manga

I wanna know what manga and artists lainchan is into. I'm sure there are a lot of Nihei fans around here, I've been getting into Matsumoto Jiro's (picrel) and Yamamoto Hideo's work too lately. What are lainons reading?

Toume Kei Matsumoto Taiyou Ashinano Hitoshi Kiyohiko Azuma

The last manga i read was Golden Kamuy. Its really interesting how many themes it incorporates. Japanese western, cooking, hunting, living with nature, homoeroticism, history, japanese and ainu culture, oppression etc. 7/10 would recommend

Junji Ito

>>6319 tkmiz is probably my favourite manga artist of all time. his blend of surrealism and depressiveness is really special to me. shimeji simulation is moving by pretty slowly but i've been enjoying it a lot, i've never seen anything like it. girl's last tour was a wonderful read as well, and i really like his early 2hu doujin flan wants to die.

>>6319 I like the Nausicaa manga a lot and that's pretty much it.

>>6324 tsukumizu is a woman btw.

>>6326 No. >If I turned into a loli first thing I want to do is to play with the rollers at the supermarket >How many people ejaculate at the very instance of the new year? >I'm almost coming please don't come please don't come >(something about feeling out of place in first year college) >I dream of being a cute shoujou doujinshi artist and be coarsely fuarrrked by my fans >Is it not the future where grown man can be a loli in virtual space and cuddle yet? >People who draws cute pictures are most likely hentai >I puked when I saw the naked body of a grown woman >(life) feels like mastubating at an Ipad screen and accidentally switching to another app by cumming on it >I wanna post my cross dressing masturbating photos onto FC2... >I'm attending lectures wearing school girl underpants >I hope I lose the habit of licking my hand after masturbating instead of washing it off >I hope I can live as someone who doesn't need to delete tweets in my next life

>>6327 absolute madman

Tkmiz is my favourite mangaka too! Hopefully GLT make a crossover with Shimeji Simulation soon.

i've been reading Crows, really enjoying it so far. my problems with a lot of manga is that they just continue on so long without really having a reasonable end point like anime does, i think that's just due to the nature of the medium (american comic books have the same problem).

>>6339 That definitely is a problem with the industry, once a series gets popular and starts selling well the publishers want to stretch it out and milk as much cash as they can, so editors will actively encourage mangaka to pad length and keep adding on new arcs

>>6339 Anime tends to have the opposite problem as they primarily serve as marketing for LNs and Manga now. An anime will often gloss over large parts of a source material (regardless of whether or not it is filler material) and often never actually conclude because its completed its primary purpose of getting people to buy the source material.

Chainsaw Man is edgy fun

I've been reading Nagatoro. It's good and comfy

I have been reading Dementia 21 by Kago. Good short stories that twist reality in a fun way.

Dungeon Meshi has become fairly popular, but everything else that Kui Ryoko has made is great, and gets very little attention. Thanksfully it's scanlated on mangadex. The latest chapters of Jashin-chan Dropkick aren't even scanlated, but fortunatly they have furigana so even a beginner in japanese like me can try to read them. It's a surprisingly good manga given the stupid premise.

>>6327 god bless that batshit country and its people

Blame! is both visually and thematically interesting.

>>7226 +1 to Blame!

My 2 all-time fav are: Golden Kamuy Dorohedoro

>>7226 >>7227 I've been seeing these around imageboards for a long time and never knew what they were (without the title splashed across the first one of course).

>>6327 >agp not a surprise with his art, hope he transitions well

I'll post cute robots: Useless Ponko bittersweet manga about end-of-life man and robot Boku no Tsuma wa Kanjou ga Nai man in love with rice cooker

>>6327 >>I puked when I saw the naked body of a grown woman Big mood.

>>6319 I love Q Hayashida

Aku no Hana, my favorite manga.

>>7271 What was her fuarrrking problem?

>>7201 Where can I find the raws?

>>7272 She's an allegory for teenage angst, teenagers first brush with nihilism and their (our) first realization of the contradictions in societal morals. The MC being an easily impressed, pretentious youth; reads literature that he doesn't really understand and it sends him down a path of conflict with the society he feels so out of place in. He eventually grows up, and she disappears. But that's just an opinion. My opinion. Either way, good manga.

>>7273 I read the manga on paper, Mandarake has them second-hand and ships world-wide. I also found a torrent on nyaa : https://nyaa.si/view/944884

>>7274 When I read it for the first time I was confused with the ending because I assumed Nakamura would reach the same conclusion as Kasuga. After reading it for the second time I noticed that Nakamura doesn't behave like a regular person and the whole allegory thing started to make sense. This manga still gets me depressed every time I read it.

Berserk, Blame! and Houseki no Kuni. These 3 immediately come to mind. Fire Punch and Chainsaw Man were sweet, though the pop culture references were off-putting I'm looking for some more to read. Something with little dialogue, in some dreamy, dark fantasy setting >>7226 Nihei transitioned into a more normal style of storytelling. His art has degraded, as well. Such a shame. But it seems he can earn more money this way

Itou Junji's GYO The anime doesn't do his manga pacing justice; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWF6UBz9Amc

>>7305 Hellstar Remina is my favourite Ito manga. It's pretty goofy but the part where they land on the alien planet is terrifying.

>>7338 >Hellstar Remina Didnt know that was an Ito work >>6319 Been reading Usogui, just finished Fire Punch which was kino as expected

MW. Nobody EVER talks about MW. Those that don't know, don't talk, those that know, can't. Jojo, motherfuckers. Is Jojo a Jojo reference? What's Michael? Basically Japanese Garfield. I really, really need that translation of the new Fist Of The Blue Sky. And why the hell are they translating the new Baki when they never finished the old one?

>>7456 Thats because MW isnt even Tezukas best work. Also every Baki has been TL'd.

i'd say my favorites are ashinano, tkmiz, and azuma >>6324 >>6330 based tkmiz bros

>>7279 maybe dorohedoro?

After watching the show, I recently started reading Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei and I'm still amazed how well the humor holds up despite having some dated references, its social commentary on modern society is still on point. I also really love Kumeta's impeccable art, paneling and how every girl manages to look unique without using exaggerated features.

I just ordered manga (Akira) for the first time. Good stuff. Looking forward to check out Berserk next

>>7460 Why can't I find the end of Musashi arc and they're already translating Sumo arc?

>>6319 I was reading Fire Punch and it's the most disgusting, degenerate, piece of filth I have ever read in my entire life. Seriously the guy that wrote all of the absurdly graphic r*pe scenes should be hanging from a fuarrrking bridge.

>>7608 it's a really good show. mind sharing a link for it with good quality? i don't like reading soykafty 2000's quality scans.

>>7628 please, fire punch is fuarrrking amazing. also, director is the best character of all time.

>>7629 Was reading this one https://nyaa.si/view/1308905, it has excellent quality but it's incomplete. Although the mangadex scans can be used to fill up the gap and those don't look too bad.

>>7612 https://mangadex.org/title/11920/baki-dou here, whole of baki-dou, and they are iirc

>>7608 >its social commentary on modern society is still on point. Ain't that the truth.

>>7608 >I'm still amazed how well the humor holds up despite having some dated references, its social commentary on modern society is still on point. The artstyle looks interesting, but it's described like this: >Each chapter or episode of the series revolves around a particular aspect of life, Japanese culture, or a common phrase in the Japanese language. Typically, this involves the subject being taken either to its most logical extreme (a discussion of amakudari, the practice of "descending" from the public to the private sector, results in Nozomu "descending" until he reaches his previous life), or taken literally (in Nozomu's family, omiai, normally a meeting between a potential match in an arranged marriage, is instead a marriage made official by eye-contact). This either sounds like you need to be Japanese to comprehend it at any level, or a turboweeb with stratospheric powerlevel. I'll check it out, but I expect it to be about as understandable as a series about Uzbekistani puns and regional stereotypes.

>>6319 I'm reading Bibliomania by Orval and it's great. It's creepy and the art is gorgeous. I higly recommend it!

>>7630 I literally read the first chapters ant quited after the zoo + p*d* combo. fuarrrk this, the guy who wrote this should fuarrrking kill himself and I'm being serious.

>>7658 I mean Monogataris a bit like that but I still love it despite not getting any of the puns and all the fan and official subtitles being totally inadequate

>>7658 >>7685 Well I checked out a few episodes of the anime and it's actually fairly entertaining, though there's no way of knowing how much actually goes over my head.

I really liked Chi no Wadachi and Aku no Hana. Shūzō Oshimi is agreat artist, and I kind of have a tesne relationship with women in my life; although Aku no Hana is not really about that. I have so far enjoyed Ore to Akuma no Blues. I have also enjoyed everything I've read by Naoki Urasawa, particularly Pluto.

>>7274 I thought she was a sociopath, and the protagonists was just infatuated by chaos without really understanding what it was. Your interpretation makes much more sense and makes me fell like an idiot.

nacuN is a cool weird manga. A japanese university student watches the thesis of a mathematics professor who has lost half of his brain in an accident. This thesis is in the form of a two hour video of dolphins. He believes there's an encrypted and/or subliminal message in the video so he decides to travel to Okinawa to study the dolphins that the professor filmed. The plot is set in the near-future. The sci-fi elements are subtle. And it portrays crime in SEA in this low sci-fi setting.

>>7700 I love Pluto. Perhaps because I grew up watching and reading Atom, but Pluto has such a beautiful art that made me wish the author would remake Atom in that art.

I've been reading shintaro kago recently, he's definitely not for the faint of heart but he's great nonetheless. his art and stories are immature and fowl but also hilarious and clever. this is a pretty good short of his https://mangakakalot.com/manga/abstraction

>>7916 I own super dimensional love gun. I really like it but to be honest, I was expecting more gore. It's cool and unusual but mostly just weird and cooky.

>>7683 Those chapters were likely put in to filter retards like you. It gets better, but he subject material is still reprehensible

>>7932 Yes, I am a retard for not wanting to read pedo soykaf. I don't care if it gets better, the author should still put a bullet on his fuarrrking head.

>>7934 Should Vladmir Nabokov have killed hinself then?

Bloody Monday is pretty good, it's a cat/mouse type story between terrorist and some hacking nerd who's dad's a cop

>>7935 I don't know, I didn't read Lolita. The author of Fire punch isn't being critical of the behavior, he is doing the thing and that's repulsive.

>>7965 Hes not condoning it though, this is pointing out that life is suffering so that he can make the main point of the manga.

>>7966 Ok, but what's the point of detailing child abuse in such a erotic point of view? Is not like he is showing the deep scars that child abuse produces, he is just showing a guy squeezing the loli's cheeks while she opens her mouth. It's a work of art, not reality. He doesn't have to show that, but he does it anyway and it has a purpose. The purpose, in my opinion, is that the guy is a freak sexualizing children for the sake of it and I should be hanging in the forest of suicide.

>>7977 > I should be hanging in the forest of suicide That is your prerogative, but it's a bit extreme.

>>7965 Lolita is worth reading for the screamingly funny first act alone.

>>7977 >>7978 I just read the first volume of Fire Punch the other day and I didn't think it was too wild. Not sure why bad weather would turn everyone into a rapist or someone who gets off to killing people however. Pretty bleak view on humanity the author must have. I also reread some Berserk tho, and the pedo soykaf was way worse than I remembered, from Puck to Schirke, but particularly that insect children arc was way unnecessary in how graphic it was. Miura is definitely fuarrrked up and I think consuming fuarrrked up media rubs off on you, if only a little.

>>6319 Yesterdey I finished the No Longer Human manga adaptation by Usamaru Furuya. It's some depressing soykaf, Osamu Dazai is really fuarrrked up. I feel sorry for Oba's wife, jesus fuarrrking christ that's so fuarrrked up like seriously.

>>8024 I don't see the issue with Puck since the dude is just a fairy at least. Really cartoony and featureless in contrast to a lot of other things. Also rest in peace Miura. You'll be missed.

>>8095 Damn i thought you were joking at first... and just three days after me badmouthing him :(. I was a fan regardless of that, no question he was one of the best at this craft. Do any of you have a take on whats likely to happen to Berserk? I heard people saying it might be continued without him, which is hard to imagine.

>>8106 I think someone else continuing it was probably just wishful speculation, but it does seem that Miura had some kind of plan or outline for what was coming next. Probably the best we can hope for is information on what he had planned for the series.

>>6354 >primarily serve as marketing for LNs and Manga now. That's not the case. Anime is primarily used to create multi-media brands and sell merch. Manga companies will fund anime, but anime does not exist as the marketing arm of the manga industry as you say.

Would totally recommend 20th Century Boys by Naoki Urasawa if you're into mindfuckery involving cults

Fishine from Taiwan. I like his faces, very distinctive.

>>7683 >people should kill themselves for writing/drawing fiction grow up.

>>7683 >fictional violence good >fictional sexual content bad >I am angry

>>8242 Didn't know there was a word filter for that lol

>>8242 >>7683 >fictional violence good >fictional sexual content bad >I am american FTFY. Make a movie showing a guy mowing down hordes of people with a machine gun? PG. Show a topless woman? R. Weird-ass country.

>>8288 >>8242 Most of the manga I have read that involves violence is centered around the violence being meaningful to the story. Most of the sexual content I have seen deals little with the story and is mostly there as fanservice. If there is sexual content that deals directly with the story I can understand it, but sex for sex sake, just like violence to be edgy is pretty pointless to be honest. I don't mind occasional sex in a story, but I feel like stories centered around sex is like watching porn for the story.

>>6319 Instant Bullet >Everything in this world is my enemy. This kind of world is worthless. A boy, who is called a demon with no human heart, breathes, lives and imagines. But what is the pounding in his heart when he heard he is going to save the world? That’s not his wish, though… I liked it because of how morally grey each of the characters are. Despite their desires to make the world a better place, most of the characters are heartless edgelords. It puts an interesting dynamic on the "hero" subject who becomes a hero for possibly all the wrong reasons.

I'm kinda sad Dowman Sayman hasn't been mentioned even once. His early stuff is a bit too raw and his later stuff seems to shallow in comparison, but the Nickelodeons and Hotel Voynich are hidden masterpieces.

The World is Mine by Hideki Arai, very edgy but the character development is amazing.

Eden – It’s an Endless World! Strangely present time when i think about it now - the world is kill by a virus and the remains struggle for survival. It has elements akin to black lagoon and gits and ends somewhat evangelion. Overall enjoyed reading it definitely the most.

>>8292 I just finished Hotel Voynich, thanks for the recommendation. It's a wild ride. I love it.

been reading what's been translated of nakayama atsushi. the stories are okay and keep me invested but the art style is what drew me in initially. the way he draws perspective is something i rarely see done and he nails it every time.
