https://mangadex.org/title/21437/atsumare-fushigi-kenkyu-bu Romcom/SoL by the author of Ika Musume Maybe I am just easily amused, but the way this manga keeps making the same joke differently gets me every time. Sometime it's in the the main joke other times it's in the background but it's funny nevertheless. Also the girls are cute.
wtf I read three or four chapters to see what you meant and it hypnotized me into watching all of it

A bump to second a recommendation for Dorohedoro as it's completed now, in case people were afraid of it being a series that never ends. Who knows if Berserk will ever finish though.

really no point to this thread now that megathreads aren't in garry's crosshairs anymore.
Ok?
its still a nice idea to put all recommendations into one place, just put a link to here in FA's op
It's also the cutest shit I've ever seen. Right next to this: https://mangadex.org/title/6966/centaur-s-worries I read this from mangahere because there are no english translations for the latest chapters in mangadex.
Don't think I've seen anyone post this one here yet. https://mangadex.org/title/25862/pashiri-na-boku-to-koisuru-banchou-san
Ragna Crimson https://mangadex.org/title/21599/ragna-crimson The art's great, the scanlators are excellent and sometimes go above and beyond in their translations, and the story and characters work in a way that you wouldn't expect.
Came across a good one that I couldn't help but binge read. https://mangadex.org/title/20523/beastars/chapters/2/
Is the manga actually coming to a closure or is still missing any resemblance of plot and plot progression?
There's actually been some major plot reveals and they're actually coming into direct conflict with the Yonko. It still moves at a snail's pace though.
there is always plot progression in One Piece, it just moves very slowly. I think a couple years ago the author said that the story has already passed it's halfway point and he's increasing the pace for latter parts of the story. But it'll still take about 7 to 8 years for it to finish.
D-do ... do you have a ... a s-source on t-that?
I think I read it in an interviews a couple years ago, probably around the time the FILM GOLD released
Just began this one myself. Pretty excited to see where it goes but I'm still super early in it.
You wouldn't say this, if you actually ever read the series. One Piece has, just like the other user said, always progression. Simplified it's a journey from A to B. Every island they reach, they are one step closer to the final island. But that's just the most basic answer. They have reached the second half of the world many many (real life-)years ago. They are taking on the strongest pirates currently. There have been major plot reveals in every arc, important characters that have been hinted at, have been revealed. There is so much foreshadowing that has turned out to be true, moving the story forward. It always moves. Just because the manga is long, doesn't mean that it has no story, lol. The manga is long because the story is huge. You just need to look up the amount of theories that readers create based on the evidence and hints the writer gives. One Piece has one of the biggest over-arching story lines I have ever seen in manga. It's absolutely impressive what Oda is doing with it, story-wise. And the ending seems to be mind-blowing when I look at really good theories. He is already a really good writer when it comes to world-building and foreshadowing. But his main story line of One Piece is something that is built through so many arcs, even going back to his beginnings in the early 2000. You should definitely pay attention when reading the manga, instead of making statements like that. This guy has entire books with ideas and notes just for specific characters even. He really cares about the story and all the stuff he puts in, shows. Sometimes the pace is too slow, but we have reached the final third of the manga and the pace will less hit long stretches, as for example Dressrosa had. Back when Marine Ford was done, the manga reached the end of the first half. That was in 2009(?) When Dressrosa ended, 70% of the manga was complete, according to Oda. I have been reading the series for 14 years and follow pretty much every interview by this guy . The manga will most likely end (my assumption) between chapter 1100 and 1200. We have about 8 years left, as the other user said. Maybe 9, given Oda's health issues that forces him to take more breaks than other writers.
One Piece have really picked up the pace especially in the recent arcs, which I presume is due to Oda's health reason causing him to try to wrap up everything while he still can.
Not just that, the manga has reached its final third and Oda has tons of story lines introduced hundreds of chapters earlier which he is now picking up because it makes sense now. It helps with the pace too. Health-wise he has gotten a lot better, compared to 6-7 years ago. I still remember him getting his liver operated. Back then he ate really unhealthy, was chainsmoking all the time and had back pain pretty much every week. Now it's a lot better. He eats a lot more healthy food, more vegetables, smokes less and visits a chiropractor once a week. But Shonen Jump fears that he might get issues again so they give him a break every 4-5 weeks. It's something to keep in mind since breaks also drag the pace down of a manga. For those unaware of the working-conditions of Mangaka, it's "normal" for them to work like 90 hours a week with barely any free time left. I once saw the timetable of some other manga author and he had like 3-4 hours of free time per week. Rest is working and a bit of sleeping. Oda occasionally works on movies too and his workload increases to 125 hours a week when he is working on a movie like OP Gold. Sleeps only 2-3 hours a day while doing several 20 minute naps during the day. He said in an interview that it helps him "keeping focused."
Oda is a particular case because his extreme workload seems largely self-inflicted on top of the overbearing workload that weekly Jump authors have to deal with. There's an interview where his editor says that the first thing Oda told him was to "die for one piece".
