I got an urge to reread BIBLIOMANIA.
It’s a short (12 chapters), creepy story about a girl named Alice stuck in an empty room. It has supernatural horror and post-apocalypse elements as well as some really cool, imaginative and freaky art. One of my favorites.As for ongoing series, two I follow updated this week:
Both really funny and cute stories, definitely worth a check if you didn’t hear about them.
Apparently Kono Healer, Mendokusai also updated few hours ago, so that too.
I recommend the guy she was interested in wasn’t a guy at all. It’s a great fluffy story with solid designs.
You sold me on bibliomania gonna look it up once I’m off work to give it a try.
Let’s call it “What have you been reading this fortnight”?
I’ve been reading a few. One of them beeing Megami no coffee terasu. I like the style. Even made a little drawing at work, while I was bored. :D
Also “binged” on Boku no kokoro no yabai yatsu quite a lot. Its kinda good, although at first I thought I wouldn’t like it. But it’s kind of cute watching the mc being teased out of his shell bit by bit. Just don’t think about the fact, that in reality such a story would never come to be…
Rosen Garten Saga. This manga is awesome
Same energy as
(COMIC1☆11) [Gokusaishiki (Aya Shachou)] Koutei Tokken sEXtella | Imperial Privilege sEXtella (Fate/EXTELLA) [English] [ATF]That name… it’s a freaking H doujin, right?
Of course. But it’s also really funny.
Maybe my favorite manga at the moment. Cannot recommend highly enough for anyone looking for a crazy fun dirty comedy.
Hey there. Time to dust off this old hobby.
Currently reading Kokou no Hito.
Edit – Finished Kokou no Hito. Great story. A lot of “oh, shit, no!” moments. I’ll come back to this one. 9/10.
Any good psychological and ongoing manga?
Read a number of new mangas. The two that I will continue to follow are - The Game Devil and Seraph of the End.
The Game Devil is about a game taking over reality. The concept isn’t anything new, but the character development has been pretty good so far. The story has also been moving at a fairly fast pace. The art style is probably the most unique part of it but it’s been good overall. Can definitely see this turning into an anime if things keep up
Seraph of the End has been serializing for some time now and have 2 seasons of anime already. I’m typically not into vampire mangas, but the focus really isn’t with vampires vs humans. It definitely started out that way, but slowly became much more. Tbh the only reason I am keeping up with it is cause I read the latest couple of chapters first, but I think even ppl who don’t care for vampire mangas will grow to like this one
I’m two weeks late but I don’t see another post for this week so I guess I’ll jump on this one.
I read the first couple volumes of Sword of the Demon Hunter today, which I’ve heard described as a “darker Samurai Jack”. Basically it revolves around a demon slaying samurai named Jinta from the 1800s who (somehow) ends up in the modern age (it’s kinda hard to give a good synopsis without spoilers, plus I still haven’t read far enough to get a lot of the details). The first two volumes focus on Jinta’s past, so I’m not too sure about the modern-day Samurai Jack aspect yet, but oh boy does it get dark. Overall it’s a great story with good characters that play well off of each other (I especially like Jinta and Kiyomasa’s super gruff “frenemy” vibe), but if you pick it up, you should prepare yourself for some emotional turmoil.
I also read the first volume of Chained Soldier, and… I don’t think I’ll be continuing it. It was just a little too ecchi for me, and the pacing of the story felt way off (the first chapter alone felt like someone was giving me a haphazard synopsis of what the whole series was going to be about). I may pick up the second volume someday if I get too bored, but I wouldn’t count on it.
In other news, Delicious in Dungeon continues to be a bastion of phenomenal worldbuilding and character development, and I picked up the new Zom 100, so I’ll be getting into that soon. I’m also on the hunt for Fairy Tale Battle Royale vol 2; I read the first volume like a year ago and really liked it, but I didn’t seek out the second for whatever reason, so now seems like as good a time as any!
I’ve been trying to get into Berserk after hearing a ton about it. I haven’t picked up a manga for years, but my god. I’m on book 7 and I’m reading it any spare minute I get.
Pretty good world building and really interesting. Do recommend for people who enjoy fantasy. 71 chapters.
