What are you guys currently reading?
thinking about rereading the world is mine
>seinenboys on the run is just teen angst dressed in adult setting
>>287625326That's what I thought about Holyland. 30 chapters in and it feels just like a teen angst. But for some reason the rating is pretty high on MU.
>>287625326thankfully seinen is a magazine demographic and not a genre so what you said literally doesn't matter
>>287625288just started going through Atsushi Kanekos catalogue started with soil, was pretty great made a thread about it, will probably do deathco next
>>287625369At least in Holyland the MC channels his angst into RIGHTEOUS FURY and beats the absolute dogshit out of those the wronged him.
You should read Saltiness, if you haven't yet. It's only 4 volumes too.
>>287626075oh wait, panel from another manga, my bad
I just finished blood on the tracks. I need some more melancholy and dread core. Is Oshimi’s other work similar to it, heard there’s a lot of cross dressing in his manga.
>>287626115No reason not to read Haku no Hana, it's still his best workHappiness has nothing like that too
>>287625288Now that we draw, haunted peak, Wandering, girl meat girl
>>287626115manga adaptations of Kyougoku Natsuhiko novels maybe? they're kinda not super dark but kinda heavy in suspense
>>287625288Anyone realize seinen just isn't fun? It pretends to be deep via muted or bizarre presentation and by using "mature/dark topics" but really isn't consciously trying to express anything that makes it inherently superior, when you average even the more acclaimed works.I went back to mostly reading shonen. The best seinen I've read is 3-gatsu.Seinen that don't try to be super serious and dark ALL the time, I can stand
>>287626870yeah honestly Gochiusa and Bocchi the Rock were just too edgy for my tasteretarded newfag
>>287626115>heard there’s a lot of cross dressing in his manga.I don't see why this would be an issue unless you were closeted and in denial
>>287626870>Seinen that don't try to be super serious and dark ALL the time, I can standSo you can stand the vast majority of seinen? The average Jump manga is edgier and darker than the average seinen. There's more to the world of manga than the top MAL ratings.
Yama no Susume and Rozen Maiden
>>287626870To be honest am getting tired of "OOOO MY ABUSIVE PARENTS PAST" and "I WAS RAPED AND BULLIED AT KIDS MADE FUN OF ME" trope at this point,I know if am reading any seinen set in a realistic or semi realistic society I will have to deal with that shit,like come the fuck on,people,you cannot be that creatively bankrupt
>>287626870I can't imagine someone genuinely typing this out and not being embarrassed after pressing the Post button. I hope you're 15 and just don't know any better
>>287627174skill issue on your part, clearlyI have read 700+ seinen and literally never encountered this
>>287627330You are lying if you say you haven't read seinen with some sort of rape trauma
>>287626870if you think The Fable, Golden Kamuy and Hyouge Mono aren't fun you have genuine brain damage
>seinen>it's just silly garbage but with ntr so it's DEEP and MATURE
>>287627515>I AM SILLYYes you are
Some of you guys really need to define seinen before posting any of those nonsensical garble.
>>287627585It’s defined by the magazine, how is it that you retards still don’t understand that Seinen, Shounen, Shoujo, and Josei refer to age demographics and not specific genres?
>>287627126desu
>>287627585
>>287627580based ntrsissy
pic rels translation has picked up again
>>287627794yea no one cares about age demographics, hxh is still a shounen
>>287625288Why yes, I'm enjoying Hyakkano, Minami-ke and Skip to Loafer. I'm a huge seinen fan, how could you tell?
>>287629175Of course it’s a shonen, it’s for young boys and published in WSJ. HxH trannies started that "soft seinen" because they were insecure over it gettting lumped with the big three as kiddie shonen
shonen or seinen?
>>287626870You don't seem to understand what seinen is. I have to question if you even know Japanese.
>>287626115I liked his net café manga. A lot.But i don't think it's good, it could have been very good based on the premise. I do think the ending is well done, which is extremely rare in manga.
>>287627174>when average moeshitter gets his seinen rec from discord buddiesThanks for making me waste my time looking at the top seinen manga on Baka-Updates to verify how wrong you are.
>>287627515Hell yeah, give me my 1000th isekai self-insert harem slop so I can feel less miserable about my life. Go tell em fellow incel bro.
>>287629801Isn't Bakaupdates often wrong about the classification? For instance they consider Comic Alive as a seinen magazine. I wouldn't trust any English language source since the contributors are unlikely to tell the differences. Their voting is also going to be skewed and personally you shouldn't believe any ranking.
