Merry Christmas, everyone!
2017 is just about over so I think we might as well have a little run through of all our favorite manga this year. Please list all your favorite manga from the subscription this year, along with any artists whose work you thought was outstanding.
Since I already did a mid-year roundup, I'll be picking mostly from the latter half of the year.
My favorite manga of 2017
My Master is a Naughty Brat by Ishikawa Shisuke. I love this maid. Her smug facial expressions and the artwork really made this for me.
Just Like You by Takashi. Takashi-sensei's work tends to be pretty saddening but this one (despite being controversial) I thought was really nice. Most of the time you get hit with a really sad or dark story and the manga ends there. You're left to sit there and let it sink in and feel negative emotions. This one hits you at first but takes it in a different direction. I really appreciated that.
Thrill by Takemasa Takeshi. Takemasa Takeshi-sensei has a talent for drawing borderline insane girls and they look
so good.
The Office Lady Centaur and Her Little Junior by Mizone. Epic. Centaur. Girl. That's all you needed to know.
Frills, Lace, and Something Lovely by Aoi Miharu. Nice little story.
Carnal Reading Girl by Thomas. It's Thomas.
Female Shelter by Tarazoo. This one was just so heartening. How could I not? Tarazoo-sensei is fantastic.
My favorite artists of 2017
212 - Oh man I just love this artist's style. Sexy onee-chans for days. Definitely one of my favorites this year.
Koppori Nama Beer - If this artist wasn't already on your radar, you must be missing out! Lovely stories, lovely artwork. Gush worthy.
Ikuhana Niro - I'd be shocked if their work hasn't yet caught someone's eye. Outstanding stories and cute art style. Really extraordinary work here.

I wanted to do them quarterly at one point but it's become a half year thing, I guess.
