>>282951565I can clearly see the "Arise" for the crappy mobile game, you fag.
>>282951565Is there even the slightest overlap in tone or theme of these things (or even fan base desu), who the fuck comes up with this shit.
No
>>282952729gonna guess their gacha cash grab is already crashing and burning so the gooks are already getting desperate with crossovers to save it
Alright, it is Thursday and I am gonna post the first volume of MAO. Feel free to react or comment on any panel, though I appreciate if image replies are not used during the dump. Feel free to discuss anything related to MAO after the dump. In addition, as MAO is atypically plot-heavy as a Rumiko Takahashi manga, please be mindful of others and use spoilers tags when discussing things that are revealed later in chapters that have not been dumped. MAO is Rumiko Takahashi's current ongoing series, a dark fantasy manga with a more serious tone than most of her other major series. I highly recommend it, as there genuinely is a lot of intrigue.Previous thread: >>282728526I will be using the official localization of the manga volumes by VIZ. Be aware that some of the larger images may have been edited to be lower quality due to image size limits. In addition, unlike the twice-a-week schedule I've had for every series thus far, I will be switching to dumping this manga once a week on Thursdays.
>>282952229*chapter 18
>>282950642I think Mao keeps a fairly brisk pace up to volume 8 or so. After that it starts getting slower with a lot of short one-off arcs, which will probably have an effect on reader retention.
>>282953200and then last spring we got a whole lot of plot I think that's going to be the last English volume dumped, unless OP decides to use the simulpubsthe whiplash was crazy lol that was fun :-)
>>282953883 (me)on that note, why the fuck is the *japanese* volume release so far behind?!look at how many chapters haven't been collected yet!!>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mao_chapters#Chapters_not_yet_in_tank%C5%8Dbon_formatthe english volumes would be further along if the japanese ones were
>>282954118Well, Sunday usually releases new volumes for a bunch of series at the same time, so my guess would be that syncing them all up causes the series to gradually fall behind the pace of the magazine chapters. I suppose the editors or whoever is in charge of these things don't care about the gap that much.
New episode of the merry anime of the season in 3 hours.
>>282953018go watch it
>>282929985Does this expand thingy only know how to do the "one piece" boobs?
I’m more than a little surprised to see this got an anime. Had quite a bit of fun following those threads while on vacation last year, so I’ll definitely tune in for these watch threads.
>>282928523>This is definitely AOTS so farHell no
>>282953142It can do ass just not enough screenshot opportunities for ass
I see a lot of daily storytimes in the catalog for series that are hundreds of chapters long.Which is nice, but also quite a commitment. Maybe sometimes you want to read along with /a/ for just a short while.In this thread I'll be posting a few short stories and one-shots with breaks inbetween, for as long as the thread stays alive.Feel free to discuss anything manga-related, or maybe even to dump a story yourself if you want to share something you enjoyed. Previous thread if you want to read the stories: https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/282602745
End.
>>282953846Awesome
This is Saint Muscle, a very early GAR/proto-Fist of the North Star manga made by a gekiga author published in Weekly Shonen that ran for only 6 chaptersIt was announced with a 2 page spread of a man's ass for advertisingThe protagonist has no name, backstory, and identity, and wanders a wasteland battling horrifically rendered freaks of nature
>>282954115>Exit-levelit's when you want to kill yourself after reading it?
Anyone who uses the term gekiga these days is a tryhard poser.>It was announced with a 2 page spread of a man's ass for advertisingWhy are manimefags all barely closeted homosexuals?
Whats the term for when an older (30s-40s) woman wears outfits for younger girls that she doesnt fit in anymore? Occasional shes embarrassed, but the art usually focuses on the fuller figure beneath the clothes. This is very important.

>>282949665predictable from c1
>>282951006At least they fuck
>>282948285>I feel is a misuse of the term.Hate to point out that it's always misused because it's derogatory in any use. Pure misogyny. Then again most of the people on this board are intellectually and emotionally stunted so...

>>282951323Reccoa wasn't really notable for anything in the show before switching sidesMashymere was comic relief and was probably meant to stay on the protagonists' side before they changed their plans with Glemy
