This comic is slowly but steadily slipping towards being just another generic manga comic with naughty attributes. When Ma3 started it was funny, well-drawn and slightly sexy, now it's just mangamangamanga-sexxxysexxxysexxxy with cat ears and huge eyes. BOOOOH-RIIIIIING!

[Giz]

Okay, at one point she possibly liked boys........ but she's obviously been terified of penises a lot longer than 8 years.......

This.

Stay tuned... ;)

Oh, and hi Christina. I won't comment on your comment, since you're allowed to have 'em. And welcome, since you seem new!

I would contend that Ma3 is still funny, well-drawn, and slightly sexy, even with the manga bits attached. It's almost like the authors like mangas and comic books themselves or something. Moreover, I'd say in terms of "well-drawn", it's better than ever right now. It was great at the beginning of the series, but naturally it's more developed and refined now. Consult any drawing of Zii now as opposed to the beginning of the series.

That and your devoted forum-ites will do it for you

you guys forget that people in that side of the world are quite renown for their lack of guitar power.

Hmph. Only "renown" by people who've never actually slept with any. I really do hope "LOLZ SMALL AZN PENII" isn't the intended punchline. I expect a lot more from this comic.

Rumors, studies, assumptions, and most importantly lots of porn lead me to the conclusion. also, I'm from Europe andthe internet tells me my continent rocks.. And I do remember one book that talked about how 10 cm is average in the world. Combined with the basic idea that 15 is average in Romania('tis what we're all told), that made us ponder.

I don't really care about penis size though, it was mostly a joke. And btw, when a kid talks about how small his penis is during foreplay, it probably is really small.

I'm with Bear on this one. Not entirely lesbian per se, but has a raging case of dickaphobia.

And in regards to Christina's post, you make any comic about nerds in this day and age and the manga stuff is gonna happen. Personally I think it makes it funnier, since there's so many weird fetishes to make fun of! Plus we've had several references to the Western side of Nerditopia, let the East have the spotlight for awhile.

And in other news, a little character development never hurt anyone. Except for, perhaps, the character being developed.

Nice to know. I had concerns about Ma3 slipping into being a fanservice manga, but I am not picky. Hell, I still read Dominic Deegan, and nearly everybody hates that comic.

I will say that Ma3 has some of the best art I ever seen. And the fact that I still read and comment is a sign that I'm still very interested in this comic.

Yet, the one character that never gets developed: Gary.

Odd, that.

re: Christina...

She has a few valid points. MA3 started off a lot edgier than it is now, and there has been a preponderance of manga/anime references dominating the storyline. Even blunt artistic criticism can be constructive criticism. If an artist/writer/perfomer's work and ego can't stand up to a few pointed jabs by critics, get a new line of work.

But, cum grano salis.

After all, opinions are like assholes. Everyone has them, and most of them stink.

Wait doesn't drawing a tentacle as a penis ruin the point of having tentacle sex? I thought it was just to loose censorship.

I could explain, but it might not be appropriate for this forum.

[Fen]

Btw, why are we discussing the guy, dickaphobia and the Tentacle King rather than applaud hot 16-year-old half-naked Yuki?

[TakerFoxx]

Because she's neither a horse shoe nor a hand grenade. ;)

Actually, I think she's lesbian because she has such a phobia. Its the fear that turned her.

[TakerFoxx]

But Zii explicitly said Yuki isn't a lesbian. From that and all the clues I would say she's promiscuously bi but with extreme dickaphobia. I guess that makes her a lesbian for all intents and purpose, but she can still be attracted to men. She just doesn't act on it.

Naaa, she's been a member since October '08. ;)

Personally, I've never much been a fan of the manga elements myself, because Giz is so awesome at drawing almost realistic humans. Not to mention I hardly get any of the references...

But that is personal taste, carry on.

@Fen: Hey, suddenly I feel better!! At least in a worldwide context.
