One thing exciting about reading is sharing your impressions about what you read.
In my case, that explains why my experiences on reading comics changes depending on how much I'm able to share what I read. Not that I don't enjoy a good comic if I have none to talk about it, but the experience is different, and even if it is a crazy well written and drawn comic that I enjoyed so much, if I could share my impressions with someone else, it would be even better.
So, I have many people to share if it's One Piece, but almost none if it is Shin Angio Onshi, which is, IMO, at the level of the bests.
It would be nice if we could have here a section to create groups or readers of old and good comics already completed, so that in that section the readers could share their impressions from the reading in a dynamic similar to the on-going comics. Let me clear a bit what I'm talking about.
Let's take Shin Angio Onshi. The following advertisement could be posted somewhere:
Shin Angio Onshi

Here you can find some information about this comic, so that you could have an overview of it, without any spoiling information about it:
Where to read:
www.xxxxxxxx
General Data of the comic...
Some short review or abstract about it
If you join us, in this thread you will be able to share comments about this fantastic manhwa, every week
As a reader, you will have to keep this rules:
1. Not to spoil any of the future chapters to read by the group, in any moment.
2. .... (the other rules required...)
The moderator of this reading will be xxxx. Contact him for more info about it
The chapters to read in a week could change depending on the story moments, and could be established by people who knows well the comic, and in order to provide the best week-breaks possible, so that the readers could share their impressions in those moments.
The moderators of MH would be able to propose comics for the section, and would be able to moderate the recommended comic if it's decided to begin the reading of that comic.
One last thing about this section: many 'new' manga readers don't know or haven’t read some of the good old ones. And there are many good old ones. So that section would be like a connection between that group of people and this group of mangas. That would take the traditional recommendations threads one step forward...
I would like to say that it doesn't matter if people want to read beyond the chapter established for a certain week. No matter what, in the discussion thread only comments about those chapters will be allowed. So, if the people want to read strictly as it is established in the schedule, the discussion section would work
also for them.
What do you think?
