This has to be the weirdest request I've seen in a while.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the japanese version is actually still read right to left?
Yep, in japanese is not flipped.

yup. If you compare the Jump+ version and Manga+/Viz the art is clearly flipped in English.

Reading it left to right isn't a deal breaker or anything, but the damn horizontal thing is annoying.

Not sure why they did that, since you can read it normally on Jump+.

Viz has it horizontal so it's only Manga+ forcing vertical for some reason.

Oh, well, hopefully they fix it. I'll try reading it again later.

Anyway, I like Chloe. Fairly solid for a MC. She doesn't look like a stereotypical loli to me, though.

Idk about you guys but I changed my habit of reading WSJ and now I'm beginning by the most hard manga like Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu and ending with the comedies as those are all light. lol
I usually bookend with my favourites: start with Haikyuu!!, switch between action/comedies, end on Act-Age so I can take my time with it. Though after the double issue I might just go by the TOC order.

read fire punch, this author is the LAST person you have to say that he ''cant or lost touch to tell a story'''

dude lmao
Every review I read of Fire Punch suggests writing problems are extensively prevalent from start to finish in that, only further solidifies how wonky the writing in Chainsawman is.

Are you sure you dont mean Fire Force? If you meant that, then yeah, Fire Force is a greatly written manga, one of my favorite.

For those who are annoyed at the vertical/horizontal thing in MANGA Plus, do this:

Go to the options, right-click on the Horizontal thing and Inspect Element.



Look for this line on the code.



Remove the disabled tag.



Go back, enable Horizontal and read.

Ah, inspect element. Such a great tool. Though am I the only person who reads vertically here? If so, damn. I just got too used to it.

Ghost Reaper Girl was decent. Though I can’t help but compare it to Ayakashi Triangle at points. Comparing Chapter 1s of both, I think I like Ayakashi's character dynamics and art better, but individual characters, story, action and worldbuilding goes to Ghost Reaper Girl.

It's such a strange choice for the author to request the manga to be flipped.

When was the last time manga even got flipped for translation? We've been reading manga the correct way ever since fanscans became a big thing.

I had the exact same thought. Except it feels better executed than AT.

Yeah, Ghost Reaper is more immediately interesting. And I like AT.

Reading left to right feels weird, even though it shouldn’t, and I think that affected my enjoyment a bit.

The joke was amusing enough, though. Not as gut-bustingly funny as 8Kaijuu’s recent chapter, but at least it managed to get a smirk out of me.

Honestly, I think this was on a whole, a very standard opening chapter. Nothing bad, but nothing special either. As far as comparing it to AT, from a technical standpoint, I think it’s certainly better. The art and world-building is better polished here. Of course, as @Koni mentioned, the weird layout did dampen my enjoyment.

Okay, it's been more than 24 hours since this and it doesn't change. Magu-chan doesn't show any next date chapter in MANGA Plus since Chapter 4 was uploaded yesterday. I contacted MANGA Plus via Facebook but haven't gotten any answer yet, and even though 1 whole day has passed, there are no changes. I don't want to jump the gun too early, as I have commented on WSJ's Discord, this is weird. It's the first time I see it and I still go by it being 70% a dev error and 30% something actually serious. Anyway, I'm just letting everybody know. Whatever this means or whatever reasons there are behind this, I have no clue at all. I was hoping I'd at least get a copypasted answer from the service saying they'd report it and then it would change, as I have done in previous times, but nothing of the sort happened. Also please refrain from telling me that Viz has it scheduled for next week since we already know that Viz just puts templates in the chapters with next week's date and they don't update their Chapter Schedule page. And we also know MANGA Plus is way, way faster when it comes to schedule changes in the magazine and on their series, as we have seen with My Hero Academia or HEART GEAR. Anyway, hope it's nothing serious and it gets solved eventually. Guess this post also servers so no one is confused if they happen to come across this.

Will this nanga be canceled with just 5 chapters?
I think it's impossible for that to happen.

I'm not talking about a cancellation. I'm talking about nothing and everything at the same time, from it being an error to circumstances not letting the series continue its serialization, which are not infinite but quite some. Still, as I said in the post there's no certainty about anything regarding that case. We should just wait until we see any further changes or just wait until the magazine is out.

Nope, I read vertical too. It's much easier with a mouse.

Yeah, Ghost Reaper is more immediately interesting. And I like AT.

It took me a few pages to figure out I was reading it wrong, but after that it went surprisingly smooth for me. Good to know I can still easily switch back to Western comics even though I've been reading mostly manga for years decades.

I quite like the new series. It's nothing groundbreaking, but the characters are decent enough and it doesn't smack you over the head with fanservice. And I'm just really glad M+ is finally publishing some new English series again, since we were down to just 4 Jump+ chapters in an entire week.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Little stuff like this has happened before and they usually fix it after a few hours/days.

I'm more wondering why Magu hasn't got a Spanish translation yet, while the series that came before and after both have one already.

Ok, I finally read Ghost Girl and I really like it. One of the better first chapters I've read this year. The art style is very pleasing to the eyes, and I feel like I'm really going to like the main character. Another thing I like is the art seems to be switching between comedic and serious very well. Like the design of her scythe or some of the ghosts look really funny, but when everyone starts fighting, everything looks cool. A lot of series, I think, struggle with maintaining a good balance between these things. The left to right thing is gonna be weird, but I think I could adjust to it.

I am also used to read vertically. In fact, I feel more comfortable to read that way.

So. I'm stupid.
I didn't even know we had option to read manga horizontally on M+ via desktop.

I've just been reading it vertically like a doofus. Just now noticed the three dots on the side.
