I've only recently started collecting physical manga, and all of them have been from series I was introduced to through anime, so nothing for me.

Horimiya would probably be the series recommended here that I'd be most likely to collect though.

Anyways..I'm hearing through the reddit vine that several leakers were recently arrested in Japan...so Mangastream releases will be delayed to tomorrow. I don't mind adjusting...though I'm curious if this is something that will get cracked down on more in the future. Might be someday we'll be reading new manga chapters at the same time they actually come out. Gasp!

I've been reading Ocha Nigosu and it's pretty darn good.  It's about a guy nicknamed "Devil Ma-kun" and his friend Yamada.  They're kind of delinquents but mostly in the sense that trouble comes looking for them.  Ma-kun is a legend so people are constantly looking to fight him.  He doesn't really want to fight, though, and in an effort to change his life, he joins the Tea Ceremony Club. 

The president is very kind-hearted and the one person who welcomes him.  There is also a girl with a very quick temper, who clashes with Ma-kun like fire and ice.  Ma-kun is kind of a simpleton, while Yamada is the brains (even though Ma-kun thinks it's the other way around).  Yamada is my favorite and can be ridiculously cool at times.

It's mostly a comedy but it also has unexpected depth.  

(Yamada, when a jerk kept honking at an old lady who had fallen in the street)

Lol I saw the cover for the chapter yesterday, and thought that he was either a vampire/demon kid or kid with a really bad attitude... then I read the synopsisi and became ashamed of myself a bit XD

One of my favorite parts so far is the precious treasure scenario so far. I ended up going back to bing reading this since I saw this post, and I'm only about a third in. Super tired, but this is a satisfying read. I expected this to be along the lines of a realistic beelezebub with main guy loving to fight and his friend being a coward. I would have been fine with something like that, but I'm very pleased how it turns out instead.

It really is a good manga.  I'm enjoying it quite a bit.  I like that it doesn't have a one-dimensional approach to the premise.  Ma-kun will kick someone's ass if it's necessary and he probably does like fighting, it's just that he doesn't want to live a life based on violence.  It has depth beyond that as well, which highlights that he has a different way of thinking than most people.  I liked the chapter where he was walking down the street with the president and realized that she was looking at a different world than him--he was watching the punks hanging around but she was looking at the flowers and the trees.

Kaho-chan is awesome, as well.  She is my second favorite character.  I love when Ma-kun calls her "Mad Dog" or when he upgraded her to "Stray Dog".

That manga does look pretty fun. I find the art style to be interesting. The 1st page you posted before especially had that old school feel like... old shoujo maybe, or like Yuyu Hakushou. It feels like a style not seen often these days.

I know exactly what you mean. All of the main characters are pretty interesting, though I think Ma-kun remains my favorite character, Yamada certainly keeps it all together. The whole scene from the panel you posted had to be the funniest he's been for me. 

The entire dynamic between Funabashi and the president was great to see too. Her influence on Funabashi aside, I like the subtle change in how they interact with each other over the course of the manga. What you pointed out is the probably the very reason why I like Funabashi so much. For all the effort he puts into being nice, despite being almost reflexively being violent he strives to be better in spite of himself. Though yeah he defintely enjoys being bad subconciously the special treasure thing in the beginning still gets me.

The only character I wish there was a bit more attention given to was K-zawa almost ironically. Though I think the author realizes that he was pushed aside a bit and it was certainly a paid off with the way he is treated following the blue arc. 

I ended up reading up to date everything last night unfortunately. This was so much of a "just one more chapter" manga for me. I need to now how to pace myself better lol.

YEAH!  YEAH!  TASTE OF BLOOD!  

Are you talking about the anime? I've been seeing it lately on Crunchyroll. Is it a current season anime?

Sweet~ Good to hear it was good. I've been eyeing it actually and would like to check it out after I wrap up some other anime. I've enjoyed the manga version so far.

I keep forgetting to post this, but a new chap of Aharen-san wa Hakarenai and just.... every update on this manga is a good one.

Aharen just never fails to give me a good laugh every time. xD
