In this thread we mix up the synopsis of a manga's plot with a different manga title, which sounds like it might be about the same thing. I'll start with an example.
Mai-chan's Daily Life is about the exploits of a cheerful young girl with green hair, living together with her adoptive father and often playing with the four girls next door. It is a heart-warming tale of childhood and will certainly put a smile on your face.
Welcome to the NHK is about an aspiring young female journalist and her struggle to expose corruption at the highest level of the Japanese government.
Densha Otoko is a travel manga describing the trips the mangaka takes together with a guy who has travelled every railway station in Japan.
Kanon is about the relationships between a couple of talented students at a classical music college.
Yotsubato Ch 38. Looking away is dangerous.
The World God Only Knows 1-8.
Katsuragi Keima is known on the net as the god of getting the girls while in real life he’s known as otamegane and he hates all real girls. However he is approached by Erushii, a devil from hell, to help her in catching runaway spirits that hide in people. Apparently the spirits only hide in the hearts of girls and the only way to get the souls out is by making the girl fall in love so the spirit gets forced out. And he’s not allowed to fail or he will lose his head.
Love monster 81.
No ai kora updates for ages.. On the upside, we had a usagi drop update, a beauty pop update and a few others.. though not that many.
Agree with the awesomeness of Fruits basket. I finally found a copy of V. 17 in my local store.
The world god only knows is also awesome. I can't believe he can beat so many love sims at once.
The World God Only Knows 9
Woohoo! "I can already see the Ending!"
Beast master 7!
I'm so happy there was an extra chapter. It made my day finding out it was not entirely completed.
Also, volume 1 of Genshiken finally arrived in the post. I want to get the volume in which Kusakabe cosplays.. because that moment was so cool!

Shinobuden volume 3. High-larious.
Is it really only 4 volumes long? ;_;
Also, GET!
Ai kora and liar game updates.
Mahoromatic chapter 5. Re-reading it in the original Japanese.
Ouran high school 62(!!!!)
After almost two months wait, it finally came out.
Hikaru's so awesome. I feel sympathetic towards him. And I want to bang Tamaki's head hard against a wall.
I'll start.
I've had quite a few ideas for comics/manga in my time, but I've always been too lazy to do anything about them. These are free to use if you want to, and if you want I'll supply more plot/plans for any of them. For most of these I had fleshed them out more than just the summary.
I guess a few of these would also make good web comics.
Oh, this thread sounds fun! I'll do a one-shot plot right now...~
There was once a girl(let's give her the name... Masami) who was very introverted and never had a crush before. She had only one best friend, and they weren't even THAT close. On the first day of 11th grade, due to schedule mishaps, her class was switched with another's and she ended up in the classroom next door (bye bye, class with best friend...).
The teacher placed her in a seat next to a guy with bleached orange hair. He had a beanie cap on with earphones sticking out of his school uniform's coat. He looked experienced in secretly listening to music during a class lecture. This was just some other guy who looked like everyone else, following the same bleached hair style and the rebel earphone hiding... he probably smoked too. Masami glanced at him for a second, and their eyes met, but she took no heart to it and sat down unabashed. "The type of guy I hate the most... He looks like a flunker, he's just another groupie." but she couldn't help but blush at his rather good looks. "damn him! I don't like him!"
aaand well it's getting long but ill stop here :3
this is one ive been thinking about starting but idk...
ok. its the year 5060, in a mecha region called 'Aurulious'. Aurulious is one of the world's most complex machine creaters. Anyway, the main character is named Aia, and she's the daughter of the deceased detective Baer(who's a very well-known detective). 9 yrs b4 the story starts, it talks about the defective machine that was originally built to protect aurulious, when instead it malfunctioned and turned against aurulious, killing thousands of people. Because the aurulion's didnt want any outside forces to destroy the machine, they used the most complex technology, making the machine near invincible. It took 5 years, but soon the amchine was defeated and stored in a chronic time chamber.
Now, back to the present day, the government, also called the Aurulion Senate, has thought about reviving the defective machine for use in a upcoming war with Rega, another region, but mostly dependant on the elements and nature. They soon nix the idea, because they don't want the machine to malfunction again and take anymore lives. Anyway one of the senate members, a male named Sarsia(also Aia's fiance) has a fight with the rest of the senate members to revive the machine, and kills them.
I'm actually writing my own manga at the moment i'm still trying to find a name for it though, I'm thinking along the lines of Neon Tokyo or Rainbow Night Wand: Perfect Harmony.
It's about a girl who was at school one day and encountered a somewhat mythical creature called a Midnight Samari Slayer (I don't think i spelt that write lol. But you get the idea). They are much like little minature vampire goblin things. Anyway The MSS (Midnight Samari Slayer) Get's the girl and and knocks her in the head with a dream slayer wand. She wakes up to find herself in the school's sickbay where she sees her best friend staring at her as if something was wrong. Something was wrong. The girls best friend explained to her that she had an MSS pendant on the neck and was holding Rainbow night wand. The MSS must have given her mystical powers. Her bestfriend later admits to her that she also got slayed by an MSS a few years ago and has now possessed supernatural powers, she holds the dragon of the moon wand and is always out on mystical journeys. The MSS's are not actually evil! They just are out finding the 6 girls that will help them save the world from the mythical darkness dream eaters. They try to take away all of the worlds nightmares and rule the world and make those nightmares all become true for the whole world. What people have not realized is that their nightmares are only in their heads and they keep the world going strong. But if those nightmares are ever released everyone is doomed. They have to find the other 3 girls that will help conquer the MDE's(mythical dream eaters).
They will each have a wand and a pendant which holds in it a little pet that alerts them of missions and is just an all round friend. The girls also have MDE nets which will help get the smaller MDE's that cause less harm. The girls each get stuck with problems affecting their lives and their loved ones.
eh em..
Continueing on..It god damn cut me off GRR
The MDE nets are released when they wave their wands in a circle and say: MDE NET PERFECT HARMONY...RELEASE!

i'm actually going to turn this into a manga so pls...no stealing the idea. :)
Hiide Izawa is a normal,17 year-old girl, that just so happens to be the shy, soft spoken, smart girl in class. but beneath all that lies something more. little does anyone know that Hiide is also the famous "Dr. Cupid" the blunt,and in-your-face, love advice giver that sees her love-sappy patients on a regular basis and occassionally does a radio chat or a t.v interview. you'd think that would all be well and good getting people the love of their lives to fall for them...except...poor Hiide's been single for her whole 17 years, simply for the fact that she lacks the courage to say what she wants (though her mind speaks quite often) and tends to lack the common sense to realize when a boy likes her.
and thats just the half of it. apparently picking the name "Dr. cupid" wasn't the best because a Gwageth anoon (welsh water fairy that occassionally take humans for husbands) which just so happens to be the queen of her realm realizes one of her kind would not be good for her halfling son, so she sets him out to the human world where he stupidly sets his sights on the most popular girl in Hiide's school and just so happens to see a billboard of "dr. cupid". thinking this will help him he sets off to find the so called "cupid". now its up to Hiide to both babysit, and work her magic on the stubborn self-centered fairy prince that knows nothing of the human world and is completely hopless in love.
how bout a guy who got sick of the world he's living in then one day decided to hire a moving house truck went to akiba and mowed people off the pavement, alighted from his truck and cut the remaining civilians in site. he got jailed awaiting his judgment.. and.. andd, andd.. .....AND... AND!.. in his prison cell, lo and behold, the LIFE NOTE! he summoned from the dead all the people he slaughtered that very day with the help of crows as guardians. then here they come wearing clown-like scribblings on their face to the rescue our protagonist from the long hand of the law. he came out clean with the help of the note. then he started yelling out "rise from your grave!" ala-alter beast cameo performance. then all the victims killed by his cellmates one by one arose from death.. then they did a carmel-san dance and we're happy..
based on true story.. this is copyrighted as well, dare if you dare..
Oh and another thing i'm sorry for being so very serious about

Well I think that...nvm its stupid.

Post more info stuff about other manga adaptions if you can!
hey i heard online there doing the drama as a manga is this true................. please tell me
ok so
all we need is
1 badguy who molest a kawaiilol girl on a train
1 hero to push the drunk on his ass
so
...
2 friends could pull this off
to be sure the [hero] gets a girl
they could repeat it like 5-10 times a night
maybe this works better in japan were females are WeAk
a western girl would...scream,kick,hit,spray the drunk who touch them lol
www.onemanga.com has the entire manga online.
It was interesting reading the actual threads from 2ch, but I couldn't help but think that the end was a little fake. I wonder if it actually ended badly and densha fabricated the ending.
I dun wanna think abt this possibility , at least , for densha otoko , a happy ending , he is like a example for all otakus ;___________; ( in my case an otome )
>>49
Yeah i've read it and this is great (the manga)
Dunno what to think about these threads, i didn't read all those 'cause it was long to read but... maybe it really end up bad :( hope not ...
>>50
I get what you mean. The ending really appeals to me but I've read lots of shoujo manga and I can't help but think it was a very 'shoujo' moment...to the point that it seemed unreal and rather fabricated...
Still, as it is a manga version, the end may have been more exaggerated for effect.
>>46
srsly, I think the same.
you HAVE to BUY manga.
where can i download a free volume 3 of densha otoko? please help me! headhunter_bloodsting@yahoo.com is my mail...
buy the shit and support densha's love, er writer
here is volume 3 of densha otoko in direct download i hope you enjoy
Congrats Rumiko!
No it didn't, After the summer we get a Super Special and there are talks about a spin off
Where did you hear that?!
>>1
Woooo......she must be had a tiring time doing that! ^^
Seriously! Ongoing since 1997!!
>>2 I really doubt there is going to a spinn off. On the last page, it says look out for Rumiko's NEXT work...
Inuyasha is ended.
There are a lot of ongoing, never-ending series that still remain entertaining. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and Hajime no Ippo come to mind. But Inuyasha was just painful.
Has anyone read this manga yet? It's by Hiro Mashima, and some people on One Piece forums have been commenting on how the art style and a couple of the characters' personalities are reminiscent of One Piece.

Personally, I don't think it's that much of a One Piece ripoff. The premise is different enough...
Im japanese.
But Idont know Japanese manga writers name as many as you.
WHERE do you buy manga?
AND are there japanese manga in ordinary bookstore?
Salamander obviously has the flare flare fruit.
Both are good manga so theres nothing wrong with similarities.
i've been readin it. and its not so bad. in fact i like it.
so its similar. its still a decent series.
I like it alot.
fairy tail is a great manga, but im also a one piece fan i i see no simmelarity between the too except (nami & lucy) and why does kefi call elza,erza?
Most American bookstores have a section for manga/manwa/graphic novels.
i dunno if im wrong but, ive been heard (actually i read an info in magazine) that hiroyuki takei, hiro mashima and oda eichiro worked under watsuki nobuhiro all together. so people, please don't accuse hiro mashima copying oda's work. hiro can't help it. it is his style to draw like that, and there's so much improvement since hiro draws RAVE.
all wrong, Fairy Tail didn't copy One Piece, One Piece didn't copy Fairy Tail. The reason why they both look so similar is actually because BOTH were inspired by one common manga, Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball.

They're the best Manga's ever along with Pokemon, which is barely a manga ^_^

post your fav quotes here...
I'll start...but I have a feeling I'll post (to the most) three times before anyone else does).
From "Hoshi no Koe (with alterations from my experience of transitioning from high school to college):
"Sakura...
...to me..."
There are so many things that conjure up emotion...
The softness of dirt in spring...
Clouds in the summer sky...
If a person is happy with their surroundings, it doesn't make sense to discard things that are important to them.
-Ai Kora
"You love me, right? Make me love you more! Hachibei! So that a stupid girl like me, enough so that I can become honest... You need to Dazzle me a lot,lot more!"
-Tenmaku Sakurako, Ai Kora
The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference
-Nobaru no ou
>>11-12
I second both those quotes!!
Ai kora is awesome.
>>13
I just found out my quote is not an quote from an anime or a manga. It was included on chapter 10 of Nabari no ou (I got the name wrong too!! How annoying) and I presumed it was made up by Kamatani Yuhki. But it wasn't. It was said by Mother Theresa, so I feel very embarrassed for misquoting. Sorry. I doubt anyone would have noticed if I had not said anything, but still.
Life is always more interesting when it has an "edge" to it.
-Urd, Ah! My Goddess
The more you are hurt at the parting, the more it proves the depth of your love.
-Belldandy, Ah! My Goddess
"Cool. You like Bikes?"
"Nope, I hate them."
"Huh?"
"It hurts when you crash. And my dumb sister doesn't even care. So who'd even want to ride the dumb things?
"What are you talking about? Bikes are fun BECAUSE they can crash! The thrill is keeping something under control when it wants to wipe out."
-Sentaro & Skuld, Ah! My Goddess
There is still a lot more. But i'm gonna stop for now^^
For the hell of it, here's another one...
"I have something... I want to tell Skuld."
"Wait. Important things must be conveyed through Sentaro-kuns own lips"
-Belldandy & Sentaro, Ah! My Goddess
"As I watched you enjoying yourself, my honest spirit was set on fire."
-Hoshino, Love Roma
"Are you cool?"
"20% more than everyone else"
"I'll apologize by killing myself!"
"I would be healthier if you let me feel your boob!"
-Various characters, Love Roma
"Why are trying to stop me! Are you not my ally?!?"
"No. I'm not anyones ally. Because i'm... the ally of Love!"
-Ai Kora
"You bastard! How many people have you eaten up to now?"
"How many times have you eaten bread?"
Or something along those lines. Jonathan Joestar to Dio, JJBA, Part 1.
Okay. Maybe this is not from a manga. But I just can't stop laughing from this quote!
"Would you die if I wished hard enough?"
-Viral, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann 24
Do any of you like to draw Manga style?
I love it, and frankly, I think it's sort of like an addiction...
When I'm bored in class, I just doodle and it turns into an anime character.. xD
I started when I was in fourth grade and then it gradually got better. Of course, I'm not as good as pros yet, but I'm getting closer everyday! >__< just practicing is all I do. I wish they taught this style in art class, but unfortunately, I could not find any Art studios that teach this style, so I've had to teach myself. :/
So what about you guys?
Yeah, I draw manga style. I can't help it. It's like an incurable disease. I try and I try to draw people normally but they always come out with manga-styled features.
I seem to have this bastardized style of drawing that's manga with hints of western in it. Too many cartoons @.@
When I draw, I normally draw characters which have the features of characters in manga. However, the doodles are never as good as the ones in any manga I have read and I'm not sure I like my style of drawing very much. I'm not consistant and I always draw the same poses.
I don't think 'Manga style' is the correct terminology to use though, as there are lots of different styles not just one. I get what you mean.. but the phrase still bugs me.
I always draw faces and poses in school since i get so bored. like >>4 im not consistent either, i can never draw the same character twice.
I also started around 4th grade too and i kept some of my "art" (if you can call it that) from back then and it wsa nice to see the transitions i saw in my drawings up until now.
I also draw manga style..well i'm not completely sure whether is anime or manga..same diff lol.
I have always like art and wanted to be a manga artist or designer. Now i'm very fond of the Manga style and have decided i would take my new drawing seriously and try to create a novel...or a graphic novel using the plot i wrote in one of the other threads!
It will be called. Rainbow midnight magic: Wand of perfect harmony
The main character will be called Rainight she will posess the midnight rainbow wand and a perferct harmony pendant called the rainbow dream gem. All the girls in the Mystical midnight dream gang transform into wolves at night and meet up in their secret headquarters...Midnight Wolf NightClub. It's some night club all the highschool kids try and sneek into lol!
Okay i'm getting a little to into deoth, sorry! I'll stop now!
Damn spelling error. Depth sorry not deoth!
Blushes
POOO IZ GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
