    Useless Ponko

    I'm enjoying this manga quite a lot. It reminds me more of Ms. Mayple's Afternoon Tea Time than it does of Ashinano Hitoshi's masterpiece. Japanese authors have definitely given us some really great and thought-provoking stories about artificial intelligence.

    Kimi to Boku wo Tsunagumono

    Well... I liked it. Simple and well done, with a minimum of embarrassing drama, which is all to the good in my opinion.

    Long Riders!

    Wow! No group seems to have gotten in on this. You folks ROCK! I'm really looking forward to this.

    Mahoromi - Jikuu Kenchiku Genshitan

    I'm definitely agreeing with the other members posting here. This is a really excellent read (not that I've come across a bad read from Toume Kei Sensei), and I would love to enjoy some more of it. Why is it that thoughtful and well-written manga are often abandoned partway through scanlation...

    Mizukami Satoshi Tanpenshuu - Vol. 4 Ch. 30 - Walking the Void

    Wow. I can only think of Dorothy Sayers comment on Dante, "God's body and bones! What a writer!" Not many writers, either prose or manga, can make pathos work.

    Himouto! Umaru-chan

    I have to say that I hesitated reading this for some time, as I dislike stories about people who are perfect in public, but rotten in private life. Nothing could be further from the truth. Umaru is as endearing (although fairly selfish) as all the other characters in this. It's totally...

    Harem☆Lodge

    I'm sorry that MangaDex doesn't have the english scanlation of Harem Lodge. I read it years ago and thought it was a warm and enjoyable story then. I decided to look it up again and had to read it on another site. It's definitely a nice read, and perfect medicine for overcoming a lousy week.

    The Stray and the Weeds

    Aside from comedy, romance, and sports, there are manga out there that tackle real issues that are crying out to be brought to the attention of people as a society. This is nothing new: Dean Swift wrote "A Modest Proposal" in the early 1700's to educate people about the plight of the Irish...

    Hitomi-chan Is Shy With Strangers

    I have to admit that I really like this. Scary girl with heart of gold and wimpy looking guy, sure, it's a trope without a doubt. So what? There's only so many plots in the world (at least those worth writing about or reading) and it's all in how the author handles said plot or trope. I...

    Hitori-tachi

    First read this on OneManga about ten years ago. I've read it about once every two years since, and I still break down each and every time. I never had a daughter (always wanted one, but no luck that way), but If I had, she would be the perfect one. This has to be the best thing that Kanno...

    Ai-Ren

    Several of the contributors here, three_eye_raven, Stoner, MeLikeChoco, and Korial, totally hit the nail on the head. This a real classic (and a masterpiece) as well as being beautiful and cruel. It presents the human condition, in all its beauty, pain, regret, heroism, and selflessness. It...

    Meiji Hiiro Kitan

    Well, Juniper, we've got some more. Here's hoping we get a whole mess of the end of this and the sequel. As a Kenji Mizoguchi fan, I really love this manga. My Lord, I wish I could read Japanese!

    IRIS - Lady with a Smartphone

    Just started this. A really good revenge isekai manga. So far, I like it better than the other one I read (including the light novel) the name of which escapes me, where the lady was in the dungeon making a fool of the crown prince. I think this one is better. The other had a heroine who was...

    Neko Musume Michikusa Nikki

    Heals my soul? I guess that Rennis_Tora is pretty on point with that comment. I've been reading this ever since I discovered manga online about fifteen years ago (was reading a very few select viz translations from amazon.com before that). I have pretty catholic (wide) taste in manga, in a...

    Tonari no Nanige-san

    I'm back to read it again. Nanige-san never gets old. It's just as fresh this time as the first who knows how many times.

    Futari no Renai Shoka

    Perhaps age gap is a trope that can become a fetish for some people or a total turn off for others, but it's a merely a fact of life. While I in no way condone the child brides of some cultures, where an eight year old is forced to marry a middle aged man, there is no necessity for a married or...

    The Case Records of Professor Munakata

    Finished, huh! I'm really going to miss my fix of Professor Munakata. He's been a staple of my manga consumption for a long while now.

    Mikakunin de Shinkoukei

    This is a really nice read. Thanks to the mangaka and the scanlators for bringing it to us non-Japanese literate folks. Pleasant is the best word to describe reading it, but it seems inadequate. It's a great read and a royal lot of fun.

    TheElusiveTaco

    Folks at theElusiveTaco: Thanks for picking out some great manga to scanlate. I liked Nora to Zassou so much that I checked your page to find out your other titles, and fell in love with The Skinny Girl and the Chubby Boy. You really pick them well. (Also, the icing on the cake is your great...

    The Skinny Girl and the Chubby Boy

    I'm not Italian, although my father and I both grew up in Italian American neighborhoods, and like Uzaka said, "I've never seen such accurate depictions of Italians." I have to agree. I have known Italian Americans who were jerks, just as I've met jerks from nearly every ethnic group the...
