BAY'S ONCE-A-DAY-MANGA-RECOMMENDATION

[Bay K.W. Arde]

I'll post a manga recommendation once a day.
YOU MAY NOT ASK FOR RECOMMENDATIONS.
You may express your opinion of the manga though.


You can read them on Batoto or grab a link in Mangatraders, or you can use this nifty software called domdomsoft manga downloader.

First Recommendation will be:

Spoiler: Die The Death

This is Umineko Naku Koro ni manga adaptation. There are 8 separate episodes just like how the VN was separated into 8 part. All episodes was done in superb manner, the art were good and able to carry out the atmosphere. I still love the VN more though.

If you read enough manga that you think you can post ~30 a month (or over 300 in a year, for that matter), that is rather impressive. :)

Well, I did check my sorted manga folder and have 294 separate folder for different titles. I haven't check my download folder but it's save to say that I have enough title to provide for a year.

Today's recommendation is:

Spoiler: Terminator

The manga above is Hinamatsuri. This is a top recommendation for those who like non-stop laughter. The story follow Nitta Yoshifumi, a rising young yakuza officer as he found a strange capsule which contain a mysterious girl. Nitta named her Hina and acted as her guardian. Anyway just read it, each page lead to laughter and when you move to another page your laughter will get harder. Well, that's my experience with this manga.

Today's recommendation is:

Spoiler: Let's make some kids

The manga I posted today is Ran to Haiiro no Sekai, roughly translated as Ran and the Grey World. One thing I can say about this manga is MAGICAL. This manga is not about battle or saving the world, this is just a story about a girl with her worry, a brother in mating season, a mother so beautiful she's literally shining and a father who ran an army of crows. A must read. READ IT NOW, I warned you.

 

[Bay K.W. Arde]

Today's recommendation is:

Spoiler: You got problem with my gun, punk?

Name's is Black Bullet. In a world filled with virus that can alter human's DNA and change their form, Gastrea. 10 years after the first virus breakout we follow the daily lives of Satomi Rentarou, a Promoter of a poor security company and his partner the fighting loli Aihara Enju, an Initiator that capable of superhuman ability thanks to the Gastrea virus insider her body.

Action, comedy, blood, and loli. What are you waiting for? Go read it right now.

 

[Bay K.W. Arde]

Today's recommendation is:

Spoiler: You will never make an OL bush like that

It's a one-shot compilation by Mizutani Fuuka. The main story of this book is called Game Over. A short tale about a lonely office lady who meet the love of her live, a middle schooler in a bus they use every day in a very unconventional way. Sure this manga is not about action, nakama, ninja much less about shinigami but I'm sure you will enjoy it all the same. A definite read if you love heartwarming story, smile and laughter should accompany you while you read through this work.

This is good thread will take a look here every week then. ^^

 

[Bay K.W. Arde]

Recommendation, recommendation:

Spoiler: What kind of world did you see with that eyes

Natsu no Zenjitsu. It's one of my all time favorite romance manga. Lovers, an aspiring young art student and a renowned art curator (or whatever her job is, I need tor read it again later). Follow their lives and interactions. Understanding and misunderstanding, how they view their world, themselves. Anyway the art is great and you will enjoy it.

 

[Bay K.W. Arde]

Today's recommendation is:

Spoiler: A smile for every page

This is a part of a one-shot manga called Suki mo Yoi by Sui Hutami. I won't go for the spoiler but the inside of the manga is really light and fluff. As you see in the example page, the art is simple so both girls and boys can definitely enjoy this together.

This is a manga where you smile for every page, now go read it.

Spoiler: P.S.

If you want to know where to read or download the manga, please refer to the first post.

 

[Bay K.W. Arde]

Recommendation of something I read sometimes ago but get updated just recently:

Spoiler: Q.E.D

Follow the everyday hectic schedule of Horse's bone, a comic store in the electric city of Akihabara. Full of quirky worker, this comic store struggle trough thousand of Doujin and Manga. It's fun, no excessive fanservice, a light comedy that can be read when you commuting. Oh, the name is Denkigai no Honyasan.

Stop browsing and read it.

 

[Bay K.W. Arde]

This manga is old but recently had a new volume and the translator have been revving up their machine for new chapters:

Spoiler: Lewdest 4-koma ever made

The name of the manga is Houkago Play. A romance comedy manga with a very good storytelling despite the limitation of a 4-koma form. One of the unique thing about this manga is the fact that none of the characters name are named. For example, in the first volume the character are simply called kanojo and kareshi (girlfriend and boyfriend or you can also translate it as that girl and that boy/guy). Also when you read this manga read them from the left 4koma to the right.

Anyway stop browsing and read this manga now.

 

[Bay K.W. Arde]

Recommendation's time:

Spoiler: Just a freaking banana

One day, the overly developed 11-year-old Sakura Moe and her mother move in next door to Yamada. While her mother's away, Moe runs over to Yamada's house in a bath towel, demanding that he "rescue" her. Unluckily, that day also happens to be the first day ever that Shiori comes over to Yamada's house on an errand about schoolwork. Now she not only thinks he's a stalker, but also a pedophile! Will Yamada be able to convince her it was all a big misunderstanding or has he lost the girl of his dreams before he even got the courage to say "Hello"?

What can I say, romcom is like a snack for me. This manga might not as awesome as KnJ but it worth a read.
Now stop browsing and read this manga.

Thanks now that you mention it, I forgot to introduce that manga first. Better late than never I guess. That will make two recommendation today:

Spoiler: Society's trash is what I'd like to say but some people does have situation that they reclused into this.

Sora no Shita Yane no Naka, A comedy story featuring a NEET girl who become one after she graduated from highschool. This girl is by no mean lazy, she just have a very specific criteria for a job. Follow her everyday lives as she begin to turn into a functioning member of society with the push of her friends, and mother, kind of. While there is a depiction of NEET, this is a lighthearted version of it. I have two full time NEET as a friends and they are much worse than this girl, well one of them actually still looking for a job after graduating from a law school but the other is comforting himself with a part time job even though he have a major in economy.

This is a really good manga, I'm actually thinking what I'm doing with my life after reading it. Now I work as a kindergarten Teacher.

Spoiler: This is how you made a ninja manga.

Shinobi no Kuni is a manga about Mumon and Okuni. Set in the 4th year of Tenshou Era during Warring States Period (around 1567) in Japan, it tells dramatized version of The Battle of Murayama, a battle between Oda clan and the Ninja of Iga Country. The story features an ensemble of cast with questionable sanity and morality drawn together in a conflict of politics and ideologies: a young ninja disillusioned by his people's way of living, his lazy arch-nemesis struggling to build his love-life, and a bunch of sly politicians with hidden agenda.

Powerful drawing and engaging story line even better than Naruto, go read it right now.

 

[Bay K.W. Arde]

Today's recommendation:

Spoiler: It's not what you think.

The heroine, Akira, a 2nd year middle school student, lives on an island that being peaceful is its only feature.
Everyone in her class are her childhood friends. they were thinking that this year too like the other years would be a peaceful year with the usual classmates. But at a time like this a transfer student called “Matsushirou Nishigami” appears, “Anyone who gets close to me dies” such are his words.
What is the true meaning of his words…?!

A mystic, mystery and teenage detective plus a bit of RomCom drama mixed in. Stop browsing and read it right now.

 

[Bay K.W. Arde]

Kinda of late but today's recommendation will commence:

Spoiler: A challenger appear

The name of the manga is Momoiro Meloik. Yamato loves his little sister. His sister is the cutest and sweetest girl in the world, and he won't settle for second best. Unfortunately, everyday life and the rest of the world intrude on his idyllic plans, and he finds it's not as simple as he imagines it should be. Follow along with tough Yamato and cute Masaki as they deal with the problems of an otherwise normal family life.

Read it now.

 

[Bay K.W. Arde]

Recommendation time:

Spoiler: Fun things are fun

One of the many spin-off of Nanoha Franchise, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha INNOCENT. One of the fun things about the Lyrical Nanoha franchise is how the flexible Science Fantasy Multiverse setting allows it to dabble in practically any genre. INNOCENT is set in an Alternate Universe with neither magic nor alternate dimensions. All the characters are either ordinary humans on earth, or ordinary pets in the case of the familiars.

The story revolves around Brave Duel, a recently created card-based virtual simulation game jointly released by Hobby Shop T&H, House Yagami, and the Granz Research Center. Instead of magic battles, the characters duel with each other through the card game, hoping to win for the sake of their team.

Friendship, beam spam, cute magical girls. What's not to like? Go read it right now. Well, there's only like 2 and a half chapter translated but it still worth a read.

 

[Bay K.W. Arde]

A new chapter just got upped so today's recommendation is:

Spoiler: Badass loli is my staple food

Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge is an ongoing seinen action manga that debuted in 2009 written by Tatsuhiko Hikagi. Haimura Kiri is a seemingly ordinary boy with one slight problem: he is obsessed with cutting other people's hair. One day he meets Mushiyanokouji Iwai, the "Hair Queen" who cannot cut her hair because of an inherited curse. Kiri finds out that his scissor, "Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge" is the only thing that can cut them. It also turns out that Mushiyanokouji is being hunted by descendants of murderers who are trying to kill her (using cursed weapons passed down by their ancestors called "Killing Goods") so that they will get their wish granted. Now, Kiri has to protect Iwai from serial killers with these scissors.

I really like the way the author make the character blushing. In case you didn't know this manga also has anime that airing this season. For those who watch the anime you better wait till the anime finished and continue where the anime left out in case the manga translation surpassed the anime. I haven't watch the anime yet.

I think it's about to rain at my place so have a warm recommendation:

Spoiler: Something warm to read while it's raining

The name of the manga is Taiyou no Ie. “Back in the day, that place was a house filled with magic—a place where you ended up smiling even if you were crying. Surely, an invisible wizard must have lived there. Or so I thought.” What’s a young child to do when her mother leaves her father for another man? Or when her father remarries a woman who brings along a child from a previous marriage? Or when her childhood neighbor friend invites her to live with him?

Yeah, it's shoujo but I like story that involving family relationship and this one really hit it right in the guts. Stop browsing and read this manga now.

 

[Dhao]

Would love to, but can't seem to find the name in your post, making it rather difficult to find.

Life is beautiful, so this evening recommendation is:

Spoiler: Moment

Ikuru is a boy who doesn't have long to live. Growing up questioning the purpose of his life and the reason for his impending death, he's constantly confused and lonely. After learning that he doesn't have much time left, he requests that a special "girl" called a AGH-RMS (Artificial Genes Human Regenerated for Mental Support) be given to him. These people are genetically made so that they help heal and ease the mental burdens of the terminally ill.

All that aside, this is a wonderful manga series that will probably never get as wide an audience as it should, because of its seinen aspects, foremost of which is Ikuru and Ai consummating their relationship, among other, smaller things. This manga is cute, sad, and ultimately a story about life, death, and humanity.

This manga deliver a powerful view on how human should accept life and death. Just for warning, I cried while reading the last chapter of 4th volume and all along the final 5th volume. You better don't read it while waiting for bus.

The name of the manga is Ai Ren by Tanaka Yutaka

Finally fix some error on my PC while doing some indexing around my music archive.
Today's recommendation:

Spoiler: The morning after......

Gunjou Gakusha is an independent collection of short stories, The manga highlights the color that evokes faithful memories, tenderness, and melancholy. These stories take place in Japan and in the West, in the past and in the present. They may involve a romance in the city, an energizing walk in the forest, the daily mundane life of a waitress working in a cafe, or a medieval intrigue; but what connects these stories are the powerful messages they deliver.

It's a nice light manga with enganging stories, a must read for manga lover.

 

[Bay K.W. Arde]

Today's recommendation:

Spoiler: Just so you know he jumped from a helicopter to a skycrawler building

Japan is now the 51st state of the U.S.A., The isle of Neon, located near Japan, is the only place where prostitution and gambling are legal. There, Italian Mafia, Chinese Triad and Yakuza fight each other to gain the control of casinos and brothels. The story follows Kiyoshi and Douji as they work as the manager and security of Onsen Hotel in Neon Island.

It's full of action and there be blood so read this on private. The name of the manga is Black Joke (I still can't find any black joke in it).
