*********

I've been visiting this doujinshi created by genius Fred Gallagher for several years now. I've also been an active member of the boards there for a while as well, and I must say that if you like anime and games then you will NOT be disappointed. It has taught me much about the subculture of anime over the years and I've spent much money on their merchandise. Please take the time to read the 500+ strips and prepare to enter a world so unfanthomabley amazing, that you will piss your pants.

:D

What was there not to like about it? It has brilliant characters, an amazing storyline, great humor, and Fred-sempai is an amazing artist.

Unless you don't like anything manga stylish or video game related jokes..

I like it. I like the style, and the characters are iconic. One of the better webcomics.

It's interesting how Gabe, Tycho, and Fred are all pretty good friends.
Shameless plugging bad
Shhh. ;) And the comic is basically manga inspired.
That being said....

Sluggy Freelance
********* is the last and best webcomic I check. (when updated. :D ) Besides MT I love PvP, Sinfest, AMD, and MacHall.

Sluggy, 9thelsewhere and a few others aren't bad as well.

For organizing all those I use Comic-nation by the way. [img]tongue.gif[/img] ;)

Hmm.. the story seems to carry on very nicely to me.

Maybe you haven't gotten to far into it, at first Fred draws the characters (Erika and Nanasawa) strikingly similar but eventually you can tell the two apart very easily. (Erika's taller, more busty [img]tongue.gif[/img] , Nanasawa is exact opposite basically.)

********* is awesome, one of the few web comics I ever enjoyed, but, unfortunately, loads of anime nerds have to go and classify it as "omg g8 anemrican manga'ka doujin!!!11/" Just enjoy the comic as a comic, not some J-Pop bastard cultural offshoot.

That is all.
You are an AYSUEJ.

Agreed.

I also have no reason to go buy the MT books they print now. That's why there's the internet.
