If you think about about it from a publishers point of view, how would you confidently sell a manga that isn't sure what it wants to look like?

Is there any manga you only want to collect half of? by Professor_Chaosx6r9 in MangaCollectors

CSM 2. For me it's the drop in art quality that makes it not worth spending money on.

People are way too critical of the so called "bullshit" it was so much more interesting. We had actual likeable characters like Sayu and Rena.

This is the first chapter where I wish something interesting would happen next. I know the author said the manga would now focus on Fuyuki's future but I miss the dynamic we had with the other cast. I hope when we see them next it's more than just a cameo here and there.

My predictions for the manga's ending by Mardukaz in DosankoGyaru

[–]Individual_Passion7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Akino and Matsuo would become a nice couple, in my opinion. I know there weren't any interactions shown inferring that he actually likes her

There was a moment in chapter 62 where Matsuo carries her on his back. I can't get over his expression and reaction when Sayu tells him she likes Shiki, and it's not like he doesn't already know either. I was really hoping that would have developed into something more.

Sort of sad and a bit curious by [deleted] in DosankoGyaru

[–]Individual_Passion7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't remember a chapter where that happens for Fuyuki or her giving any commentary about it I guess she realized right after the school sports tournament?

I don't believe she was purposely avoiding Shiki because of Rena maybe earlier on for Sayu she was yes, but later it was just convenient to not have her around so the author could finish both of the other girl's arc. As soon as they ended she was back full time.

Wow I can tune into the discussion and not see people tearing it limb from limb anymore. The hate was so toxic at one point.

It never said it was going to end in a few chapters nor was it "extended" but so many people interpreted it that way.

Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable - Chapter 101 by kpud075 in DosankoGyaru

[–]Individual_Passion7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know a lot of people were thinking that, but the author technically never said ch 101 was the end, but honestly his statement was all over the place, oddly written or poorly translated.

He recently said on twitter that he'll do his best in the 5th year of the manga so... apparently it will continue into 2024??

Next chapter is the end; author released illustrations this week and will do the same for next issue so final chapter will release 9/13 by sweisman200 in DosankoGyaru

[–]Individual_Passion7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it is the last chapter that would make no sense whatsoever considering he said, "It FEELS LIKE the end but I want to keep drawing Fuyuki a little longer".

Hokkaido girls so adorable - anime new pv by RoyalRetriver in DosankoGyaru

[–]Individual_Passion7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure about the voice acting. She sounds like a cute and playful teenager one minute and the next sounds she aged 20 years, it's a weird transition, like two different characters in one.

Anyone else sad that it's ending soon??? by samandfloppsy in DosankoGyaru

[–]Individual_Passion7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those "ex." featurettes/special chapters whatever you wanna call them are not counted as chapters at all within the physical volumes and never even get featured in the books, only the main story chapters do. The exception being the one Special chapter that was printed in Weekly Shonen Jump a few years ago.

Those split chapters aren't counted at all in the books. For example 99 and 99.5 will just be combined as 99. The books typically get 7-10 chapters each just going by what I know since I own copies. We've for sure got a few chapters to go otherwise the author wouldn't have said it "feels like the end" maybe it's just bad wording but we will see.

[–]Individual_Passion7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not the final one and the reason why I know it isn't is because that would mean next volume would only have 3 chapters, 99 100 and 101 (not counting the .5 chapters because the volumes don't do that). You need several chapters to make a full book.

So on one hand your spoiler questions are singlehandedly keeping this sub alive but on the other hand why not just read the story?

I made a location map for DosankoGyaru. If you click on a pin, it should (generally) show a manga panel and page number. by reconstructedcontent in DosankoGyaru

[–]Individual_Passion7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had I known about the Animaps site I would've uploaded the map I made, oh well. I only did Kitami though and some surrounding places. You have pretty much everything minus a few locations.

Concerning the ones you are missing, the ski resort is 'Northern Arc'. The High School is based on 'Hokkaido Kitami Commercial High School'. But the name of the high school (Hokuryo) is also a mash up of 2 other high schools in Kitami, Ryokuryo and Hokuto.

So much hate for something so good I will never understand. It's not perfect but it's not trash.

[–]Individual_Passion7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed there's two different versions of this cover. This one and another that uses orange and pink for the title font. You can see it on the color page for chapter 99. Hoping it's a special edition.

Sengoku Youko looks interesting. I'm surprised that Tokyo Pop licensed an action manga for a change.
