Another week in the books. Let’s chat about manga in the general discussion thread! Feel free to use this thread for questions, comments, recommendations, etc.
Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).
I think it’s just kinda hard for me to discuss manga in these threads, and I finally figured out why. There are two categories of things I read: currently serializing manga that I’m keeping up with, and stuff I’m “binging”. The currently serializing stuff is weird to talk about because everyone reads such a wide range of manga to read that there’s decent odds nobody will have the context to know what I’m talking about. The stuff I’m “binging” is a little better, but I have to put that in quotes because I’m reading that section in Japanese so I usually don’t go much faster than 1-2 volumes a week. Right now that would be Kaguya-sama: Love is War. It’s been great! There are lots of really cool puns! Definitely worth re-reading in the original language! I’ll bring it up again in checks notes about 2-3 months when I finally finish!
Yeah, I agree with you. I have had a hard time populating these threads lately as well. I used to try to check out a couple new series each week to give a bit of a pitch or warning about in these threads. However, with all the DMCA stuff at mangadex (and now comick) and my irl work picking up, I just haven’t had as much of an opportunity to do so. A lot of what I read regularly already gets posted…so I don’t have much else to post in these threads right now.
