>Suffering from a rare, incurable illness that causes frightening changes to her body, loner Kuroe Akaishi spends her high school days avoiding all her classmates—especially class idol Arata Minami and his groupies.

>Kaiju Girl Caramelise (Japanese: 乙女怪獣キャラメリゼ, Hepburn: Otome Kaijū Kyaramerize) is a seinen manga[a] >a. The demographic of a manga series is generally determined by the demographic of its magazine of publication. This particular series is noteworthy for being called a "shōjo" by the manga author and editors.WTF. Am I allowed to watch this or not?
>>284667045Fucking finally
>>284667045YOOOOOOFinally, some good fucking anime
>>284667045YAY!Good start to the day.
>>284667237stop being an unbased conformist that only does 'approved' actions
>>284667779I was joking. Or half joking. I don't want to watch shoujo because the writers are always evil.
>>284667045>body transformationsso I'll see her get big boobs and have periods?
>>284667237Comic Alive is a shonen magazine.
Imagine the sex
I remember wanting to read the raws as immersion practice but I couldn't find a single source that had them in high quality. Everything was blurry to the degree you could barely read the kanji
>>284669277It's a bit blurry but not unreadable.
>>284667045The Kaiju girl and the Omoshiroi prince.
Tokushit has been getting alot of well produced anime since gridman. I haven't seen one that's not well animated aside from sentai shit.>gridman >dynazenon>gridman universe>tojima kamen rider>kamen rider w>thisi hope this one looks good too
>>284669419Where'd you find this? I remember the ones I found looked worse
>>284669981SRI was good as well, thank you very much
>>284670069DMM but it should be the same across most ABJ stores.That's volume 8. Volume 1 has lower resolution than the rest.
>>284669981This isn't Toku though. It really is maily shoujo with the MC transforming and not doing much when she is, save for one kaiju on kaiju battle which will likely end the season if they get that far.
>>284670252Don't watch godzilla singular point
This is one of the rare series where the editor need to be praised for tard wrangling the mangaka.tl;dr>Mangaka and editor agreed to make a kaiju themed story>Since it's shonen magazine, mangaka went the safe route and drafted an LN-esque story of generic male MC x kaiju heroines>Editor gently trashed the draft and gave constructive criticism>Result
>>284670316Editor also told the mangaka to post the first chapter on twitter when it wan't gaining any traction.Truly a hero among a sea of shitty editorial staff.
What other tokusatsu adjacent/inspired manga need anime adaptations?
>>284667045No fucking way, this shoujo manga is so cute.
>>284670912an adaption of the kamen rider black manga that's given all the bells and whistles of a serious drama like what Pluto gotI need to see picrel animated and voice acted with 100% full sincerity and no cut corners
>>284670252>>284669981What does toku even mean?Is it supposed to be an abbreviation of tokusatsu which itself is an abbreviation of tokushuu satsuei, the Japanese name for SFX?The word gets mangled further and further to the point of nothingness.
>>284671007>the kamen rider black mangaDamn, that's a good one. I need to read it again at some point, it's been ages.
>>284670069>>284669419looks like screenshot ripsyou get far better quality by ripping properly
>>284671007That's Kamen Rider Spirits, not Black. But, yeah, I'd really love a Spirits adaptation. It does an excellent job both introducing the first 10 Showa Riders and being a sequel to them.
>>284670316>>284670813they should make him the PM of Japan
>>284671087Those are from the epub. You're not going to get a better version unless you scan the paper version or similar.
>>284671128they seem way too blurry to be epub rips, but whatever you see
>>284671164That's how Media Factory publishes them.Some publishers like Houbunsha are even worse.
>>284667045>Liden filmsIt's over
>>284671267They've been doing a pretty good job with Toujima though
>>284670316Based as fuck
>>284667045Cool, I never would've predicted this
>>284667045>no audio because that stupid AI-dub function is being automatically turned on and then getting completely blocked by my adblocker and spyware filters such that the option to turn it off doesn't even appear >switch to spare browser to double check its not something else causing the issue>it is exactly that. and the auto-dub literally sounds like the 'tiktok lady' text to speech voicethere's going to be an actual generation of kids that grow up watching anime like this if it doesn't stop
Just caught up with the manga with the announcement, looking forward to it. It's very cute.
>>284671041In English we use toku as a loanword, similar to anime, in that it doesn't directly map onto the Japanese term. We do specifically use it to refer to Japanese works heavy on special effects and suit acting (i.e. hero shows, kaiju) but also it has a bit of a "genre modifier" in that works that aren't live action can be "toku-esque," whether they're just heavily inspired by toku or if they use toku-style productions - like a video game's mocap might try to emulate suit actors specifically instead of "normal" actors.In Japan, tokusatsu DOES mean any work that heavily features special effects but even for native speakers it implies hero shows and the like. Though Japan would classify works like sci-fi or monster movies or wire-fu as toku (GARO has a ton of non-suit action), they do commonly use it similar to how we use the term in English.
>>284672519Why don't we shorten it to ani or a? Anybody involved in the discussion is going to understand what it means.

>>284673048thank
>>284672552My hero. The monster lover!>>284672572The REAL monster lover!
I like that the music is Ikufube-esque. I hope it's not just for the trailer.
>>284670945Actually it's shounen
>>284667045>Shounen mangaDoes that mean Japanese men want to fuck kaijus?
>>284673704always have
>>284672519Yeah, for example the DMC games used actors from toku shows.
>>284673704Yes, but it's also not limited to Japanese or men
>bottom of thread>No Sakura stomping gif./a/ is so fucking over.
Kuroe-chan is top cute
