Off-topic but anything NTR-like always gets me hating manga... Urgh! Anyone got a manga I can read to get this off my mind?

I don't think anyone has answered you yet, so let me do it:

1. Boku no Hero Academia which is a fairly new shounen manga released in Shounen Jump. Very comicbased and reminds me of Naruto (but not the negative aspects). This is a synopsis:

Boku no Hero Academia synopsis

People are not born equal, a realization that 4-year old Izuku Midoriya faced when bullied by his classmates who had unique special powers. Midoriya wasone of the rare cases where he was born with absolutely no unique powers. This did not stop Midoriya from pursuing his dream, a dream of becoming a great hero like the legendary All Might. To become the great hero he hopelessly wants to become, he now will join the ranks of one of the highest rated "Hero Academies" in the country: Yuuei. With the help of his idol All Might, will he be able to claim the ranks and become a true hero?

 

 

2. Fullmetal Alchemist is a manga I haven't read yet, but I want to give a try in the future. It's already finished and only 28 volumes I believe. My brother is watching the anime to it right now, and it seems to be very good. It's considered a critical acclaimed manga.

Fullmetal Alchemist Synopsis

http://en.wikipedia....metal_Alchemist

 

Edward and Alphonse Elric are alchemist brothers searching for the legendary catalyst called the Philosopher's Stone, a powerful object which would allow them to recover their bodies. The brothers were born in a village called Resembool in the country of Amestris (アメストリス Amesutorisu^?), where they lived with their mother Trisha. Their father, Van Hohenheim, left home for unknown reasons and a year later, Trisha died of a terminal illness. After their mother's death, the brothers ask a woman named Izumi Curtis to teach them more alchemy, an advanced science in which objects can be created from raw materials, as Edward was determined to bring her back to life using alchemy. Edward and Alphonse research human transmutation—a forbidden taboo in which one attempts to create or modify a human being. Their attempt to bring back their mother fails and results in the loss of Edward's left leg and Alphonse's entire body. However, Edward manages to save his brother's soul by sacrificing his right arm to affix Alphonse's soul to a suit of armor. A few days later, an alchemist named Roy Mustang visits the Elric brothers and proposes that Edward become a member of the State Military of Amestris in exchange for more research materials to find a way to recover their bodies. After that, Edward's left leg and right arm are replaced with automail, a type of advanced prosthetic limb, built for him by his friend Winry Rockbell and her grandmother Pinako.

Edward then becomes a State Alchemist (国家錬金術師 Kokka Renkinjutsushi^?), an alchemist employed by the State Military of Amestris, which has annihilated most of the Ishbalan race in the past decade. Edward's role allows him to use the extensive resources available to other State Alchemists. The brothers set off in search of the philosopher's stone as a means to restore their bodies back to their original forms. Throughout their journey, they meet allies and enemies—including those who are desperate to obtain the philosopher's stone. The brothers meet Scar—one of the few surviving Ishbalans who seeks vengeance on the State Alchemists for the destruction of his race, and the homunculi—a group of human-like creatures whose core is a philosopher's stone and derive from it the ability to survive any harm until the stone runs out of souls.

As the story progresses, Edward and Alphonse discover that the vast expansion of Amestris was the result of the homunculi, who created and secretly control the State Military. The homunculi and many high-ranking military officers are commanded in secret by the creator of the homunculi, a man known as "Father." Father, who gained immortality through a philosopher's stone, plans to use Amestris as a gigantic transmutation circle to transmute the entire country. When Edward and Alphonse discover Father's plans, they and other members of the State Military set out to defeat him. The Northern "Briggs" Army invades Amestris's capital Central City, and comes into conflict with the Central forces.

As the forces collide, the remaining homunculi are defeated and Central City's troops learn the truth of the situation. Father tries to transmute Amestris to gain god-like powers but Hohenheim stops him. After Father is defeated by Edward with his original arm, which Alphonse has brought back by at the cost of his soul, Edward returns Alphonse to his original body, sacrificing his ability to use alchemy in the process. The Elrics return to Resembool, but two years later, they separate to repay the people who helped them during their journey.

 

3. Tokyo Ghoul if you don't mind gory and dark stuff. It's similar to AoT and considered a seinen manga. There are some people in here who already have given Tokyo Ghoul a try or want to in the future. I myself have finally caught up with the manga:

Tokyo Ghoul synopsis

I don't really wanna give you the link to the entire synopsis b/c I would spoiler you

 

The story of Tokyo Ghoul follows Ken Kaneki, who barely survives a deadly encounter with Rize Kamishiro, a woman who is revealed to be a ghoul, a human-like creature that hunts and devours human flesh, and is taken to the hospital in critical condition. After recovering, Kaneki discovers that somehow he underwent a surgery that transformed him into a half-ghoul, and just like them, must consume human flesh to survive as well. With no one else to turn to, he is taken in by the ghouls who manage the coffee shop "Anteiku", who teach him to deal with his new life as a half-human/half-ghoul, including interacting with ghoul society and its conflicting factions, while striving to keep his identity secret from other humans.^[2]

[Decius23]

So, what's the situation here? I was too engrossed in the Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei novels and mangas/anime to notice anything naruto-related...

[trang95]

Yes.

 

I'm so glad to hear this.

Oh nothing. Just me reading one of ladygt work and now I keep feeling joy but then rage remembering the reality. Oh and it's confirmed that Junko told Kishi to shut it.

Btw, what was takl's transaltion?

Well, that ending fight was something else. Lol. But FMA ended where it needed to be and it flowed really well. People begged for more but she moved on. That's what I called mission complete.

[luffyq1]

it's ok, i got someone who will personally take care of kishi.

 

*cough* junko *cough

My Christmas Wish:

My Christmas Wish :

 

Please Dear Santa!!! Give Kikitten Eternal Hemorrhoids  so he can never sit on his ass and write again  .

 

Sacrificing one Christmas wish for this  is worth it  you all know it . 

 

LOL men I should really start watching this show   .

Yeah. LMAO. Mhmm, that's true. It did have one of the most satisfying ending one could have. Beelzebub did leave me wanting more but at least Tamura still publishes special chapters every now and then.

i saw a fan tweeted that junko helped Chie's emcee greatly, caring for kish for he is still not used to speak in front of a large number of people.

when junko saw chie in a flurry as she had to move the show to the next subject although kish was still talking, she said 'sensei, now about time to leave this topic!' on the behalf of chie and then let chie continue to feemcee.

id imagine the tweet got poorly translated and spreaded by vulnerable peoples

 

 

This is what the Biased Otaku said    " poorly translated by vulnerable people " 

 

YEAH ABOUT THAT

Well, his credibility dropped a lot. Not so well for being a heel now, TakL.

[NaruSaku fan in Kentucky]

My Christmas list is for LadyGT to buy the rights to Naruto so that she can make the true ending and make Naruto the best father since Goofy on A Goofy Movie. I brt they would be pals.

I seriously hate Takl so much. What are his words considered as among our fandom? That of a freaking God?

[Michi]

I barely heard about this TakL guy ... Like 1(2?) month ago?

Anyways, his true colors were shown recently. I know the majority of the fans won't believe his translations. Because, biased pig head.

By us he's a piece of otaku kitten  for NH/SS after he came out from his shell with his sexist comments and revealed his NH bias yes for them he's a god  . Neutral my ass  what a hypocrite but then again their fandom consists of hypocrites ,sexists and illiterate people .

Either way Takl's credibility  is gone for good  he still refuse to translate the Pity part about NH LOL .

[Nar123]

Someone needs expose Takl bias back at NF
