Re: Sket Dance Discussion - new WSJ series

I like this manga how it is, screw arcs. :P

At the moment okay, but can a manga survive on one chapter's based stories? Well reborn did for a long time but is doing long arcs. I can't sey for sure but I think maison de penguin was something like that too.

I am suprised how these short stories are well done. Hello. Would it be easy to make such good short stories in let us say 17-19 pages average? Well I don't think so, but at the moment all those stories were indeed wise (damned, belgian dialect translation: wanna say funny ).

Do you really hate arcs?

I don't hate arcs, but I don't think Sket Dance has any use for them. At the most maybe longer stories, but "arc" means like 5-10 volumes. Which would suck all the fun out of this.

Anyway, the 4th chapter wasn't that great; but still sorta witty with the frisk mints xD

true a long 3-4 chapter story would be good. But imo the fourth chapter was better than the third chapter. But that's just opinions.

For me the monkey chap is still the best one

Re: Sket Dance Discussion - new WSJ series

New manga like this really interest me. Imagine how it could end up (short stories or long arcs?). Chapter 5 looks like the first sign of plot, at least for a small arc.

Yes indeed though I expect it to end next chapter or the chapter after that. I wonder if there is some history between those girls

Re: Sket Dance Discussion Thread

Well I just finished reading chapter 8. It was good. Does anyone think the story will continue next week or will the manga explore the story after?

Re: Sket Dance Discussion Thread

What's funny is that "sket" is a Caribbean term for a super ho.

Re: Sket Dance Discussion Thread

That is kinda ironic XD This seems like Gintama in very many ways. I (read) LOVE Gintama but its one weakness is that unless you're somewhat versed in the ways of the Samurai its sort of hard to identify with the characters. (You don't have to be an Edo expert, but it helps to know a little.) However Sket dance seems to cover that weakness with gutso. Seriously if this and Gintama can keep running in jump for a long time, i won't be so disapointed to look at the magazine.

Re: Sket Dance Discussion Thread

this is my new 'p2' (as in it's failing horrifically, is brilliant, and needs recognition), and i'm hoping this week's TOC (with it halfway) is a sign of good things to come, as what p2 also did. the underdog's sometimes pull through, and this really deserves it

and yeah, this lives and weekly jump will be less shameful for me. originality performed well is rare.

Has anyone got the volume cover picture?

EDIT: Just found this:http://books.shueisha.co.jp/CGI/search/syousai_put.cgi?isbn_cd=978-4-08-874463-6&mode=1

Wish I had a bigger image.

Re: Sket Dance Discussion Thread

Just read chapter 18. It was a weird one...

I'm also really interested in how the series is going to turn out. Will there be bigger and more serious cases? Fights maybe?

Re: Sket Dance Discussion Thread

My copy of the first volume arrived yesterday, and so I scanned the front/side/back along with the inside flap with a comment by the author. I wish I could scan the extra stuff (the author also has a comment page for each chapter, plus there's a page that shows the layout of the Sket-dan clubroom and a profile for Bossun) but I don't really know how to scan those without actually taking apart the book, which I don't want to do.
Here's the cover:

Chapter 21 Discussion

Spoiler

Wow... That chapter really surprised me at the end. I really wasn't expecting something like that. Can't wait to see how things turn out.

Re: Sket Dance Discussion Thread

According to Japanese Wikipedia, the artist for Sket dance Shinohara Kenta used to be an assistant to Sorachi Hideaki (Gintama) himself! No wonder they both share the same sense of humor! This also totally makes me understand the Gintama vibes I get from this series.
