Pfft that doesn't surprise me at all, I'll never understand how people can sit through poor adaptations like that and still like it so much. Remember the last popular series was Attack on Titan with it's horrendous pacing issues. I guess they just don't know?

Anyway for me I can see the appeal of Tokyo Ghoul easily. By now I'm more invested in it then Attack on Titan as far as mysteries go. Pretty much everything else is better as well like characters and art, I'm not surprised it's the next big thing but it probably will never get as popular as SAO or AoT.
Better mystery than Attack on Titan? I loved the mystery of the titans in the beginning of AoT. If Tokyo Ghouls is better, I should start reading it. I agree with you about the anime for AoT. I couldn't watch it because of how they handled it.

I think I'll start Tokyo Ghoul.
 
The first episode of Shigeki and Tokyo Ghoul were pretty well done and usually thats enough to make people go to read the manga.

I wish there were Ayato cosplays, best character. And also Takizawa. Tokyo Ghoul √A is so good.

The story for root A is good, has a nice quality to it, even though it got cliche at the latest episode with Kaneki. However, that's just it, the story is good but the animation is amateurish at best, you can tell they had trouble with perspectives and changing angles during battles. It may be more work but hell, if you're gonna do something, you might as well do it right.

Well, after the last few Titan reveals I've lost a lot of interest on it ending on anything satisfying.

The plotlines in Tokyo Ghoul are more interesitng now imo especially with how TG turned into ;Re.
 
The greatest of pleasures, it got a little TOO smutty for my liking but that was 2-3 ago, lets see what I think now after I've been tainted by mangaf.



Please give me the ones you're reading right now! I am hungry for more.
Darkness is great for me since it's all about the better side characters. That and it's a self parody now because of Rito's uncanny ability. It's definitely lewd, but this manga still keeps me interested since I want to see a harem end for Rito.

14-sai no Koi is one. Musune Hiraite is another. Catching up on Taiyou no Ie since that's now done. I was reading Ore Monogatari, but that doesn't get translated much, and I don't think it's licensed in the US yet?

I want another Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun.
Molester Man
Bonnouji
Sukimasuki
Yandere Kanojo

Oh right, Yandere Kanojo. Was going to read that too, but I forgot.

This is a pretty perfect approximation of a 4chan troll face. So evil.

Ore Monogatari got licensed already, I saw it on Amazon in English.
 
Tokyo Ghoul Re 17

Wow, this is going to get nuts. Like really nuts. The climax is soon to come!

Yo BakedYams who's your Avatar of?

As a standalone it's average, but as a manga adaption it's pretty shit and that's coming from a person who loves this series. But yeah it's truly a mystery on why people can like it sooo much even though it isn't faithful to the source material. I enjoy the anime but I know objectively it isn't that good because it's average if not below.

About Attack on Titan manga, I really loved it in the beginning because of the mystery over Titans and the oppressive atmosphere. But as it went on it started losing some of the good things it had created. I mean I feel it would have been better if Eren didn't turn into a Titan and had kept on going with the survival through wits. Though I guess since it's Shonen it needed to have the character being special in some way with an ability. Maybe it'll get better as it starts focusing on Titans again, probably a slim chance.

As popularity goes I do not believe it will get as popular as SAO or AOT because they are a unique phenomenon. So the popularity for TG right now is fine.

After showing the
awesome ape titan,
it started to decline slightly. I'm not feeling the current arc.

I like reading mangas with fascinating stories and worlds. Hopefully, Tokyo makes me feel as excited as AoT once did.
 
Man if you read Nisekoi you'd probably rip your hair off in frustration.

I did, I lost hair when I first started reading it since a short long haired girl was introduced as the third girl. I know more have been introduced so I've given up on it and stopped reading it.

I love Nisekoi, but you're lucky you didn't go further. It's the next girl when the quality dips.
 
Tokyo Ghoul:Re 17 Spoilers!!!!!!!!





Ahahahahaha a Ghoul ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) is talking in playstation language. He knows what's up, apparently his name is Scarecrow. He has by far one of the best masks in this series.


I want to hate this fucker but at the same time I can't. I mean look how stylish he looks, got them classy shoes. Seriously every Ghoul are looking stylish as fuck. But man I didn't think the Pierrot's had this much influence.


Hinami's mask looks really legit. It reminds me of that dude from Star Trek. Anyways I wonder what Hinami means when she says something feels off.


I'm laughing really hard but at the same time I feel bad. Like Mutsuki is in deep shit. At this point I feel like Torso is gonna buy her in the auction, which would be a funny but sad twist. Man that cliffhanger.

Also fuck Big Madam and her disgusting face.
 
nanatsu no Taizai 112.5

Shit, old school sins are kind of badasses, and now I find myself compelled to see a bunch of their adventures and the weird kind of "team work" and "strategy" the would use. I just love the idea of Ban being the scout because what the fucks gonna happen to him? He's immortal?

Also Escanor looks like the most disappointing shit and I love it because I don't know where it's going.
 
Yasashii Sekai no Tsukurikata 22

The misunderstanding train continues to chug along. I can only anticipate the crash. Aside from that, jealous imouto was great.

Been on an Adachi fix lately... Re-read Rough (my favorite of his works), and finished Touch again... Now I'm reading Mix only to find out that scanlations for it have stopped for awhile now...:(:(

Damn it!

Boku no Hero Academia 29

The hype asdjakfhkjdshfkh. inb4 Deku's rival blows everything up and invalidates the competition lol
 
Musunde Hiraite (all caught up)

Well, hm... Hatsukoi Limited didn't click with me, and after finding out this had the same formula, I was cautious of it. Luckily it has pretty frequent cameos of earlier characters and it's cycling back to previous couples at a decent rate. Really hope the translations keep coming though.

Shoot me a PM, I might have something for you.
 
Horimiya 47

I somehow missed last month. Beginning was good. Whenever they have scenes of the house and family is best. I don't really care for the characters at school as much, but at least it looks like an arc.
 
Got up to chapter 20 of Boku no Hero Academia; a lot more enjoyable than I thought it'd be.

Midoriya's costume was janky though. He should stick with the PE suit.

And I get the feeling that the childhood friend/bully is going to be scouted as a villain, eventually. He's just too big of a jerk.

i'd never heard of the marshmallow thing before.
First time I'd heard of it as well.
