I tried to spend a bit more time on my backlog again so I’ve got some new things to write about this week, which is nice. Here’s what I managed to check out since the last thread:

• Akari - short (5 chapters) story about family, belonging and craftsmanship. It’s really sweet and has some great panels throughout.
• After the Rain - an older series by Mayazuki Jun, author of Kowloon Generic Romance. It’s about a high school student in love with a manager at her part-time job. Not as interesting or pretty as Kowloon but it’s fun enough, will probably stick with it for a bit longer.
• Ressentiment - 30-year-old fat loser decides to get a virtual girlfriend, said GF turns out to be a bit special. I’m a bit torn on this one as I’m kind of interested in the primary mystery around the girl but at the same time I’m not too hot on the humor and really dislike the character art - especially in real world portions where characters are purposefuly drawn extra ugly (both for laughs and to provide bigger contrast between real and VR). I’ll probably drop this one unless something really spectacular happens in the next few chapters.

On a different note, after trying the new [Discussion] tag myself and seeing it used by others I realized I actually do care about this debate. This wouldn’t be a problem if Lemmy (web) would have a proper tag system but as it is now I’m joining the [DISC] resistance.
