Some of my recent favourites started getting translated again:
Trillion Game is an wild ride. Two guys join together to
scam peoplemake the greatest company, and make enough money to live their best life.Nick & Lever is a gag manga. Usually don't like them that much, but this one has just the right amount bizarre humor, some 4th wall breaks, and a charming waterpaint style.
So yeah, pretty good. On an other note, I don't know posting manhwa is allowed, but I guess its alright this thread here
My Wife Is From a Thousand Years Ago is a chill romcom about a warrioress traveling forward in time (who would have guessed) and trying to integrate in todays society. Mc seems a bit sus in the early chapters, but he does his best helping fmc with her situation.
Auto Hunting With My Clones - I don't know why the koreans have so much gate/reverse-isekai manhwa, but this one is a self aware chill version of them. Mc gets the ability to come himself, so first thing he does with them is making them do his chores. Later he realizes their potencial, so send them to work and reaps all benefits, but gets more attention then he wanted...
Trillion Game is like the manga-version of Silicon Valley, sorta. Glad its serializing again.
Real trash Dr. Stone
Two continuing series I want to highlight:
I wanted to also highlight a couple series that I started recently that I have been really enjoying.
i have bought a few new manga:
i will read these the next days and weeks
Any Highly Advanced Medicine Is Indistinguishable From Magic is yet another isekai story, but it tries to be more “realistic” than most. It’s about a modern doctor in isekai world but goes into details about procedures like a regular medical manga. It reminds me of In Another World Where Baseball Is War, A High School Ace Player Will Save A Weak Nation which is a manga about baseball in isekai but they also try to keep it “realistic” and play it out like a regular baseball manga.
I’ve bee liking these mangas where they go into granular details about modern day stuff but in an isekai world. It makes the story that much more realistic and relatable.
Uzumaki, but in a language I don't speak. It's fun filling in the characters' speech bubbles as if I were lip-reading a telenovela.
Kagura bachi - its a new Manga about the son of a person who makes enchanted Katanas. Its really good so far
Boys Run The Riot - A really good Manga about a trans boy who starts a clothing brand with his friends from school. AFAIK theres only four volumes officially out so I have to find a decent fan translation.
最強の王様、二度目の人生は何をする? The Beginning After The End
I accidentally stabbed on this anime on Netflix using VPN. It is so good. Turns out it is a mawha. The art work is superb and very intriguing story.
Without spoiling it, it is a five stars for me.
Vinland Saga ❤️
Just read Yakedo Shoujo.
The whole manga just feels like a fever* dream to me, but the characters themselves and their emotions are well shown throught the manga. I didnt like the ending of the manga, but being an open ending is a cool aspect.
I would like recommendations on great seinens, appreciate it!
Hero Has Returned, ch 115
It's like a giant robot trying to stamp out cockroaches for the last 5 or 6 chapters: Wrong tool for the job...
I just finished "The Town Without Streets" by Junji Ito, and it's some of his best work to date. Absolutely haunting from start to end, and thought provoking regarding the concept of privacy. It's absolutely worth the short read.
Lately I have been enjoying isekai slow life manga. I know they are a bit cliche but it's my guilty pleasure so to speak. And they are more fun then the usual isekai where they join an adventure guild and become a hero. Though not all of them are great. If anyone has any recommendations of isekai slow life with romance as well I would appreciate it. Especially ones that are not a harem.
