i'm update to date with it and i haven't started Yamada yet

Awesome! Who's your favorite girl/character? Mine is Onodera. She's so cute, but can also be really silly alot of times x )

And Yamada is a pretty fun read, especially the 1st main arc. It's fun learning about the other witches and the powers they have.

its gotta be Chitoge

I need to get back into Yamada-kun. I kinda lost interest when the whole plot basically started repeating itself. The new cast is fun, and I like the new girl on the student council (Midori?), but I miss the old gang. It's still hilarious though, so I'll probably get back into it once I catch up on One Punch Man.

Speaking of which, if anyone here liked the One Punch Man anime, I highly recommend Yusuke Murata's version of the manga. The way it portrays action scenes is phenomenal, I've never seen like it in the action shonen genre. It reads almost like a working script of an anime, and it really works well for what the series is.

Basically why I dropped it, but unlike you, I don't plan on picking it up anytime soon (unless it is completed or something..) :p

My only problem with that version of the manga is that sometimes he uses 3 pages for a single thing, to show beam progressing from various angles, something like that, it's a bit annoying, but it very well drawn, oh and he now started to do tournament that doesn't exist on the original ONE version.
The original ONE version may not be pretty, but is very straight foward.

That's actually the part I really like. It's like I'm watching a western action movie with slow motion cut scenes, only in manga form. I can't think of any other manga that play that way...usually I have to imagine in my head how fight scenes are going down. It really fits the ridiculous tone the manga aims for. It's also nice that I can read through entire chapters quickly because of how little text there is a lot of times. Just pure action...and I love it.

I only just passed the anime material, but I thought it was interesting how differently the manga reads from the anime. The anime's climax arc was basically just an introductory arc for the S-class heroes.

Where has this thread been all my time on this site? Seriously, I've always been more into manga than anime and my bookshelves are overflowing with them.

I've got tons of recommendations on classics, but I'll restrict myself to what I'm reading currently.

1. World Trigger

I'm a sucker for action done well, and this is top notch stuff. Not the art so much (though that is good too), but the way that strategies and complex tactics form the base of combat. There are special powers, but none of them are ridiculously OP and the ability to execute a plan and coordinate troop movements is key to victory. It's as if real combat was somehow transitioned into a shonen world. The characters are also likable and interesting, with plenty of comedy sprinkled throughout.

2. Otoyome Gatari

A mix of historical and slice of life, it follows a woman in Central Turkey wed to a younger man in the 1800's. Their romance is understated and cute with much of the story being about daily life and customs in that time/place. The author is a master researcher and the setting never feels like 'Japan in everything but name', focusing instead on exploring a new culture.

3. Boku no Hero wa Academia

A solidly built shonen superheros series with a likable main character and some clever uses of superpowers. Despite some standard shonen tropes, the author keeps you guessing and the comedy is always solid.

4. Boku dake gainai machi (Erased)

It's hard not to spoil this one, so I'll have to leave a bit out. The story revolves around a struggling manga artist who has a bleak outlook on life. Every so often he travels back in time a few minutes with the chance to correct something that has gone wrong, often saving someone's life. He sees his ability as a burden, but when the unthinkable happens, he reaches for his power with both hands and finds himself all the way back in fifth grade, seeking to uncover a serial killer that once went uncaught for decades.

Huh, I never heard of that one, but I think I've seen on some websites before. That is a lot of chapters... o_o And you read all that in 10 days?! I don't think I could do that @_@ I'm kind of afraid to jump into such a big manga... Sounds pretty cool though o:

I had also never heard of it, I was checking the mangad I read release and for some reason some day I looked at that name and got interested and went checking it out.

And yeah, I really love reading manga, sometimes I read far too much, even drop gaming to do it xP

I don't read all the new stuff, because I like really getting into a story and need some good amount of chapters, but when I start one I can't stop reading until I reach the release current end or the whole thing (if already completed) xP

Yeah, I'm kind of the same way! I'll be browsing manga, and I give a certain ones a chance. Sometimes I find some I really like and then really get invested in it, to the point I stop doing other things too. You never know what new gems you may find x )

I know what you mean about being up to date. I used to pick up a lot of manga, and then I had so much to read it kinda stressed me out xD

I think Yamada starts to get interesting again in the next arc. You learn some interesting  things about some of the characters that you would have probably never expected. Also, some of the new witches are pretty funny as well. I do admit the series does become a mess. I'm not even sure what Yamada and the gang are doing anymore. At this point, I'm following it because "...why not?"

Anyone seen the Yamada-kun live action?  I thought it was better than the anime.

Personally, I liked Yankee-kun to Megane-chan more than Yamada-kun.

I just started Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii, which is about a fujoshi office lady and game otaku office guy who knew each other in middle school and are now at the same company.  It seems she is awful at love and now tries to hide her obsessions but she likes having a fellow otaku who understands her grousing.  There is a part that refers to her as a "2D polygamist" which cracked me up.  Shameless!

Sounds like I'm not the only person who feels this way

The thread is still fresh, which is why there hasn't been a manga thread yet. I've got quite a few manga myself, and I hope to have shelves of them some day, haha.

You have some interesting recommendations. I have seen World Trigger many times, but haven't picked it up, which is odd since it looks like it's from Shonen Jump and I love reading from their magazine. I've wanted to read Boku No Hero, but haven't gotten around to it, The art style looks pretty good and fun, and I love the western style heroes I saw bits of in it. I recently caught up to a new manga, so I may give that one a look next.

The 4th one Boku Dake Ga Nai Machi (Erased) I recall being really popular lately, especially the anime. I didn't even know it had a manga. Seeing how that has a lot of buzz around it now, I feel I need to give this one a look...

That last one, Otoyome Gatari, looks pretty different from your usual manga, and the art is soo detailed. A lot of time and care went into the art for it. It seems really interesting and a nice break from usual actiony or school life stuff, hah.
