I have to admit that I really like this. Scary girl with heart of gold and wimpy looking guy, sure, it's a trope without a doubt. So what? There's only so many plots in the world (at least those worth writing about or reading) and it's all in how the author handles said plot or trope. I...

First read this on OneManga about ten years ago. I've read it about once every two years since, and I still break down each and every time. I never had a daughter (always wanted one, but no luck that way), but If I had, she would be the perfect one. This has to be the best thing that Kanno...

Several of the contributors here, three_eye_raven, Stoner, MeLikeChoco, and Korial, totally hit the nail on the head. This a real classic (and a masterpiece) as well as being beautiful and cruel. It presents the human condition, in all its beauty, pain, regret, heroism, and selflessness. It...

Well, Juniper, we've got some more. Here's hoping we get a whole mess of the end of this and the sequel. As a Kenji Mizoguchi fan, I really love this manga. My Lord, I wish I could read Japanese!

Just started this. A really good revenge isekai manga. So far, I like it better than the other one I read (including the light novel) the name of which escapes me, where the lady was in the dungeon making a fool of the crown prince. I think this one is better. The other had a heroine who was...

Heals my soul? I guess that Rennis_Tora is pretty on point with that comment. I've been reading this ever since I discovered manga online about fifteen years ago (was reading a very few select viz translations from amazon.com before that). I have pretty catholic (wide) taste in manga, in a...

I'm back to read it again. Nanige-san never gets old. It's just as fresh this time as the first who knows how many times.

Perhaps age gap is a trope that can become a fetish for some people or a total turn off for others, but it's a merely a fact of life. While I in no way condone the child brides of some cultures, where an eight year old is forced to marry a middle aged man, there is no necessity for a married or...

Finished, huh! I'm really going to miss my fix of Professor Munakata. He's been a staple of my manga consumption for a long while now.

This is a really nice read. Thanks to the mangaka and the scanlators for bringing it to us non-Japanese literate folks. Pleasant is the best word to describe reading it, but it seems inadequate. It's a great read and a royal lot of fun.

Folks at theElusiveTaco: Thanks for picking out some great manga to scanlate. I liked Nora to Zassou so much that I checked your page to find out your other titles, and fell in love with The Skinny Girl and the Chubby Boy. You really pick them well. (Also, the icing on the cake is your great...

I'm not Italian, although my father and I both grew up in Italian American neighborhoods, and like Uzaka said, "I've never seen such accurate depictions of Italians." I have to agree. I have known Italian Americans who were jerks, just as I've met jerks from nearly every ethnic group the...

GreekBust - A very pleasant read indeed. I, however, hope that the mangaka is enjoying him/her self by creating something just as enjoyable for us to read. Really, a very well-written and thought out story from start to finish, with comedy and a heavy dash of real character to make it more...

TSP - I want to thank one of my absolute favourite scanlation groups for picking up Otoyomegatari, now that it has been deserted by Duralumin. You folks certainly know how to pick 'em! You really set the bar high with your work on Taki Takanosuke no Sanpo Jikan, and going for Kaoru Mori's work...

Kodama Yuki has never come close to disappointing me. Her manga is some of the finest out there. I am really hoping that there is another of her wonderful stories waiting in the wings for our fearless and tireless scanlators to bring to monolingual idiots like me.

Same here. It's a great story, and a real pleasure to read. The scanlators do a great job with it as well, and I'm hoping that chapters will deluge us like the finish of Sakamichi no Apollon several years back.

Blast Comics Scans - Thanks so much for bringing us two chapters of Saijou no Meii. I've enjoyed this manga since the first chapter was posted on batoto (or it might have been onemanga, back in the day). At any rate, I thought the English translation was going to wither on the vine like...

Back in the Batoto days, I wrote long posts about shogi, sports, and music and how difficult it was to be a prodigy, and argued and agreed with PLG about all of those things. Now, I am just thinking about how wonderful and adorable Hina-chan is. It's almost as though I have been sucked into...

Best high school rom-com of them all. Tsujita Sensei Rocks with a capital/boldface R, which our peculiar comments setup will not allow me to show! Ennyhoo, I wrote pages and pages on the old Batoto site about this manga as it was being scanlated. Since it's all done now, I'll just say that...

Really cute. I have to admit that I really love Carol (even though Tomo's undoubtedly my favorite).
