Site Manga Poll Suggestions
(1709 posts, 339568 views) Posted: 4d 1h, 35m ago by CuthienSilmeriel in Manga General
I know there has been a few chatterbox age polls, but the recent 'last 5 years' site polls has me wondering about the average age of MU users so I was wondering if we could have a more official site poll since they tend to get more votes.
I guess a g ...

LF manga with character with dormant skills
(8 posts, 367 views) Posted: 9d 22h, 59m ago by CuthienSilmeriel in I'm Looking For...
I second (third?) Ability.
Also 07 Ghost
E's
Psychic Academy
Nabari no ou
That's all I can think of, and I'm not sure any of them can be considered martial arts based tbh, sorry, but they all involve a MC with a dormant power.

Manga where the guy/girl... (may contain spoilers)
(8 posts, 642 views) Posted: 13d 1h, 6m ago by CuthienSilmeriel in I'm Looking For...
Quote from Aremon Ok, I'm gonna check most of these out. Most likely not Skip Beat, 32 volumes and no end in sight... A bit long for me. Don't get me wrong, I LIKE long reads, but I want to know that there will be some sort of ending at least in the forse ...

Any mature romance manga, which contains parental denial over couple's romance?
(5 posts, 362 views) Posted: 13d 20h, 33m ago by CuthienSilmeriel in I'm Looking For...
I second both Angel Sanctuary and Let Dai
Also try
Boku no hatsukoi wo kimi ni sasagu
Fruits Basket -Maybe to a degree, though the female doesn't have parents and the 2 males come from a strange family, so it is more like a guardian protesting.

Manga where the guy/girl... (may contain spoilers)
(8 posts, 642 views) Posted: 15d 22h, 14m ago by CuthienSilmeriel in I'm Looking For...
Skip Beat - Still ongoing, but scans come out soon after the Japanese release and it is really good.
Are you enemy? - It is a yaoi, but not a hardcore porn without plot one. Not sure you can consider this complete since Miyamoto Kano seems to just add short stories ...

Easily controlling dangerous entity
(10 posts, 538 views) Posted: 27d 21h, 26m ago by CuthienSilmeriel in I'm Looking For...
07 Ghost - The most obvious example is Teito controlling a god, but there is controlling of dangerous entities going on all over the place in this.
Kuroshitsuji - Ciel controls a demon.
Chronicles of the Cursed Sword - Multiple powerful and sentient swords are in this.
Pa ...

Trace Can someone tell me what happens to...(spoil me)
(1 posts, 62 views) Posted: 28d 2h, 26m ago by CuthienSilmeriel in Trace
I really recommend you go back and read it, it gets really interesting as everything starts to come together and you understand why there was so much jumping around from character to character in the first place. However, if you are sure you want the spoiler, s ...

New Poll - Death of the MC
(35 posts, 982 views) Posted: 32d 3h, 42m ago by CuthienSilmeriel in News
There should be a "Whenever is best" option (though then everyone would pick this I guess).
There was a study which showed that many people prefer to know the ending of a story before they start (so they read the last few pages or prefer stories w ...

online reader hate
(42 posts, 2119 views) Posted: 32d 22h, 49m ago by CuthienSilmeriel in Manga General
Most online readers are run by big companies who use the hard work of scanlators to make money. They get paid per hit on the site by advertising companies, so don't respect the wishes of scanlators who would rather not have their scans on big online re ...

New Poll - The Waiting Game
(25 posts, 467 views) Posted: 39d 3h, 45m ago by CuthienSilmeriel in News
If it is a series I really enjoy/think has good potential, I will usually buy/find raws and attempt to read it in Japanese. My Japanese sucks though, so this takes me ages as I am constantly looking up words or grammar points, therefore I only do this for series I love, or ...

A Manhwa involving a homeless kid and a young man
(8 posts, 403 views) Posted: 49d 0h, 52m ago by CuthienSilmeriel in I'm Looking For...
It isn't Loveless, I can tell you that much, but it isn't ringing any bells either. Have you tried doing an advanced search using the category tags? There isn't one for manhwa, but maybe you can find it through other categories. ...

New Poll - Translation Accuracy vs Fluency
(56 posts, 1706 views) Posted: 53d 3h, 20m ago by CuthienSilmeriel in News
Ideally there should be both. Translations should strive to be as accurate as possible, but an accurate translation is still a poor one if it lacks fluency. Something are just not translatable, and to attempt to do so will only succeed it altering the author's meaning, ...

a long manga with good story
(20 posts, 2257 views) Posted: 64d 19h, 53m ago by CuthienSilmeriel in I'm Looking For...
There are so many on here I could second it would take too long to mention them all.
I want to add
Banana Fish - Probably the best manga ever. 19 volume, brilliant plot, great characters and perfect ending. Don't let the art put you off, this is a gem.
07 Ghost - S ...

New Poll - Manga and Real-Life Friends
(26 posts, 901 views) Posted: 66d 7h, 36m ago by CuthienSilmeriel in News
Me and my friend have differing tastes, so sometimes there is overlap, but usually not. Plus she much prefers anime whereas I barely find time to watch anime between all my manga, so we rarely, if ever, discuss it. ...

Manga about broken/failed to be realized dream?
(5 posts, 276 views) Posted: 71d 20h, 27m ago by CuthienSilmeriel in I'm Looking For...
Skip Beat to a degree. The dream is broken right at the start and the rest is about revenge and bouncing back.
Let Dai - Maybe, it probably more about growing up and finding yourself than anything tbh, but I guess the end of childhood can be considered the breaking ...

New Poll - Living in Japan
(44 posts, 1701 views) Posted: 74d 4h, 1m ago by CuthienSilmeriel in News
I already live in Japan. I've been here 3 years and I love it. I came without speaking any Japanese at all, and live in the inaka, so there is little reason for people here to learn English. Still, everyone is really patient with me, really understanding, and very very kin ...

Everyone around the MC always dies
(12 posts, 672 views) Posted: 77d 19h, 35m ago by CuthienSilmeriel in I'm Looking For...
hmmm, not sure how well these match because there are lasting companions from fairly early on, but
07 Ghost -Teito loses the vast majority of the people he loves and ends up a slave, but the manga starts at this point and the losses are shown as flashbacks. Spo ...

Want to Start a Group with a great purpose
(6 posts, 485 views) Posted: 97d 2h, 23m ago by CuthienSilmeriel in Recruitment
Lemon Tea Scans is a group which works exclusively on dropped manga. I know they could use the help if you're interested. It would be easier to join an established group than it would be to start a new one. http://lemonteascans.wordpress.com/. ...

intelligent use of power
(20 posts, 2739 views) Posted: 98d 23h, 52m ago by CuthienSilmeriel in I'm Looking For...
Death Note is the obvious choice.
Full Metal Alchemist is another obvious choice.
Banana Fish. Ok, so there's not actual super powers involved, but this is a great manga for complex power plays and intelligent strategies as opposed to just going into a fight g ...
