Discussion What Are You Reading? What Do You Plan on Reading Next?

[Jammin]

I need a good site to read em.

Novel Updates is a handy way to find WN and LN translations.

For more mainstream stuff I tend to buy them.

See I'm able to find most things I'm looking for but Dies Irae is a series that I can't find online.

The problem you may be having there is that I believe that isn't LN but rather a Visual Novel. Which is available on Steam.

 

[Ramen]

Decided to start reading new things since GoH I watch and I'm only reading Toriko atm.

Started Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san, Saint Oniisan, and Jojos

I'm loving LN's though and that's what I'm focusing on.

 

[Demonspeed]

Caught up with Insomniacs After School.

Planning to start Sousou no Frieren this week. I need to catch up with Ace of Diamond too, been a while since I read it.

Might also start reading Ayakashi Triangle.

 

[Brandish μ]

I am reading Your Throne, and will catch up with A Trail of Blood, Tongari Boushi no Atelier, and Otoyomegatari. If I accomplish that, I will start Oshi no Ko and Sousou no Frieren.

All 3 are great, art wise too you will be impressed when you catch them, though they re different all 3 have incredible panels ( some lovely Seiko ones too, her new style is stunning)

I'm almost caught up with Amanchu ( i really love this one, might pick Aria manga too, even though Im currently watching the anime) Started recently :
Wondance - a freestyle dance manga (more oriented hip hop), interesting so far, and, as it focuses a lot on the male mc's insecurities and trouble of communication. So far it's pretty good. I like the art too.

Sakamoto days , a pleasant surprise, so far.
Ookiku Furikabutte i had my eyes on it for a long time, very promising, but put it on hold coz its too long, there"s almost 200 chaps, each chap is between 60-70 pages, will pick it back when i catch some other stuff like Gekkan shojo Nozaki-kun/chihayafuru.


+Hirayasumi (forgot that) a very nice slice of life , at least so far.

+intend to catch up vinland saga and berserk asap

There's many promising Manga I started or want to start, some have no English translation yet sadly. But I will update asap and give my opinion about those I could start.

 

[Demonspeed]

Caught up with the English translations of Soukyuu no Ariadne by Norihiro Yagi(Claymore, Angel Densetsu). I started the series at launch but then translations stopped for a while and so did I. I had two years of chapters to read.

Planning to read Dandadan next since it won the Best New Manga Awards. Then I'll catch up with a few other series.

Will read Otoyomegatari, Houseki no Kuni, Jujutsu Kaisen and Mairimashita Iruma-kun next. Will probably read the shortest first.

I finally started Otoyomegatari. The art is so good... Kinda confused by the name of the heroine though. Makes me wonder if there is an in-universe reason for it but no one brought it up.

I will read Sakamoto Days once I catch up.

Awesome
Otoyo art is amazing, yeah in scan version Mc name was Amira, but in official release it's Amir, I ve read that Amir is masculine and Amira feminine version (which is btw a beautiful name), I guess Amira makes more sense. in any case, its an amazing manga.
Sakamoto days is currently one of the best WSj manga, it has nothing news or special but it does well,i liek teh comedic/parodic moments, you will find out probably some references/analogies, it has that Gintama vibes but less crazy. hopefully quality wont drop.

Im happy Kimi wa Nazotoki no Ma Chérie is licenced in eng and will start seemingly Asap ( the website said in August, ) I was waiting for this one, and for Akanesasu Zakuro no Miyako , the later got scanlated lately. So far its definitely my kind of stuff.

Yes the art is really good. Read 5 volumes so far.

Amira means "Princess" and Amir "Prince" so yes it's kinda weird when you are familiar with the names.

Tried Oshi no Ko, could be good, didn't give it enough of a chance. Caught up with the rest, just now with Frieren.

Recently finished Daytime Shooting Star. Another one of those love-triangle shoujo with a student-teacher angle, so a bad, scalene love-triangle. Idk why I do this to myself but at least I got some good outcomes from it.

Going to read Joshikohei, and I will try Are Your Feelings Connected by Yuri SM?

 

[Tanuki25]

Still reading (every month):
New Prince of Tennis
Akatsuki no Yona
Skip Beat!
Fairy Tail 100years Quest
Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler)
Akagami no Shiayukihime

 

[Organizized]

Caught back up with Vinland Saga a while back and loving this story arc.

Now going through Akanebanashi and enjoying it immensely.

Also started over with JJK to see if I can properly get further in than like 40-50 chapters this time. But that'll have to wait until I'm caught up with Akane.

 

[Darklord#10]

I'm reading soul eater, jagaaan and record of Ragnarok. If I finish this three I plan on rereading jujutsu kaisen, I plan on reading fire force and I plan on continuing berserk.

 

[Rob Gucci]

Right I'm readying whatever my Edited Manga group is translating. Even if it's not something I'd usally read...

 

[Brandish μ]

Read Boarding School Juliet, enjoyed it.

Next - whatever is chosen in the manga club. After that I'll read Otome no Teikoku.

 

[Erinyes]

Hanbun Kyoudai !

I'm waiting desperately for this to be translated in English, I definitely need to read it. In today's world, especially in Western countries, racism and bigotry have been rising alarmingly particularly in my own country.

I came across a pic from this manga recently, and that reminded me of Kaoru Mori's art style. I did some research out of curiosity and discovered this series. Now, I've learned that Volume 1 is to be released,Asap.so Fingers crossed, hopefully it will get translated.


Here's a summary by Mangamogurare:

"A collection of stories about the trials, tribulations, and racism multiracial Japanese people face living in Japan. Chapter 1 revolves around the children of an Afro-French father and a Japanese mother. The elder sister learns that her younger brother has opted to get his name legally changed to his middle name, in order to stop being labeled as an outcast. In a 2022 interview, Fujimi said she was inspired to create the manga after a close friend of hers was discriminated against because of their mixed race parentage. The first publisher she brought the manga to was hesitant to publish it because of the frank way it depicted its subject matter. They suggested she make a cute, gentle little girl character as the lead or even incorporate elements of cooking to make it more palatable. In a recent interview Fujimi says that she hopes her manga can bring positive change to the Japanese entertainment industry, paving a way for more stories centered on underrepresented groups in Japan. "

Otherwise I need to read 20th Century boys, to catch up with Wondance, the anime is announced and some other mangas.

This thread is for posting the manga you most recently read, are currently reading, or plan to read as well as for posting reading lists.

What I am reading
What I have already read

Mangaupdates is my preference for reading lists. Unlike myanimelist, mangaupdates tracks new releases. On the release page an icon appears next to the title when a new chapter from my reading, wish, or hold list is released. That makes it much easier to keep track of new releases, and to remember chapters I missed, or have not had the time to read yet.

Today I tried Moteki, a romantic comedy by the mangaka of Again!! The first two chapters were quite good, fans of Again!! will definitely enjoy Moteki.

Using https://courseworkwritingservice.net/ was a helpful experience. The site offers well-structured, customized coursework that saved me time during a busy semester. I appreciated the clear communication and timely delivery. It's a solid option for students needing academic support, though I still recommend reviewing everything to keep it personalized.

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.

This was a let down for me other than some cool moments, and never like Martian or Artemis (this is fav).

I noticed that there are actually mangas for H.P. Lovecraft's works, and I am planning to devour them, but i just can't find that time yet.

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.

This is the book I'm reading atm.

Also finally started the Houseki no Kuni manga after all this years, just finished volume 1. Not entirely sure what to think of it just yet, but it did manage to get me emotional a couple of times and is intriguing enough to want to keep going.

Bought the Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind box set a few weeks back, so hopefully soon gonna re-read that for the first time in years.
