Eh, that might be for the best. It frustrates me honestly, trying to keep my interest up when it I only get a few chapters a year. It's the same reason I tend to lose interest in monthly manga that haven't finished. That being said, if you change your mind, I actually recommend the 2011 anime over the manga. The mangaka refuses to work with assistants for whatever reason, which is admirable I guess...but the end result isn't so much. The art style looks extremely rough, almost like notebook doodles at times. I read the manga out of necessity, since I love the story, but I'd say the anime is a far better medium for it in this case. I found the anime had a decent closure too, even if it hinted at the story continuing. |
I might try the anime, then. I much prefer complete manga, as well. I always fall behind with on-going manga, which is fine, but then I fall too far behind and lose my place. Turns into a hassle so I just start reading something else.
Wow, didn't realize anyone big time worked without assistants. Those that use them make them sound like a huge help, even if it's just with backgrounds and tones. I've seen quite a few manga that started out rough but improved a lot over time, a lot of which is probably down to hiring good assistants. Early Skip Beat, for instance, is half scribble with no background detail.
Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun turned out to be a good introduction to making manga. It's also pretty funny.
