Don't cry, man.
Here, have some jello.

Kubera is awesome, and a lot of the other recommendations are good as well, but how about some webcomic action in here?

 

Gunnerkrigg Court (http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1) is one of the best things I have read in the comic format. The art is a bit rough in the beginning but gets great relatively quickly. The main characters are two girls Annie, who is a bit magic, and Kat, who is a scientific genius. It's a fairly mature story about these two girls growing up in a weird place and dealing with robots, mythical beings, and a ton of intrigue.

 

The other is Bad Machinery (http://scarygoround.com/?date=20090921). This one is a British comic about a bunch of kids that solve mysteries. There are two "teams", the girls and the boys, but basically the language is hilarious and awesome, and Charlotte "Lottie" Grote is the best. THE BEST!

Did ToG just change weekdays? I was checking to see if he had a Q/A chapter or something, but now it's in a different tab. (I wish they had kept the old format, it was great for people who didn't speak Korean. >.>)

But it is still in top of Monday, where it has been forever?

Well, it's confirmed SIU is in hiatus now. He is going to be back in the end of June or beginning of July if treatment goes well.

well im going to re-read it all again and see if i missed any spelling mistakes in it.

My recomendation for people looking for something to read: Shin angyo onshi, Berserk, angel densetsu, holyland, suicide island, kurogane (toume kei), midori no hibi, monster, ares, mugen no juunin, MX0, NHK ni youkoso, oanni master kurosawa, school rumble, sundome, Alive, Tsubasa: reservoir chronicle and xxx holic.  

There are great works for all kinds of taste.

Yep, almost same like me in recommendation. I like those because of plot, art isn't priority for me since I already enjoy One Piece and OnePunch Man.

Other good recommendations: Id - The Greatest Fusion Fantasy, Kingdom, Sentou Jousai Masurawo, Sangokushi, Special Martial Arts Extreme Hell Private High School, Maoyuu Maou Yuusha - "Be Mine, Hero!" "I Refuse!", Psyren, Ah! My Goddess, City of the Dead Sorcerer

There are more but I guess I will stop for now.

[salvatore]

, Sangokushi

Is this one good? .since i like war mangas.

The story is good but wars, not so much. It's more about strategy to win territories and defeat enemies with politics and some wars to unify the China. And it's focused in the life of Liu Bei but you can get to see Cao Cao and other famous historic people in those times.

Black Haze has been mentioned: it's good. Very good, actually. The art takes some getting used to, if you're not used to CLAMP's kind of noodle people (impossible limb-length and elongation for the win) style and the shojo aesthetic in general. But, don't let that fool you: there's a good, mainly action-based plot in them there hills.

And, if you want intrigue-focused fantasy with strong character emphasis and action, it's your cuppa, even if you haven't tasted it, yet.

For webcomics: Girl Genius. Girl Genius. Girl Genius. Gaslight fantasy (think mostly steampunk meets Frankenstein... with fairytale elements) focusing on Mad Science!!!!, madder scientists (and minions)... and the world they've seriously messed up. The (eventual) three protagonists are to die for as they rush about trying to fix the royal mess their various predecessors landed them in (while making a start on their own messes). But, most importantly, the humour is top-notch. The colour improves, by the way, from the sepia tones it starts out with: that's a plot point (as well as the authors hunting for a permanent colourist). As you find out as you read. So bear with it.

It's got quite the archive, but it's worth binging on.

RWF? You'll love it, actually. Even if you won't pick up on some of the Western pop-cultural shout-outs. The Jager's accent, however... might be a bit daunting if English is not a first language, though.

How about watching TV series(espcially complete one), playing a video games, reading books, could fill a month or more plus your social life, next time you are out of sth to entertain, there will be TOG again.

Read a book, write a book, book a vacation for your book!

Because not enough man power?

I've busted my computer and am on the Kindle with a dumb auto-type/ spellchecker... Rub it in, why don't you.

I'm lucky I got the links to work... after repeated trying.

Actually I'd love to read some Western webcomics, after reading so much manga/manwha. Thanks!

Hey, birdie, I have a question for you.

Do Koreans tend to give similar names to their kids?

In the webcomic The Gamer, there are two characters named:

• Hwan Sung-Ah. (The daughter)
• Hwan Sung-Gon. (The father)

I ask because of the whole "Hwa Ryun" "Baek Ryun" thing and since you, our great avian overlord with his endless knowledge knows a lot more about Korean culture than my feeble mind could ever comprehend... Yeah...

(Although Hwa Ryun is technically not a Korean...)

[DarkPrince]

I'm getting into anime lol. And I'm liking it \o/

Watched Kill la Kill, Another, Hyouka in the last three weeks. Currently watching Mirai Nikki o.o [ it's messed up]

Also watching the weekly No Game No Life and Akuma no Riddle episodes! \o/ woot!



Hmm... Webtoon recommendations... The Gamer is pretty awesome. Oh, My God! is hilarious and kinda epic too.
No description, sorry I'll do a poor job of it anyway >.>

I'll watch that Ben 10 Omniverse, I guess.
I never had the chance to do so and the new style intrigues me... (Negatively, to tell you the truth.)

Oh, yeah. The animation style is a turn off.
I marathon'd Ben 10 Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, got to Omniverse and dropped it after watching the first two episodes -__-

I'm watching it this very moment.

Art style aside, it's not that bad... (And that Rook guy rocks.)

[Surells]

Have been trying to spend less time on the internet, so will probably focus on reading a writing. The writing doesn't matter. I enjoy it, but I'm one of the many talentless hacks out there who'll never be published. As for the reading, I just bough Life After Life, by Kate Atkinson. Looks good.

Also bought:

When We Were Orphans

Nocturnes: Five Stories of Music and Nightfall

The Brothers Karamazov

Abhorsen

Across The Wall: A Tale of the Abhorsen and Other Stories (already read this and abhorsen but am getting for my sis)

The Garlic Ballads

Red Sorghum

 

Should keep me busy for a good long while...
