I'm enjoying it though it's definitely a little weird. I'm going to jump into book 2 shortly.

Christian wrote: "my local library didn't have the rest of the volumes"

Only 14 of 19 volumes were officially released in English. Though it has all been fan translated. The volumes are also rare and expensive so I recommend just finding those if you are planning on going back to it. I need to get back into that one as well. LoL

I am currently reading a lot of things. I just finished PTSD radio now and today I might start the godfather or continue with Tokyo Ghoul or assassination classrooom.

-Love After World Domination (I think I may be hooked on this one)
-Kiruru Kill Me (didn't know if I would like it but it's pretty decent so far)
- Tomo-Chan is a Girl (picked it up because I actually watched the anime first)
- DanDaDan (bold claim: Might be one of my favorites. Ever)
- Frieren (add to the favorites list. Sad but really uplifting at the same time)


I'm bouncing around between several different series. Tomo-Chan & Love After World Domination are shorter series so I might breeze through those.

Just started Attack on Titan. I have only 3 volumes, so it will take me a while to finish. It's so uncomfortable when manga/comic doesn't have page numbers. But 10% of the volume feels accurate

[Jenny, The Odd Otaku]

OhhAttack on Titan- enjoy the ride!
I'm working on Yona of the Dawn and Monster, and recently picked up Cat Massage Theray at the library- it's in full color and is super cute!

[Anna]

They both sound interesting. I hope you enjoy reading

I just started Fire Punch after I caught up with Chainsaw man and became obsessed. Let's see how much I like it

I read the first 3 volumes of Fire Punch. I enjoyed it. Just never got around to finishing it.

[Dreamcatcher (HIATUS)]

Honestly it's pretty edgy as of now but it's only volume 1 so I'll see if it improves

[Greg, Slime Knight]

I think it stays pretty edgy but not quite as bad as Chainsaw Man.

[Dreamcatcher (HIATUS)]

I don't know I kind of prefer Chainsaw Man to Fire Punch so far

[Greg, Slime Knight]

I did to but it’s still super edgy. Seems to be the mangaka’s formula.

[Jenny, The Odd Otaku]

I've heard good things about Fire Punch... Have to get into it at some point

[Roger]

I have it downloaded but I haven't gotten to it yet. I think that same author wrote Goodbye Eri. That manga was good but weird also

[Jenny, The Odd Otaku]

Yes! Goodbye Eri, Look Back and Chainsaw Man are all by him as well

[Rebeca]

Hello! Actually reading Alabaster...my second book of Tesuka

Pretty much anything written by Junji Ito is worshipped by the manga community. Particularly Uzumaki.

You could also check out Elfen Lied or Mieruko-Chan.

We'll be doing horror as our theme for the group read next month as well so stay tuned.

[Greg, Slime Knight]

I just finished volume 5 of Mob Psycho 100 for the group read. I'm also reading Esrahaddon by Michael J. Sullivan. Sullivan is one of my favorite Fantasy authors all of his stuff is excellent. I just picked up Death Mage Volume 3 the light novel to jump into when I find time as well.

[Grace]

Ibitsu and Tohyo Game are really good spooky Manga.

I'm currently reading the seven deadly sins series. Am on volume 28. It's alright so far. Was better at the start. Liking it less now because there's a bunch of romantic pairings happening between all the characters that I don't really like. plus there's only actually 1 character that I really love out of all the characters so that's a bit sucky.

That's one I really want to get to eventually. I have them all through a Humble Bundle at least so I have them when I'm ready. So much to read so little time....

[Jenny, The Odd Otaku]

Natsume's book of friends is a creepy/cute one!

[Roger]

Just completed Demon Slayer and have been reading One Punch Man. Such amazing art.

[wordsbyjosie]

I just started demon slayer. So far, so good!

[Dreamcatcher (HIATUS)]

OOO you'll like it!...Or maybe I'm just being biased because it was my first manga series and it goes hard on nostalgia

[Dreamcatcher (HIATUS)]

I'm currently reading Loving Yamada at lvl 999
Please tell me if you have similar romance recs, I haven't read much Shoujo beforehand so even the popular ones are fine. I'm currently iny romance phase lol.
Fantasy romance is fine too, just nothing too long

[Mary]

so, I'm sorry to say that I don't have any shojo recs that are gaming oriented, like Loving Yamada at lv999, but some you may like are:

Skip Beat (MC getting revenge for a broken heart by becoming an actress, and other things happening bc of that)
Kimi ni Todoke (slice-of-life type, but one of the best out there)
Otomen (nice if you like role reversal types)
Love Com (if you like rom coms - the anime is good too)
Kamisama Kiss (if you like Youkai type stories)
Yurara/Rasetsu (if you like paranormal type)

hmm that's all I can think of that may interest you (in terms of liking Loving Yamada at lv999).. hopefully you can find some more romantic shojos to enjoy :)

I'm currently on an online manhwa kick - there's some good romantic ones out there (though many of them have the exact same story....)

[Jakey]

Just finished Hell's Paradise, and it left a hole in my heart.

[RENE]

I read light novel Cooking with wild game. 5 volumes and reading 6. Reading succubus high. read 3 volumes of My wife has not emotions. reading volume 4. Reading Something wrong with us. read 3 volumes of Chain soldier. currently reading volume 4. Currently reading expedition cooking with the enoch royal knights volume 2 light novel. Read 2 volumes of So you Want to live the slow life? A Guide to Life in the beastly wilds. Read the frontier lord begins with zero subjects. read Two volumes of Me and my beast boss. reading The vixen war bride and Warhawks amnesty. Read Bedlam book one of the prison ship saga sheaol saga. Reading Accidental goblin king and nearly done. Reading Contact front and Wholesale slaughter by Rick parlow. Reading To bind dark heart. Reading The inkwater witch. Reading would you love monster girl? Velise.

Now the last two I reading. Dreaming freedom manhwa. Read 51 chapters. I think is one the best supernatural romance psychological I read or any medium. Reading Blooming love. it has craftsmanship in it. So far, the female Mc is very different than what you would normally expect. from my own experience. I been reading More and trying different genres.

Only One book I am currently reading and starting to hate it. House of crimson hearts. I expected steaming action and got train wreck instead. I rate 2. I normally rate 5 because all I care about is being entertained. But this book is so filled with hypocrisy that I can't look past it.

Books I looking into buying Fractal noise. Mushroom blues. Moon Blossom Asura: The Ruthless Reincarnated Mercenary Forms The Ultimate Army.

Not the first of the member here to be wowed by The Arrival
A wordless Australian entry into the Manga world, it is the work of Shaun Tan, described by Wiki as a penciller . A neat word, I had not seen it before.
The Arrival is a picture journey into the world of an immigrant.
Please give it some of your time.

I've been meaning to read that for some years now

[Christian]

I just read the first volume of Gokurakugai and it was nice! I knew about it since sometime last year but never got around to starting it til today and the art was really nice, I love the character designs, and the action sequences are pretty badass!

[me simply being annoying (everybody's favorite)]
