Catching up on my Weekly Shonen Jump last night. The new series Full Drive about ping pong looks really promising. Sports Manga is secretly best manga.

By Apollo Go To PostRough and Touch are my personal GOAT mangasDid you read H2?
By KidA Seven Go To PostDid you read H2?
Not yet
By Apollo Go To PostNot yetIt's up there with those 2. I think it's better than Rough.
By s y Go To PostHave you read REAL? Same Mangaka for Vagabond and Slam Dunk!I think I may have looked at it but always skipped over it for some reason. I'll check it out!

I’ll put it on my list
I enjoy Goblin Slayer more than I perhaps should. A shame it's only monthly. The setup is pretty straight forward: dude hates goblins after they killed everyone in his village and now lives to exterminate them. He doesn't care about other monsters or other people's hardships. He's here to kill goblins. No, no, he doesn't care for your backstory, just tell him where the goblins are so he can get started.

just started reading this
these goblins are berserk-tier cunts, they remind me of the trolls from it.
Dad, The Beard Gorilla and I
A nice, relaxing comedic slice of life manga. Probably one of the best I've read to be honest. Good pacing, and doesn't veer into common manga tropes.

Here's 10 of some of my favorite mangas from the top of my head. I'm adding stuff that people might find interesting and not really mainstream. I have favorites in every genre though, so this is really hard.
1. Apollo's Song (Sci fi greek theatre-ish opus by Osamu Tezuka)
2. Dad, The Beart Gorilla and I (Slice of life)
3. 7 Seeds (Post apocalyptic with josei art. Great story though)
4. Shin Angyo Onshi (Fantasy)
5. Otoyomonogatari (Historical slice of life)
6. Dragon Quest: Dai No Bouken (Shounen battles)
7. Oishinbo (slice of life, food)
8. Cross Game (Sports)
9. Grand Blue (GTO-ish)
10. Kakao 97% (Romance)
Out of all this, I'll recommend Grand Blue to everyone on Slaent.

Bato.to is shutting down. :(
----
Chihayafuru is one of my favorites and I don't quite know why. Possibly because it makes me feel.

By s y Go To PostTime to start subbing and supporting the creators kibner!That's what bato.to was, to the best of my understanding! They didn't scrape to get their content but let the scanlators themselves upload to them.

Unless you were reading series with no english releases/legal ways to read them.
By s y Go To PostI meant the official release no scanlations lol.A little of column A, a little of column B. I do need to buy more of the releases that I read scanlations of before there were official English releases.

Hunter x Hunter is at a pretty crazy point. Chrollo is pissed and the entirety of PT is working together to end Hisoka. The mob is shook af of them reaching the top floor (where Kurapika, the princes, and the nen beasts are), so they're gunning for PT as well.
This chapter reinforced Hisoka being Goku like. The Illumi setup has to be a reference to Goku paying Hit to kill him.

Need some recommendations for something new to read. Preferably available printed in English.
Stuff I've read and enjoyed:
JJBA
OPM
Monster
20th Century Boys
Pluto
Goodnight Punpun
Death Note
Assassination Classroom
Was thinking MHA but not sure if I want to read it and watch the anime at the same time.

MHA manga is still worth reading, imo.
If you want a change of pace, Houseki no Kuni (aka Land of the Lustrous) is pretty good: https://www.amazon.com/Land-Lustrous-1-Haruko-Ichikawa/dp/1632364972
It might be wise to see if you can preview a bit of it somewhere to make sure the artstyle isn't a deal breaker.

By Apollo Go To PostWas Cross Game good? I need some more Mitsuru Adach in my lifeyeah, it's prime Adachi
By FlutterPuffs Go To Postyeah, it's prime Adachi
Good to hear.
I’ve been thinking about rereading touch. See if I will still consider it the great manga of all time.
Touch and Rough.
The Monthly Manga reading thread might have been short lived but I am glad it put me on to Adachi.
I need to read more of his shit. Absolute perfection.

I'm not sure if I should recommend Billy Bat. Still unsure what I really think about it.
kind of crazy how popular One Piece is in Japan v the rest of the world. IIRC it didn't catch in on the west like DBZ/Naruto/YuYuHakusho/MHA/etc. But it's soo huge in Japan that it's the best selling manga OAT.
Maybe it's different now.

Nah it’s still insane in Japan. Twice the amount of Dragonball
