>no English scans ftfy
>Toppuu GP (new manga by Aa! Megami-sama! creator) there's nothing this guy can do that will be better than being 50 y/o and marrying a hot 20 y/o cosplayer
Gabriel Cox
>The Promised Neverland >To You, The Immortal(new manga by Koe no Katachi creator) These two are the best ones in that list.
Nathan Rivera
I only picked up a handful of series because they were by eromangaka that I like, and the best among them is Oroka na Tenshi wa Akuma to Odoru. In general following manga as they're serialized is too much work for me, plus there's no guarantee what you want will actually be scanned.
Ryder Harris

>The Promised Neverland just according to keikaku (keikaku means plan) >Yuna of Yuragi Manor generic harem ecchi, the comedy isn't even funny >Kimetsu no Yaiba I like this, but it's inconsistent, sometimes the art and writing are good and other times it's not >Fire Punch This started good then became bad and now it's enjoyable again >Sayonara Watashi no Cramer (new manga by Your Lie in April creator) Never read this, but girl soccer manga sound like something I'd enjoy >Kanata no Astra (new manga by Sket Dance creator) AssClass in Space >World's End Harem generic hentai manga >Uratarou (new manga by Nejimaki Kagyuu creator) a battle shonen disguised as a seinen >Black Night Parade (new manga by Arakawa Under the Bridge creator) the raw looks freaky >To You, The Immortal(new manga by Koe no Katachi creator) It's fine, Koe no Katachi fags are overhyping it >Vector Ball (new manga by Gash Bell creator) 2 volumes in and nothing makes sense, I trust the mangaka but this is frustrating >Hoshino, close your eyes. never read this, look like a generic ecchi shit >Toppuu GP (new manga by Aa! Megami-sama! creator) unless Kodansha USA make the chapters free I can't read this >Maou-jou de Oyasumi Comfy >RYOKO Toriko with a loli mc
Ryan Robinson
Part 2 >Komi-san wa, Community-shou desu. very Sundayish manga >Shitei Bouryoku Shoujo Shiomi-chan (new manga by Midori no Hibi creator) gender bender trash >Origin (new manga by Sun-ken Rock creator) It's awful just like everything by Boichi >Souboutei Kowasubeshi (new manga by Ushio to Tora creator) Never like Fujita either >Yuukoku no Moriarty (new manga by All You Need Is Kill manga adaptation writer and Psycho Pass manga comicalization artist) fujos shit >Shounen Shoujo (new manga by Medaka Box duo) edgy shit >Master Grape (new manga by Bamboo Blade writer) I will read if scanlated >Kaiou Dante (new manga by Peace Maker creator, he only does the art) The art is just unappealing to me >Rokudou no Onnatachi a harem with deliquents girls, please someone transelate this >Atsumare! Fushigi Kenkyuubu (new manga by Shinryaku! Ika Musume creator) nothing like Squid Girl at all >Owari no Chi, Asanagi Gurashi Dungeon Meshi ripoff
Landon Rivera
>Toppu GP >Licensed by Kodansha USA Fuck that.
Xavier Carter
I'm too much of a pleb to speak nip, so I don't know. The things I'm most interested in are probably At the Mountains of Madness (fuck you, there's no reason to exclude adaptations), Kuuden Noise no Himegimi, that new Ono Natsume manga, and that new Hanawa one, but only Himegimi has anything (one chapter) translated.
Austin Campbell
>To You, The Immortal This is shaping up to be total shit.
Ayden Flores
Nirvana started this year too.
Julian Rivera
>AssClass in Space More like Sketdan in space. Or, was there antagonist introduced? >It's fine, Koe no Katachi fags are overhyping it It's not even popular >gender bender trash Why?
Brandon Harris
>More like Sketdan in space. Or, was there antagonist introduced? I'm talking about all the melodrama and parents victimizing their children to a silly extent >Why Shitei Bouryoku Shoujo Shiomi-chan is trash? "get a chance to start you life all over again" *go to fucking high school*
Nathaniel Baker
>Oroka na Tenshi wa Akuma to Odoru Did more chapters ever get translated?
Jayden Butler
Murenase! Shiiton Gakuen
Carson Barnes
No, I read the raws. Although the raws themselves are 2 chapters behind since no one scans Dengeki Maoh at all.
Jacob Lewis
>I'm talking about all the melodrama and parents victimizing their children to a silly extent Did it happen there?>"get a chance to start you life all over again" >*go to fucking high school* Well, he is now young girl
Zachary Phillips
Got a link to the raws? I'd like to read more of it myself, the first chapter was pretty good.
Ethan Hughes
The first tankoubon is up on PD, I don't know if it's uploaded elsewhere and I don't want to upload it elsewhere myself.
Ryan Robinson
>PD Figures, I've never been able to get that to work. Hope someone uploads it somewhere else then.
Zachary Green
>Did it happen there? off the top of my head: the principle hate his son the singer hate her daughter mc's dad is pushing his dreams on him black chick mom didn't tell her about adopting her sister...
>Well, he is now young girl so? that doesn't mean he have to go to school
Landon Davis
Fire punch was absolutely terrible. Biggest wankfest I ever seen. I was hyped for it too after the oneshot...
Luke Russell
>the principle hate his son >the singer hate her daughter >mc's dad is pushing his dreams on him >black chick mom didn't tell her about adopting her sister... All that happened in Kanata no astra? >so? that doesn't mean he have to go to school It's a comedy, what's your problem? There was no oneshot. Rello (RIP) mislabeled the chapter
Jeremiah Bell
I really like Kimetsu, I think Neverland is pretty ok and I haven't tried out any of the others.
