yes, it seems to be absolving the isekai genre, although currently there’s still a lot of overlap

And many by Yen Press of all, can’t wait for them to be translated at a snails pace…

Cozy Life with the White Witch and Isekai Walking sound like right up my alley. Glad to see J-Novel Club continue to pick up series, they’re the only publisher I don’t have to jump through 20 hoops to get my books readable on all my devices.

I recently bought the first five volumes of “Villains are Destined to Die” in the Collector’s Edition without so much as reading a single page before the purchase.

Glad the AniList Tags turned out as accurate as I hoped they would.

High School DxD: Volume 1-14

Recently took the time and actually read the books of this. Obviously the target demographic is horny teenage boys of which only the first part still applies to me but oh well, it’s still a good read anyway, if only because some aspects of the story are just way too funny to my adult brain.

For a harem series the MC is expectedly dense, although the author does have an explanation ready for that and gives the MC some character development this “early” on into the story, reducing the annoyance of it somewhat. Still even after supposedly overcoming his issues the MC displays a typical lack of self-awareness and a profound ability to not actually do anything lewd while constantly doing lewd things. I find other approaches to avoiding graphic descriptions in the novel preferable to somehow making the audience believe a hormone driven teenager wouldn’t try anything if surrounded by willing girls, but that’s the genre I guess.

Enjoyable enough to be very good if you like Ecchi Harem stuff, definitely wouldn’t recommend if you don’t

ani.social didn’t exist back then (or I didn’t know about it) and since we needed at least two communities to prevent whole volume readers from catching stray spoilers…

This will either result in a full sports team or 1 daughter to repeat the romcom.

Glad to see my favorite diving anime make a return

I’m starting to wonder whether the Editor kicked the Author in the butt to finally get the plot going, not that I’m complaining about it. I’d normally agree with @[email protected]’s assessment that they’ll get cheap rent from Ooya-san but I suspect she’ll die from high blood sugar levels when she hears about this (I know I almost did)

Man I was just wondering where this thread was.

Lovely to see Akutsu get on her friends’ nerves with her lovey-dovey behaviour, even more lovely to see them suffer through it and support her. Slightly related: 18+ Spinoff wen?

The author seemingly kicked the plot into gear recently, now my only complaint is that the chapters are too short and/or too infrequent. Which as far as problems with Manga go is a pretty good problem to have.

The longer this goes on the more I suspect the other fans (and maybe even idols) have secretely conspired to get those two married lol

Well there you go, I can ensure you if there ever was a time to binge this it’s now

Coming from the absolutely unexpected confession last episode this feels… weird. I expected some form of friction to still be there but no it seems like both of their wants and desires line up quite well but on the other hand this outcome makes much more sense given how both of them have been portrayed so far. Marin doesn’t even have a cosplay account so her prioritizing cosplay itself over the attention it gets her is nothing new really. Whereas with Gojo we’re well past the point of knowing Hina dolls are no longer priority #1 in his life.

For all I care this can devolve into nothing more than diabetes inducing fluff without any of the supporting cast but I think we still have some more regular plot available with the semi-ongoing references to the “Mandate of Heaven” author positively reacting to Marin’s cosplay of Haniel. Gut feeling say they’ll do one final cosplay as a couple going completely all out and then we’ll get a nice happy end. I’ll be happy to be proven wrong if even more plot to follows though.

Took the opportunity to catch up to the latest chapter (was at 148), gotta say I like where the story is going, especially how Seto seems to grow a spine currently (still WIP but the glimpses into his inner thoughts suggest as much). Unrelated to this chapter but I also appreciate the series going the Horimiya route and having the side ships also form, helps freshen up the story a bit imo. No need to focus exclusively on one pairing the entire time, that gets stale eventually.

I am happy to see continued development on the topic of their relationship status. Hope we’ll get to see a lot more of this

Don’t give them ideas! …wait, actually do give them ideas I wanna see them fawn over their kids as well

Not surprised Sono Bisque Doll landed that high given how banger the chapter was. Been a while since I’ve sat here all giddy waiting for the next chapter like I am now

If they are indeed going after MangaDex they are shooting themselves in both feet. MangaDex is the one site that pretty much immediately reacts to DMCA claims by publishers and authors. If they lawyer them out of the space the void will be taken up by entities that play less nice.

It’s a trope way too many mangaka follow, no creativity on where to carry the story after the confession. Give us the awkward first dates, the misunderstandings from jealousy, I have to see all of that before my thirst for romance sugar is sated. There is so much to be explored within a relationship yet it just gets left on the table unused and up for grabs. I sincerely hope this story continues for a while yet because these two can lead us to so many wonderful stories still, and from when this happened I feel like the mangaka plans on writing more of this story, there is far too much unresolved plot to end this anytime soon.
