Happy Memorial Day to all the US members of the community (and also the non-US members, nothing stopping you from celebrating too I guess). Have a new general thread for the week! Please use this thread as you see fit. Let us know what you’ve been reading, questions you might have, 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 finally had some free time over the weekend and decided to spend some of it browsing through manga aggregator sites in search of something that could catch my interest. I’m happy to report I did manage to do just that. Here’s what I found so far:

    • Sui and Neri of the Twilight Planet - cute and short (15 chapters) slice-of-life series about a girl, Sui, and a sloth (Neri) running a small inn on a dying Earth. It has plenty of sweet moments, talking animals and just exudes the feeling of comfy - I highly recommend this one. Also, art style reminds me of Tsukumizu’s work (author even drew a story for Girls’ Last Tour Official Anthology Comic).
    • Hotel - Since 2079 - story about an AI managing a “vault” with human DNA after our extinction due to climate change. It’s… not bad but also isn’t particularly amazing though it has its moments (ending worked for me more than expected honestly). It’s a oneshot so you won’t waste too much time if you dislike it. Author took another stab at this story few years after the initial release but I haven’t read that version yet so can’t comment on the differences.
    • Genocidal Organ - sci-fi series about an American special forces assassination unit. Kinda edgy, kinda interesting, only 11 out of 28 chapters are translated to English (with the last update 6 years ago). Not the best thing ever based on what I’ve read but I’d be lying if I said it didn’t hook me in the slightest. Oh well…

      I am totally going to check out Sui and Neri. That looks cute as hell.
