Comment on Manga Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 39]

I think it’s just kinda hard for me to discuss manga in these threads, and I finally figured out why. There are two categories of things I read: currently serializing manga that I’m keeping up with, and stuff I’m “binging”. The currently serializing stuff is weird to talk about because everyone reads such a wide range of manga to read that there’s decent odds nobody will have the context to know what I’m talking about. The stuff I’m “binging” is a little better, but I have to put that in quotes because I’m reading that section in Japanese so I usually don’t go much faster than 1-2 volumes a week. Right now that would be Kaguya-sama: Love is War. It’s been great! There are lots of really cool puns! Definitely worth re-reading in the original language! I’ll bring it up again in checks notes about 2-3 months when I finally finish!

Yeah, I agree with you. I have had a hard time populating these threads lately as well. I used to try to check out a couple new series each week to give a bit of a pitch or warning about in these threads. However, with all the DMCA stuff at mangadex (and now comick) and my irl work picking up, I just haven’t had as much of an opportunity to do so. A lot of what I read regularly already gets posted…so I don’t have much else to post in these threads right now.
