Either Hakumei to Mikochi or Nomi Joshi
Both are kinda known on /a/, but no one I know talks about them

There are some more obscure ones I keep up with, but I'd rather mention ones that I actually enjoy

No one here ever talks about Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru so that I guess.

I really like the art style the mangaka uses in this series but I only read the one-shot chapter so far.

Ongoing-series it'd probably be Koshoku Robot but I think it would get a decent amount of attention if it were translated.

I remember like 5 years ago some poor soul tried to bring manhwa in my country, so he founded a company and released the first volume of a manhwa called hero, I remeber it was pretty good, it was about martial arts and high school delinquents.
the shit is obscure a barely can find anything on the internet about it, let alone a scanlation or even a raw.
Needless to say the company went bust before even releasing a second volume.

Honestly, this one just went too far off the rails. The school arc is when shit really started to get stupid. If the author actually restrained himself and didn't go full retard, it could've been cool.

Also, not enough time skips. Not sure how the author fucked up a simple idea of showing the two mains interacting after the girl has reached maturity. They skip time at the very last chapter, by which point she could very well be a completely different character for all we know.

It seems disconnected to me as well, like all these grand ideas are supposed to be transgressive but the characters are stereotypes and sociopaths with pet monkeys doing some kind of stage show for the hell of it. Then they actually do a stage show. It's too in love with its own prettiness, even if it's doing a good job of metaphor it's not very well thought out like you said. Good post. Still, as far as manga being a visual medium, it does that really well and the grand ideas are illustrated grandly.

I think it's up to what you want to focus on, and it ran very thin of plot and characterization towards the end.

Do you think I'm retarded not to understand a basic metaphor? Christ. When I say it's out of touch with reality and it's betting on shock value, what I mean to say is that all the characters appear to be completely 'unreal' even though they are based on real people, the author is over-dramatizing everyhing. Executioners existed for a long period, you don't need to portray them constantly as kind of psychopaths for me to get the point.

I can be wrong though and I will probably re-read it, it's not like I'm saying it's awful, all I said I dropped it because I didn't like it and I dropped it early on. No need to be anal.

>>147672255
I don't know at what I point I dropped it - it's when Charles (the young one) meets some blonde young guy with long hair and then the torture scenes with his mom (?). Too dramatic. It worked with manga like Kokou no Hito or Homunculus or Ichi the Killer because it seemed like only certain characters were psychopaths. In Innocent however everyone seemed unreal and some kind of sadomaso.

Most of the characters are used as poetic devices and grow or die long those lines. Not very historical at all but with a large focus on the tropes of decadence and cruelty that you would expect from nobles or maybe media related to them. Marie is a lot of things in different parts of the manga but really, every character is fabricated. The only difference between her and the others is her name and relation is fabricated.

From the way he's talking about it ("remains tense through," specifically), it sounds like he's already finished it. Which is my first post mentioned him as someone who seemed to be talking about all the manga they've read.

>I'm sure we and me both know a bunch of random shit that isn't even scanlated and whatnot but that still doesn't mean a whole lot of people know about KnS
I see it come up with decent regularity, I really don't think it's obscure. I could go on a random online reader and check the ten most recent updates and probably half of them would be more obscure.

I recognize your posting style, and I think you and I just can't agree on anything. We argue every fucking time.

The most obscure manga anyone has ever read, it would be like it never existed in the first place. You want the impossible, which is for us to go away and stop taking your perceived place in discussion so you won't have to feel left out.

If I understand correctly what you're talking about I guess it's just the way the author decided to portray war in a more militaristic way, after all that goes hand in hand with how the main character is as well as the emphasis on strategy in times of war. That is instead of focusing on the emotional side of it I guess, like all the mourning for the dead, anger, fear, etc. Well I personally like it, after all I think the emotional aspect you suggest would go better if this was a war story from the side of civilians or something like that.

Oh, I remember reading this. I liked it too, nice oldschool shoujo stuff (feels older than the late 90s, honestly). The artist has some long-running Victorian drama now that I tried and failed to get scanlators interested in a while back.

fair, its just the page I have when i tested to see if my scanner could read it well and I don't download many of the pages

Came here to see if anyone else had mentioned it. Been reading it since chapter 3. I hope the scans keep on going because I'm enjoying it, though I have no idea what the rest of Takeda Sun's series are like so I'm not quite sure what I'm in for.

I can't tell if Fire Punch is the best or worst manga ever made.

I wanted it to be good. Such wasted potential.

It has never been translated but I've never met anyone who has read Oudou no Inu. It's good, though.

>It's not anything special
It was great and even dumb burgers acknowledged it enough for the managaka to receive an Eisner nomination.

I bet tons of nips have read it.

I never see anyone talk about Karakuri Circus on here, which is a shame because it's great.

There's a reason why no one reads this
