New week, new general thread! Our friends over at lemmy.world are back in sync with us, so welcome back everybody! Having everybody in sync certainly makes my moderating life easier. Like normal, 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).
This past week I came into possession of a large collection of physical manga volumes that a friend of a friend was trying to find a home for. They are all series that I haven’t read before and there are even a couple volumes in Japanese. The bulk of what I got is (I think, haven’t double-checked it is complete) the entire collection of Lone Wolf and Cub. The rest seems to be somewhat random volumes of samurai/ninja themed series. I just got it, so I haven’t actually read any of it yet, but I am looking forward to giving it a shot.
The other thing I did that I want to write about is that I caught up on a series in my backlog. Specifically, I am now up to date with Usuzumi no Hate. I have really, really enjoyed this series. I had originally thought that it would be an anthology like Kino’s Journey after the first couple chapters. However, it settles into a more chronologically continuous storytelling mode after spoilers redacted happens. Really looking forward to see where this one goes.
