Oh, that looks interesting. Where is that from?

Shokugeki no sama. The latest chapter. That is a joke panel though. Basically they are all chefs that work with really weird ingredients, so the joke is what if they all worked together.

Thanks! Now I'm curious about this manga. The characters in panel look quite interesting, and I've heard some good things about this manga. I'll need to add it to my list.

So for awhile now, there were a few topics I wanted to do for the thread, but I had to do a bit of digging around my favorites, but I think I'm ready to start one now:

Favorite Moments in Manga (You've Read)

 

        For this one, I just wanted to talk about moments in manga you've read that are such great moments, every now and then you go back to that moment and re-read it, just because it's fun to do so. Does anyone else do that? I know I do for some. One moment I love is from Koe no Katachi : the story about the boy who befriends and tries to right his wrongs he did to a deaf girl he met in elementary school. I could do multiple on just this one manga, but my no. 1 favorite moment is this one:

You're not kidding.  That manga was incredible.  So many amazing moments.

The one that always gets me, that I still think about sometimes, is when he realized that she wasn't coming to school early to wipe nasty message off her desk, she was doing it to wipe nasty messages off his desk.  That tiny little revelation honestly made me tear up at the time and still makes my throat a little tight now.

Other than that ... this is hard.

One I can remember is from Skip Beat!  It was when Kyouko was a new actress and she got the part to play the bad girl in a remake of a super popular drama named Dark Moon.  The problem was, the original actress for the first version was constantly saying he was doing the part wrong and that she wasn't good enough.  It was really in Kyouko's head.  However, she disappeared for awhile and everyone was thinking she ran away but when she came back, she had found her own version of that character and had completely slipped into that persona.  It blew everyone away and it was so awesome.  I loved that that part.

The manga/anime had a ton of great moments.

Beyond that, I'll have to think about it and see what I can remember.

Yeah, I've gotten a few volumes on the manga, and re-reading it has been such a joy. It's a nice reminder of why I love it so much, haha.

As for Skip Beat, I haven't read that one before, though I've heard it's quite good. I remember seeing it a lot in stores back in the day, but I never picked it up. I'll need to change that some time.

Skip Beat is really amazing.  It's one where the writer does a fantastic job of making you want to support the main character because she tries so hard despite running into so many set-backs.  It can also be flat-out hilarious.  Both the manga and the anime are excellent.  However, the art in the manga is never very good--or, rather, it's very old-style shoujo.  Especially at the beginning, it starts out rather amateurish (which is actually kind of common with older works).

I also stopped reading it around chapter 150 or so.  That's when it started to really center on the romantic interest.  Now, that's not that bad on the surface but the guy is just ... he's like you took the ideal image of a hunk from 1,000 fan-girls and made him into a single character.  He's super-talented, rich, successful, tall, handsome, thoughtful, aaand he's like one of the best fighters in the world with a troubled past that still haunts him to this day.  Blah.  He's fine as a supporting character and even an adversary in the first part of the manga but then he's just too perfect as a focus character for me to have any caring or empathy about.



Another ship has set sail ...



After watching the anime, I started reading Shogukegi no Soma manga a few days ago. I'm sad now since I'm already and chapter 195 and would reach chapter 220 today! This is the usual feeling I get when I reach the current end of an ongoing manga.

What manga would you recommend for someone who like one piece, Soma, Fairy Tail and Bleach?



My most favorite manga is Planetes, and favorite moment in it is when Hachi comes to terms with the size of the universe and reconciles with Ai.

Nice, love me some SnS.

I would give My Hero Academia a try if you haven't already. One of my current top three along with OP and SnS. Kinda feels like if One Piece had a baby with Part 1 Naruto, and that baby became a hero.

If you're looking mainly at popular battle manga, you can try Magi or Seven Seadly Sins...though I dropped the former and am lukewarm towards the latter. You might enjoy them more than I did.

Oh, and obligatory Gintama recommendation (though the anime is worth it too).

I can see what you mean wih the early artwork. It looks good, but it seems off in some parts, like paneling is weird and some pages just feel too empty with the backgrounds. The artwork seems fun though. I'm not really a fan of shojo style, but this looks like something I can try, once I finish other recs, haha...

I'm not sure if I can give you a proper recommendation, since I've only read some of OP, but I can look through my list to see if I can give you something good. Super Boom's My Hero Academia one is one I agree with, as I'm reading it as well and really enjoy it.

I've never heard of that manga. I'll need to give it a look later!

On the subject of greatest manga moments, Yozakura Quartet has one of the absolute greatest scenes in manga and anime.

Not going to show the whole scene because it's long but, seriously, don't piss off the wrong person by ruining their favorite bear mask.  Just don't do it.

The anime scene is awesome, too, though a bit different, and it has music to make Yae's dancing even better.
