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).
Been doing a lot of catching up on the backlog this past week. However, I did find a couple new things worth mentioning:
Scrolling through the recent updates page, the cover for this one caught my eye. Clicking through, I was utterly confused by the tags I was greeted with. Girls’ Love? Comedy? Romance? That checks out based on the title and description… Sci-Fi? Aliens? What the heck? So…I started reading it and, yep, aliens… I have no idea where this thing is going to go, but it has my attention now.
This is one of those times that I wanted to share a series, but not recommend that you read it. I clicked through based on the title, but then was shocked at how low the rating on MD was, and my curiosity got the better of me. My thoughts were that it’s not great, but not <5 rating worthy. That’s when I decided to check out the 400+ comments on MD for chapter 1 to see if I was missing something. Turns out this series is based on a webnovel and there were spoilers in the MD comments and…it’s pretty messed up. Just a whole heap of dumpsters going up in flames. So, steer clear of this one unless you really enjoy rolling around in the trash.
If you are looking for a palate cleanser after the last series, this one will serve you well. It’s about as wholesome as they come. Basically a short guy and a tall girl are going out and deliver some wholesome romance fluff. End of story…
I liked this one more than I thought I was going to. It’s about a shy girl that decides to remake herself into a gal upon entering high school. She is quickly accepted into a gal friend group and is striving not to blow her cover as a pretend gal. It seems like it is headed towards a yuri route, so if you are into yuri between gyaru, then this one might be for you.
Ok, I’ve bitten since I read as much trash as good things. Holy crap, I already want to run away.
I found the spoiler, and it’s even worse than the three chapters I read.
Haha, pretty much my experience as well. I was willing to give it a shot, but it’s not even fun trash.
