>>153327178
also props to editing the wikipedia page

glad dedication isn't dead

>>153327227
Because his art is close enough to traditionnal bande dessiné and the themes we wrote about resonated well in France. Winning an award at angouleme helped a lot.

Sad.
Maybe someone could dump one of his manga

Rest in peace, old man.

RIP.

No more good manga for the French, nobody else released him anyway

HOW DID HE DIE SO YOUNG NOOOOOO

>>153326843
He is not dead..., he hust moved to a distant neighborhood...

Only read the one about the guy who goes back to the past and discovers why his father left. Gave me some major feels.

Easily one of my favorite mangaka, rip in peace buddy

Really sad that he died so young. I'm sure he would have kept on writing manga for a good decade had he not died.
His solo works were often meh but when he worked with a scenarist or from an existing story he was able to make masterpieces.

F

Fuck, why. Couldn't some hack author die instead of him? Fuck everything.

Honestly never heard of the guy or his works. Someone do a chapter dump of some of his stuff, I've been looking for something new to get into.

>>153326843
Never heard of the guy but RIP.

>>153330643
Was he working on something?
I think Kodoku no gourmet 2 was the last thing he did.
We might get his last unfinished work at some point, it would be better than nothing.

I don't think the death of any mangaka has made me this sad before. Really loved his work.

Haruka na Machi e is a masterpiece.

RIP.

>>153328619
Most of his stuff is released here in Italy too. I always thought he was as well known as he is in Europe worldwide, i'm actually kinda surprised he isn't that known in America.

He's basically mainstream/entry level as far as japanese graphic novels go here.

And this a few years ago

His works hold a special place in my heart. I think I was barely 10 years old when I first read Haruka na Machi e which my father offered me. It was at that moment i realized manga could also be this kind of experience. Years later another one of his work, Chichi no Koyomi, helped me cope with the death of my dad.

I really respect him for the fact that he managed to drew here in France an other type of audience, namely older people that don't read manga in the first place and tend to belittle it.

Now that he's passed away his books will hold even more significance.

RIP

>I really respect him for the fact that he managed to drew here in France an other type of audience, namely older people that don't read manga in the first place and tend to belittle it.
This, years ago I got my father (an old BD fanatic who thought that manga was basically violent and badly drawn shit) into manga thanks to the Gourmet.

>>153326843
His name sounds common. RIP.

>>153333599
Not the same anon, but my father is now a fan of Taniguchi's manga after I convinced him to give it a try. Still he's quite stubborn and thinks other manga are shit despite having never read them.

Taniguchi is one of those few mangaka with Otomo and Kon that took a lot of inspiration from western comics, and that definitely makes him unique.

Was a damn good and cozy read, definitely one of my favourite pieces of manga, love the detailed background and scenery on his works.

Also if some studio was to make A Distant Neighbourhood into an anime series or movie who would be best? I think Kyoani can handle a good version of it.

>>153336551
For some reason his works never seems to have been adapted into anime. I wonder why.

Surely not.

Manga in general isn't nearly as big in America as I gather it is in Europe. Entry-level fags here usually know weekly shounen, Berserk, Vagabond, Urasawa, and that's about it.

>>153338609
>Entry-level fags here usually know weekly shounen, Berserk, Vagabond, Urasawa, and that's about it.

That's pretty much the same here in Italy, but Taniguchi and Mizuki's stuff is also sold in major bookstores so it's easily accessible and well-known among fans of comics in general.

>>153339012

Taniguchi's material often goes out of print quickly for some reason, especially here in the UK, I bought A Distant Neighbourhood a couple months ago since I feared it would be going out of print much like his other works. Glad I bought the hardcover since it is beautiful. I'd like it if they reprinted more of his manga or reprinted Summit of the Gods in hardcover.

I'm honestly surprised about Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer being released by Seven Seas but I'm glad I bought the entire series a while ago.

WHO??

Rest in peace.

Wow, that looks great. I had no idea he made such an artbook.
Usually I like his realistic backgrounds because they make his manga higly immersive, but I don't find them very esthetically pleasing. The color here might just make the difference.

>>153340079
If you ever want to give it a shot try Ballad of the Salt Sea, it's good and self-contained. I have the colored edition and it looks great.

So-called "life expectancy" is actually a poor assessment of how long one can expect to live.

Even translated to Norwegian.

Never read any if his work, but when I googled him most of the pages that cane up where in my own language which usually never happens when I google manga/anime.
What would you recommend someone to read from his work?

>>153341175
K if you're interested in climbing, Setton if you like animals and nature, Botchan if you're interested in the Meiji era, Kodoku no Gourmet if you like food, Garouden for martial arts enthusiasts etc.
He really made a lot of different manga, even a western with american indians and everything, a SoL about a dog, romance, hard-boiled stories, autobiographical stories. You should just pick the one that seem the more interesting to you.
Just keep in mind that the manga he wrote all by himself are generally his weakest works.

I think A Distant Neighbourhood (which I'm posting now) and Summit of the Gods are his most accessible works available in English. Not sure which ones are translated in your language though.

>>153334266
Life as a mangaka and VA is really tough and you have to work your ass off, while other nips just do pretend work and push all of the actual work on some young person who doesn't know any better and finally ends up killing themselves because of overworking.

Ah, so I've read Aruku Hito. I've been meaning to read his other works, his art is beautiful.

R.I.P., Taniguchi-sensei.

In a couple of decades, anime and manga will be pretty much entertainment for the elderly. The average age of core im@s fans in Japan should be well over 40 and old people tend not to change their hobby.

If language barriers are a problem, then I'd suggest looking at "The Walking Man". I have a copy published in English by Fanfare/Ponent Mon, but the stories are all wordless and dialogue free (except for the last chapter, but that was written some time after the other strips).

Taniguchi was one of my favourites, ever since I read "Benkei in New York".
Many years back I was at an art gallery that had an exhibition of artwork by mangaka, and I saw some original pages from The Walking Man, from the story set in summer.

RIP

RIP
Time to re-read some of his works, especially Harukana Machi-E and Kodouko Gourmet.

Language was never really a problem I was just suprised that most of the stuff that came up when I googled was in my language/came from my own country which suprised since that never happens and my country seems to hate anime.

I really hope this gets a sticky. Then again I don't think Yoshihiro Tatsumi got a sticky either, really shows how the mods don't have good taste in manga.

You guys ever get anxiety thinking how much manga there is, not even counting other books?

Not really. Most mango is shit (as with all artistic mediums), no point in trying to read it all.

I'm pretty sure there was a giant hissyfit because Mizuki didn't get a sticky but this is honestly taking the piss really. Think I'm going to read Guardians of the Louvre tonight since it's been on my shelf for a while.

>>153374596

My bet is Japanese flu

>>153374596
An accident would have made the news, and yeah it was really sudden to be cancer. So it was probably an heart attack or something like this.

>>153375402
But Mizuki did get a sticky, at least.

>>153375402
And also what better opportunity to make all the plebs become aware of the existence of something else other than naruto and have them read something decent for once?

>>153376019
I honestly think that there are very few /a/ people who actually read manga at all. It seems to be much because every adaption has its fans who cry "read the manga" when something airs, but you always only see the same ~30 manga series maybe and almost all of them are either comedy harem or endless shounen.

>>153376862
And this is exactly why we need a /manga/ board. Just make it so that manga who have anime adaptation belong to /anime/.

>>153377394
Splitting /a/ would kill it even if I feel this is a fine idea.

>>153377639
I doubt a lot of people only read manga. Most would continue coming to /a/ to discuss anime, and we could make manga threads other than OPT without them falling on page 10 after 20 posts.

>>153377394
/manga/ is a bad idea as >>153377639 said.
Just not enough traffic to keep it going decently.

A single permanent recurring thread in /a/ for generic manga discussion would be better, but i'm not sure how it could be implemented (as it'd have to be a sticky or similar to avoid being pushed off page 10 instantly).

>>153377882
At worst it would be a slow board and a failed attempt at generating more/better manga discussion. I fail to see how it could harm /a/.

>>153377639
All the small following manga threads die with no responses.
>>153377882
>Just not enough traffic to keep it going decently.
That's the very exact reason why it's a perfect idea, actually.
Threads won't die immediately and will probably live for days.
>A single permanent recurring thread in /a/ for generic manga discussion would be better
FUCK NO! That's a nightmare for unpopular manga or manga that don't have a recently released chapter. That's what you would want to avoid.

>>153377991
Especially if you keep the manga with adaptations on /a/.

>>153377991
>I fail to see how it could harm /a/.
Never said it would.
>>153378095
>That's a nightmare for unpopular manga or manga that don't have a recently released chapter.
I'd keep occasional "new chapter" out of it, just using as container for any other manga-related discussion.

But yeah, it'd be a mess to balance out content.

>>153378250
Why do people think that traffic is good? I don't want traffic, I can only wish for a low traffic manga board with no stupid manga with adaptations and threads with only a few posts each day.
It would be fucking heaven. Forum-like quality discussion with the possibility of imageboard-like flow.

>>153378582
Would be like /a/ back in 2005 but the opposite setting, since /a/ was only for anime back then and posting manga was explicitly against the board rules.

I emailed moot about a manga board for years though, and he always said no fucking way. Maybe Hiroshima would be up for it though.

>>153378582
And anonimity. Honestly this is probably the main reason why I come to /a/ in the first place. On normal forums the oldfags get their dicks sucked way too much, and when someone tries to argue against the consensus on something he gets quickly labeled as "that idiot with weird tastes".

>>153378803
>>153378875
At this point I'm convinced they simply don't wanna do it for economical reasons. There's no other downside to it, every other single issue can have an easy solution.
We're fucking stuck here with not even a sticky for the death of one of the most important mangaka.

>>153378875
I hate forums because people always end up in different fractions at some point and then someone who argued against you in one thread won't ever agree with you in another thread because of hate and DRAMA.
And then there is usually the mod party of users who love everything the mods do and say and the others who get treated as rebells after a while. Hell, I was once perma banned from a forum I used for 4 years because I criticised the admin.

>>153379015
That's sad but you're probably right. They just don't want to bother themselves with a new board.

>>153379511
Yeah forums are shit for that even though you can sometimes have quality discussion there.

>>153379015
It's kinda shitty because there are a lot of slow as fuck "spin-off" boards of other boards here nobody needs.

>link isn't fake
Just fuck my shit up.

Rest in piece, good sir.

>>153377394
>Just make it so that manga who have anime adaptation belong to /anime/.
This is dumb. Coming up with broad arbitrary bylaws like this to try and exclude everyone whose taste you don't like is silly. If we had a manga board (I'm against it, personally), the better approach would just be elitism and telling people who don't read much to fuck off, not fucking banning everything with an anime and splitting discussion even more.

>>153379780
>>153380004
They're afraid they'd lose the 50 bucks per month they get from the ads on /a/ if they split anime and manga.

>>153379015
>We're fucking stuck here with not even a sticky for the death of one of the most important mangaka.
Calm down, anon. We didn't have a sticky for Dezaki, either.

I'll miss him. His books were contemplative but he knew how to make scenes with fast pacing and action when the story needed it; he always struck a particular cord in me.
Except The Summit of the Gods, but that's probably because I'm not a mountaineer.

>>153380235
>not fucking banning everything with an anime
That wouldn't be feasible in the first place. How are you supposed to have a Nihei thread if you can only talk about Abara or Biomega and not Blame or Sidonia?
The solution is simply a vague rule like "discussion should pertain to manga and discussion of anime adaptations should be avoided" and let users moderate themselves, eventually once in a while you'd have to kill a thread that derails too much into anime discussion.

Discussion of the most popular manga with anime adaptations will naturally stay on /a/. People who care about generals, memes or whowouldyoufug will want to stay on the faster board.

>>153380235
The reasoning here is that you need a manga board to be able to discuss unpopular manga and for that purpose have threads that last maybe even a few days.
Now please explain to me how do you expect to achieve that with constant generals about
monster girls
tokyo ghoul
one piece
fairy tail
jojo
naruto
and a long list of other popular manga? Not only these threads would polarize the discussion on a manga board but they'd also push the other threads to page 10.

>>153326843
good riddance, he was a talentless hack

S

>>153380814
Blame has only a shit cgi movie and shorts so it's okay (I just made this rule up), regarding Sidonia I say good riddance, I happily leave it to /a/.

Anyway the rule of thumb should be to leave all the manga that naturally generate generals on /a/.

>>153380814
>People who care about generals, memes or whowouldyoufug will want to stay on the faster board.
This seems pretty idealistic to me. Unless properly enforced, I see no reason why some still-pretty-big fraction of the huge WSJ or Berserk or whatever posters wouldn't post on /manga/ either instead of or in addition to on /a/. And slow as fuck manga threads still have memes and whowouldyoufug, you can't get rid of that.

>>153380918
>Now please explain to me how do you expect to achieve that with constant generals about
I don't, which is one of the reasons I don't think a manga board is a good idea. Nevertheless, banning everything with an anime is fucking stupid and throws the baby out with the bathwater.

>>153381176
> regarding Sidonia I say good riddance, I happily leave it to /a/.

Alright, what you want isn't a manga board, it's a board for your favorite manga. Or at the least, a board where everyone discusses good mature less-popular manga in a mature manner. Unfortunately, /a/ is not that for anime, and a manga board is simply not going to be that for manga, not without some cripplingly byzantine rule system and Nazimod-tier enforcement. Boards do not exist to cater to your own personal taste.

>>153381176
>Blame has only a shit cgi movie and shorts so it's okay
But that's not how it works. If you make a rule you have to stick to it.
And "not discussing anything with an anime adaptation would be really dumb". Think of all these manga that have only a single 1-cour anime and will never have more. They would be banned from the board for no reason.
Aside from a few exceptions like gekiga that tend to never get adapted to animation, only obscure untranslated manga would remain and the board would be a desert.

>>153326843
Literally what is the difference between his stuff and the other thousands of manga artists?

For those looking for Taniguchi story times, you're apparently on the wrong board.

Ah, come on, that's not what I meant.

So what you're saying is all those small as fuck, ultra specific, low traffic board don't exist already, uh?
>>153381403
I was joking.

You respond to the joke but not the serious part? Ok.
And yes, I prefer a board with small traffic.
>>153381471
>you are now aware that this post was made by a mod

>>153381251
It's ok if it has a few fast threads, because at least it should be free of the VN/LN generals like muv/luv or MahoIku and of the threads about airing anime.
>And slow as fuck manga threads still have memes and whowouldyoufug, you can't get rid of that.
I don't even want to get rid of them. But I think most of it would stay on /a/ since they tend to come with anime more than manga, maybe I'm wrong.

>>153380664
Same. Is there even any other mangaka who's comparable to Taniguchi? There were a few scenes in Urasawa manga which had somewhat of a Taniguchi aura about them but that's everything I know about.

>>153380814
I don't think it would work.
/co/ is invaded by capeshit tv shows and movies, and has barely any indie or euro comics in it.
I'm afraid you'll just exchange one kind of cancer for another.

>>153381471
That's a kinda stupid question since the other thousands of maga artist aren't an homogeneous bunch. Why not try to read and form your own opinion?

>>153381616
I understand that you were joking but the fact that you thought of that joke in the first place shows that it would be impossible to enforce.
Maybe you're okay with not discussing Sidonia but others would say "I want to discuss it here and not on /a/". Then you would want to discuss Blame but someone would say "no, it has an anime version so it doesn't belong here".

>>153375402
Mizuki did get a sticky. It was also immediately flooded with "literal who" posts and "mods are hipsters" posts. Unless that's the kind of "tribute thread" you want, it's better for there not to be a sticky.

>>153381616
>Again. >>153378582
What? We're not even discussing traffic right now (although I think your opinion on it is extreme at best). Traffic is the number of posts or people, but we're discussing the number of things that can be discussed on the board. Banning everything with an anime would cut out not only dozens of series with adaptations each season that barely get talked about on /a/ (most of which you'd probably dismiss in the same way as Sidonia - "I don't care about them, so they can rot"), but also tons of legitimate classics and great works - you'd ban discussion of Joe, Rose of Versailles, Touch, H2, Terra e, Kaze Ki, Monster, Master Keaton, etc., etc., etc.

>Ah, come on, that's not what I meant.
That's what you're arriving at, whether or not you mean to.

>So what you're saying is all those small as fuck, ultra specific, low traffic board don't exist already, uh?
Is there another board where the major interests of the people who would otherwise use it are specifically excluded by in-depth subjective legislation to cater it to the tastes of a minority? Because that's what you're suggesting, and I can't think of any others like that.

/co/ is the western equivalent to /a/. Making a manga-only board would be somewhat like making a board for comics where capeshit or generally things from the USA would be banned.
