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 finally finished my report writing this week at work…only to then proceed to leave for vacation. I have had a series of hops, skips, and jumps across my home country and found myself visiting some of my wife’s family out in Los Angeles for now. All that said to preface the fact I won’t be able to post much over the next week or two. In fact, I will often not be able to check what’s going on at all. To that end…

    I would like to welcome Kadath, @Thade780@lemmy.world, to the moderation team for the community. She has very graciously agreed to be another set of eyes to screen reports, watch for spam, etc. I look forward to working together with the community’s resident villainess moderator to make this a better place for everybody (note that I have in no way cleared that title with Kadath).

    That aside, I was able to read a little bit.

    • Tsuitenai Game Jikkyousha wa Akogare no Hito ni Kakinsareru - This series just had its final chapter with chapter 21. I had no idea that it was coming to an end though. However, the ending was actually nice! It won’t go down as one of my favorites ever, but it did a good job depicting a romcom set in university and some of the parasocial complications that must arise when livestreamers interact with fans.
    • Harapeko Oyako to Motokare Yanushi / A Hungry Mother and Daughter and Her Ex-Boyfriend Landlord - I found this series this past week and it is pretty much what it says on the tin. Imagine an ex from 19 years ago shows up at your door with a young child and hungry. Would you offer to let them live with you? Well, our MC does. It’s only four chapters in, so not sure yet if this is going to be mom and daughter hijinx or if this is going to be a bit more on the serious/drama side. Willing to let this one go for a bit to find its voice.

      Thank you!
      I like Resident Villainess, it has a nice ring to it. 🥰

      As our overlord mentioned, I will be mostly checking for spam. Sadly my busy period shot from the expected two weeks to probably four.
      While I am rarely posting these days, I still make sure to check the community every once in a while during the day.

      I can’t wait until my current task is completed and I roll back into my regular role. Prepare to be spammed, lol. 🤭

        What manga is that from?

        Also,

        Resident Villainess

        Another !otomeisekai@lemmy.world enjoyer? 👀 I love that manga genre so much. I have so much to read in it, although because I am the way I am I have started not allowing myself to read anything incomplete—otherwise I’ll binge read it all in one night and then forget to come back to it later on for new chapters.

            I just checked the community a little more and that was kind of a dumb question of me because you have posted there before 😅 thanks for the answer, it is on my MyAnimeList now as Plan to Read! Curious if it is more a comedy or if it turns out dark as the summary suggests.

            Wondering if I should make a new otome isekai community here, it might get more engagement as they are indeed anime and manga. Although some are manwha which might not be allowed as that is Korean and not Japanese and this instance’s sidebar says

            For all things anime and other related Japanese media such as manga, games, vtubers, and light novels.

            However, given some of them are manga and anime, it should be okay to let manwha in as it follows the genre. I’d feel really bad and frankly annoyed excluding manwha that fits the genre.

              We happen to post Korean stuff too sometimes. Last I did was My Dear Aster (absolutely loved it).

              If we make a OI dresses and jewelry community, my screenshots folder is going to be emptied. 😅
