So the DDDDD thread made me realize that kissu doesn't really have any threads dedicated to manga that I could find. The focus seems to be too much on seasonal anime. I realize that this is because manga is much harder to find/follow than seasonal stuff as there are no clear guidelines for it and Westerners don't read comics nearly as much as the Japanese do.

Anyway, what manga have you been reading recently? I just read the latest chapter of Shimeji Simulation a few days ago. As with anything made by Tsukumizu so far it is great. Definitely recommend it to everyone here and I do hope it eventually gets an anime adaption as well like SSR.

File:The Summer Hikaru Died - c….png (943.49 KB,1400x1991)

So I've been reading a bunch of manga, predominantly horror, and have some reviews for them in the making. I had planned to open with Ride-on King, but seeing >>>/jp/72171 I might as well go with one of the most positive, for Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu. I it enjoyed quite a bit, second only to Shintaro's work that I'll post about later.

The premise is set up in an admirably elegant way: two boys in the countryside are sitting on a bench, chatting, drinking a bit, and one of the two mentions a little oddity. His best friend's accent... is off. It's been off ever since he returned from a strange trip about six months ago, and that's not the only thing standing out. Hikaru's behavior is not what it used to be. Hikaru is not what he used to be. It, rather. So, Yoshiki asks, you're not the real one, are you? Thus, a confession, a demonstration, and a threat all at once. "Hikaru" wishes above all to be a human, so please, I beg of you, I love you, don't give it away. Or I'll kill you. All that's certain now, is that Hikaru has died.

Said elegance comes from the fact that this all happens within the span of eleven pages, three of which are full-page drawings. The premise is in a sense an inverted Higurashi where the culprit is known from the get-go, and the protagonist uneasily collaborates with them in order to cover it up. They want to protect each other, Yoshiki cannot let his friend go even if he only lives on as a fake double, but their relationship is constantly in tension as wrongness encroaches upon the town in no small part due to "Hikaru's" direct involvement. And you know what else is in tension? Their sexuality! Take a good at those tags: it says BL right there on the tin. Homosexual tension with the doppelganger, who knows that you that you know. Of course, his name is symbolic: the light is what's dead and gone. It's absolutely fucking brilliant and I loved it.

More than so any other manga I'm going to review, the visuals do a beyond excellent job at carrying the atmosphere. It uses varying angles, rotation, warping, impeccable lighting, onomatopoeia with great freedom, and some touching abstractions here and there to truly convey the moment's feel and enrich Yoshiki's depressed sadboy mug. There's a part with a bathtub where the main body of water and its splashes and the bubbles inside and the droplets flying out all have a texture that's just a joy to look at. "HiPost too long.

I've been reading Tower Dungeon (the new Nihei manga) as it comes out and it has been quite interesting so far. It's also interesting to see that it has been more popular than his previous recent-ish series, at least on 4/a/, where it has routinely received dump threads ~\(≧▽≦)/~

I recently finished Happiness, which I liked quite a lot - I do have a soft spot for romance (and vampires too). This was the second manga by Shūzō Oshimi that I've read, the other being Blood on the tracks, which I thought was ok. I did read that one in a day however, so I'm sorry for the bit of speed reading - I should've slowed down, I think I spoiled it somewhat, especially with the slow pacing in the second half.

Yeah I don't think Nihei ever made a bad manga. Tower Dungeon is pretty different from his usual cyberpunk/sci-fi stuff but still interesting. I don't think he's as good at drawing medieval architecture as he is with sci-fi architecture/structures though.

It takes a minute to do 50 pushups. Why can't I work up the motivation to spend a minute on my health...

 No.122250

>>122248
At my current pace, it will take me years to do 50 push ups. I can't even remember when I did the last one.

But push-ups aren't much a health thing. You should find hobbies that involve you moving your body or, if a hobby is unrealistic, perhaps substitute one of your means of travel with a bike, or even your feet.

>>122248
A minute? That can't be right. Like other exercises, push-ups should be slow. The controlled descent against gravity is an important part of it. It's similar to how you shouldn't use momentum while doing curls and such. And numbers don't matter, exhaustion and tissue tearing is what matters. 20 slow pushups with methodical muscle control is better than 50 fast ones with poor form that ignores half of the routine.

 No.122261

>>122259
Oh, I don't ignore form at all when doing pushups, but even with perfect form I can still do about 1 every second or two, though it goes down the more I do to where some of the last ones on an endurance push will take me about 10 seconds each.

It's a terrible feeling to train for endurance. It feels like you're about to pass out while doing it. I'd rather just place a massive cement block on my back than do more than 20 pushups.

How do you feel about all the different versions of Miku? Does it get on your nerves if people don't stick to a general mold of the character that feels appropriate or are you fine with the artists vision being expressed through her freely? I'm more in the latter camp since I feel it fits better with vocaloids in general being for people to make their own music with, and not for people to make music for the vocaloid.

It does seem that way compared to old characters. I didn't buy her, though, so I wonder if it's the 'free character of the week' thing where you get to demo characters. I've never liked characters that are simply strong, though, because they're boring. She's basically just a stronger version of Kae, but also one that's less fun because there isn't double-dipping with specifics cards and the hyper is boring as well.

Sugu is just probability. If you crunched the numbers, you'd have seen she was the character most likely to win in the long run. Her victories just leave a mark because her results are almost always either winning big or losing big, which is what makes her fun to play.

True, but the breadth of well-informed stuff vs generic lewd is so wide that I think it's unreasonable to disregard the latter. Affectionate + in-character sex is great. But sometimes a wank is just a wank, and good art of some random girl you stumbled across will suffice.
That's why original characters are best.
