Yeah, Nobuyuki Fukumoto's series do seem to be rather slow. I am currently reading Legend of the Strongest Man Kurosawa and while I am loving it to death, it could have definitely been cut down by a few chapters. Half a chapter often consists of the main character groaning, grunting and wallowing in his own self pity as well. There could have been much less of that.

^it still helps the atmosphere :D
i'm finishing Kaiji with that Bog..
its slow paced but awesome...

Gantz on the other hand is slow paced and lame at the same time.. it just barely moves.. the chapters are out once in a month and you get 5% of story..

lazy bastards

Seconded Pastel. It's been in a standstill since like chapter 50 or so.
I really couldn't be bothered to come up with a clever signature at this time. So right now I will go ahead and say nay and move on with my business

I have to say the worst one I saw was Record of a Fallen Vampire. I just couldn't get past the first chapter since it was bogged down with so much exposition that even the fight scene was boring. I bet there are worse manga with poor pacing (in fact I'm sure of it since a lot of anime directors and manga writers have trouble with pacing) but this was the one that stuck out in my mind the most.

Inuya. It helps that you think the ending might be near then, nope, it's back to square one again.

Faster than a Kiss. Fricking Ma-kun and his old-fashioned-ness.

40-something chapters, and still no kiss/confession. The point of the story is that they got married without a kiss, but COME ON. Although I love it with all my heart, sometimes the slowness irks me.

Gantz. DEFINITELY Gantz. It's so slow it's not even worthwhile to read in chapters - you have to read it like, 2 volumes at a time.

most anything by Rumiko Takahashi moves at snails pace with like no major development for at least 5 volumes straight. Maison Ikkoku is probably the only exception because it actually finishes its story in 15 volumes and at least I found the filler to be funny but even then, yeah, it kinda dragged sometimes for sure.

Spiral. Thta manga is good, but slow. In one volume, they spent the whole volume sitting on the floor discussing plans! For goodness sakes.

Gantz,Bleach. So slow.

I disagree with Detective Conan as one in this thread. Pacing is not slow. It never is. It's just a matter of how long you wait before it switches back to the "main storyline". XD

Suzuka, holy fuck you could have just skipped the entire first half of the manga nothing important happens.

Yea and agree with Pastel, they just need to fuck already and end it. But since the Mangaka sucks shit at coming up with original ideas and creating a decent story line, he'll probably never be able to come up with a new manga.

GE is pretty slow, it likes to take 1 step forward then 2 steps back all the time.
It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die.
