[Webcomic] Sinfest

All right new thing to recommend this week!  It’s the webcomic Sinfest by some dude named Tatsuya Ishida.  I don’t really know how to describe the comic though.  It’s a comic about nothing really, but it totally works.  I guess it’s a slice of fantasy life webcomic?  It’s got God and Satan, the artist, girls, boys, references, just about everything.  It has mini arcs sometimes, and sometimes it has a side-series thing.  There’s a few times where there’s a side gag strip;  Something like a bit called “You Had to be There”  where you’re only just getting the last bit of a conversation, or more commonly, a strip where a character transforms into a kanji character throughout the four panels.  It’s pretty fun and whimsical with some commentary about everything really.  So go check it out!

[Manga] Mysterious Girlfriend X

All right my first weird shit post for recommendation.   Mysterious Girlfriend X by  Ueshiba Riichi is an ongoing romance manga with a twist.  The main character becomes addicted to the strange transfer student’s…drool.   Yes that’s right drool. Saliva.  One can’t forget about the scissors she keeps in her panties either.  A pretty unusual element to a pretty standard beginners love / romantic story, and luckily the story holds up.   I love the manga to death, despite my initial misgivings about the art style.  I really wish there were more odd sort of things like this around.  I know (and will probably post about) a few but something that’s kind of strange in an otherwise completely normal setting just gets me more than the average romantic school life manga.  Unfortunately there’s no english version so you’re stuck reading scanlations and such, but this series is totally worth it.  If there’s ever an english translation to buy I recommend buying the fuck out of it, I sure would.  So do a quick google search and check that shit out.
