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).

Since it's pride month, here's a list of my favourite on-going mangas with LGBTQ+ themes that I don't see posts of in this community.

I have been traveling a lot lately (and continue to do so), so I haven't gotten a chance to read as much as I would like. One thing I mentioned last week is that I have been reading through Tengoku Daimakyou again to get caught up and I am continuing to absolutely love the hell out of it. I am currently on Volume 9, so I am hoping to finish getting caught up this week.

I haven't been able to do too much in the way of scanning for new series this week, so I only have one new series that I found interesting enough to check out:

Mousou Sensei - This is a SOL about a teacher that is constantly thinking that her students are lusting over her and each other. However, her delusions don't really match up with the reality of just a bunch of quirky students doing totally normal things. This is basically a whole series built around the misunderstanding normal things as suggestive trope (think Tsuki from Uzaki-chan). I think the joke would get old if the chapters were longer, or if there were more chapters out that I had binged my way through. However, I thought it struck a good balance at the moment, but the joke could get old or not be to everybody's taste.

I dropped Mousou Sensei because the joke got stale, but Yuzuchiri-sensei is definitely capable of writing better manga. Kimi to Picopico was pretty good.

I didn't have much time to backlog-dive so nothing new on that front. On the other hand, boy did Fool Night get a ton of updates in the last two days - we're almost caught up to raws!

Things got WAY more action heavy and brutal than I ever expected this series to do but it's still keeping the quality, intrigue and, in some regards, the rawness of human existence really well. Can't wait for more.
