manga rec : beelzebub

[askerian]

It's very simple! It's the story of a school delinquent who gets adopted by the demon lord's baby boy.

I laughed SO hard. The main character is hilarious, the constant flying snark hits my funny bone just right, and the characters are excellent -- Hilda the gothic demon maid, and the hero's buddy/straight man who keeps trying and failing to be the voice of reason. He goes on fighting gang members and delinquents with a naked baby clinging to his arm, and then there's trying to explain it to his family, and etcetera -- it just killed me with LMAO.

Tatsumi (hero): So if there was a stronger, more evil shitty bastard than me, he'd be chosen as the parent?
Demon guy: *doubtful* Ahh, perhaps, if that kind of guy could exist... it would happen...
Tatsumi: >8D
Buddy: =____= No, that kind of guy doesn't exist. Try looking in a mirror.

Also, I keep reccing Nurarihyon no Mago, which is the story of a too-nice pushover who is slowly learning to own his youkai side and making himself into the kind of lord that his grandfather's followers can respect. The beginning chapters are a bit choppy, but the cast is adorable, the folklore interesting, and soon enough the plot finds its legs and becomes awesome. Read it! >:O

\^o^/ fellow fan! Me too, I couldn't stop laughing with the first chapter and then I was hooked.

Ahh, I want the next chapter already. How is he gonna save them?! XD

Good manga, those two, if you like shounen.

Oda's evil face, particularly when he's saying stuff he obviously doesn't believe in to try and get rid of the baby demon lord ("Let's all be friends" in Evil!face), is hilarious.

Rikuo and his hench-youkai (and the onmyouji girl whose name I always forget, and the childhood friend, and... well, everyone, really) are adorable.

I love all the evil faces he pulls and how retardedly shounen-bad-boy he is. XD It's excellent.

Nurarihyon is really the adorable kind of shounen. It makes me regret the scans aren't cleaner, because the art style is so cute and I'd pimp it all over the place.

I fell in love with it by the 12th page, and when page 17 rolled, I knew I was a goner.

Thanks for poting it! It totally made my yesterday evening!! :3
