hey. read dorehedoro. seriously, one of the best mangas ever. its an amazingly original, funny, cool, interesting story. it does take a while to get into it. i didnt like it at first. but i forced myself ’cause so many other people were talking about how awesome it was.

and indeed, it truly is awesome.

Bokurano Ours, interesting premise, but didn’t captivate me. I’ll give it a couple more chapters before I make a final decision.

Dorohedoro I liked the set up. Am interested to learn more about the world, but not the charaters. Worried this is going to fall flat once my interest in the set up ends.

I’ll Give It My All…Tomorrow I liked it. It’s odd and a little creepy, but attention getting. I’m going to stick around to see how this develops.

Saturn Apartments, this and Kingyou Used Books are tied for favorite of the new titles. Great central character and great set up. One chapter in and I’m already emotionally attached.

I had similar thoughts as well
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Bokurano, so I’m looking forward to that.
The art style and the violence in Dorohedoro are big turn-offs, though the fantasy aspect is interesting. I might give it another chapter or two.
I’ll Give My All was actually kind of funny, but not something I see myself following.
Saturn Apartments looks amazing! I too thought of Planetes (an adorable version of Planetes).

I don’t really like reading manga online and only skimmed through these, so I’ll most likely just wait for the print versions of the ones I’m interested in (which from this back would be Bokurano and Saturn Apartments)

My impressions are almost identical to yours. I liked Saturn Apartments the best, definitely, and I didn’t even make it past the first pages of Dorohedoro; it’s just so dense and dark that it seemed headache-inducing to read.

I’m really looking forward to next week’s debut of Afterschool Charisma.

Oh heck yeah. Bokurano is twisty like a cruller. And heart-breaky. It hurts. But good. I look forward to having an official version.

I think almost all of these series would read better in print — or when there are more chapters available. It’s tough to tell much from the first only, which is why it’s great that these are free to sample!

Bokurano’s first three chapters suffer from introducing all the characters at once, but after that it begins delving into the lives of each of them in turn, which is the real meat of it. And there are definitely twists.

(I read a large chunk of it when a legit translation looked unlikely. Not being in the US, I’ll buy the trades if they print them.)
