Favorite Webcomic
(31 posts, 3795 views) Posted: over 10 years ago by CuthienSilmeriel in I'm Looking For...
I'm only just getting onto the webcomic scene so haven't read much yet, but I like Trace and Ability. I hear Tower of God is good, so that is going to be my next one. I am saving it for after my test next month as I have a tendency to forget little things like eating and ...

Gender Attributes..
(331 posts, 33516 views) Posted: over 10 years ago by CuthienSilmeriel in Chatter Box
Opposite gender: I like smiles, and big eyes. My ideal guy has black hair, ocean blue eyes, is athletically toned (not a body builder but not skin and bones either) and slightly effeminate features (clean shaven, baby faced guys). I would say the main this is the smile th...

New Poll - Protagonist
(20 posts, 3696 views) Posted: over 10 years ago by CuthienSilmeriel in News
I chose anti-hero even though it doesn't exactly fit because I like my protagonists a little dark, a little jaded, and a little angsty, but not down right evil, even if they do evil things. I'm a huge fan of the grey area, and having multi-faceted deep characters, so hone...

Supernaturals play "second part" in the story
(8 posts, 748 views) Posted: over 10 years ago by CuthienSilmeriel in I'm Looking For...
I second Fruits Basket
Also try Houkago Hokenshitsu - It isn't really supernatural, more a split between a nightmare world and the real world, but you may like it as the focus is on the relationships of the 3 main characters more than the nightmare world they visit. (Trust...

Pale Skin vs. Tanned
(19 posts, 3771 views) Posted: over 10 years ago by CuthienSilmeriel in Chatter Box
This is all very subjective and rather flawed. What do you consider tanned or pale? I'm British, but of Spanish descent, so by White standards I am naturally tanned. Now I live in Japan, however, and here I am complimented on my fair skin (Pale, white skin is generally a ...

(7 posts, 4447 views) Posted: over 10 years ago by CuthienSilmeriel in Chatter Box
I blitzed hiragana and katakana at the same time in about 3 weeks through intensive practice, but that was because I moved to Japan and needed to learn to read signs quickly. Convention states you should do hiragana first, then katakana, and then kanji. Do not rely on rom...

what makes a manga "cliche"
(9 posts, 1729 views) Posted: over 10 years ago by CuthienSilmeriel in Manga General
I call a mange cliche when it is generic. I don't mind manga having similar basic theme as as long as there is originality, but some manga are basically the same story but with different names. And I mean exactly the same; the plot line and the character's personalities. I...

Site Manga Poll Suggestions

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.

LF manga with character with dormant skills
(8 posts, 1059 views) Posted: over 10 years 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.

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 forseeable future

Any mature romance manga, which contains parental denial over couple's romance?
(5 posts, 1461 views) Posted: over 10 years 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.

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 and one...

Easily controlling dangerous entity
(10 posts, 1166 views) Posted: over 10 years 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.

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, see below.

There should be a "Whenever is best" option (though then everyone would pick this I guess).

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
