Tue, 26 Nov 2013 04:00:59 +0000https://joechip.net/extensivereading/?p=881#comment-50854Oh, not at all, thank you for all the recommendations! I’ve looked into them a bit and they all sound very tempting :) I’m so happy you came up with so many fun things for me to try! (But I’ll probably start with the free one ;) A little broke at the moment…) Thank you!

Mon, 25 Nov 2013 07:48:19 +0000https://joechip.net/extensivereading/?p=881#comment-50685Here’s another rec: You might like to read Home, by Ueda Rinko. You can find it for free on J-Comi in the Shoujo section. It’s a historical romance between a Spanish girl and a Japanese boy, set in the 1600s. It’s only 2 volumes so it’s a really quick read, and I really like Ueda Rinko’s art.
Also, if you like Silver Spoon you might get a kick out of reading Fullmetal Alchemist, the author’s other well-known work; a lot of the characters have almost exactly the same design, which I found really funny when I first read Silver Spoon. (Fullmetal Alchemist is also a really good manga in its own right and has some of my favorite manga characters, too.)
(P.S. I hope you don’t mind my spamming this post!)

Sat, 09 Nov 2013 21:29:23 +0000https://joechip.net/extensivereading/?p=881#comment-48877And another recommendation: I just finished a really good shoujo manga called Shinobi Life. It starts out when a ninja accidentally time-slips to the present day and attaches himself to the descendant of the woman he originally worked for, and gets more complicated from there with everyone bouncing around the timelines. It’s both a really good romance and a really good time-travel story, and the art is very pretty.

Sun, 03 Nov 2013 20:39:00 +0000https://joechip.net/extensivereading/?p=881#comment-48321I really like the Silver Spoon manga, although I’ve only read it in English so far.
Off the top of my head I think I’ll suggest Hoshi no Hitomi no Silhouette (with the caveat that I haven’t finished it yet but what I have read is really good). It’s a mostly character-driven love & friendship story, and so far it’s really sweet. The mangaka had another work that was adapted by Studio Ghibli some time ago.
Since you put down Slam Dunk, you might want to check out Kuroko no Basuke, which is another basketball manga that has people really excited these days.
Finally, I’ll recommend Hikaru no Go, mostly because I think everyone should read it but it’s also really good. It’s about a teenager trying to make his way to the top of the professional Go world and the challenges that he and his rivals face.
I’m actually supposed to be doing homework right now, but when I have some time to go a bit more in-depth I’ll send you some more suggestions.

Sun, 03 Nov 2013 05:50:28 +0000https://joechip.net/extensivereading/?p=881#comment-48289Oh, thank you! I’d love some suggestions. Hmm… What I like best are stories that are slice-of-life, but it’s a slice of an interesting life, without a huge amount of interpersonal drama or meanness. I went nuts for the Silver Spoon anime, and I was thinking I’d like to start reading the manga. I like stories like that, where the drama comes from the setting and the external challenges. I have a weakness for shoujo manga and pretty drawings and love stories, but I hate hate hate the whole “he’s so aloof and near-abusive, but that just means his love will be worth more in the end!” trope. I really like historical fiction, and will forgive any amount of the stuff I usually don’t like if everyone is wearing great clothes. Other anime/manga I like: Ouran High School Host Club, Ōoku (I have book 1 in Japanese, but the only reason I know what’s going on is that I’ve read it in English), The Idolmaster, Slam Dunk, Naruto, Tiger and Bunny, Jellyfish Princess, Steins;Gate, Yakitate Japan … Kind of all over the place. Things I don’t like: random zany humor, stories where the heroine is constantly bullied, really contrived situations that just exist to promote stupid misunderstandings. I don’t know if that’s helpful :)
Thank you for pointing me to J-Comi! I didn’t know about it, and I will definitely check it out further when I have some time!

Fri, 01 Nov 2013 22:04:08 +0000https://joechip.net/extensivereading/?p=881#comment-48236I read tons of manga, so I might be able to give you some recommendations. What kind of fiction genres do you generally like?
Also, have you ever visited J-Comi? They offer a large selection of manga to read legally on their site.
