Just finished Sidonia. I like that it has a happy ending. But why are you doing this, Nihei. Why?
Was hoping for a thread like this.
I mean, about Sidonia.
Anyway, I'd like to know if it's worth buying in print. Shit's about to show up in me country (alongside Blame!, but I know I'm getting that for sure), so my question is, should I be getting it. Not very fond of long ass series' - takes too much space on the shelf.
So, /a/, should I, or should I rather stream it and forget?
Thank you very much in advance.
Cheers.
Soo progressive.

His daughter ordered him to make fun manga like SnK.

Read it online first. If you like it, then buy it.
If a man can love a space penis worm I don't have a problem with a girl becoming a man.

>Yeah, I wanted the art to have a Tezuka-level mass appeal. (laugh) I even considered changing my pen name when I was starting Knights of Sidonia. I wanted the story to be simple, too – nothing that would lose the reader. But while I was making it as user-friendly as possible, though, I figured it was important to make sure it’s still fun for me to draw in some way, so I chose to work within my favorite genre: robot manga. In retrospect, though, if I was aiming to make a mainstream hit, it doesn’t make sense to do a robot manga – it’s not even a remotely mainstream genre. So I’m still missing the mark, in that sense. (laugh)
who cares. As someone who followed Nihei since Blame! and all his subsequent one-shots and short series, I'm happy he finally got "some" mainstream recognition.
That said, he doesn't really make happy endings, all his shit has been bitter sweet at best.
I still want him to expand Abarra. I want my bio exo-armor battles, but with a bit more conventional setting.

I've read some of it and kinda liked it.
Still, the longest series that sits on my shelf isGTOspanning 25 books and I remember getting a little bit annoyed by the end with that.
Guess, I'll look into Sidonia some more and see if I'd like to have it cluttering my small ass room.
Cheers.

Why didn't he just do a slice of life manga about cute posthuman girl-esque creatures doing cute things?
>>140614589
I'd watch an anime about cute space penises.

It's me, Nihei-sensei. Tell me more about that "deserve", please.

This end made me burst my ass laughing.
At least it wasn't an inconclusive lame harem end like most apocalypters were expecting. I think it was very fitting for the goofy atmosphere of the manga and somewhat elegant.

I pity you.
