What Are You Reading

[The Manga Kid, Missing Maven]

That looks surprisingly interesting. I'm going to have to look into it.

[Jenny, The Odd Otaku]

Hopefully it's on Shonen Jump, trying to save money that way LOL!

[Justin]

Yeah i'm very intrigued on that as well, A new kind of take on a Zombie apocalypse story, It's kind of giving me slight zombieland vibes lol

[Justin]

I've finally got round to reading Death Note and I'm beginning to understand why it's so popular, already up to volume 5 and there are just so many twists, I'm loving it.

[The Manga Kid, Missing Maven]

It, too, took me a while to start reading it, but once I did, I loved it.

[Greg, Slime Knight]

I’ve been doing a volume a day of Kimi ni Todoke. That’s really fast for me. I’m on volume 16 now so I’m halfway through. I’ve also started Age of Death which is book 5/6 of a fantasy series I’m reading by Michael J Sullivan. I also started the first volume of the Goblin Slayer Light Novel series.

Love Michael j Sullivan's books i've read the Ryria revelations but not any of his others yet.

[Jenny, The Odd Otaku]

I'm working on Fruits Basket again, goanna try and finish that and then go back to Kimi Ni Todoke and Aria. Then, I wanna read some chapters from Shonen Jump

I've read all the Riyria books as well. Revelations were all fantastic the "Chronicles" books are good but not as good. The Legend of the First Empire series takes place 3000 years before "Revelations". I was worried I would have a problem since I remembered so little however it's not even necessary to have read any of them to enjoy these.

He was another trilogy starting this year that takes place after the events of this one as well. Thankfully the author is really good at making his series stand alone.

[Greg, Slime Knight]

Alice, I’ve been looking forward to an American release of the film but no such luck yet. Did you read the Novel of the manga? The novel has been on my TBR for awhile.

Hi guys, I'm new here... recently I've been reading Sousou no Frieren, Saihate no Solte and Tongari Boushi!!

Anyone else?

[Justin]

Hi Monica not familiar with any of them, the Tongari series is that also know as witch hat altair? I googled the series and it bought that one instead lol If it is that has definitely got me intrigued to check it out. I’m currently just over half way through death note and i’m also thinking of starting and reading the entire full metal alchemist during the month of march but we’ll see lol.

yeap! witch hat atelier ... It's soo good, especially if you're into high fantasy cuz the manga has an awesome magic system based on crafting and drawings. It's soo good!
Saihate no Solte is the new series from Satoshi Mizukami, we have only 4 chapters so far, but I enjoy pretty much everything Mizukami writes so I'm really excited. Sousou no Frieren is an epic fantasy manga about an elf and her old party of heroes.. also pretty new, which is good cuz we can keep up really fast.

DN is great! and FMA is GOAT material !

[Jenny, The Odd Otaku]

FMA was one of my first mangas... Love it to bits!
Today I got Zom 100 vol 1 and the first four volumes and novels of Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear!

[Justin]

Just finished vol1 of pluto and wow it was incredible so much emotion in one volume can't wait to continue and the art is incredible as well.

[Justin]

just finished volume 11 of Fullmetal Alchemist so just under half way through the series and it's an absolutely incredible series so far can understand why people love it so much. Loving all the different alchemist characters and there little quirks.

[Jenny, The Odd Otaku]

Ohh, you get to experience the story for the first time! I wish I could forget it and re read it lol!

[Greg, Slime Knight]

I just finished volume 24 of Kimi ni Todoke. I’m still enjoying it but feel like these last 15 volumes could probably have been cut in half.

I finished all 6 books of The Legend of the First Empire and enjoyed that. I also read the first Goblin Slayer light novel and thought was pretty decent.

Going forward I’m going to try and burn through the 6th Slayers light novel today during my long shift at work. I started another fantasy trilogy Dragonslayer by Duncan Hamilton. I am also going to continue doing a volume a day of Kimi ni Todoke till that’s finished.

[Jenny, The Odd Otaku]

I am reading through some mangas and comics this month! I finished all 4 volumes of Trinity, and read four volume of New 52 Flash, plus ten volumes of Tokyo Ghoul, and planning to go back for more of that later today probably, or switch to Aria, not sure which. I am also reading Dombey and Son and Fire Bound for prose books. Dombey and Son I am reading with a group that does one chapter a day, and there are some really good and in depth discussions of each chapter. Fire Bound is the second to last in a paranormal romance series that my coworker talked me into reading with her, along with it's two companion series LOL! I am actually enjoying both, though Dombey and Son more.

[Greg, Slime Knight]

I recently read 2 volumes of Naruto. I am also on the 2nd volume of Redo of Healer, which is filth but I like filth.

For light novels I recently finished JK Haru is a Sex Worker in Another World. I will probably start Goblin Slayer Volume 2 next.

For regular novels I am on the 3rd and final book of Dragonslayer, a fantasy trilogy by Duncan M. Hamilton.

[Justin]

just finished my first read through of Fullmetal Alchemist and oh man it's such a great series!

[Jenny, The Odd Otaku]

I started Blue Box and Candy Flurry on Shonen Jump. Blue Box is only two chapters in and Candy Flurry one.
Blue Box is a sports romance between a 3rd year middle school badminton player boy and a first year high school basketball player girl. I love badminton so thats the only reason I picked it up.
Candy Flurry is about a near future in which a candy has been invented that has a side effect of allowing anyone who eats it to conjure sweets. It was outlawed quickly, but the damage was done. Tokyo was destroyed thanks to a lollipop user. This follows a female high school student who is a lollipop user herself and hides it and a boy in her class who works for the special branch of the police that deal with sweets users who break the law.
I've only read a few pages of both, but they both seam pretty good.

[Greg, Slime Knight]

Currently trying to read Jujutsu Kaisen, Fire Punch, and Naruto. I am also almost done with the Shadow and Bone Trilogy which is sadly not great. After that I think I'm not sure. Maybe I'll catch up on some of the group reads in my horror group.

[david]

I am working my way though the walking dead again the deluxe issues they put out got me in the mood for it, also started the complete works of Poe as an audiobook but I'm kind of regretting that now as the reader is very monotonous. manga wise I have picked up one punch man watched it on Netflix and fancy the book, and Zom 100: bucket list of the dead.

Years ago I had a buddy who I gamed with regularly. Every time he died in game and had to wait to respawn for the next match to start he would pick up The Cask of Amontillado and read it out loud over the mic. He would use the craziest voices and expressions. It friggen killed me and enraged everyone else sooo much.

[StrawberryShojo]

I'm currently rereading Spy x Family, anxiously waiting for the next volume to come out.

[Jenny, The Odd Otaku]

Pippa, I have that waiting for me too! Sounds like it willbe worth the wait!

[david]

Greg just saw your reply there that sounds like such a laugh and much better than me and my buddy's singing Iron Maiden songs to each other between halo 2 rounds

[amanda ✨]

i’m currently reading rent a girlfriend, but i’m trying to take it slow so i don’t rush through it too much !

[david]

I'm halfway through rent a girlfriend volume 1 so far really enjoying it

[amanda ✨]

i’m currently on volume 7, but there’s still so much more left. it’s extremely enjoyable right now, but i heard mixed feelings about one of ghe main characters so i’m curious as to why.

[Greg, Slime Knight]

I quickly finished volume 1 of Hanako. I recently finished Project Hail Mary the newest novel by Andy Weir who also wrote The Martian. I thought that one was really good as well.

I am currently half way through Dungeon Duel which is book 5 in a LitRPG series called Rogue Dungeon. It's a fun series if you're into LitRPG which I've been reading a fair amount of over the last few years.

Anyone else read LitRPG and have any favorites to share? My favorite LitRPG series is Threadbear by Andrew Seiple about a sentient Teddy Bear in a game world. I highly recommend it's hilarious and charming AF. Especially if you do the audiobook, Tim Gerard Reynolds is an amazing narrator.

[Shawna]

I'm currently working on Attack on Titan, Vampire Knight, and One Punch Man

[Grace]

ah I love vampire knight and one punch man! I hope your loving them. also there's another series after vampire knight called Vampire Knight: Memories if your interested
