Manga Discussion

There is pretty much already a Anime discussion thread but I haven't seen a Manga one yet, I have read a few manga but forgot what they were called and was surprised how entertaining it can be, right now I'm reading JoJo Part 3 and continued where the latest episode of the anime left off.

Edit : Manwha/Manhua is allowed to be discussed as well

 

I have heard of Berserk being one of the best if not the best manga ever, and about JoJo I haven't actually read the 1st and 2nd part but rather just watched them (anime adaptation) so not sure how they are but as far as I know there are no differences between them. JoJo is also surprisingly gory and everything pretty much gets brutally killed dies, doesn't care if it's a dog or a person.

Completely forgot to mention my beloved HxH I had finished the anime not so long ago and holy shit talk about the best shonen ever made, it's good as a shonen that it actually isn't ( comparing it to battle shonens like DBZ and Bleach etc ) Planning to read the manga at some point, though reading JoJo right now.

 

Manwha, isn't that like Chinese/Korean manga? I remember reading one called Breaker, it was very interesting but I somehow lost track what chapter I was on and completely forgot about it.

 

Yeah, I can remember when I first started reading Breaker and noticed all the names were in Korean. I thought it was just a unique thing for that manga without realizing it was actually a Manwha.

I'm also downloading some Manga right now due to my internet messing up yesterday for the whole evening and night, it's fixed now but it's made me download some emergency Manga and Anime in case it happens again.

Just finished Stardust Crusaders, know I understand all the JoJo memes hooray! It got really good when they got to Egypt, it's tied with Battle Tendency at the moment. I've heard good things from part 4, downloading manga since internet keeps fucking up, goes on for 30 mins, goes off for like 2 hours. Super annoying, gotta live with it though.

 

I've read The World God Only Knows. (and probably some other stuff that I can't remember.)
Right now I'm reading Bakuman, Ashita no Joe and D-Frag. I've read a bit of JoJo, but I'm waiting until there's more of a gap in the anime. Same for Kuroko no Basuke. (which ended but then a sequel manga was announced really quickly).

Bakuman is by the same guys who made Death Note, and is basically the story of two guys who team up to write manga. Well drawn, cool characters and the really interesting manga ideas. It's pretty realistic so you learn quite a lot about making/editing manga especially at Shonen Jump.

Ashita no Joe is a pretty old manga that the protagonist in Bakuman liked. It's about a guy called Joe who rips off this old guy who taught him how to box and then he gets sent to prison. The old guy still helps him out and then he meets a really strong boxer in prison and causing him to train seriously. (Before he just got by on his strong punch and was kinda of mean to everyone he met.) The art style is really old, but you get used to it. Pretty interesting though and apparently there's this really cool speech later on, but I haven't got to that yet.

I can't explain D-Frag. I tried. It's kinda like Nichijou. (I'm going to read that too) Random weird stuff happens; person reacts.

 

Somebody give me a manga to marathon, will do it as fast as possible, better be a good one though!

 

I watched naruto once...

Just started Jojo part 4, most of it actually coloured so that's a plus. A good and interesting start as well.

EDIT: Also no more DUWANG
