Who are your favourite characters?
I like them all but Machi, Maki and Tanaka stand out to me.Waku is very underrated
No one in /a/ wants to discuss Bokurano? I'm sad.
>>151966526
Chizuru, definitely.
Dung Beetle.
>>151966526
The entire series is underrated. I randomly found it trawling through tvtropes and Id never heard of it before or since. It brilliantly melds so many interesting themes yet nobody ever talks about it.
>>151966526
They're basically all great, fuck. Maybe Machi, Jun, and Kirie? Komo's arc was also one of the best, but I think that was less about her (not that she was bad by any means) and more about the story concept.

Lurk for two years before posting, or else just fuck off.

Loved Bokurano, but never got around to Narutaru. Better or worse?
>>151969803
Better in my opinion, but very different so it's not easy to compare them.
>>151966526
Anime was pretty mediocre in my opinion.
Flashback/Death of the week was a mistake.
>>151969803
I just started Narutaru this week, volume 4 right now.
It's completely different from Bokurano simply because of the recurring cast. Kitoh has been handling Shiina and Akira very well and I'm excited to see what's gonna happen to them.
I recommend you read it too, since you like Bokurano.

We're not discussing the anime.

Worse, that ending was rushed shit that lead nowhere.

He really is a fantastic character.
Going from what seemed like a little cunty mascot to a genuinely nice guy and eventuallyseeing him finally reveal his face and fight the final battle was beautiful.

She blew me away, I had no idea the story would ever go in that direction.
>>151969562
>They're basically all great, fuck.
pretty much. I share the love for Jun, Kirie and Komo too. Their arcs are god-tier.
>>151968649
Manga art is bad but so charming.
>>151973565
I think his art fine, honestly. Linework is nice, the hungry-skeleton characters fit his stories, mech/monster design is great, etc. Sameface is his only major issue.
>>151973565
I really like his art.
>>151975404
and to add to that, his backgrounds are fantastic
Narutaru was more memorable to me but maybe it's due to the shock value, some scenes are just tough, painful (and very creative) shit
>>151966526
>Who are your favourite characters?
Daiichi and Nakama, by the end of the series I also liked Dung Beetle a lot.
>>151977464
What do you like about them?
>>151976494
I definitely prefer Bokurano, but I see what you mean. I think that a lot of the deaths in Bokurano were softened by the dignity most of the characters showed when it was their turn and the efforts the survivors made to honor them. Narutaru was just savage.
Machi sure got shafted at the end, I genuinely felt bad for her. Chizuru, Machi, Nakama and Jun were overall my favorite characters, Chizuru's arc being the most memorable due to shock value.
And then there's this fuckin page...

I flipped my shit when Machigot shot in the fucking faceafter, pic related, one of the most heartfelt I've ever read in manga.
Truly best girl who deserved better, fucking chinks.
>>151969314
I think it's rushed and overrated personally. Not enough build up and character development for me to give a shit about anyone other than the girl with the prostitute mother. Every one else sorta just existed and died with a bit of drama.
>>151969803
Different. Narutaru makes you like the characters more but has a full retard drop everything ending. Up until she dies? It's a fucking amazing manga. After that? Just drops the ball and kills itself.
Feels like the author was told 'no more serialisation for you so wrap it up in 4 chapters' and it ended.
>>151981100
Honestly Nakama was best girl, with Machi close 2nd. Her story with the prostitute mother and her final wish was really uplifting and made me melt a little.
