The only isekai x sport I can think of is the baseball one. Which is pretty good if u haven’t read that.
I think made-up sports are too hard to do. Even Keijo is really just wrestling with special rules. Made-up board games, on the other hand, seems far more common. They had one in Hunter x Hunter (ant arc), Love is War had a few (thanks to Fujiwara and board game club), and Sket-dance had them. Many gambling mangas also have their own board or card games.
Can’t think of many fictional sports besides Genesis in Sket-dance. I don’t particularly like the sport but it was still hilarious
Same. IIRC I started reading that in 2021, I followed it until graduation, but dropped it soon after. The releases got slower and the story no longer felt interesting. Such a shame
Why would it take a scientist to demonstrate metric system…? Everything is in powers of 10. How hard is that to explain?
“Damaged sector” - words I never thought I’d see again
This entire manga has been one loooooong build up. I really hope it pays off
Imo Love is War is one of the best romcoms in the last decade. Most romcoms have to constantly introduce new romantic interests to stay fresh, but Love is War kept it strong from beginning to end without ever really doing that. The anime was superb as well.
I tried Gabriel Dropout but stopped reading about chapter… 30-40 I think. I think the setting has potential but Gabriel is just too annoying to me. And I feel sorry for the devils who get shafted all the time.
If Onizuka interests you as a character, I strongly suggest reading “Shonan Junai Gumi”, prequel to GTO. The art is crude in comparison, and the story and characters don’t really take shape until a few volumes, but it gives you great insight on both Onizuka and his pal Ryuuji
Started reading Dungeon Meshi since ppl were recommending it. Damn, it’s way better than I expected. Lots of innovative ideas and the world building is topnotch. Can’t wait for the anime!
Also started reading Aishiteru Game. Pretty typical romcom, but I’m a sucker for casual romcoms, and the art is pretttty good. Only on chapter 11, hoping it remains strong
Izumi showing his gamer soul, wants to keep playing after a win
I only like a few VRMMO mangas but this one has been great so far. I really hope the anime can make the fight scenes come to life.
I’ve read the whole thing, but skimmed most of the later chapters. I’m afraid it doesn’t get much better. Compared to Ranma and Inuyasha, it is much much much more episodic. There are no arcs and rarely any long stories that span more than 1-2 chapters. The stories become very repetitive too given how long the series lasted. The story does develop but it’s very slow.
