Regarding Franken Fran:

No. Just... No. I mean, not that I actively think it's bad, just waaaaaay to heavy on the Squick for me personally.

Is it really that bad? I know that it is heavy on the gorn and the squick, but then it is a horror. Is it really too much even for the horror genre? Because it seems to have a lot of notoriety, but it never seemed that bad to me.

Different people have different squick tolerance.

Hahahahahahaha.

Franken Fran is the best comedy ever. Anybody know if it's licensed for a US release? I'd really like to get the volumes of it.

People have different squick tolerance levels. Franken Fran is relatively normal for me. Because of this it's really something you have to try for yourself. I think it's hilarious and cute. In a morbid sort of way. God Fran is moe...

For some reason, for me, Franken Fran is more noticeably heartwarming then it is squick...although it might have to do with my high tolerance of squick...and since theres so few moments of heartwarming that the few that does happen sticks in my head.

I don't find the gore that bad, probably because of the style as they don't look all that realistic. This is speaking form someone who gets easily squicked out in real life by this kind of stuff.

I do agree this manga is hilarious though, especially its use of irony and Laser-Guided Karma, as well as complete deconstruction of popular clichés we often see in the media.

The funniest got to be the Pudding follow up story that poked fun at adaptation decay.

That said the chapter where everyone is "eating the guest of honor" and where the lady spy got turned into dog-human hybrid, that was disturbing.

The Pudding movie was hilarious. I love Veronica so bad.

Well, that was a disappointment. I expect better from Frank Fran. W Ell, maybe the next one will be better.

They are kind of foreshadowing a... conflict of sorts against things living deep in the sea. First the whale girl the Professor created, then the giants that live in the sea (that the Professor possibly created too) and now a brain that is Legion. I kinda want to add Gavrill but she lives above the sea.

Brain that is Legion? You mean that giant jelly fish thing? I....don't really understand that chapter one bit...

The thoughts of those kids are transferred to those tiny jelly fishes somehow...and then this giant one appears...and then this nun and her followers come in to kill lots of jelly fishes after killing the giant one.

The individual jellyfishes are more or less neurons and the brain is made of the conciousness of the drowned victims and God-knows-what else. The nun and the father don't really understand it but kill it anyways because that thing looked and talked evily as fuck anyways. There is foreshadowing that the conflict is far from over. Quite simple, really.

Also, "Your God is my fucktoy" is the best line ever.

New chapter

OK, that was a good chapter, but I'm really confused as to how Sentinel I turned regular-looking again and joined Sentinel II (who he'd only met once and that beat him up) in fighting Black Lotus.

Fran did some research, and ending up finding a way to turn him back normal?

Seriously, though, sometimes the author is a bit too creative in finding new ways to turn the grapes sour.

Franken Fran is great if you try to appreciate the satire and comedy, and try to ignore the squick. It's nice how the happy endings - of sorts, anyhow - generally come to the most selfless people, too. But there is some really disturbing stuff in there as well... That dog chapter kept me up all night e_e

Does the newest chapter mean there'll be some semblance of an ongoing plot now?

And would it kill Fran to find another cop to torture for a change?

Franken Fran is one of those mangas where you want to stop reading, but you can't. Or does that only happen to me?

When life gives you lemons, fill the juices up into squirt guns and shoot them at people's eyes.
