Sun-Ken Rock.

**Xno Kappa** · 2014-03-27 14:18

Sun-Ken Rock is the extreme of both so prepared for that if you decide to read it. It's a fantastic manga that'll genuinely make you laugh at some of the absurdity, but then it'll elevate the serious factor to 11 with graphic violence and rape almost instantly.

The aforementioned Ah My Goddess fits this.
Tonari no Seki-kun is also lighthearted nonsense.

Onepunch Man - Chapter 45

Lets Fucking Get it!

Spoiler: show

**Xno Kappa** · 2014-03-27 18:01

The art in One Punch Man is so fucking bad ass. If I ever became a mangaka it's the style I would try to emulate.

I've started it an am enjoying it. I'm trying to but I don't think I can read it here at work. I'll have to leave it to reading while the wife and I are watching The Simpsons in the evenings.

Yeah, SKR is definitely nsfw.

**Dantrag** · 2014-03-29 07:42

Yeahhhhh. Sorry about that. It's just probably one of the top 3 mangas ever but do NOT read it at work ;x

**Xno Kappa** · 2014-03-29 09:58

You'd think warnings about graphic violence and rape scenes would imply its nfsw lol.

**Dantrag** · 2014-03-29 10:38

You would think. Anyone here read Kenichi? It was some top tier drawings this week.

**Correction** · 2014-03-29 11:28

At this point I wonder why he bothers drawing a leotard on Miu

**Xno Kappa** · 2014-03-29 12:00

It's gloriously hilarious at this point though lol.

Out of no where onemanga is back

All caught up on Sun-Ken. I read it at home that evening.
Actually, I'm starting to think that there's more of it that I'm not seeing.
The last chapter I read had Ken working as a Road Manager for an Idol, but the date added is back in 2011. Is there more that I'm missing?

At the moment I'm going through Mahou Sensi Negima. I enjoyed the Anime years back, and the Manga isn't too bad. I do have to say, that having two battle tournaments in one manga is a little much as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, I had to do a double take after a few chapters to believe it was the artist who did Eyeshield 21. I don't mind the slow release of chapters if he can keep up that quality.

Also, everyone here who reads manga should think about getting an e-reader. I've had my Kobo Aura HD for a week now and reading manga on it is amazing. I'll see if I can upload pics/videos of it in action later.

I couldn't get into Negima. The publisher wanted another harem comic out of the author because Love Hina was such a hit. And so he started it off as just another harem, this time with a cast of dozens. Then he got away from the whole harem aspect but kept the cast of dozens and it just felt so goddamn messy. It was harder to keep track of who was who than fucking Claymore and I gave up on it.

**Vandalhart** · 2014-03-31 12:33

Yeah, there's been once or twice that I've seen a similar character design used for two characters. You probably didn't get as far as the situation in the Magic world, but that makes it even worse. The characters end up being their normal ages, and then that of 10 year old quite often. It can make it even more confusing in telling them apart.

**Vaspinne** · 2014-04-01 21:10

For anyone reading the series, Chihayafuru has almost caught up to the most recent chapter. Scanlated up to chapter 128 with the 129 raw having just been released today. Series is fucking awesome as usual, even in Manga form.

Hah, I just got this done lol. Youtube took forever on processing just a 1minute video:

Definitely not as responsive as a smart phone or tablet, but it's much nicer to read on as it's not a backlit LCD/LED screen. Battery life is ridiculous, already spent 15+hours reading on it so far and battery went from 100% to 94%.
