Don't worry, you should feel great. After all, capitalism is built on delivering what people want at the price they're willing to pay, even if they don't need that stuff.

Nope, it's just that you expected a manga not to be over-the-top (as in, completely unbelievable if judged by realistic standards). You've got to look at it like american TV series of that genre like CSI or Miami heat, which sometimes can just end up being unbelievable but still enjoyable to watch.

Try "Monster" if you want a somewhat "Christiesh" or "Doylish" crime investigation manga.

Well, either that or Detective Conan if you want to see what happens when Sherlock Holmes is turned into a shounen manga but that series is even less believable than Death Note.

I appreciate the good parts of Detective Conan. Halloween mask ball chapter (in the middle of the sea) was the greatest chapter I've ever seen. And then there's Kaito Kid, though he actually used to have it's own series (still oficially does but releasing a new manga/tankoubon every 15 years isn't exactly a great pace).

But yeah, there's a big ocean of shit between those great moments in Conan and the main story is slow as fuck.

I don't know how far you got reading Naruto but it gets unbearable at a certain point. It's true that DN has its low points but at least it's somewhat interesting throughout the whole series and its high points are incredible.

One Piece is mostly regarded as fucking AWESOME, though 4chan is kinda tsundere towards admitting it

I feel the need to belong to a community. /jp/ happens to be the one that makes me laugh the most and rage the least.

Because of the anonymity, I can feel at home; my brain filters and collects posts so that it seems like /jp/ is filled with a bunch of like-minded/superior individuals (with just a smattering of retards). I hate tripfags because they dispel this happy myth.

I enjoy a level of complexity in my interaction with fellow members of a subculture that requires a lot of previous knowledge of the subject matter; /jp/ has pretty much zero tolerance for the uninitiated.

The information I can sift from the bickering on /jp/ is generally far more valuable to me than reading a more concise blog post by any one individual.

Yes I've noticed that too, and is one of the reasons I come here.

It sort of helps when any posts with a hint of underage B& netspeak gets sagebombed to oblivion, and said thread gets completely derailed. That, or it was a good troll.

I refuse to believe you're a lesbian.
I'm a lesbian and I'm not as retarded as you.
Therefore you can't be a lesbian.

Or you know, you could stop being a petty child about spellings and grammar on the internet. It's not a fucking spelling contest.

Fair game if it's awful to the extent that you can't read something, like "lol u tk him 2 da bar?", because stuff like that is a real pain to read.

But if it's only a minor mistake that doesn't really make it hard to read, such as an incorrect letter, you should stop being so childish about it. Nobody's perfect.

It is only made possible by the internet; if I want to believe that all the retarded lesbians on the internet are actually male trolls, I can do so.

I agree with this man.

But only because my keyboard is usually in some inconvenient position that I can't be bothered to retrieve it from, so I reach out and type akwardly with one hand then forget to fix the typos.

I do make an effort to use words I can type properly with one hand. Like sage.

That /b/ could easily be replaced with /a/. Oh wait, /a/ is always shitty.

Why'd you add the "/a/ is always shitty"? I don't see the difference.

Sagebombing does not help anything at all. It's recent faggotry that is weakening this board's poor immune system.
