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).
New chapters of The White Mage Who Joined My Party Is a Party Crusher, So My Isekai Life Is at Risk of Collapsing Once Again have been getting released on Mangadex lately after a long gap, so I’ve picked it up again.
It appears to be intentionally trope-y, and probably belongs in the category of “trash isekai” anyway, but I found it entertaining nonetheless.
My library migration slowly progresses. I’m sticking to a few series each week since going through all of them at once is a huge pain. Got some successes this time, which is nice though I’d rather not have to do it at all.
One of these successes is Villainesses Have More Fun. I mentioned it a few months ago, I think, but in short it’s one of the wish fulfilment manhwa series about… well, a villainess. It’s pretty fun - not one of my favourites but definitely on the more enjoyable side. It’s been a while since I read it due to already mentioned library issues so I got to read it with fresh perspective, I guess.
Other than that, I’m pretty much sticking with the stuff I post on the semi-regular basis as I’m a bit too busy to start new series at the moment. I’m not sure what I prefer: having a ton of free time to check all the cool stories or being active enough to not being able to.

Anybody got any recommendations for romance that is modern earth adults that communicate and also have sex (doesn’t need to be illustrated, just don’t want them to spend 4 volumes trying to hold hands)?
Sweat and Soap is one I enjoyed as an example.

Highly recommend Yamada Kintetsu’s other works like Telework Yotabanashi and Kasane to Subaru.
Other works could be Wotakoi and She Loves To Cook, She Loves to Eat, It Takes Two Tomorrow, Too. These are less forward with the sex side or dont mention it at all, but they’re still adults and acting like it.

I have reread it just to make sure, so this manga should fit your criteria: Bonnouji

That’s a good one. I should revisit it.
