What manga are you currently reading?

[reyaes]

Currently reading Mushishi. I found the entire series in a Value Village and I'm very happy I found it.

 

The writing is very well done and abstract. I like abstract.

[Praeliator]

Hunter x Hunter, Togashi pumping out some amazing new chapters after finally coming out of his hiatus for ~2 years.

[LiquidShu]

Reading Nisekoi now. The anime didn't give me enough so I must read.

[Stray Cat]

After watching the first two seasons of the World God Only Knows I decided to read it.  It was quite a bit better than the anime as they left some key points out and would highly recommend it.

Noblesse  ch. 326, Flow ch. 52 ...

[zoom909]

Reading vol. 7, 8 of Aria in, um, Quenya.

Taking my time buying and reading these, I don't necessarily want to run it out to soon.

It's the sort of manga that lends itself to collecting, what with the elaborate covers and all.

The version they sell in the U.S. is not as nice...

[arakura]

Maison Ikkoku. After watching the anime two years ago, and buying the manga. It's amazing

[DawnWolf]

After reading this weeks chapter of Magi yesterday morning, one of the recommended manga on the side caught my attention... Reimei no Arcana. Honestly, I really liked the name so I gave it a shot.

 

...Ended up marathoning through the whole thing. I thought it was really interesting if you're into the whole medieval political romance thing like myself (Game of Thrones from what I hear). Though there were some things I didn't like... good series overall. 53 chapters of about 50 pages each, took about seven hours to read.

 

Oh also, I probably don't need to mention this, but as with most romance, this is a shoujo... so if you don't like the story being mainly told for chicks from the perspective of a chick... might not wanna read this.

Not as nice in the U.S.? How so? I would've assumed that manga, aside from the quality of translation, would be the same wherever you buy it.

Some editors choose to publish in a different format.  I have a few french editions that are not of the same size as their english counterparts for example or have different covers or even reversed pages.(though the last one doesn't really happen anymore AFAIK)

Marathoning through Nanatsu no Taizai, damn it's awesome

[MDruidd]

Reading Nisekoi And Naruto

Just as you said.  In the case of Aria, the U.S. cover jackets are made of a flimsier material and the picture, although the same, is sized differently.  But at least the edition I saw had a jacket.  Many U.S. manga don't even have an outer cover at all.

 

And what's funny is, the price of Japanese manga is <= the price of American manga.  U.S. anime DVDs and games are cheaper than Japan's, but manga books are not.

Liar Game ch. 178

[Nosebleed]

I need some manga recommendations. I'm rather new when it comes to manga and don't try to venture myself much since I'm not sure what i like.

But I'd like to read some romcom manga because they seem to entertain me mildly when I'm bored.

The only criteria I have is that it must be finished publishing and it must have a conclusive ending (no ends where the protagonist doesn't pick anyone). 

 

Hope someone has some nice recommendations~

[Forythos]

I haven't read that many romcoms, but I''s is my longtime favorite.  http://myanimelist.net/manga.php?id=818  It's been a while, but I think the ending was conclusive if my memory serves me right.

[Aoi]

 The Breaker: New Waves 163

Nosebleed, maybe a Pretty Face would be good. It's Gender Bender though....

It was around 5 years ago so i can't remember ending but i liked it.

[Hanako]

currently reading : Brynhildr in the darkness, To love-ru darkness, Pandora hearts, Id (it's a manahwa), Kanajo ga flag, Strawberry panic and I thinks it's all

As a change of pace from all the seinen I've been reading lately, I picked up the first volume of The Hentai Prince and the Stony Cat.  I had already seen the anime, but it's still somehow even funnier than I was expecting.

 

I also finaly started Soil, the only of Atsushi Kaneko's french published works I hadn't read yet.  Looking good so far, the art style is very original like always, the main characters seem pretty cool, and the mystery itself looks very interesting as well.  Already had a couple of "wtf?" moments.  I particularly like Onoda, the dorky female cop.

[Guest sakanaとkoeda]

[ Shokugeki no Soma, Dragons Rioting, and Girl the Wild's ] -> not actively, since it's easy to power through them in one sitting

[Nosebleed]

As someone suggested I started reading Pretty Face

Really fun romcom manga. It's my first genderbender one too but it's not too bad of a feel since it's still guy x girl.

I wonder how the conclusion will go, I really hope they get together in the end.

[FruitsPunchSamurai]

Ana satsujin. A story about a suicidal protagonist rejected by society and a psycho murderer who slices people's throats with a box cutter. Why do I like stories like this?.

This manga is so creepy and dark man shit.

[Forythos]

I finished reading Soil, by Atsushi Kaneko.  Overall I really enjoyed it, confirming Kaneko as one of my current favorite mangakas, though the ending left me somewhat confused, I will have to read it again later.  It only got weirder as it progressed, as if we were truly stepping into another dimension.  It had a quirky cast of characters that helped keep things interesting as well.

 

I also started Solanin by Inio Asano.  It looks like a really good slice of life so far, a bit less depressing than Oyasumi Punpun and Nijigahara Holograph.  I also really like the art. (I think Punpun might be the only manga to ever have made me shed a tear.)

 

I'm also reading K-On College, which is an amusing 4-koma, as well as Palepoli by Usamaru Furuya, which is also 4-koma but more on the fucked up artsy side(and it's brilliant!), started Nozokiana and also have K-On High School and Taiyou Matsumoto's Sunny to read later.

[Nosebleed]

Caught up wth Akame ga Kill, too impatient to wait for the anime.

It's awesome to read, Mein best girl <3

 

Also started reading GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka) from where the anime left off because I wanted a better ending and it seems like that's what I'm getting. This series is always amusing.
