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).
I’m going to try to keep this short as I am really not feeling well, but there are a couple things I wanted to mention here:
I mentioned this series before, but if you missed it, this is an autobiographical work in which the author wrote a manga about their experience with colorectal cancer. I have been really enjoying it and the most recent chapter this week was about her surgery to remove the tumor. It’s been really interesting and she has a great sense of humor about it all.
Yes, I have continued to read this series. No, it has not gotten particularly better. However, it has taken the edge off just enough that I can stick with it as a trashy guilty pleasure.
One of my favorites, I am starting to get worried about it. There was a recent fan event for TEIS and there was no news on a new LN volume (just news about the manga and mobile game). The current arc in the manga is coming from LN Vol. 6. Specifically, the most recent chapter this past week comes from chapter 2 of the light novel (out of 5 and some extras). So, it will be sometime this year that the manga runs out of content to adapt. I am hopeful that we get news about LN7 soon, but who knows. The author has had a pretty slow release schedule in the past and now that the series is more popular with the anime and mobile game, they are getting pulled in more directions.
Even if this happens I have faith in the TEIS mangaka. The manga adaptation is really well-made, and shows a clear mastery of comedic timing in comic form. If they have to come up with a filler story I have no doubt it would be hilarious. I doubt that’ll happen soon though; even if there isn’t a publicly available volume 7 of the LN surely the writer can send them a draft or outline or something to go off of.
