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

It came up a few pages back. I saw a few chapters and liked it but neglected to continue but did enjoy it. I think I got up to the chapter where they tried to go to the movies.

Looked at Boku to Rune to Aoarashi and really liked it, too.

Note that "kokurasetai" literally means "wants to make you confess to her", which is more fitting.

The premise does sound pretty funny. I might take a look at it.

Meanwhile, Kasane (volume 3) is becoming horribly captivating, and Area 51 (volume 5) was pretty fucked up but still awesome.

Kanojo ni Naru Hi & Kanojo ni Naru Hi Another.

In the first, the protagonist's best friend is somebody he can never beat at anything, but one day after their latest contest his friend falls ill and when he returns to school he's a she. Because that's how human biology works in this world: if there are too many males for the number of females, some of them turn female. Usually this happens in childhood, rarely as teenager. Cue inevitable love story as the two re-evaluate their relationship. The series seems to have been cancelled and uncancelled at some point, getting a rather forced "ending" with chapter 5 before restarting in chapter 6.

Another is set some time after, with different characters but cameos by the other series' characters and stars a girlish looking boy who turns into a girl but has troubles adjusting to it.

Both series are ...interesting... rather than good.

Yeah, Kasane is somewhat unusual. And interesting. Somewhat dark.

By the way, if you're keeping score in Kaguya Wants To Be Confessed To, it's -6 for Kaguya, -5 for Shirogane, -1 for Fujiwara, and 1 for Japan. I don't think they're very good at what they're trying to do. Also, Fujiwara best girl. Not that there's much competition. And the French speaking thing was silly. Especially the insult bit. His reaction is far more appropriate than what they expected, even if he had understood it.

Check out my fanfiction!

Each new chapter keeps convincing me that "Fujiwara is the true mastermind" theory is true.

x3 In other words, they're kind of like clownfish.

Give the God Eater game thread some love!

The first chapter makes that exact comparison during the Setting Explanation.

@mwisse: I shouldn't but I love both of them so much. They can be bewilderingly stupid (Another, in particulr, reveals the tragic backstory of the MC, and it's hysterical intead of heavy), but vanilla-ass gender bender romance is surprisingly rare. I'm grabbing on to the embers of that goddamn flame.

I made the page for Kaguya Wants To Be Confessed To, by the way.

Check out my fanfiction!

Speaking of pages, is creating a redirect from Ano Ko ni Kisu to Shirayuri wo to Ano Ko ni Kiss to Shirayuri wo allowed or does it count as misspelling?

Flippé de participer à ce grand souper, je veux juste m'occuper de taper mon propre tempo.

That depends. If the "misspelling" is so widespread that it requires clarification (and maybe a bonfire of two), then redirect is in order.

Also, what the status about Ume Aoki 's Mudou No Makogawa ? Is it get licensed, or what? Since last scanlation is about more than 2 years ago....

The plot is basically a fluff Slice of Life about girl who miss her first week on new school thanks to mumps. Then she Got Volunteered into Class Rep (because nobody wants to do extra work). Then her first (guy) friend in school (who also Got Volunteered; that's how they meet) find out her secret. Basically, she's weaker version of Haruka Kotoura who have tactile-based Mind Reading, and got very lucky streak when she ends up with family that actually cares (or she hid it better).

Any of you guys ever heard of Poor Poor Lips? It's a slice of life about a poor girl who goes to work in a jewelry stone. She meets the owner and then finds out that she's a lesbian. A sort of romance develops between the two of them. I followed this for a while. It's good stuff.

EDIT B/C I MISREAD AT FIRST: I might take that to Ask The Tropers. My first instinct was to say migrate over to the properly spelled one (Kisu to Kiss) and turn Kisu into the redirect. Alternatively, if there's an official English title (doesn't seem to be) use that instead.

I've read much of Poor Poor Lips and definitely enjoyed it.

Thank you. Poor Poor Lips is sweet as candy.

Can somebody recommend me a good, funny, preferably not moe, slice-of-life school manga?

Dead Dead Demon's Dededededestruction might be what you're looking for albeit it might be stretching it a little.

Does Daily Lives of High School Boys count as moe…?

Ah yeah, Jitsu wa, how did I forget that one. Although it has Karen, who's as moe as can be.

Can you specify what counts as moe? Does it only include cute girls doing cute things, or does it include anything else cute?

Anyways, some stuff I know off my head, which may or may not belong in the thread:

• Sket Dance. Quite long, but it already ends. About a group of high-schoolers who belong in a club to help people. Relies heavily on Boke and Tsukkomi Routine, so you may not like it of you don't like that stuff.
• Jitsu wa Watashi wa. Surprised Lyendith didn't mention this first . A boy falls in love with a girl, but finds out she's a vampire, and that she needs to keep her secret. It's harem, but much more geared towards absurd comedy. Also, pretty much no fanservice, which is rare for a harem. Lots and lots of reaction faces.
• Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun. A girl falls in love with a boy, but turns out he's a shoujo mangaka and mistook her confession for request to be his assistant. A parody of shoujo manga in general, but not limited to it.
• Yandere Kanojo. A normal high school boy starts dating the most infamous delinquent girl in the school. Hijinks ensue. The girl starts out as a tsundere, but pretty much drops the act after 3 chapters or so. Also, the "yandere" stands for "Yankee" + "dere", not the usual yandere.
• Gakuen Babysitters. A boy has to work as the babysitter in a school's nursery for the teachers' kids. Lost of cute toddlers doing cute things. And cute teenagers. And cute parents, too. Basically, everything's cute.
• Ojojojo. A haughty The Ojou meets a quiet expressionless boy, and starts spending time together due to both being friendless. I like it because it subverts a lot of annoying romance tropes, and the character developments are apparent. The artstyle might be too "moe" though,
• Kaguya Wants To Be Confessed To. I just mentioned this less than one page ago. Two Teen Genius fall for each other, but being too proud to confess, they started a battle of wits and manipulation to make the other confess first.

Tanaka-kun is always listless, maybe? It's hard to find SOL school manga that aren't drawn in a somewhat cutesey style.

Try Junji Ito's Cat Diary: Yon & Mu. [run away]

thanks guys, these look interesting

I think I just found something with potential. It's called Suki × Suki and it looks to be new (just a one-shot pilot and two chapters so far as I can see). The kanji used for each Suki respectively are "like" and "transparency".

The main character is Touka Aizuki, who has the power to turn invisible. The first thing we see her doing with it on screen? Hangout in the classroom the boys are using to change for gym class to watch her crush change.

She mainly uses her power to be close to Ryoutaro, the boy she has a crush on but is too Tsundere to speak to normally. She lets the deredere out in full when she's invisible.

What Touka doesn't realize is there is one person who can see her while she's doing all this: Ryoutaro, who decides not to tell her to spare her the embarrassment of knowing he's seen everything she's done while invisible.

tl;dr - main girl can become invisible and uses that to perv out on the boy she likes, oblivious to the fact he's the one person who sees everything she's doing.

Despite that description, the series has (so far) not been ecchi or fanservicey.

Sounds kind of similar to Fragtime.

Give the God Eater game thread some love!

It does, though not sure where it might differ in execution besides Suki's lead being unaware her crush is immune where suggests that's not the case there. EDIT: seems the biggest difference execution of Suki X Suki is pure Played for Laughs.

Actually, when she gets her power, the first thing Touka does upon getting over the initial confusion and realizing she is actually invisible is peek at a classmate's panties. Wonder of its a Shout-Out
