Maybe we should get another Eden. TodayChapter 35: Declaration of WarLast Thread (Chapters 33-34): >>282520538
>>282577537I love how the cyborgs look in this, even if it's only simple lines drawn across a regular body.
>>282577776poor kid can't catch a break
It's one after another with this kid
And done. this chapter reminded me a lot of Lynch's Blue VelvetOn that note, have you seen the film? What did you think?See you tomorrow
>>282578154Hey at least they didn't turn him into a fucktoy.
>>282578019Elijah probably didn't mind him dying. He's still seething at him talking shit in the car.
>>282577395We are so back!
>>282577655yowch!
>>282578193Thanks op I've never seen it
>>282577985He'll never hyuk hyuk again
>>282577655>>282577630That guy, or atleast his weapon, is based on the yakuza from Johnny Mnemonic:https://youtu.be/zhI6vkNWXRw?t=73
>>282578154Can't catch a break>>282578202>yet
Is interestin how this narco drama is the best arc of the manga, while all the sci fi space thing that happens in the ends is the most boring.
>>282577537ENTER!>>282577607>>282577655EXIT!
>>282577879Hey, it's that guy from Ajin!
Greates love story ever told
>>282578019All that futuristic tech, cyborgs and whatnot... Think they could go a tit more sophisticated than an old ass wired mic for that?And speaking of, why couldn't the other guy just scan him for old ass wired mics instead of scanning him for lies? Silly.>>282578193>this chapter reminded me a lot of Lynch's Blue VelvetBecause the MC gets mixed into some weird shit out of his control?>>282578193>have you seen the film?Don't think I've seen it in the full.>What did you think?I've a lot of respect towards old Lynch-san, anyway.
>>282581026Spoiler that you moron
>>282577854Are they going to beat him up in the same place?
>>282577580>if your gonna fightdarling you're the one who called them in here
>>282581069The cops don't get any funds, so they have to use centuries old tech.
>>282581399The more I think about it, the more I believe that it'd be reasonable in the setting to _never_ actually make any dealings in the open. Just a tiny drone hovering a few hundred metres away in the sky, far enough to be unnoticeable, but well within it's own monitoring range, bugged vehicles, bugged city lights, bugged people, cyborg animals, high tech satellites. Looks like Endo didn't put that into consideration, really.Shame tho, I like the setting and the story (with bonus points for nostalgia).
>>282577485Lean a little farther
>>282578154Can Elijah stop getting kidnapped for like five minutes
>>282578193Thanks OP Haven't seen it, I'm afraid
>>282582129I don't really know what he expects, he kind of deserves it. He just hanging out in the underworld unsupervised even though he's related to a big shot.
>>282581069>>282581399>>282581611It's an interesting setting and I think Endo actually gave some effort thinking it through, but maybe not as extensively as he could. Tried and true ceberpunk mix of high tech and low life but it gets even more emphasis how Propatria got the crazy new shit like these ais and super soldiers and whatnot, while the dregs of society just get cyber modifications at best. And looking down from just a quarter a century later, it also looks charmingly anachronistic how they still use flip phones and aren't dying from omnipresent drones.
>>282577395Funny how the Act-Age daily and this one have a chapter titled Declaration of War at the same time
>>282578193Thank you for posting. I haven't.
>>282585641All dailies are connected.
bump for readers
>>282581399Hobby grade.
>>282584146Sci-fi in general has an aging out problem, but cyberpunk in particular seems to suffer acutely from digital technology advancing in ways that authors have trouble predicting.
>>282591972We should be past the worst of that curve today.
>>282578193I haven't watched anything by Lynch since Eraserhead. I was not in a good place (literally) when I watched it. There was a nausea I got but I'm unsure if it was because I was on a plane or if the movie made me that uncomfortable.
Let's make it this time.
>>282577625it's all about choosing where to put the lines
>>282578043>prohibid estasionoh, endo
>>282583399Doesn't help either that apparently everyone knows who he is (or rather, whose son he is. Funnily Ennoia seems to care the least right now).
>>282581191Spoilers are alien to some people.
An Eden away from spoilers. Today Chapter 36: Mind Confusion
Huh, had to download the picture from another place, the original had the first panel painted half in white
Oh fuck it's like she's competing with Sophia
Grim
And done. My boy is actually smartAre you reading any books?I'm currently reading Tristan and Isolde, it's quite goodSee you tomorrow
>>282600316I haven't read any real books in quite a while. Too occupied by manga.
>>282600316Thank you for posting, OP.
>>282599728A fucking (digital data linear access) tape deck LMAO!Think I like the retro-futuro style.
>>282600316Thank you for posting. I'm currently reading The Command of the Ocean, A Naval History of Britain, 1649-1815 by N.A.M. Rodger. It's really good if you enjoy naval stuff.

>>282600316Thanks for posting OP, I've been casually reading this book called Recursion. Not entirely sure what its about yet.
>>282600015Thinking back on it, it's so much easier for a woman to be a whore compared to a man. The thought of getting hard 6 times a day leaves me panic stricken.
>>282600015Skill issue, I could probably suck that much cocks without drugs
>>282605237His drugs were just THAT good
>>282600316Thanks OP, I have t read any books in a while and my stockpile is getting bigger
>>282609527prove it anon
>>282603272It's a big part of the charm of cyberpunk, I think.Extremely wrong predictions.
>>282605296???
>>282612832Make your bump less gay next time
>>282600316I've been reading about planting and maintaining fruit trees, if we're talking about regular books that aren't comics or about art.
>>282608189I doubt male whores even get 6 clients a day, so it's probably not that bad.
>>282613993Six female clients anyway.
>>282608189>>282613993Also I'm pretty sure most male whores are getting fucked and not doing the fucking

>>282600316Thx mate.>Are you reading any books?Read History of Central Banking and Enslavement of Mankind, liked it.Then Bronze Age Mindset, didn't like it.Now Great God Pan, shaping up to be a good one.

>>282612832The loli is sexy, what is there to be confused about?
>>282600316I'm reading the uncanny by Freud. He writes in a surprisingly simple and understandable way.
>>282617059>History of Central Banking and Enslavement of MankindUh-oh...
>>282619275I didn't expect that second part.
>>282621374That's why it's surprising.
Just a little longer
bump
>>282620261Yeah it's a rough world out there
>>282623350>stacked Naoto Hell yeah
Can we make it, l/a/ds?
Got my Eden back. TodayChapter 37: Trip On
>>282625561>Trip OnEden posting here?!
>>282625847It's maya shitposting on here
Who you picking
>>282625908I mean, it would be in-character.
I thought this was such a great series when I went through it a few years ago.Does anyone know why the author seems to not have any other serializations in a similar vein? I know All-rounder is relatively well received but it's a totally different genre.
>>282626370>This car can take anything.Uh-oh.
Oh fuck this guy
And done. Poor Helena is gonna end up hating ElijahYou reading any other manga?I'm reading Asobi, Holyland and Act-Age's dailiesSee you tomorrow
>>282626435Lmao why did he up the offer if she already agreed?! Helena is not THAT beautiful.Anyway, something bad will happen to the ladies, innit.
>>282626613>You reading any other manga?You mean at all, this very moment, or just the /a/ dumps?At all, I'm reading a few titles.Right now, I am "reading" (haven't touched it in weeks, if not months) "Ikigami" after seeing a few chapters dropped here.From the dailies, I only read some "Holyland". It's weird, not sure if I like it or not.Cheerio.
i read ahead and man is that a lot of sex i didn't expect so much sex
>>282627090Not the guy you responded to but I recently read through Ikigami, it's solid. Gets pretty repetitive but the final couple of volumes were good.
>>282626946>spoiler What on Earth gave you that idea? This is a wholesome manga.
>>282626946I hate to tell you this but don't get invested in side characters because they all die. Elijah shows up and they die. Period.
>>282627610My biggest gripe right now (I'm about half way thru) is that it feels too much like a weekly strip or something, with the stories repeating the 1-2-3 chapter scheme and lacking an overarching plot rather than "guy gets ikigami'd, lets see".Later chapters get on more serious IIRC.Feels like the title was balancing on the proverbial axe for quite the time, before the author could fully commit.My personal hiatus has nothing to do with the quality of the story, tho. It's a "me" thing, it happens.
>>282626613Thanks OP, same as you but I'm also reading the getter robo one, and I'll check out the daily junji ito chapters every now and then
>>282626370As expected of CHAD THUNDERCOCK.
>>282626013The whorevengers
>>282626013>To fuck the world!
>>282605895>>282619162Yeah the difference is massive. For starters, the high is just so much more blissful and encompassing with heroin, it really "solves all your problems", for a few hours. Cocaine gives self-confidence and can also (depending on the quality/batch) give you emphatic/warm feelings similar to mdma. It's nice, but it's really not comparable and the high is also much shorter.Honestly to me they're barely comparable. Heroin will wrap you in a sweet embrace that makes you want for nothing else but return to it after it ends. Cocaine will "just" make a party or social interaction more fun or stimulating.
>>282626333Pedro is really hung up on this chick. He shouldn't have sold her off if he's willing to go this far to get her back.
>>282627408still mad one of the author's short stories had porn tier graphic depictions but the tankoubon version got the non-porn erotica treatmenteven more mad that nothing has changed in japan since this was released
>>282626613Well I suppose we're nearing the end of volume 6 (haven't actually counted chapters) so guess time for another (named) character to bite the dust (?). Not looking good for Helena anyways.Also this Pedro guy sure has oneitis for Manuela and yet sold her anyways lol
>>282633103Maybe this is part of Pedros business model, like he sells her of, then she runs out of drugs or gets thrown out because she is a junky and then she comesback to him and he can sell her again.The problem currently is that helena doesn't want to let her go
>>282626370>headlight smear Love it every time
>>282626613Thanks OP Other than dailies I've been reading Elusive Samurai and Biscuit Hammer
>>282626613Thank you for posting.
>>282627408/a/ is gonna freak
>>282626946>why did he up the offer if she already agreedMaybe her saying "Okay" the first time was a translation mistake?
>>282629867>>282630440kek
>>282625654who's this sexy black queen?
>>282626013naomi
I want a SoL series with these two.
>>282626613I'm reading the Naruto daily too. I can't seem to read manga online without choice paralysis. The ephemeral nature of these boards and the fact that reading manga in the archives is a pain helps me set aside time to read from here. As for manga I can hold in my hands, I am reading Saint Young Men from my public library.
>>282626613Read Talk to My Back and Robo Sapiens recently.Currently following the Getter Robo, Kakugo no Susume, and Takemitsu Zamurai threads. I was also following the Ito threads for Rasputin the Patriot but have since dropped off because his regular fare isn't really my thing although he's definitely a great mangaka.Not that you asked, but I also look at a lot of art books. Currently browsing a book on late 19th century literary posters.
Bumpless bump
>>282625618What's Gnosia again?I keep forgetting.
>>282625908>Get in. I'll take you home.It would be hilarious if this was another kidnapping.
>>282626013I don't know why this panel is so funny.This feels like how a team of heroes or villains would be introduced, not prostitutes.
>>282603272They could be using the tape deck because it's an analog piece of equipment that they're certain has no bugs hidden inside. If you record with something like a smartphone it's much harder to prove it isn't compromised. I could imagine cops or spies using gear like that for the same reason IRL today.It's like when someone asked about GITS "why are there cyberhands that split into 30 fingers for super-fast typing when you could just plug your brain into the computer?" The purpose is having an airgapped interface in a world where your brain can literally be infected with viruses that overwrite your personality.
>>282626435>Fifty-five.>Okay.>Fifty-seven.Worst haggler ever.
>>282605895Big difference, not just in effect but in intensity and dependency. Cocaine can still fuck you up, but heroin is nasty shit. Chalk this up to the usual jap drug propaganda.
>>282644522Fantastic storytelling to show he's sus
>>282642630It's poses, they are trying too hard to look stylish as opposed to looking though, even before you consider what they actually are.
>>282626946I take it as a "I'm listening/we're getting somewhere" ok rather than a full approval.
>>282626613Thx mate. Man, Helena is not having the best time of her life right now.>You reading any other manga?For d/a/ilys I'm following Conan, Asobi Asobase, Apocalypse Zero, and New Lone Wolf and Cub. Was following the Getter Robo one but I dropped it. Didn't finish Emma either.Besides the regular updated manga haven't read many other titles on my own lately. Last titles I've stated following were Class of Brains, School Back, Yane no Shita no Artemis and Longing for Home. Had a terrible slump last week and my heart is no longer into it.
>>282646678>Longing for HomeI went in expecting more greatness from the Hyouge Mono author.But honestly it's not very good
>>282646748I can see the story structure being more of a selective taste. Especially with how similar the two major arcs are in their subject matter. So I understand your opinion.Personally, I enjoy how it goes over the issue of economy in a post-collapse society. I also love how it's one of the few works that takes into account how fast people rebuild society.
>>282641045>Not that you asked, but I also look at a lot of art books. Currently browsing a book on late 19th century literary posters.That's actually very interesting anon, what's the book?
