Another week in the books. Let’s chat about manga in the general discussion thread! Feel free to use this thread for questions, comments, recommendations, etc.
Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).
Is there some manga that haven’t been adapted with a kuudere girl?
that haven’t been adapted
As in, adapted into anime?
The only one among my 9s and 10s is Sheep Princess in Wolf’s Clothing
Finished Gleipnir. The final volume was lame as hell. Some real asspulls to attempt extra stakes, even though the stakes were already high. Really felt like padding. Sad to see it end like this.
SPOILERS (in case the tags my Lemmy app uses, don’t work for others):
! Ikeuchi as final boss was super lame. His motivations were incredibly weak and it was just so out of nowhere. He came across like a child throwing a temper tantrum. Trying to add emotional weight to Shuichi’s and Claire’s actions (guilt-tripping) was also unfair and I don’t think that was on purpose, since no one rebuked it. Yes they killed people, but they didn’t have much of a choice. Moreover, the entire thing was unnecessary. After defeating him, they did the same thing they were trying to do before he deus ex machina’d himself back into the manga. Killing off Elaina could’ve easily been done without this too, if that was the reason this was included. !< END SPOILERS.
This week has been superb for me when it comes to manga.
First up, there are two confessions:
- My Dress-Up Darling - I Think I Turned My Childhood Friend (♂) Into a Girl
Shoujo Nyuumon came to an end. MangaDex commenters are saying that it got axed, but I personally thought it ended at the good spot - definitely better than series that dragged on unnecessarily.
Binged A Complicated Sibling Relationship 4-Koma right as translation is completing. It is a dumpster fire, but I’ll be lying if I say it ain’t entertaining.

I finally finished my report writing this week at work…only to then proceed to leave for vacation. I have had a series of hops, skips, and jumps across my home country and found myself visiting some of my wife’s family out in Los Angeles for now. All that said to preface the fact I won’t be able to post much over the next week or two. In fact, I will often not be able to check what’s going on at all. To that end…
I would like to welcome Kadath, @Thade780@lemmy.world, to the moderation team for the community. She has very graciously agreed to be another set of eyes to screen reports, watch for spam, etc. I look forward to working together with the community’s resident villainess moderator to make this a better place for everybody (note that I have in no way cleared that title with Kadath).
That aside, I was able to read a little bit.

Thank you!
I like Resident Villainess, it has a nice ring to it. 🥰

As our overlord mentioned, I will be mostly checking for spam. Sadly my busy period shot from the expected two weeks to probably four.
While I am rarely posting these days, I still make sure to check the community every once in a while during the day.
I can’t wait until my current task is completed and I roll back into my regular role. Prepare to be spammed, lol. 🤭
