I am mostly into Jujutsu Kaisen these days, both the current arc in the manga and the anime are just brilliant, and has everything I could ever want from a shounen. Not going to bring up any spoilers, just going to mention how hyped I am at the current manga, I keep rereading chapters 223 to the current one so many times because of how epic it is.
I also like Martial Master Asumi, it’s got really nice MMA stuff and nice grappling.
Of course, One Punch Man is always entertaining, and I keep getting excited every time a new chapter pops up.
Service Wars - saw discussion posts quite regularly but I typically only read manga with at least 20 chapters already, so didn’t start on this one until recently. Only on chapter 6 so far but holy crap it’s hilarious and the gags have been plenty and mostly unexpected. Looking forward to seeing how the author can keep things fresh.
Kimi Janakya Dame na Dorei Shoujo - unexpectedly wholesome with light humor. This is pretty standard stuff, and the art is good, not great. But the execution is superb so far
Keeping up with some weekly stuff, but heres my favorite of this week: Watashi no Musuko ga Isekai Tensei Shitappoi. Yes, it had Isekai in is title, but don’t let that fool you. Its mainly about a mourning mom, whose child died in an accident, and her coping mechanism is that he actually got isekai-d, and trying to find a way to bring him back. Its pretty heavy, and more about the mind working through grief, but its just makes you feel, you know?
I hadn’t heard of this one before, but the premise is super interesting. As somebody that reads way too much isekai (see my wall of text in this thread), most of them waste a huge potential of the genre that this one focuses on. Namely, the whole premise of (most) isekai is that there is one or more people that vanish from their world. However, we usually never see anything about the people and places that were left behind. This is one of the reasons why I am of the firm belief that most isekai are just fantasy stories that have the unneeded addition of the reincarnation/summoning/whatever isekai element added to them.
The Dragon, The Hero, and The Courier, and Mage and Demon Queen are two completely different series I’m currently reading among others. I hope somebody else out there enjoys at least one of them as much as I do.
I’ve been slowly reading The Dragon, The Hero, and The Courier. It’s enjoyable and pretty unique but not something I can binge. There’s far too many words and dialogs. In some mangas, I don’t mind skipping dialogs here and there (eg when the author spends 2-3 pages on some backstory that I don’t really care for), but I feel every piece of dialog here is important or funny.
I agree it’s hard to binge. Which is a good thing for me because I’m like a cat and if I can binge I’ll binge till I choke and die. Too many details for me to eat too fast here. This is one of the only manga where I’ll actually read the end of chapter fun facts/non story stuff and learn.
The Dragon, The Hero, and the Courier looks interesting, definitely going on the to-read list!
