The best manga art I've seen, at least as far as ecchi goes. Hope CHuN hops on another project sometime soon

I can't help but read the title in an Eric Cartman voice every time I see this on the from page lol

While I normally pride myself on having less than zero interest in high school romance manga, this was pretty baller, I won't lie. It comes apart a little as it goes on, but aside from that this is the most moved I've been by a work of fiction in quite a while.

I never would have gleamed that she had a threesome because of a simple "they". I wonder if that clue was more overt in the original Japanese script. Pretty humdrum story overall, though there was enough drama and tension to hold my attention throughout. I'm a pretty big fan of this artist's...

I really enjoyed this. The contrast of the whimsical and beautiful locations against the abstract, overpowering struggles of the protagonists does a lot towards capturing a feeling of unrealised potential within these characters.

Of course I should have expected a tactless fetishy rape scene from a narrative that spent the previous 81 pages ogling and going completely bonkers over a character not wearing underpants. What was I thinking lol The conjecture about what happened to this series seems kinda baseless and dumb...

I've done my homework and am ready for an absolute shitshow. I'm as blind as a bat on what makes this series so infamous beyond the endless chapter 8, so needless to say I am strapped the fuck in for a bumpy ride to axe town

Hype chapter. I'm not sold on this series just yet, though I could just about come around to liking it.

Good manga. I'm firmly in the camp that prefers this interpretation of the story over the TV anime, especially with how much more well-defined Gendo is as a character. I imagine the 19-year serialisation allowed for Sadamoto to comfortably tell a revisionist version of the story that irons out...

Hope this makes a return sometime. I liked it.

Prophetic name for a chapter title lol

This is so unfathomably, unbelievably shit lmao

I liked this. The setting, characters and art direction all clicked with me. The only thing really dragging it down is the narrative - it isn't nearly as focused or as engaging as I feel it ought to be. The part where Sakurajima got a girlfriend should have been removed to make for more time to...

Big fan of this author's full-page landscape panels. I always have one of them set as my desktop wallpaper

I'd recommend 'She Doesn't Know Why She Lives' by Anu, if you haven't read it already. It doesn't hit the emotional highs that this series has and it ends on a similarly inconclusive note, though what I find it really succeeds at is capturing the feeling of malaise and directionlessness when...
