Nothing ever happens, the manga
How do you follow up kino like Dorohedoro with this steaming pile?

It took a while to get going but now current arc has all the happenings
>>
>>287302638
It's fine but it is completely hampered by the dumbfuck retard doing the fan translation. Absolutely terrible and soulless translation, I can't wait for the official translation to outpace his dumbass.
>>
>>287302742
But his sick mom!
>>
>>287302638
Look, I don't give a fuck if something happens or not, if it's from Q Hayashida it's pure gold anyway. Also Damemaru revealed to be Chidaruma and Nagurun the fuckin Hole it's not nothing.
>>
>>287302817
Look it'd be one thing if his translations were bad, it'd be one thing if the translations were slow, and it'd be one thing if he was e-begging every single chapter. But the fact that it's ALL THREE at the same time is fucking nuts.
>>
>>287302694
This was secretly a stealth thread to figure out if it ever ended up getting good.
Has a real plot emerged? Worth picking up again?
>>
>>287302904
It has less of a plot than Dorohedoro had at this point but there is a plot developing now.
But if you really hated the fact that it was just a bunch of weird fucks dicking around in space you should probably just drop the manga, since it's still mostly that and will probably continue being that for a very long time.
>>
>>287302933
Especially if the fanlator is mediocre, sounds like its best I dont bother then.
Thanks anon.
>>
>>287303053
Yeah, it's probably a manga that will be better enjoyed for you (and frankly, a lot of people) once it's totally finished and has a full official translation.
>>
>>287302638
I read it to see what the next thing Q Hayashida will draw and call a spaceship.

I'm nearing the end of Dorohedoro and I see this page a moment ago, from a page showing all the devils and their former sorcerer names. Makes me wonder how long QH had the idea for Dai Dark. But then, there's a lot of thematic and conceptual overlap between the two series, so I guess it's not that surprising.
>>
>>287302638
Name a single chapter where nothing happens
>>
so is this going to be in the same universe as Dorohedoro or what? there was some weird powerful creature that clearly had a devil tail at one point but it hasn't been mentioned again yet

Damemaru is confirmed to be Chidaruma, and there was a whole arc about some dude becoming a devil from eating his flesh.
>>
>>287302742
Learn Japanese already.
>>
>>287304352
I still think they're all(or at least most of them) parts of Chidaruma that split off. Mostly because it'd be funny for him to finally make friends only for them to technically also be his own self

It was funny to see the trannylator sudden using "they/them" for Shop Valley out of nowhere just because she had short hair
Just to 10 chapters later the author decided to put her fully naked with the tits out, basically screaming at the audience that the character is female

You seem to have never read Dorohedoro while it was ongoing.

Lots of people don't think about what dorohedoro's pacing would feel like stretched over the 18 years it released monthly.

This is instantly cooler than Dorohedoro. The sci-fi Horror house setting and 4 main characters being the final bosses of the universe is a perfect setup. Totally more unique than anything out there right now. I'm completely happy seeing them go space shopping inside a space costco while a nuclear bomb counts down, or get evil darkness ice cream. I just want to explore Hiyashida's imagination

i only wish to experience a relationship as close and long lasting as the one Hayashida has with her lsd dealer

Don't care. They killed best girl.

She'll be fine after she's been through the wash
>>
>>287303553
Does Shimada get any bush shots like Nikaido did?
>>
>>287309050
That's entirely Q's appeal though. Lighthearted wholesome shenanigans contrasted with horror ultraviolence and gore set in a dingy terrible setting with all the gritty details that somehow still feels whimsical is the entire reason why one reads her works.
>>
>>287309978
It's just not my thing i suppose, i don't really mind a bit of humor but it sorta kill my thing for this work in particular
>>
>>287309978
i feel like the reason this doesn't work aswell in dai dark as in dorohedoro is that we don't get a regeluar joes perspective on their world, like we got with fujita or the hole side crew or even the crosseyes at the start in dorohedoro.
>>
>>287302638
retard
>>
I have no idea how Hayashida managed to follow fantastic Underground Underground with this steaming pile of shit.
Sanko is a terrible protagonist. He has negative charisma and presence compared to typical leads from this author. Shimada is too OP to even consider a character, feels like Hayashida's blatant self insert.
It feels like this manga would work far better as a video game given how formulaic it is.
>>
>>287307726
Dai dark had stakes because it had likeabeale characters that weren't invincible and an interesting mystery.
Dai Dark only has the latter and the plot started picking up only recently.
>>
>>287311076
i think you mean dorohedoro had stakes because of the non invincible characters
But yeah i agree with you wholeheartedly, the main group feels way too strong which is weird since sanko almost dies / dies multiple times

I'm gonna be honest, I like Dorohedoro quite a lot and I don't find the girls attractive. They're anti-attractive actually.
>>
>>287311992
Its the mob faces and the lack of sexualized poses. Like they're naked, but it isn't seductive.
Instead it feels like you walked in on your mom changing or something.

dorohedoro translation in a nutshell
>>
>>287312081
Is their bodies. They look too much like fridges with boobs. I'll say that the poses are sexualized, the problem is that they're also too casual about nudity so even that gets old. Crosseyes girl was the only cutie.
>>
>>287302638
Dorohedoro's ending was a massive disappointment desu
>>
>>287314810
I hated how hard she tried to make En seem cool when he was a joke the entire time up to that point in the manga.
>>
>>287314914
En is cool. He’s the best character in the manga.
>>
>>287314936
He's shit and his death was perfect.
The revival was lame.

>>
>>287311943
Read it, it is very gritty and Heavy Metal-esque

edgefags hated gyoza magic
sorcerers hated hole-kun

everyone else had a blast
>>
>>287315377
>shippers wanted Nikaido to take the gatordick
These people can imagine whatever they want now though, I think Dorohedoro did a very good job at remaining sexual without being totally perverse
>edgefags hated gyoza magic
figured
>sorcerers hated hole-kun
what does that mean exactly
>>
>>287315377
We didn't get total sorcerer death, which is a negative
>>
>>287315377
>edgefags hated gyoza magic
I'm guilty of this

More importantly though I wanted En's crew to have their stories wrapped up more in the end, I hated how they just hung out in a big pie doing jack shit after they got their bodies rebuilt. I was invested in Ebisu and Fujita i liked their stupid antics and it just died off in the end
>>
"nothing ever happens but the vibes" is as legit subgenre as any other
>>
It's okay but it's too much mucking around.
I kinda lost interest when that leader of the church showed up going through some cringe motions. The way it's written goes through these elaborate motions of introducing some jabronis that ultimately get bodied anyway, but it takes forever to just go through it and these stale events just end up eating too much page time.
What sold Dorohedoro is that almost every single character, even tertiary ones, were interesting to just look at as they're doing stupid shit.
In Dai Dark literally everyone except the main team is garbage tier and the manga spends way too much time gassing these clowns up.

Man I'm not here to judge your taste, but hell, the girls drawn by Hayashida are peak feminity >>287303553

>>287316720
>Ebisu and Fujita
yeah :/
dorohedoro is great but it does sorta end poorly. builds up so much but in the last act lasers in on the main plot and everything else gets pushed to the side
>>
>>287307664
We mostly got translations with volume releases, so the pacing didn't seem as slow as it could in the periods we got proper magazine scans.
>>
>>287319878
I disagree. There's something about her female characters that's just unappealing.
>>
>>287308363
Aside from translating Kikurage's name literally, the Viz translation of Doro was fine. It's biggest sin was Viz pulling their usual cheap bullshit and greyscaling color pages.
>>
>>287314914
He's introduced as essentially the fucking king of sorcerer world sending enforcers around with impunity.
>>
>>287303075
hmm
>>
>>287308875
Proofs?
>>
>>287309978
Dorohedoro had a lot of more serious moments and mystery though
>>
>>287322999
I mean just look at it
>>
>>287311076
Wut. Dorohedoro characters literally never die. You always know that know people do not in fact die when they are killed in that universe. I guess the exception is some of the secondary Cross Eye characters, they stay dead. But you never really expect death to mean anything for anybody who appears on a cover.
>>
>>287320836
She draws boxy broads with perfect spheres for tits, they're big but they look like implants and the nipples are small and unappealing. I'm not enough of a cumbrain to seriously criticize her designs for not being sexy enough, and frankly I think she's a genius character designer who never misses, but you can tell she's not really into women, at least not in the way a guy is. Guys can never resist making a character like Nikaido into complete fapbait. It's weirdly tasteful with Q.
>>
>>287315377
>shippers wanted Nikaido to take the gatordick
You'd think Q drawing them married 'for a fan' would let people get the point.
>>
>>287320988
He's introduced as a mob boss who sends out killers for real jobs and loses every struggle he's in against a tough opponent until he's revived in the finale.
No one thinks that Don Corleone is the most dangerous fighter in the mob.
>>
>>287324211
The absence of the male gaze. It's refreshing.

Anon he is a walking nuclear bomb. He turned a town into mushrooms as a reflex. He's the STRONGEST sorcerer in any conventional sense.

Some people just need things to be spelled out. I remember some manga review journalist wrote a negative review of Asper-kanojo that amounted, "They never say 'autism' in it. I can't tell if she's autistic if they don't say she is."
