary diaries moment

[thorn briar]

That's the number of animes I watched

[silver robin]

yes

[silver robin]

mine is almost 4 times that

[quaint patrol]

This regression story starts with the heroine killing herself

but it is so comedic right now

wtf is the story trying to be

Am I gonna get fucked up like "I married the male lead's dad"

[whole berry]

What

[quaint patrol]

that story got fucked

complete genre change

[thorn briar]

I dropped alot of animes , so they didn't count

[silver robin]

ah

then mines probably lower

[thorn briar]

Or i just forgot about alot of them

[silver robin]

actually idk why i said 4x thats not true

[thorn briar]

[thorn briar]

That's mal right

I remember watching some animes before but I don't remember thier names

[silver robin]

yes

[thorn briar]

Not hoshino complaining about the chair that cross was sitting on

When is he coming back

I miss him

And I was right the whole time for him to be alive

Could he be in the Campbell House

With katerina

Wait does this make her alive

Too

Too much complicated stuff even when u try to predict stuff

As long as they kill Apocryphs

[silver robin]

is that a fate reference omg

[thorn briar]

U mean fate Apocrypha

Apocryphs is actually a trash as well as the fact that he's ugly , annoying and wants to kill Allen

He doesn't want nea to comeback

And there will be new scary people next arc

[silver robin]

i was joking

[thorn briar]

It's alright

We need more jokes in D.gray-man, but we ain't getting jokes anymore after that comedy arc that we get before the manga got serious and more confusing

I just remembered

Tyki killed Allen actually, but I don't know how Allen survived

Must be nea doing his things

[somber relic]

weebs

[thorn briar]

Cause after that Allen actually changed

And we got nea too

[ivory mauve]

What's this d greyman hours

Degraded allen

[thorn briar]

Well , Allen won't be there anymore

[thorn briar]

Yes

[somber relic]

D Gay Man

[thorn briar]

It ain't bl

The funny thing is when u watch the anime for the 1st time u see mana died cause he got hit by a carriage, but later on u can see it was a lie and mana is alive

The most thing that had me shocked was the fact that mana and nea are the same person that katarina liked , but he split himself into 2 babies

So , she took care of them as thier mom

[boreal oyster]

after excluding all ecchi anime I've watched

[thorn briar]

Also , about d.gray-man there is something between nea and tyki ( joyd) that got joyd to smile instead of tyki here , well it's cause of his face and what nea told him

I have a feeling that joyd got reincarnated in nea's actual body , but now that I remember it mana actually devoured nea

We will get a new chapter this month , so I want to know more

[shut lion]

[boreal oyster]

they married?

[slender skiff]

Massive spoilers so I deleted it
But yes

If you want to know how they got into the situation

Well you have about 30 volumes

[dry moon]

Speaking of which

Any lighthearted romance manga where they actually get married eventually

[zinc lance]

heresy

hmm gimme a sec

[zinc lance]

[somber relic]

yeah

dude it's literally in the tweet

lol

[zinc lance]

twitter doesn't exist anymore

[somber relic]

[cedar furnace]

I mean the date does say 2017

[zinc lance]

i'm aware?
haru said that right now tho, which i was replying to

[cedar furnace]

Anyways that does seem like the ultimate revenge

[weak glacier]

You have a mean score

Literally the most fucking noraml ones out of all of y'all

thanks for making me feel normal

(this excludes anything currently watching/did not finish)

i should make an anime 3 x 3

[shut lion]

ptw just for amq songs

[whole berry]

I'm waiting for this to become a series

[cedar furnace]

How would ya?

[fierce tide]

Me waiting for the second season of Uzaki chan to release on blu ray:

[cedar furnace]

Ok but seriously I got an idea

[weak glacier]

me finding a Love Live School Idol Project blu-ray under $100 that has the dub

[weak glacier]

That's stretching it

[weak glacier]

158
Half of that is conan rerurns, innit?

[zinc lance]

are they being sent to the gulag?

[weak glacier]

I don't think even a gulag will get anime couples married

Marriage is avoided like a plague

[thorn briar]

No , cause I just added conan lately with its movies

I think I added it last year

But , I just added komonohashi ron yesterday I think

[dry moon]

Oh, I just realized the manga I decided to read last night was exactly what I was looking for

Whoops

holy moly fuyuki is hot

Just started reading gal yome no himitsu

[quaint patrol]

that thing is a porn bait

but there isnt any porn

i dont get it

[weak glacier]

wat you readin

[dry moon]

I just finished caught up with boku to gal ga fufu ni narumade

[dry moon]

And now I’m reading this

[quaint patrol]

the art to that is nice

[dry moon]

Which

[quaint patrol]

but it lost my interest when it repeated the same scene for like

4 chapters

gal yome

[dry moon]

Ah

That’s too bad

But yeah the arts really good

[quaint patrol]

can you guys sauce a series where the MC needs to like

have offspring in order to save the world or something

and there are abunch of ladies throwing themselves at him in order to save the world

[weak glacier]

world's end harem

[quaint patrol]

but he personally doesnt like the idea of having sex

[weak glacier]

why tf do I know that

[quaint patrol]

so he keeps putting it off while whole villages are dying around him

is it world's end harem

I dont think it's quite right

[weak glacier]

sounds like it

He's the only guy in there

[quaint patrol]

maybe this is it

i remember reading it on a reddit post

[slender skiff]

i would have thought of world's end harem

but fairly sure it isn't

[dry moon]

OH

I KNOW OME

Peter Pan something or other

I forget the name

Oh, you’re looking for a specific one

[quaint patrol]

i thought i remembered it being a little warfare and magic

[silver robin]

tonikaku kawaii

[silver robin]

it sounds like worlds ene harem except for this

Cause "whole villages are not dying" due to the guy not having sex

[dry moon]

no shit sam

[ivory mauve]

Well it took him a month for his arm to be reattached and healed.

[cedar furnace]

well my idea basically stems from the phrase: "If you want something done right do it yourself"

I may suck at drawing but I guess Im ok at making stories

[whole berry]

I thought 7th loop was KR it was actually JP

Biggest bruh moment ever

[solid nebula]

Keijo. Based

[quaint patrol]

it's like, the average plot of isekai some years ago

I cant speak about new anime

recent anime get too meta over things

[solid nebula]

MEGA BASED

One of the sports anime of all time

[weak glacier]

For a show about butts, it's a lot less hornier than all of modern seasonal anime

parttimer s1 was good

[slender skiff]

It's good even till s3

It's the LN

To be exact, the final volumes

[quaint patrol]

it had an s3?

wasnt S2 like last year

[weak glacier]

not that I was aware of

[weak glacier]

is this manhwa>

[quaint patrol]

it is

pretty women enhance reading

[weak glacier]

Chad manhwa

is it just me or manhwa got more balls than manga?

[quaint patrol]

in what way

[weak glacier]

[quaint patrol]

like BL?

[weak glacier]

Like, actually speak like how people actually talk

[quaint patrol]

joking joking

Oh just talking

[slender skiff]

No we got both

[weak glacier]

And way more crude

[slender skiff]

[weak glacier]

I love it

[slender skiff]

We got S2 and S3 last year

[quaint patrol]

Oh i see

[slender skiff]

Iirc

[weak glacier]

[quaint patrol]

[weak glacier]

There's only 2

[slender skiff]

I'm not tho

Sorry, S2 wasn't last year

[weak glacier]

They fucking with us now

We can quit the part 2 bullshit

[quaint patrol]

I like these FML more than the ones of manga that ive read ig

well ive also mostly read yuri

these are otome isekai manhwa mostly

[slender skiff]

Yuri is far from realistic

[weak glacier]

Not asking for realism, just normal dialogue

but to be honest

[quaint patrol]

Yea cos it's what

[weak glacier]

If we have real dialogue, it would just be like family guy everyday

[quaint patrol]

idk korean culture

[slender skiff]

Shoujo series will have shoujo dialogue

[quaint patrol]

but JP culture is its thing

[slender skiff]

No matter if it's Japanese or Korean

I mean let's be real here

We complain

But aren't the large majority western romance flicks targeted to females anyways?

[weak glacier]

I'm sure I shout oniii----chaaaaaaan as my skirt flies out when I trip over a rock with bread in my mouth as I'm late to school in bumfuck of Tokyo

[quaint patrol]

ok that's a subset

[slender skiff]

I don't think the incest series are shoujos

[weak glacier]

Boy's Loves is the real shoujo all this time

[quaint patrol]

kinda like Rivnes

Rivnes kinda shows the author inexperience tbh

but it's better than their current arcs

the I love you game is extremely darn stalled

[weak glacier]

I once had someone make the agrument that I can't critize manga because I haven't made one, but man never realized that you can judge someone based on other's performances

[slender skiff]

Today on randomly selected bookworm dialogues:
Sylvester refusing a pooey? Preposterous!

[quaint patrol]

If this were half a year ago

I couldve sourced the book and event from this

Part 5 anyways

[weak glacier]

I once joked that China's modern cultural export is BL

[slender skiff]

That is P5

That is V6 iirc

[quaint patrol]

oh

[slender skiff]

It's after the merchant saint chapters

[quaint patrol]

so i couldnt have 6 months ago

should reread P5

[weak glacier]

hol up

I think I do own a LN

[slender skiff]

Every reread, I discover something new

[quaint patrol]

certainly isnt yuri, not after they killed tamen de gushi

[weak glacier]

I can't really think anything else China exports culturally

Not music nor movie

[quaint patrol]

drugs

[slender skiff]

Culturally no

But they literally export everything else so

[weak glacier]

America only exports culture

and arms

I keep hearing buzz about those BL shows coming out of China

Had a guy from Singapore tell me his sister into it

[weak glacier]

I got some random Manhwas

[quaint patrol]

So it's like

[weak glacier]

I also do own a LN series

[quaint patrol]

manhwa take from IRL

but manga has its own selfcontained trope culture

when it tries to me beta

[weak glacier]

Manhwa like meme culture

[quaint patrol]

be meta

[weak glacier]

Manga is that boomer trying to figure out how kids act

[quaint patrol]

i agree

[weak glacier]

It's so insufferably funny at times

[quaint patrol]

but the good manga are still good

but um

on the dex, high rated manga suck alot of balls compared to high rated manhwa

[weak glacier]

I think the issue stems it's adults making kids sound more mature

[weak glacier]

Because Americans who love anime are also anti-western media

I have never heard such a heated debate on whether something is an anime or not, whereas cartoons peps just kinda

It's not something we think about

I also hate how anime fans try to claim Avatar

Nuh uh

I can't wait for anime fans to start writing essays on the decline of Western culture when Hazbin Hotel releases

So yeah, Americans don't really read manhwa, and the people that do read manhwa tend to not care as much as building up walls around their medium

Has there not been a day I have not complained about anime fans?

[weak glacier]

@slender skiff I need your take on this

[slender skiff]

I mean

I don't have much to say tbh

Except I didn't expect k-on

[weak glacier]

Oh, that's a long story

I never explained that I liked K-on?

[quaint patrol]

no

so these manhwa

some of these characters have like

shit eating grins or laughs so to speak

i think it's rarer in manga

konosuba is outright comedy for its end

[somber relic]

it's just a trend among recent power fantasy manhwa, that's it

you can take a look at all of manhwa I already read and good luck finding character like that

[slender skiff]

You've explained how you hate Oshi no Ko, and have explained why you liked Freezing and Keijo many times

As with Akame ga Kill and HotD

You've never really explained why you liked Love After World Domination

But I think that's pretty straightforward to understand, especially given how you like Desumi

As for K-on

Nope

Not even once

[ivory mauve]

Oh the legendary slap

https://tenor.com/view/bright-slap-gundam-gif-27668109

[slender skiff]

I feel like I've seen this exact cliche in like

Mobuseka

And a lot of other "hero isekais"

But damn this one looks hard

[ivory mauve]

She had it coming too.

[slender skiff]

Also that's not legendary

[slender skiff]

She deserved this

Tho that's less a slap, more a facegrab

[ivory mauve]

That's straight up a takedown

[thorn briar]

Slaps

[ivory mauve]

The black merchants are a odd bunch

Is it me or all 3 got buffs

[slender skiff]

I think the elf did actually

The rest nah

[whole berry]

Just finished solo leveling

Damn that was good

Might read solo leveling newbie

[trim swan]

do you mean solo max level newbie

[slender skiff]

You meant Solo Max Level Newbie

[whole berry]

Yes

Solo leveling max newbie

[somber relic]

more like Love After The Manga Got Axed

[slender skiff]

Ngl that does make me a bit sad

[somber relic]

it was so sad that even the anime adaptation can't save the manga from the axe

[slender skiff]

Yeah that's the saddest part tbh

Not to mention, it got axed only a bit after the anime didn't it?

[somber relic]

yeah

[slender skiff]

I imagine that series had potential

Any idea why it got axed?

[somber relic]

I assume Japanese manga reader just hate manga with heroes romcom theme

there was another manga with similar theme, also have decent popularity among west manga community, got axed as well

also I swear I already talked about this before here

yeah I did

I only talked with frosty about that I guess

[slender skiff]

Oh right maybe you have

I mean I generally feel like

This show was kinda like Kishoku Gakkou no Juliet

With a superhero twist

[somber relic]

hmm yeah, it was kinda like that more or less

accurate comparison

[somber relic]

also superhero theme, not twist

if Ranger Reject manga is a superhero romcom manga, it might be gonna get axed as well tbh

good thing it doesn't

Haruba Negi suck at writing romance manga anyway, so it's a good thing

[slender skiff]

Ehh

He did a great job with gotoubun up till the ending tbh

https://vxtwitter.com/seiyuucorner/status/1746695915409469748?s=19

The legend herself

[dry moon]

Must’ve made a lot of money

[stable herald]

THis is soo fuckin badass

Damn, author cant chill

He aways unleashed faaaar stronger enemies

[faint crag]

[slender skiff]

i was gonna say who

then i realised whose eyes they were

[faint crag]

manga based on a new oreimo dude's novel

[somber relic]

@silver robin fucking SEA plebs

Tachiyomi user population data

[slender skiff]

i mean it makes sense

[somber relic]

it doesn't, India should reach 10M number

[slender skiff]

india has plenty of licensed platforms tho

[somber relic]

in their discord server we used to had 30% of the regular chatter being Indian

though before the apps went EOS, the #support channel full with LATAM and Arab ppl

[slender skiff]

with that said

tapas got review bombed spectacularly on the playstore

surprising no one

[somber relic]

also for manga they don't lol

[somber relic]

forgot to reply this

it's SEA countries which got a lot of manga licensor companies

but not India

[slender skiff]

just a wee warning

it's a gender bender that makes fate look weak in comparison

[faint crag]

Yes, I know, that's the basic premise

[slender skiff]

it's gender bend and futa
yes the imouto grows a dick

why?

i don't fucking know

[faint crag]

I'm more confused why you decided it's a detail worth mentioning

[slender skiff]

it's like

the guy saw onimai and thought

i can up that

it would be interesting to see if they play it straight like onimai

or oreimo/eromanga sensei hijinks

[faint crag]

I want to read eromanga, but I kinda not been reading much lately

[slender skiff]

Did you read the oreimo VN btw

[faint crag]

VN?

[slender skiff]

The one where they got the stories for the other girls from

Which they published as LNs

Yes, oreimo has a VN

And the ayase, kuroneko and other LN endings came from said VN

Just like how oregairu has a VN

[faint crag]

I mean I'm sure it does, just slightly surprised you asked about it
No, I didn't
can't imagine I will either

I watched first season and know bits and pieces about Oreimo and it doesn't look too interesting to me
Eromanga tho seems fun

[somber relic]

it was dumb anyway, so don't bother

[faint crag]

oreimo or eromanga?

[slender skiff]

Oreimo

Eromanga at least made some sense

Oreimo was only good when it was concerning his relationship with kuroneko

[somber relic]

oreimo

[somber relic]

Oreimo literally almost similar with Domekano in some way lol

with how the plot going

that was what make Oreimo so stupid

though Domekano ending still worse

(obviously)

[quaint patrol]

i chuckled aloud from this one

bookworm doing a similar thing with highschool level math is also funny

[quaint patrol]

this fucking fmc

put a paywall befhind her spells

and made it a paid subscription

LOL

[slender skiff]

LMAO

[somber relic]

@slender skiffso when you gonna start reading Empty Box and Zeroth Maria

[storm steppe]

yes
LB6 is peak

[slender skiff]

why on earth did you reply to an almost 2 year old post

[storm steppe]

idk, I just found it via search bar

[silver robin]

What the fuck

[quaint patrol]

wait

what s the sauce

[quaint patrol]

cos i cant read this

[silver robin]

watashi no hatsukoi wa hazukashisugite dare ni mo ienai

or alternatively you can copy paste the jp title and it should still work in search

[quaint patrol]

got it

[silver robin]

by jp title i mean title in actual jp not transliteration

[quaint patrol]

i saw some other comments that the reviews were removed

[slender skiff]

that they were

[silver robin]

what is tapas

[quaint patrol]

an app for korean translation of manhwa

er

official licensor for korean translations

[silver robin]

wao

at least mangaplus app gives you 1 free read of basically every chapter before getting paywalled

[quaint patrol]

tapas is decidedly worse

@slender skiff

She looks familiar, eventhough I only seen her in the new episode

[dry moon]

Is that apothecary diaries

[faint crag]

Yes

I know how to play Yui's solo from s2

[thorn briar]

I never watched k-on

Not even bocchi

[echo quiver]

well, that's not suspicious at all

[quaint patrol]

mods on way alrdy

stay cool

[echo quiver]

why did discord add the ability to mask urls again

[quaint patrol]

you mean embeds?

cos they take space

[weak glacier]

what happened while I was gone

[ivory mauve]

The hat is back!!!!

[echo quiver]

huh. she even says wah

wahluigi

[whole berry]

This sounds familiar

[zinc lance]

suspicious

[whole berry]

The title is familiar to the WN i read from Netrotrans

[silver robin]

#anime-manga message this series

[whole berry]

No wonder it's familiar, it looks like the childhood friend from childhood friend won't lose

[silver robin]

oh you right LOL

[solid nebula]

Ma'am, way too direct

Her aim is really just wanting to bang the guy huh.

[weak glacier]

I don't think she understands what foreplay is

[solid nebula]

Either way, nearly spat out my drink when I read that

[weak glacier]

The whole point of foreplay is to ease it in and not be so blunt

also sauce?

[solid nebula]

Cross my heart and hope to die

Basically uhhh, girl gets cursed for 99 cycles of reincarnation for what she did in her first life and this is her 100th life.

So she's looking to die

[weak glacier]

new game+ essentially

[solid nebula]

Untouchable lady moment

[solid nebula]

Very new

[ivory mauve]

Wait I've seen this before

[quaint patrol]

what u think it is

cos it's

"the most powerful characters in the world are obsessed with me"

[ivory mauve]

Yup

That's one of them

[quaint patrol]

is it a comedic 100 lives or existential

[solid nebula]

Elaborate

[quaint patrol]

is it funny or sad

[solid nebula]

... Uhhh, hard to tell at the current moment

[dry moon]

Tried to read an isekai where they summon a hero but accidentally bring more people

But they summon a hero for a festival?

I dunno seems kinda silly

[silver robin]

yo elon musk lol

wow

[somber relic]

Young Animal magazine 2015.04.10 issue No.07

I just picked the most sfw cover from them

usually their cover just straight up showing girls in bikini/underwear

average manga magazine moment

[silver robin]

yeppega

[somber relic]

Weekly Shounen Champion 2023 No. 34

Shounen manga magazine btw

[silver robin]

well

they know their target audience thats for sure

[somber relic]

oh Baki published under this magz

[somber relic]

horny pubescent brats

[quaint patrol]

@slender skiff

[silver robin]

aint no way

[potent schooner]

Actually crazy

[weak glacier]

What is even shonen anymore

Should rebrand to "I can't believe it isn't porn"

No wonder why otakus are bullied

[somber relic]

tbf yeah I can't even defend them on this topic, me myself will not even have balls to buy those manga magazine and bring them to my home

not with those women barely wear anything in the cover

imagine if your normies friend see those magazine

it will not hard to mistaken them with a porn magazine

"bro trust me they are manga magazine"

[weak glacier]

It's... more like they trying to make themselves out like they are some cool guys... but you'd be just as cool with a sharp ass man in a samurai suit...

I don't know what demographic they aiming for here

[somber relic]

it's exactly what samheart said above lol

also

[weak glacier]

I gues they live by the mantra

"sex sells"

[somber relic]

.

[weak glacier]

Trust, you would not be advertising that in public

Everyone knows everyone else watches porn, but nobody wants to openingly admit that

Even then, how the fuck you gonna explain that to your mom

I wouldn't even let my (hypothetical) child bring that home

Like all power to you, but I think companies should be held accountable to the things they promote

It's not like some random ass doujinshi shit getting passed around like a wet rag

This is a major fucking publisher

[somber relic]

at very least magazine like Shounen Jump still have decent cover (most of the times)

but yeah, just shounen jump

[weak glacier]

Reminds me uh

[somber relic]

some manga magazine just pretty much selling gravure models instead

lol

(and Idols act like a gravure)

[weak glacier]

I mean, if you selling that to adults

I'm ok

But to children

[somber relic]

this one is the member of HKT48

[weak glacier]

You ask why creeps exist, but then you proceed to normalize shit like this

I actually...

Remembered something

@somber relic
https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1985/12/05/lawsuit-over-braille-playboy/6e5bc1a7-2a92-4d67-9407-0c10f6929da8/

This is one of my favorites

And they did won

[somber relic]

you probably will surprised if you try to look at the official yt channel of this manga magazine https://www.youtube.com/@youngjump_tv

[weak glacier]

They one because aside from being a pornography mag, they also made groundbreaking journalism

[somber relic]

look at their videos in their home channel

[weak glacier]

I heard Mother Mary got a heart attack in the distance

[somber relic]

well Young JUMP is technically a seinen manga magazine

but I'm still amazed with how Japanese love gravure model that much

[weak glacier]

Attracts a certain crowd

[somber relic]

like why not they create a separated magazine (and yt channel) for gravure

instead of mixing gravure content with manga

[weak glacier]

You said it yourself

#anime-manga message

[somber relic]

Japonese at it finest

[somber relic]

well this one is seinen magazine pubs though

[weak glacier]

regardless

[somber relic]

so "technically" they targeted more mature audience

but still yeah

[weak glacier]

Please just... don't normalize this shit

[somber relic]

I want manga content in a manga youtube channel

[weak glacier]

Probably one of the most strangest Japanese cultural things

[somber relic]

not half naked girl instead

[weak glacier]

lol

I really want to bring back old anime sci-fi

Like guyver n shit

Anime industry just needs to calm down

Not gonna deny that this stuff existed back then, but it was a lot more tamer than now

Especially because you can produce content more cheaper and quickly so you don't really need good content, just need to get that shit out there

[somber relic]

Essentially, what we need to do right now is to make all Japanese web novel publishers cease to exist

[weak glacier]

Too profitable to not loool

[somber relic]

they are the one who ruins anime and manga industry

the most guilty

[weak glacier]

But essentially my agrument is, 20-30 years ago, you had to be careful... like you had to choose what you published because you had limited resources...

[somber relic]

same with manhwa industry too with their Korean webnovel publisher

fuck webnovels

why they exist

[weak glacier]

Now, you can just do anything and get it published

[weak glacier]

Well, I feel like manhwa is kinda in a strange place...
Like, usually anyone can post web novels, but only the super popular ones get a physical release, which I think is a nice system tbh

[somber relic]

but those publisher help trash amateur to get more exposure

rotten system

[weak glacier]

I'm ok, I just want a distinction between them

Like have your trashy stuff not mixed in with your "high art" ig

Like I don't want to read a berserk chapter next to Inukai-san

Just super jarring

We wouldn't have such problems if people used labels/tags and marketing correctly

Comics industry had a solution for this awhile back

[somber relic]

the manga market labeling system is already a pure mess and the publisher have zero intention to fix them

so nothing will happen at all to make the system better

[weak glacier]

It's in Japan's nature to not fix things until somebody gots to pay for

Even then, they hestitant to do anything about it

[somber relic]

do you know that the publisher even willing to convert traditional manga into long strip full colored format?

and god most of them are atrocious

they look super awful

[weak glacier]

I do own the HotD color edition
It isn't that bad... but I don't expect most mangakas to put into the work because by manga's nature, it's meant to be cheap and quick to produce

Comic book pipeline is a lot slower

[somber relic]

I said full color long-strip format

you know long strip comic right

[weak glacier]

Yeah

Garfield

[somber relic]

modern manhwa

in scroll format

they look super bad

[weak glacier]

Those kinda existed in America for awhile

[somber relic]

I mean manga that converted into long strip

[weak glacier]

In fact

I have an examples of this

[somber relic]

https://anilist.co/manga/101233/The-Way-of-the-Househusband/ one of the example

[weak glacier]

(I still blow most anime fans minds when I tell them you can read manga left to right)

[somber relic]

you can try to see the chapter in Comico

INKR also have several manga that converted in long strip

none of them look good

[weak glacier]

You ever heard calvin and hobbes?

[somber relic]

I barely know shit about westen comics aside fews DC and Marvel comics

[weak glacier]

Here's how they formatted comic strips

I have all the strips in a collection

[somber relic]

this is horizontal long strip though

[weak glacier]

Same concept, just different direction

[somber relic]

not the typical modern vertical long strip
