Yeah, that's fair. You said you were curious what other recommendations there are, which is why i mentioned Mihon.

I'm not sure if Aniyomi is going to be affected by what happened to Tachiyomi, cause I haven't used Aniyomi in years, but hey, if it still works and you like it, keep going with it.

I liked Kotatsu for some features, but I ended up trying Mihon after seeing it mentioned a lot, and it has most of what Kotatsu does.

And I also had trouble with Kotatsu's sync. It synced my library, but it wouldn't update read chapters between devices. So if I read up to, say, Chapter 14 of a manga, then did the sync and read Chapter 15 on the other device, the first one would still have me at Chapter 14. Also, not really sure why, but activating the sync on the second device was kind of a pain. I had no trouble setting it up on the main device, but then the second one wouldn't open that screen where you can load your library. I ended up having to make my way through some well hidden settings outside the app (as I figured out that the screen it was meant to open was basically a redirect to the phone's settings), and it wasn't even worth it, since it's not properly being synced anyway.

I think the clear standout is Nagatoro, but that is well over 100 chapters in, so it wouldn’t be quick to catch up.

I've actually watched the anime for that, but the first season only. It didn't really make me compelled to check out its second season, to be honest. But yeah, that wouldn't be an easy one to catch up on anyway.

If you are looking for more general recommendations, I made a comment with some in a previous response to a different user.

Some of those I've seen the anime of or am currently watching the anime of (in the case of Frieren and Dungeon Meshi), but I'll check their descriptions too when I'll be looking for something that's either completed or has a lot of chapters already.

Here are a couple series that are still fairly early in their run that I see at least a couple comments in their chapter threads:

Alright, so all of those sounded interesting lol.

I'm probably going to go with Star Tripper and Ruridragon to start things off. Do we know how often Ruridragon's chapters are expected to come out? I see Star Tripper has pretty consistent releases (3 days ago, 10 days ago, 16 days ago, last month, and so on), but with Ruridragon I can't really tell since it came out of the hiatus so recently that there's only 1 post-hiatus chapter.

Thanks for the recommendations!

I wish my first bite was in March. I got some in February.

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.

There also seems to be a mistake in the first map. Down where it says "The least obsessed with spending time online", all three countries actually have the same time as the country above them, from the most obsessed. Japan should have 3:45, but it's noted as 9:38, same as South Africa above it. I could at least tell their actual average from looking at the country, but I can't do the same with Denmark since the text is too small on the map for it.

At least the second and third map don't have that issue, but yes, the color scheme is odd.

Heh, my first site was also Cartoon Network. And I remember the voting too, we had them in my country too. I can't recall if I ever voted myself, but I remember some of the 24 hours days. Sometimes I loved it when it was a show I liked and sometimes I would be like "Well what do I watch today now?" if I wasn't a fan.

I don't know what the very first thing was back when I didn't yet have internet and could only use it when visiting my uncle who did.

But I remember the first site I visited after I had internet myself. I went on the Cartoon Network site to play some of the games they had.

Pretty much. Not neccesarily Minecraft, for me, but most of the time I'd rather play a game or watch anime.

I really liked this too. Had no idea about their existence, but I'll listen to them some more soon.
