I should have guessed, as it looks like Versus has one of the characters as his avi, but dang, I want to watch it now...

Yep that is absolutely a person from the Manga/Anime. Not sure of their name yet -but I instantly reconized the picture.

You should watch it. I'm not sure why I expected something "serious" - but this isn't serious at all. It is light hearted and great.  I can recommend a couple places where you can download it, if you don't want to deal with having to stream it off crunchroll.

Alright! I'll try to watch it real soon! I meant to watch it today, but I ended up doing other things instead, and I've been addicted to a certain game for the past few days. I think I found somewhere to watch it, so I'll try to watch it soon and then share my thoughts on it!

Heya everyone, Cloudman here again with another mini manga recommendation! Do you like games and cute girls? Well, maybe you'll like this! It's called New Game! and it's about a girl fresh out of high school who gets a job as an artist for a video game company. It's a comedy 4 koma that just follows the daily life of this girl working in this company and getting along with her coworkers. It's pretty fun for the most part and the art is great. You can check it out iiiif you want...

I watched it yesterday, too.  The joke in that page is in the anime but I feel like it was better executed in the manga, probably due to translation. 

One thing I really like in manga that anime can't replicate are those little side comments.  Sometimes they're really funny or informative, almost like thought bubbles, but they make no sense in animated form.

Also, yeah, Super is leading a Jump revolution.

Sweet! Glad to hear that joke is in there. I heard it was being adapted into an anime and was wondering how it would turn up. Having been up to date with it, I was worried the anime wouldn't be so good, since I feel the comedy in this manga is so-so at times, or not really even there. I feel like it's more about the art and the cute characters than having good writing. I dunno if that's just me though. The 1st couple of chapters I really enjoyed.

Now that I think on it, I don't think I've really both read manga and watched their adaptations for any works I followed, so I'm not really familiar with differences between a manga version and anime version. If there was an anime version of Yotsubato though, I would soo watch that. Too bad the mangaka is completely against that, so that will never happen...
