[Ryllharu]

Hah, thanks for the embarrassing round title.

My vote is for Rough. I do like all the others, but not so much D-ASH, which just isn't coming together, even after re-reads (since the releases came so slow the first time). I haven't read Rough, and it did sound interesting.

In case you haven't heard about the others:
The others all have a good mix of comedy, and Tokyo Crazy Paradise has some pretty violent parts. Mahoraba is all inane comedy, more like a 4-koma series, Superior combines an intentionally stereotypical fantasy adventure series, and D-ASH uses disjointed time skips frequently.

[Kraco]

I voted for Superior. I've already read a third Tokyo Crazy Paradise after it was suggested for this round, so I don't know if I should have voted for it instead. However, if I tried to imagine what I'd probably have voted had I not started Crazy Paradise already, it would have been Superior most likely. I love fantasy adventure, after all, and those two pages looked interesting. I'll likely download it at some point no matter how this round ends (assuming I can remember that intention...).

As I'm not really any sport fiction fan, I hope such a choice doesn't win, but if it does, I guess I'll have a look.

[animus]

Voted for Tokyo Crazy Paradise, because D-ASH was a letdown after the first few chapters, I'm not a fan of Adachi that much, and I've already read some of Superior. Never read TCP, and besides I see some titties.

[shinta|hikari]

Superior is superior.

[Foomanchew24]

Anyone know which has the most humor between superior and tokyo?

[Ryllharu]

Hard to say. To me they are about equal. Superior isn't finished. It also doesn't really take itself too seriously, being a fantasy series. If you've read ID, it's somewhat similar. TCP is a lot of gags. Anyone familiar with Yoshiki Nakamura knows. The art is great in both, though the editing suffers in both scans on occasion, so take your pick.

[Dark Dragon]

i voted for TCP.

i really like superior but it is just too short. The manga only have 13 chapters which really doesn't leave much room for discussion so i would prefer to do a series that is finished.

[Kraco]

Hmm... Superior is marginally leading. I should have studied the issue more carefully because I didn't realise it's so short. That's a pretty big minus. TCP was really long, though, at times I thought a bit too long despite the fact it was interesting all the way through.

[Munsu]

Well, it's 5 volumes and ongoing which is good.

[Raven]

TCP got my vote, I've heard of it and never really gotten around to reading it. I also like the look of D-Ash but we'll see how we go.

I'm not really a fan of the art style of Rough, personally.

[Kraco]

It's a draw? Now what? Does this mean Ryllharu's romance ends in a triangle affair?

[Munsu]

I opened the poll for 2 more days, lets see if we get more votes. After 2 days, if it's still tied, Ryllharu will choose the manga.

[kAi]

Chosen TCP, I've read one volume and been meaning to read more, haha.
