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).

    Sailor Moon

    I finished the Sailor Moon manga last week. It was pretty good! Between the manga and the TV show I’d say I prefer the manga more. The TV show had a lot of filler, and the filler gave lots of opportunities to flesh out the characters of Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus especially, but it was a much better time experiencing the story at a sane pace instead of waiting dozens of episodes at a time for something to finally happen. The final arc especially was much better this way.

    Char’s Daily Life

    I’m nearly done with the second volume of this one. It’s a goofy AU where Char and other Zeon characters, primarily from UC Gundam’s One-Year-War, are living in modern-day Japan. Char has amnesia and is just trying to get by. It actually ended up feeling a lot like Gintama, but not quite as cleverly written as Gintama. Still a fun read, and well worth having bought for the cover art alone.
