Murcielago Thread

Yen Press release was meh but at least they're getting out 4 volumes this year.

Damn, so that means we have to wait until next year for them to catch up with scanlations?

Till late next year, CXC got to about half way through vol 7.

Is this the manga with the giant muscle girl?

Amazonian bartender waifu yes.

I could have sworn they were almost done with volume 7

I need to read this manga.

I don't know how far CXC got into volume 7, but in japan they're on volume 9

It's personally my favorite. It's edgy but not to the point of pure cringe, and funny but not to the point where it detracts from the manga. It's an action/horror with yuri because if the main character was a guy their actions would be horrifying. I highly recommend it.

Essentially it's a yuri version of Hellsing starring Rip Van Wrinkle

Kuroko's character design inspired off Rip Van Winkle from Hellsing from what I've heard. I can't complain about that tho, Rip Van Winkle looked great.

I didn't know anyone on Sup Forums ready this. Anime fucking WHEN

>Yen Press release was meh
I found it perfectly fine.
Typsetting could have been better though.

What is that gif from?

As for the release, being meh, it may have just been because I read the scans many times before the print version ever came out, but it seemed like they just made the word choice poor intentionally because they didn't want to copy the free scans. For example in Murder party instead of Kuroko and Conrad saying "I don't care" they say "i dunno about that" in the yen press version. I'm just glad I can own it in english.

Also anime would be amazing, I'm just worried ti would be butchered with censorship.

>What is that gif from?
I made it.
Not even Kuroko can pull off the fedora look well.

It looks like they're going for a traditional detective look so it makes sense that she's got one. The best look is definitely the suit (at least up until vol 7)

You do

That gif was made by /u/. You can still find it in Murcielago thread over there.

Please link me there.

Use the catalogue faggot

I know, I posted it there too

Found it. I thought it would be burred because not enough people care about this manga. Which is incredibly unfortunate.

/u/ likes it but there are no new releases for a long time.

An anime would boost its popularity big time

A Murcielago anime could single handedly trigger an entire political movement of soccer moms and conservatives trying to protect their chilluns from Japanese lewdness and hyper violence.

If Valkyrie Drive can air and nobody bats an eye, Murcielago should be fine, right?

I don't remember the part of Valkyrie drive where the MC curbstomped a highschooler to death and made a bunch fight for their survival .

they were bullies so it's ok

Did they jump the shark? I don't remember much but up til then wasn't she was kinda redeemable?

she's always been a serial killer

Oh hey I remembered this, opened up with this girl having lesbian sex with some other girl while casually talking to a side protagonist

Didn't continue it for some reason, does it have an anime yet?

my mistake, they were bullies so it's ok

>does it have an anime yet?
No, because we live in an unjust universe

anime fucking when

No it was just particularly brutal. It does a good job with it's brutality, it has just enough to remind the reader that Kuroko is a horrible human being, but not enough to the point where it feels needlessly edgy.

Probably never but we can dream.

No but it should.

Glasses Kuroko is cute

Such a weird body design. Like they gave her a big rack but her body is ultimately puppet-like and not really sexual.

The artist never draws her consistently. Sometime's she is attractive, and sometimes she has yaoi proportions

Goddamn I love this manga.

I think it kind of works on occasion. Sometimes Kuroko looks butch and has the extreme CLAMP proportions, while other times she has a far more feminine figure.

I think the strange proportions are intentional. She's supposed to be attractive but as her true character is revealed her character design becomes less and less human. Could be symbolic, could be for artistic effect but I think it's a good addition to the story.

However, early on I think the author was unsure about just how ridiculous she wanted to make the manga so it gets more consistent as the volumes go on.

Hate to burst your bubble, but I'm pretty sure Yoshimura Kanna is a guy.

What's wrong with the english release? I have it ordered and haven't read any scanlations.

I just assumed it was a girl because Kanna is a girl in the dragon show.

It's probably only going to be noticeable if you read the CXC version, I just preferred a lot of their world choices

A lot of people dislike Yen Press for how their release schedules for new titles seem to be incredibly slow and also how they drop translations for no reason.

The author's gender came up because there was a disclaimer for people applying for internships/assistant positions: "No Females Allowed."

He's probably the only Mangaka that "Gets" /u/ stuff though. And his Twitter had a couple of rants about what "Real Yuri: is to him.

>there was a disclaimer for people applying for internships/assistant positions: "No Females Allowed."

I don't understand?
He didn't want female assistants or is there some sort of no gender mixing rule?

No gender-mixing rule, I think. Or that's what /u/ concluded.

Also holy shit this series is a goldmine for reaction pics.

If Yen Press drops it and CXC doesn't pick it back up I'm going to cry.

>this series is a goldmine for reaction pics.

...

I know right?

I've been meaning to go back and mine Murcielago for all reaction faces and editable content but have been to lazy to do so for awhile. Most of them need some editing but it's not particularly difficult.

This girl is my daughter.

Whwn will kuroko fuck the main loli?

I hope not because then you were killed by the protagonist a long time ago.

i await the day for lewds

>Implying she's a girl

Who needs lewds when the source is already so sexual as it is?

Someone's going to commission a fuckton of Murcielago hentai and THEN it's going to get an anime in response.

I'm watching over her from the afterlife together with you all.

I mean, you said it.

Fuck man I just made this thread to post about murcielago, not to find out that I'm an etheral being that exists in the afterlife of this very comic

That someone is going to be you, right?

Our world is the afterlife. The 2D world is the real deal.

I've been incredibly tempted and have already commissioned a couple of fan arts for Murcielago (non NSFW) and I posted one of them already in . What artist should I commission?

I thought the afterlife was supposed to be better.

Just noticed this got released in german too.
Now I don't have to buy overpriced Yen Press.

til i'm in hell

Who told you that?

So we were characters that were killed in the 2d world?

Released by yen press in German?

Doesn't this just prove that yurifags are literal male homosexuals?

That's what I'm getting at? Not necessarily killed though. You might've died of natural causes, or have succumbed to a sickness.

This is getting off topic, post more Murcielago.

This.

No, by a german publisher.
Released at pretty much the same time too.

...

>This girl is my daughter.

She can do anything

Even pilot a giant robot

And do pic related.

Who's that by? I need more GOOD murcielago fan art in my life.

I'dunno, I grabbed it from /r9k/ of all places.

Do they scan yen press
why was this dropped meshi still translates it even when yen press took it

I heard CXC got a Cease-and-Desist, but they claim that they "Didn't want to step on Yen Press's turf" or something.

Yen Press sells digital volumes for like 6 bucks.
Even if they did get scanned, you would have to wait awhile before they catch up to CXC

What was that doing there?

This is something I can see the Drifters anime staff pulling off for the blood and stylized violence

And maybe having Tsutomu Mizushima directing since he's has a knack for over-the-top violence and black comedy

Can anyone pull the posters off the links on this site? I click the links and they just go to nothing.

square-enix.co.jp/magazine/yg/introduction/murcielago/

No clue. I've seen Murcielago art turn up as far as /tg/ and even hidden boards like /qst/ & /trash/.

It does have pretty good reaction faces.

>Let a serial killer loose
>Don't actually watch to make sure she isn't killing again, which she is
What is wrong with the police/government in this universe?

Collateral damage, they just write it off

Is this series still good if I don't like dykeshit?

Not only is she killing but she is assembling a harem army of horny lesbian killers

There are things in this universe that normal people can't even begin to comprehend, let alone try and fight. For that shit, you bring in "Specialists" like Kuroko.

Hell, the first chapter alone had a Hugo-from-Street Fighter-wannabe ripping people in half and stopping bullets with his skin alone.

Crime is so bad that she still reduces it, even if she commits some herself. It's also hinted that there are ulterior motives for keeping her alive and they haven't even explored how she got caught in the first place yet.

They watch a little.

Top brass doesn't seem to care as long as she's the lesser of two evils.

If Kuroko was a guy her behavior would be so abhorrent that it would turn a lot of people off. Since she's a lesbian it's a lot funnier that she basically lives to fuck and kill.

My biggest complaint about this manga are the absurd tit sizes that are constantly changing.

What are the odds of Kuroko getting any action from this dungarees-wearing, brown slut?

It's cute that you're assuming they'll actually get there instead of cancelling and shelving it by next year.

you better not let that happen. Buy their releases you fuckers

Fuck off, shill
