Personally-followed manga, under-the-radar for everyone else

Didn't really like the MC. He's kinda annoying. YMMV tho

Ooh,i think Sekai Maou is one of my favourite 4 komas now

why do most heroes in such manga RPG verses have similar designs btw?sword,crown with gem thingy,etc.is it a Shout-Out to something?

Dragon Quest maybe?

Yuusha Gojo and Tsuyokute New Saga are both monthly webcomics published by the same website. Maybe that site's authors have similar interests?

New Saga is a fun read. I hope the MC doesn't end up becoming the new Demon Lord for whatever reason.

seems like it,thanks!

Jitsu Wa 40 out!trope page time maybe ?

TRICK OR TREAT?

ah we got 41 too.shame no mention of why Aizawa's race is there too.also,dat reveal

Jitsu wa Watashi wa's characters... So cute. So dumb.

EDIT: I've made a sandbox for a potential Jitsu wa Watashi wa page. Gonna need feedback.

I jumped on the Jitsu Wa bandwagon. Really like the comedy and how everything develops. The author is a master at faces and reactions. I'll probably help with making the sandbox and then moving everything to the actual page.

I'm a bit sad that the translations are like four volumes behind, but with its current popularity, that probably won't be a problem for long.

… would it be spoilery to put Mobile-Suit Human (the class-rep) directly on the page? The policy forbids entirely white entries, but I'm not sure if it's revealed early enough to not be a problem…

(I have to continue for that matter, I'm still not very far…)

I didn't even know that sandbox function existed.

You can always put the trope and white out the explanation. Considering the kitchen-sink nature of the series, I don't think the fact that it exists is much of a spoiler.

I would suggest making a characther page, as I think most of the tropess would end up under charachers and it's a pain to do later.

I see… hum yeah, probably better to wait for a character page in this case.

Now that I think about it, the two MCs are called Kuromine and Shiragami… another series I'm following has the two MCs called Shiramine and Kurosawa (so white vs. black in both cases)… probably a coincidence, but I wonder if it's some kind of tropeable pattern if there are similar cases in other series…

Theme naming with a color basis, with a dash of contrast regarding the two main characters? I know Jitsu wa has other characters with color names...

Aren't those colours in particular relatively common as contrasts in names?

i think the colour names are related to the hair colours in Jitsu Wa?

though Shiragami's refers to her dad.

Yeah. Like Mikan is orange,(although I think it's the fruit)

I also think it extends to what they're wearing? At least, I'm pretty sure Shiho's default outfit is purple, thanks to a colour page.

...

...Yes, I'm reading Jitsu wa, too. Still not up to date, though.

Just noticed that futurekid and Mikan wore the same belt.

Anyway there's a romcom manga called Bocchi na Bokura no Renai Jijou. Copy of the description:

"When summer break ended, high-schooler Ichijou Hajime finds out that everyone in his class but him has gotten a girlfriend or a boyfriend! Hajime suddenly finds himself a loner but then Ninomiya Chitose transfers into his class...!?"

It's has only 9 chapter translated so far, though.

That one is pretty good, although it kinda seems to have reached a weird point. The Will They or Won't They? seems to have reached a point where it can't really continue without getting annoying, but it seemes like it would destroy the concept otherwise. We'll see I guess

Clockwork Planet: A grand adventure in a steam punk universe with pretty good art.

Mushoku Tensei: useless NEET is sucked into fantasy world. Interesting in that he starts over as a baby.

Mushoku Tensei is pretty awesome, Although apparently it skips some things from the LN. (Anyway the MC didn't really consider his fantasy world parents as his real parents, did he?)

Anyone heard of Super Doctor K? It basically stars Kenshiro AS A SUPERMEDIC!!

So, is there anyone here reading Immortal Hounds? I was thinking about making a page of it, but it might still be a bit early (12 chapters)…

Is non east-asian okay? 'Cause there's a mangaesque Indonesian-made comic book series called 'Garudayana Saga' which is pretty good. It was inspired by the Indonesian/Javanese version of the Mahabrata epic. It seems there's no english scanlations so far, so i intend to translate it myself when i have a free time.Can be found here(in Indonesian)

Also, there's a nice little oneshot called 'Aru Asa Okitara'. It's a Freaky Friday Flip story, which is also surprisingly heartwarming despite the shortness.

Another good one is 'REAL ACCOUNT'. Basically SAO except with Twitter-esque Social Network. Still 8 chapters scanlated.

Started reading Blue Heaven. The art is seriously◊ amazing◊, but that's to be expected of Tsutomu Takahashi. It seems like a pretty typical work of his: the story itself seems average, but it's the art and visual storytelling that give it weight. i know jiraishin has a decently filled out tropes page but the guy is seriously underrated considering how long he's been around and how amazing his art is.

Found a new gem: Lucifer no Migite.

Story is about a Japanese doctor that got kidnapped when doing some NGO stuff in Africa to provide medical treatment for anti government rebels. For two years.

He's a good (and competent) doctor, so he didn't have much beef with that. However, the government troops found their hideout-cum-medical facilities, and they didn't particularly picky about their target.

So the good doctor has no choice but to present the concept of agressive triage to them. With AK-47.

Naturally, the doctor didn't like it. At all.

And Katsumi Yu tattoed Lucifer's figure on his right arm as a reminder. And spending a year after back to Japan drowning his sorrows. Except that even if he didn't feel like doctor anymore, he still helping people left and right. That leading to series of event when he involved with underground clinic that provide treatments for people who didn't covered by national insurance... and Yakuza.

Hey, those medical tools won't pay for itself, unfortunately.

On the other side....

Is anyone willing to update the page of Tate No Yuusha No Nariagari?

Oh man, thanks for mentioning Real Account—I've heard the premise being described somewhere but I couldn't remember what the title was.

I'd describe it as Sword Art Online + Dangan Ronpa + Classroom of Truth meets Facebook. "Your followers die if you die" and "You die if you have no followers" was enough to get me hooked, and the Twitter-themed death games were very interesting to read as well.

it's just started being translated and currently at chapter 1,but Uchi no Maou Kamimasen seems very promising.It basically takes the character types from the classic RPG verse (demon lord,hero,etc) and basically has them act as pets.with powers intact.

so you get a Demon Lord acting like a puppy.

I got interested due to the weird premise. Didn't regret it. This adorable slice of life is exactly right up my alley. The entire Elephant in the Living Room aspects just made it 100x better.
