Seconds

Why does Sup Forums seem to really hate this book? I thought it was pretty fun

I like it. I tend to here positive vibes about it here, especially in comparison to Scott Pilgrim.

rushed
shit ending
protagonist learned nothing

Never thought anyone here hated it the arts great and the story's damn good

This. Despite the calarts meme, I liked the Dr slump style approach to art in this book

I didn't even know Sup Forums had a position on the book.

I liked it, overall. The story was good and the art was very pleasant.

I never heard of this book, I just recognize the author.

But I am a pretty big Toriyama fan. What exactly is this book?

I guess I assumed it's stance was bad

Last time it was brought up everyone said it was bad, but I personally LOVED it, and the protagonist is pretty much me.

It's basically about a scientist who creates a young girl robot named arale who ironically needs glasses. There's all sorts of really wacky characters like suppaman ( a knockoff superman) that show up in the series. It even crossed over with dbz.

It was meh hopefully Snot Girl is better.

Fucker, I was about to make this thread. I only read up to chapter 2 or 3. Seemed ok, kinda interesting plothook. Normal O'Malley handful of likable and unlikable characters

There was a story time of this last year. I wish I could have caught it....

Bought it the first day and read the whole thing in one sitting that night because I was so immersed. It's very pretty.

The protagonist doesn't really have a completed character arc, and you could argue she "cheats" her way to a happy ending, but O'Malley himself was detached when he was finishing up the story. There's so much of his personal life jammed into the subtext, the happy ending makes me feel sad because it comes across as what Bryan thinks all people deserve to have love, even as he's undergoing a brutal divorce with a woman he's loved for years, and slowly revealed herself to be a bitch using an sjw agenda as an excuse to ruin Bryan's life.

Bryan Lee O'Malley is an overrated hack.

His wife is really cute though.

I meant the OP comic.
I know about Dr. Slump I got pretty much all of the stuff Toriyama's had released in english

Best girl

>shitty protag with basically no character arc
>rushed ending
>she got back with her old BF in the end
The art was... cute. I guess.

I'll be looking out for Snot Girl though.

...

To add to that, nice as the art is, it's impossible for me to see the MC as a 27 year old due to it and her actions. She's insufferable.

All I've noticed is that it's never been storytimed here, and the only people who talk about it have read it.

Didn't ever know about this thanks for the heads up looks neat

It has when it first came out fool that when I read it

what?! how bad was their divorce?

>and slowly revealed herself to be a bitch using an sjw agenda as an excuse to ruin Bryan's life.

Care to elaborate?

After all this time I'm still fixated on O'Malley's ugly-ass skeleton drawings in that once scene

What is Bryan up to nowadays?

Someone please storytime this...

I thought it was a fun book, though I can see why people might be mad at the seemingly perfect ending.

A nice perspective on the story would be that Katie's adventure was just a really bad acid trip, as she lay in the hospital bed, since the doctor noted how they found nothing but mushrooms in her stomach.

He's about to release his new book in a month, it's called Snotgirl

Seconding, i really wanna read something like this

Doing a comic with Leslie Hung called Snotgirl. It's published by Image and I think it's coming pretty soon. He's also doing some other long form work but I don't think he's really talked about what it is yet.

I agree. Thirding

Couldn't finish reading 'cause of how much I disliked the protagonist.

Elaborate. I want to know if Ramona Flowers stopped being a huge cunt.

I'm mad he gave me another waifu that I know will never exist.

Fuck reality.

From what little's been revealed on his blog, apparently she wanted to try an "open relationship", which basically translated to her fucking a dozen dudes while Bryan worked. There was also the matter that, since she also makes graphic novel/comics, she was relying on Bryan's name to push her own mediocre work (although her art's not bad), but he didn't really mind that stuff. He was just really uncomfortable about his wife never being around, and openly admitting to having sex all the time with strangers. When he brought it up, she acted insulted and wanted to divorce.

link?

bryan?

It was at one point on his RadioMaru blog. I'm trying to find it, but navigating a tumblr archive if you don't remember where the post was made is tiring.

>asspull guess
>assumes Sup Forums hates it

I'd hate you, but it's true.

Can't find the original post. According to radiomaru.tumblr.com/post/95871346848 it might be gone for good.

Have a rare lewd Bryan art to compensate.

Watch it get reported and pulled, despite being completely on topic and non-pornographic (nudity and sex aren't inherently pornographic).

mfw this girl exists
mfw it's my 16 year old stepsister

So all you've gotta do is wait 2 years, lucky.

Why tge hate fir o'malley? He may be flawed but I think he's an alright guy.

>waiting
Honestly fampai, it'd never happen. I shall dream though

> Mfw I'm 18 and can technically get her with no problems

Well I never said how old I was anyway. What sucks is she'll switch between being an adorable, beautiful brown girl to acting like a dumb, spoiled blonde bitch.

Storytime? Storytime.

> sjw agenda
> sleeping around
I've seen sjws promote this behavior, but i thought she wasn't sjw

I like you, user

...

I ain't never read this shit nigga. I always forget it exists before I even consider pirating it, mush less reading it. So I'm thankful someone is storytiming it.

If this user plans to storytime the whole thing, good on him. It'll take a while

Appreciate ya!

Yeah, its 300+ pages...

Plus, I am at work, so if something happens, worst case is I continue it tonight.

>tfw 30 and finding a QT 18 year old is out of my age range now

Jeez, that sounds like a multiple day sort of thing.

...

Not really. I storytimed Scott Pilgrim V1-6 in a weekend, so only one book should be ok.

Hang in there, user!
Keep the dream alive and never give up!

...

the book took a different direction from what I expected, but overall was ok. fuck the chad boyfriend tho.
I keep my hopes up for his next work

Op here. Thanks user!

My pleasure, OP!

...

aight I found my Snot Girl pics from the last Seconds thread
I'll dump em after the storytime/ when I get back from the gym

Good, because you're creepy and probably a closeted pedo.

This guy sure likes to write about shitty people as protagonists.

Sounds good, user.

>forgetting that children eventually grow up when you don't see them for years
Yeah.

Yeah I've been there.
