Manga

Like I mentioned in the anime general thread this week, I have been doing a lot of traveling this past week, so my reading has been intermittent. So, I thought I would mention a couple other series that I recently checked out and provide some quick thoughts:

• Koi wa Futago de Warikirenai - This series is about a love triangle between a high school guy and his two childhood friends. The catch? Those two friends are actually twins. I have enjoyed what I read of this series so far (I also found out there is an anime adaptation in the works). It is a bit dramatic, but it is handled well. I am going to continue reading.
• MONMUSUGO! 〜Living in Another World with the Strongest Monster Girls with Translation Skills〜 - This series features an isekai protagonist that is really weak. His only ability of note is the ability to speak and understand the language of all other living things. This leads him to befriend the legendary fenrir with the promise of feeding them tasty food. Now, if you feel like you have heard this premise before, it's because that is almost the exact setup to Campfire Cooking. And, frankly, this series doesn't do it nearly as well. I am not going to be continuing with it.
• I, a Level 9999 Blacksmith Who Was Told That "Blacksmithing Is Suitable for a Small Fry lololol" Was Expelled From the Guild, so I Changed My Job to an Adventurer - I Will Live Happily in the Guild While Using the Strongest Weapons! - With that enormous title out of the way, this is a pretty cookie-cutter story about an immensely talented, but epensive blacksmith getting kicked out of his guild. Then, he brings his talents elsewhere to great success while things fall apart without him in the old guild. Not really reinventing the wheel here. I won't be keeping up with this one.
• An Introvert's Hookup Hiccups: This Gyaru Is Head Over Heels for Me! - This has actually been a lot of fun. I have actually been keeping up with this series for a while, but I don't think I have posted about it before. It's premise is pretty predictable, but I find it is actually executed pretty well. It can be pretty tropey and cheesy, but it is still endearing. Looking forward to more going forward.

Most of the ongoing series I follow tends to update once every few months (weeks if I'm lucky) so despite my renewed free time I haven't read much - just the latest chapters of Frieren, Girls' Frontline and Mieruko-chan.

I guess this would be a great opportunity to get back to watching El Cazador de la Bruja. I mentioned it before in the anime thread but still haven't finished it due to lack of time. Alternatively, I could start something from my manga backlog instead. Decisions... decisions...

Hi. I watched and am watching a lot of anime, but recently I also want to get more into manga as well, as I only ever completed a handful. I also want to get into the discussion side of things too, which I feel is easier with currently releasing manga, as opposed to completed ones. Currently I'm reading one that's completed and four that aren't yet (although two of those four I'm nowhere near caught up, as I've only recently started them and they were already well under way by that time).

Right now I'm looking for some recommendations of new(er) manga that don't have a lot of chapters just yet, but which seem promising. If you want to throw a random completed recommendation in here too, that's fine too, go ahead, but the main thing I'm looking for is something I can follow along with other people.

If it's good I'll read most genres. Basically just don't give me horror recs and you'll be good lol. To give you at least something to go off of, my favorite manga from my limited pool of ones I've completed are, in no particular order: ReLife, Hitoribocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu, House of the Sun, Spirit Circle, I Can't Say No to the Lonely Girl. And here are some of my favorite anime too, again in no particular order: Non Non Biyori, Steins;Gate, Vinland Saga, Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san, Bocchi the Rock, BanG Dream (specifically the MyGO season. I've seen the others too, but this one in particular is the one I'd consider one of my favorites), Yuru Camp and I could go on, but this comment is long enough already heh.
