I don't mean hate them. I mean are there much loved Manga/Authors which are also highly rated, but you kind of finding it/them just average? Tastes differs, and I assuming everyone experienced, even if a manga is highly rated by majority, that must not mean that oneself liking it as well - or am I the only one?
So I thought I ask for it for killing time and hopefully without stirring up a disput....
One exampel from me (and I can already hear the indignation) would be Natsume Isaku. The most of it was good and okay, but never belonged to my favorites.
For me, there's one time that i cannot enjoy certain manga fully... i mean, when i read it for the first time it feels boring but then when i reread it on the other time, surprisingly it becomes interesting
Well that's from me ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I love Natsume Isaku! She likes drawing bickering love, and I love those, so it's a no-brainer for me. It's definitely down to taste and preference.
Mine would be Takarai Rihito (Seven Days, Hana series, Ten Count). I used to like her works very much many years ago, but I stopped reading BL for a long while. So now that her works are mostly completed, I now find her works to be all feelings with no substance to the point of not empathizing when the characters spew sentimentalities. I even dropped Ten Count because it went in a direction that I had no interest in reading.
I see your point in case of Takarai Rihito. Still I've the feeling to get better entertained by her stories, while some of Natsume Isaku manga have its longueurs, also do I prefer the drawing-style of Rihito compared directly.
Being usually into smut, Id say I ignore anything that doesnt caught my eye easily and that doesnt involves smut. Im sometimes into Tragedy/Psychological if I want to take my time reading something but I usually just go to quick fap materials that has loads of smex pages with beautiful/yummy artstyle (uncensored, if lucky). Bonus points if its humor is on par with mine. I cant really name one since I dont really see them in my radar from cherry picking
Sorry, but I still don't get it which Manga and time you were referring to....#－.－)
So i'm not the only one who thinks like that!(￣∇￣")
I do think that Seven Days is really "plain", and i abandoned Ten Count after reading it about two chapters!
And just like you,i love natsume isaku works..mostly!
Smut is neither a selection criterion nor an exclusion reason for me. Although the drawing style is one, if I absolutely dislike the art, then I can't read the manga....True story, the reason why I've never read a Story from Fujisaki Kou. I've once tried and directly dropped it. Sorry but I really can't stand it.
Mate, is this you? http://hattedhedgehog.tumblr.com/post/170053118257/the-idea-of-cassandra-and-dorian-being-trashy
'Cause that's definitely me.
LOOOOOOL ....And here I was thinking I could hide myself in the anonymity of the internet.And no one would ever hear about my darkest secret. How much I'm yearning for these corny second hand emotions, that I'm able to feel by reading sentimental BL-Manga....Sorry - I think I need a kleenex..... ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ ╥﹏╥
Wow, just two chapters? That's actually fast. I think I dropped it at the point that Kurose did this unethical medical practice by taking Shirotani on as a "patient". That was a power imbalance I couldn't get behind. But hey, high-five for knowing we're not the only ones thinking that about her works. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Hahahaha XD!
Excuse me while I go raid your lists now fellow corny comrade.
I don't feel any "attachment" while reading it, same goes to Seven Days. When i got the urged to give up, i kept telling myself: come on it would not kill you just by reading it to the end! (￣∇￣") Sorry to say this, it's kinda rude. But that's what i feel..
A long time ago (circa 10-15 years) I have begun to read these serie, but never finished it. That's why I'm searching for it, though I don't remember the content clearly. Whatever, here comes the summary (as far as i could remember):
● the MC was a blond girl at High School (I'm pretty sure that she was the 2. year.)
●she was bullied by female classmates (I believe that it were two girls)
● she was shy and has had problems to defend herself
●she was scared that somebody might find out her secret hobby
●her hobby was to cosplay as gothic lolita
●she developed a second personality, which were bolder and fought against her bullies
● the name has had 4 letters also the name of her second personality
●she met frequently a boy from her new class by coincidence and as a result they started to get involved with each other
●after school she spended her time on the Jingu/Harajuku bridge with cosplaying
That's not very much, but all I recollect so far. I'm grateful for any suggestion. (●'◡'●)ﾉ
I think it could be this one:

Hope it helps ^^
OMG- Thanks a lot, that's the one I've searched!!
I've stumbled over this online version of the MBTI test recently.
>>>>> https://www.16personalities.com/ <<<<<
What kind of personality are you and do you think that the outcome is accurate?
{My test resulted in 'Entrepreneur [ESTP-T]'. I don't take this to serious, but I admit that I found my evalution fittingly to some extend. Although I know that the test succumbs in terms of science and is working with barnum effect partly. ¯_(ツ)_/¯}
It's fun thing to do.
From that test, I got "Mediator" (or the other name is "Healer"). The MBTI code name is INFP-A or INFP-T. But I don't know the further answer if I could be an A or T
Mediator too ╮(￣▽￣)╭
INTP (get that on every time).
INFP -t (mediator)
Logician.
Same here. I also git always the same resulotion.
Maybe the explanation will help you from the article 'our theory' . It says that the last letter are standing for the 'identity'. Furthermore, that the Identity aspect underpins all others and shows how confident we are in our abilities and decisions.
{An -A (assertive) stands for self-assured, even-tempered and resistant to stress individuals. They refuse to worry too much and do not push themselves too hard when it comes to achieving goals.
And that individuals are self-conscious and sensitive to stress if they have a -T (turbulent) at the end. These are likely to experience a wide range of emotions, success-driven, perfectionistic and eager to improve.}
INTJ-t here...
I got Entertainer! This is so interesting!
ISFJ-T
I got Mediator...
Funny, cuz I'm a Libra
No wonder we smh stick around lol jk
What libra should be in ur opinion? XD idk about libra though :o
How important is the artistic representation of a manga for you?
In my case, I've already started to dip into a few pages in the middle of a manga befor I add it to the "want to read" list. I know that sounds superficial, but even if the storyline sounds interesting, I prefer to not start it when i dislike the art.
mhhh but maybe you will change when you read it? this happend often for me.
good example is "kawaii akuma" back then it was too mhhhh dunno confusing maybe, something was odd for me with the paneels and stuff I dislked it and didnt read it.
but now... its one of my favorit mangas and also the art is for me beautiful too. cant say how often I re-read the whole series
I don't know but in the beginning I wasn't so picky, but in time I started to pay ever more attention to the style.
For exemple "Happy Yarou Wedding" was recommended to me, because of the nice story, but I couldn't finish it.
Your choice but you might actually be missing out. I remember when I started reading my starring sky the art wasn't the best but the story was really interesting and when season 2 came out the art got Wayyyy better.
Another example is How sweet is a sugar daddy. Like damn some of the anatomy in that story is wack but it's an interesting read. You might be missing out on some really good stories if you let the art dyke get in your way
I really dislike the art for junjou romantica with the exception of Misaki's expressions and the chibis but I love the story so I'll read it to the end...on the other when I want to read smut for smut's sake I want uncensored, beautiful art..Mangas like Scarlet Beriko give me both art and story...Zaria too.
the artsytle from this mangaka is very uniqe. the wedding manga is also my taste, but
I truly love king&prince. may try to read other stories from the same mangaka?
but I understand when you just dont like it. sometimes it is like it is :)
I 'have' something similar. you can slaughter me but the mangas from 'sakira' (bousou kareshi) are not made for me. the art is pretty but somehow I dislke the stories (cant say why)
I meant the wedding manga is NOT my taste- (fast fingers)
I´ve read 'How sweeT is a sugar daddy`, but it `s definitely true that I miss out some good stuff because of that. Like all of Kou Fujisaki' Mangas, because i couldn't get warm up to his art.
It used to have little impact on whether or not I decide to start something, but now it's a crucial part of whether or not I decide to read something. If the art looks terrible, I probably won't start it. But if the art is okay and the plot is even better, it'll probably end up in my reading list at some point. It's the same with plots though; almost everything was so palatable before, but now I'm really picky about what the categories and plots I get into (can't even stand shoujo anymore).
And generally, if the art's not to my liking, the plot won't be either.
No, because of the drawing i haven't read something from him at all...
But I also don't like the mangas from 'sakira' (at least the stuff I've take peek at), because I find the the storylines are to crude.
The Anime of Junjou romantica wass the first BL stuff I've seen. After that I started to get interested in that genre. But without wanting to offend anyone, I find meanwhile other mangas visually more appealing.
If I can't handle how ugly the art is, I can focus on yet alone get interested in the story line
The art is important, but, for me, the story is what makes me go back and re-read.
if the cover looks bad I dont read it which sucks because people recommend it later on and I read it and LOVE it ToT and yet.... I do the same thing over and over
*can't
for me, I always click on any manga that have good art or at least it's tolerable to me ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~ but if in the middle of reading I found a bad storyline I usually leave it until it updated for a while, like if somehow the romance type if the other party like cheated of the other char (an example for that is see you again) I was like "well, lets leave it for now" ╮(￣▽￣)╭ . Not that it's bad, just it's not my cup of tea type (〜￣△￣)〜
When you are asked about some recommended readings, which Manga / Manhua title would immediatly cross your mind ?
blue sky complex
it depends on the person :')
-for webtoons i would say "escape into oblivion" but its not for everyone.
-for a healthy relationship i would say "slow starter".
- for more serious stuff i would say "let dai" "sakura gari" "smells like teen spirit".
- for incest i would say "not equal" and "kokoro o korosu houhou".
- for smth sad i would say "lonely to organdy"
-for something sad but not yaoi i would say "diamond dust"
-for something in general i would say "homunculus" and "monster"
life or any manga by harada or ogawa chise

My search mask for Mangas etc. looks normally always the same, so there must be lot good stuff what I actually missed because of my routine. So I'm really curios about the Mangas that I would not normally bump into! There are already three mentioned (let dai, sakura qari and life),also thank all for the replies!(▰˘◡˘▰)

Whoa there-what do we have here? An anonymous reviewer and I've got to admit how strongly impressed I am by your sophisticated and nihilistic performance.
Beginning with the by now international comprehensibel cussword 'bitch' followed up by plain Emoticons to vent out one's resentment about the language barrier. Chapeau!
But seriously, I'm so jeaulous of your intelligence..... (￣ε(#￣)Σ
Es ist total merkwürdig hier auf der Seite etwas deutsches zu lesen ^^
Ja man und auch auf zu deutsch schreiben....aber ich hatte, heute früh, schon kurzfristig Angst gehabt, dass mein Laptop mich wegen sexueller Belästigung anzeigt, weil ich ihn so penetrant anzwinkern musste, um das mit den lesen auf Englisch hinzubekommen...
Schreiben war da gar nicht mehr drin.....(≧∀≦)
Unsere Laptops müssen hier wirklich einiges mitmachen ... :)
Ich bin mir sicher, er wollte es auch....das war so ein typisches Yaoi realness 'Oh..No..please-stop' *muhaha
