[SIZE="5"]The Manga of The Month Discussion #5[/SIZE]
Welcome to the fourth manga of the month event. Whether you are a member of the manga club or you just clicked out of curiosity I invite you to join this event. As said before I have made even more changes to the event to make it more enjoyable.
[SIZE="4"]Nomination descriptions [/SIZE] ( read here for descriptions on all manga in poll)
- Spoiler:
- Fairy Tail
- Spoiler:
- After getting saved from a disastrous occasion led by a devious magician along with his pirate crew, a person named Natsu who uses "DragonSlayer Magic" along with his adorable cat "Happy" asks a celestial wizard girl named Lucy to join their guild. Lucy was overjoyed and follows them to the guild which is what they say is an infamous guild called "Fairy Tail". It has always been Lucy's dream to join the guild for not only is it the most popular and mischievous guild of all, but it is also one of the strongest. Lucy, along with her best friends Natsu, Happy, Erza and Gray; they form a group that's known as Fairy Tail's strongest team! (According to Mirajane) Join them as they begin a new adventure after another and fight stronger villains for the sake of their guild and nakama's! They are FAIRY TAIL!
- Spoiler:
- he protagonist is a guy who is among the stupidest of the stupidest in the school. In this school, your grades can, under the supervision of teachers, take a virtual form to do combat! However, if you leave an examination half way, you get zero marks. A bright and cute girl, Mizuki Himeji, was having a high fever during the examination. Despite her potential to be the second highest scorer in the level, she obtained zero marks for having left due to her illness and is thus allocated to the worst class, class F.
Grades mean almost everything. For Class A, they have a smart-looking teacher, a plasma TV as big as the entire wall as their blackboard, personal laptops, personal air-cons, refrigerators, adjustable seats and all kinds of different appliances. Within the refrigerator, there are all kinds of drinks and snacks. Their ceiling is made of glass, the wall lets them put up high-class drawings and plants.
As for Class F, the worst class... They have Japanese desks and seat paddings. Their blackboard is dirty and there is no chalk even! Someone complains that the legs of his desk are broken, so the teacher asks, "Didn't we distribute some glue to stick wood together? Glue it back yourself later." Another one complains that wind is blowing in from the broken window. The teacher says, "I got it. I will apply for plastic bags and invisible glue to fix it later." There are spider webs everywhere, not a patch of the wall is clean. A unique moldy smell spreads across the entire room; it must be from the old tatamis used to tile the floor. This is the status of class F.
The protagonist feels displeased at such an arrangement, and seeks help from his friends to try to make a change through summoning war!! And they devise all kinds of plans to try to beat the famous class A, intending to get class A's classroom and equipment if they win!!
- Spoiler:
- unpei Manaka sneaks up to the roof to see the sunset. When he opens the door, he startles a mysterious beauty. She panics and runs away, but before not Junpei has caught sight of her adorable strawberry print panties... in EXTREME close-up. With that vision forever burned into his memory, Junpei embarks on a quest to find the girl, and the panties, of his dreams!
This is actually pretty good. If you like romantic comedies at all I suggest trying this one.
- Spoiler:
- Momozono Nanami’s dad, a man with a penchant for gambling, disappeared after accumulating a huge amount of debt. Thus, she was chased out of her house by the debt collectors. When she met a timid man being chased by a dog, he told her that he’d give her his house. She believed his persuasive talk, but when she went to his house… it turned out to be a shrine. Moreover, a guy with fox ears appeared, which made Nanami even more confused. What will become of homeless and confused Nanami?
- Spoiler:
- The story is set in a world where supernatural powers exist through science, and magic exists through religion. ‘University City.’ 2.3 million inhabitants.80% of the students are active in the ‘Brain Development Program’ and out of those only 7 are Level 5s. Meet the civilian protagonist Mikoto and her friend Kuroko, maintainers of peace and order at the University district, as members of the Judgment NOTE: Spin-off of To Aru Majutsu no Index
- Spoiler:
- Maka is a weapon meister, determined to turn her partner, a living scythe named Soul Eater, into a powerful death scythe — the ultimate weapon of Death himself! Charged with the task of collecting and devouring the tainted souls of ninety-nine humans and one witch, Maka and her fellow meisters strive to master their weapons as they face off against the bizarre and dangerous minions of the underworld. But the meisters’ own personal quirks may prove a bigger obstacle than any sultry enchantress!
- Spoiler:
- With his phrase "don't you dare make girls cry," Makoto Tobita has failed his 30th confession, but that won't stop him. Promising to do anything for the girl who smiles at him, no matter what it is, what will happen now when the alien fighting - giant girl, Mana Eimiya, is in love with him?
- Spoiler:
- Kagami Junichirou is known as a Genius Physicist. He wrote a thesis at a young age of 17 and it was even published by "Nature" a prominent science magazine. After college he devoted himself to being an Otaku and a NEET. Updating his Anime Blog, aiming for #1 ranking. He claims to have a disease that makes him do ONLY what he wants to do. Desperate to get him to do something with his life, his little sister manages to get him a job as a teacher at his Alma Mater.
- Spoiler:
- Takasu Ryuuji is a gentle boy who does all the cooking and cleaning in his house, unfortunately he is cursed with his father's scary looking face. Labeled as a "delinquent," Ryuji has few friends. One of the people who doesn't run away at first sight is Minorin, an eccentric girl, whom Ryuji falls in love with.
Perhaps by fate, the "delinquent" bumps into the also notorious "Palmtop Tiger". At first glance she is a cute little doll, but he finds out the hard way SHE's the one who should be feared and called a delinquent! Her name Aisaka Taiga.
After an odd turn of events, it is discovered that not only is this fierce tiger best friends with Minorin, but she also loves Ryuuji's best friend!
Will this odd duo be able to pair up as allies in love?
- Spoiler:
- As a child Sakura Mamiya mysteriously disappeared in the woods behind her grandma's home. She returned whole and healthy, but since then she has had the power to see ghosts. Now a teenager, she just wishes the ghosts would leave her alone! At school, the desk next to Sakura’s has been empty since the start of the school year, then one day her always-absent classmate shows up, and he's far more than what he seems!
Something important to note about this manga is it's author.artist. Takahashi Rumiko is the one behind both Ranma 1/2 and Inuyasha. Every one of her works has at least been partially animated (excluding Rinne but it is still fresh so it might be a matter of time). So if you like any of her work you might want to check out this one. Even if you didn't try this one after all she is a popular author for a reason. Maybe this manga will be the one that will get you.
[SIZE="5"]Manga of the Month[/SIZE]
Actual discussion will take place in the manga club.
Voting
Use the poll located above. If you wanted to vote for a manga not included in the poll you may also nominate it for the next poll.
Instructions (New rules in red)
- The two manga with the highest votes will be the winners. If a manga you voted for was not among the winners you are still expected to participate. (Seriously one of the two manga MUST be worth a look)
- Please don't bother voting if you have no intention to discuss said manga. This poll is to find a manga people want to discuss not a popularity poll.
- If you want to change your vote say so in the thread and I'll keep track. When time comes to choose I'll factor your changes into the poll results to find the winner.
- Each person will be allowed three votes to use on three different manga and you must use all three. (NOTE: voters will place their votes into a poll of 10 predetermined manga)
- If you want to change your vote say so in the thread and I'll keep track. When time comes to choose I'll factor your changes into the poll results to find the winner.
- Any manga in the poll will have a complete (Or as complete as possible if series is ongoing) source! if the series is one of those series that no one seems to want to do properly and only has a few chapters or has gaps it will not be accepted as a nomination. This is simply so that all members will be able to read it properly.
- Any manga in the poll will have at least 4 volumes or at least 16 chapters (Thus 4 chapters a week minimum). But if something falls under this requirement you can request that is be discussed as a side activity. We can do something like discuss the first chapter just to introduce the new series to people this will have to be discussed.
- just to make things clear you aren't required to read the entire manga. Assigned reading will not become really long for long manga. If a volume a week only gets through 10% of the manga then the manga will be put back up on the poll and if enough members wish to continue discussion of said manga they may vote for it again.
- Discussion for this manga will last until at least the end of the month.
- A link to a summary as well as a link to read it online will be provided for those who haven't read the manga or did but can't remember.
NOTE: Due to recent events this was moved from the other thread. If you voted before please revote now.

BTW SUPER-DREADNOUGHT GIRL and Ichigo 100% are the only manga on the poll that are completed. So if you want to vote for something that actually has an ending already those are your picks. But Ichigo 100% has over 100 chapters so it will have to be re-voted at least a couple times to get through within the club.

Did you hit submit? You don't submit them one at a time you select all three and then submit.

Unfortunately polls here don't seem to allow me to view the voters so I can't tell who voted. So would those who voted mind saying so so that I can tell if any active members haven't voted yet?

Now see I told everyone is the main thread to let me know about name changes so that I could update the member list. If you know anyone else on the member list that is here but changed their name tell them to let me know.

Would everyone be okay withme calling the vote on Sunday? I wanted to make sure I gave everyone plenty of time given all the mess caused by the move but is Sunday enough or does anyone think we should wait a little more?

Okay so today is the last day for voting. Again I can't tell who has actually voted on this poll so if anyone thinks there is someone who still hasn't voted could you please inform them to do so?

Okay I know I said it was ending sunday but since there was a 3 way tie I decided to let it run a little longer (PLus with everything going on some people might just be moving a little slow). So To break the tie I'm going to do what the Nyanuary thread did. One person who voted for each needs to step forward and pick a number between 1 and 1000. Also could someone give me a link to that random number site that was used? That will decide the second winner. Alternatively if anyone knows a club member who hasn't voted tell them to do so to break the tie.

Okay threads are up. BTW I thought I heard something about giving presidents the ability to email all members at once. Was that a real possibility?
