Actually what got me in this chapter was finally the coach word of praise to Ippo, and also the open panels, they were just in the regular sea side road path as always but I found those big open panels just beautiful, specially with the tone of the chapter, as the coach noticed Ippo hardwork mark left on the grass of the usual field he runs, it was so simple yet to meaningful, pretty much like what those big panels from just a regular, peaceful city, but that's being the path to a simple man that's gonna conquer the world.

I really liked this chapter.

Yeah I agree, I believe this is the first time he praises Ippo and after all this time it hit me pretty hard. I've gotten really attached to the characters T.T Can't wait for what the future holds for them!.

Best sport manga ever for me lol. And yeah this last chapter has my curiosity on 10! And I agree I think something is going to happenw ith Takumara that will push Ippo into the world of monsters and complete the evolved dempsey roll.

IMO it is the best sports manga lol Slam Dunk being second for me. Really looking forward to what happens next!



 

The art of Berserk is so good.  From impressionist representations of violence, to scenes of death and torture, to the details of a dress.

Some really good answers here, and varying as well. It was fun to read through them all. ( I didn't know the mangaka of Fairy Tale also did Rave Master... I remember that old manga, man...) I learned a couple of new things today about some mangaka.


Also, have you ever had a time where you decided to check out a new manga out of curiosity and it ended up being something completely bizarre?  Case and point:

Rave Master was pretty great. The plot was a bit standard, like something you'd see in a 90's JRPG, but the characters and the comedy made up for it. It also had some of the heaviest scenes I've read in a shounen adventure adventure manga before, and also one of the best foreshadowing moments I've seen in any medium. I suppose that's another reason I'm dissapointed that FT takes a week-by-week approach, since RM felt a lot more cohesive as a story.

One of my favorite scenes was when a former villain comes back, joins the MC's team...only to later reveal he slept with his sister while he was MIA. I was not expecting a development like that at all. XD

As for your question...I don't have any better examples, but there was one manga I tried that comes to mind. I can't remember why I tried it out, but I found something called Re:Marina (or something similar at least), and looked to see what it was about. I suppose I should have seen it coming, based on the cover image for it...but I thought it was pretty dumb. It basically about a kid who lives by himself, only for a naked girl (yep) to come out of a portal in his room, tell him she's from the future where she's married to him, but wants to spend time with him now that he's younger. 

I didn't bother to read much further. Maybe it gets better, or maybe I just wasn't the target audience for it. They synopsis I read made it sound like it touched on some heavy themes...when it seemed to me like another "lonely otaku gets a hot girlfriend out of nowhere" manga. The bare tits in the first chapter kinda reinforced that for me.

Wow, Rave Master sounds pretty great. I always took it to be just a simple silly manga with comedy and childish art, but I never expected it to have any deep moments.I kind of wish I read it back then when I used to see it a lot.. Also, that page is also pretty funny, and great if you know what I mean ; )

Also, I feel like I've heard of that manga before, but I can't remember much about it... Though if it's got some nudity or other heavy stuff, I think I'll just stay away myself, haha...

So, this sounds really lame, but I found a manga that mixes manga with Disney characters, mostly the classic tales of Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and all those other Disney movies. It had them drawn in their original styles as well, so it's interesting to see the 2 styles mixed, and the art looks pretty nice as shojo usually looks. Here's a sample...

 

It's super girly, but I don't give a damn! I read a few chapters and found it to be fun to read so far, with some really nice art as well! >.<

Anyways, it's a bout a girl who really likes Disney characters and fairy tales, and her friend gets taken from these bad guys from another world, and the main heroine teams up with a guy to try to rescue her in the various Disney/fairy tale worlds... I guess you can say it's a bit like Kingdom Hearts, but super girly...

Miura is just something else.

He really is.  The scope of his vision is amazing.  I always like when he draws a massive army or siege.



I see berserk art!

Good to see so much love for Berserk here.
It's cool we are having a new game but I REALLY wish From Software gets to make a massive Souls games around Berserk, that would be such a dream.

True, a Souls game about Berserk would be perfect, especially considering they were heavily inspired by it. But a Musou game is the next best thing, slashing through hordes of enemies with the Dragonslayer...oh boy I'm getting hyped again.



 

Getting into the Berserk manga has been one of the best choices in entertainment I've made in a long time. The art is fantastic and there are so many good characters. I've never been able to stick to any manga for more than the first few chapters but I binge read the shit out of Berserk about two months ago. Now I'm working on collecting the volumes to help support it.
