The Manga Thread

Bump.

Is anybody else a fan of Inio Asano?
I bought Solanin, loved it, and read more of his works (Nijigahara Holograph, Before the Dawn and The End of the World, Oyasumi Punpun, etc.).

I like the dark tones his manga take on, not to mention his talent at making anything seem realistic.

I can't say much about him, since I've only read Oyasumi Punpun up to chapter 36. I'll agree with you though. I love his light humor and his drawings. Reading Oyasumi Punpun makes me sad though.

I haven't read much manga in the past 10 days, but I've picked up a new one called Katekin. There isn't much of a story until later, so it's really easy to follow. The humor is a bit weird, but I found it hilarious.

Oh, and I did begin to read Fraken Fran, although I didn't get very far, the story is really interesting so far. I love dark stories, so this is right up my alley.

I love this manga, but I never really did like the romance. It just feels so out of place in a manga about making manga. 99% positive they'll get back together unless they pull a Kimi no Kill yourself-like twist.

Hahaha, Oh god, the plot has gotten so bad in just 1 chapter.

"I RAN AWAY FROM HOME BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE AN UNDERWEAR MODEL"

"LOL I STEAL YOUR SHOTA-BOYFRIEND-BUT-NOT-YOUR-BOYFRIEND THING NOW COME HOME AND WEAR MY UNDERWEAR SO I CAN BE QUEEN OF THE UNDERWEAR EMPIRE"

I feel like I should drop it but I just. can't. do it.
