i hadn't actually read the new chapters before those posts, so going through them i'd say this page perfectly illustrates the kind of abusive guy he is

how the manga handles the whole power and abuse thing are really interesting, esp. later when it starts revealing the alien stuff

can't be translated fast enough imo.

No translations though :(

No translations is my eternal nightmare with manga :v:

Looking around I see a lot of supernatural/shoujo or based on death which is related to horror.

The Embalmer: https://bato.to/comic/_/comics/the-embalmer-r4587

Story focuses on the experience of Shinjyurou Mamiya, a Japanese Embalmer, who explores the life and death of his clients.

It's a shame the manga-ka doesn't do a lot of completed series though.

Shoujo is super easy to read because it's got a lot of furigana. :v:

This reminds me of the curious case of Chihayafuru, which had no furigana at all (other than for names) up until the 14th volume of the manga, which also coincides with the release of the anime adaptation, where it suddenly got furigana slapped on every single kanji. I wonder if it started out as josei and got rebranded as shoujo or something.

Probably a lot more people (and thus also young people) got interested.


Also, it runs in a josei mag, but it really hits more shoujo notes so who knows what it's supposed to be.

I think Koisuru Yankee Girl is romance enough for here, rather than one of the slice of life threads I guess. I wasn't super on board with it at first in no small part to the font the translation used but it got better and I rather like it at the moment. The grandma in the new chapter is pretty, pretty good.

Yeah, it started off shaky and I was afraid it'd just be bad but it's actually ended up pretty cute, especially now that the joke appears to be no longer be 'oh my god i am terrified of and hate this'.

just an FYI for anyone who picked up Don't Be Cruel recently, there's a series of djs/extras by the author you can find under the title Yasashiku Shinaide. Another chapter of it just got released/reuploaded and that reminded me to mention it.

edit:

In terms of will they/won't they romcoms I think the reason I like Kaguya, compared to say Tomo (which is fine but the main romance is barf), is that ultimately both parties for all their comedic antics and shenanigans and "haha I am so much smarter than you!" shticks are still pretty sympathetic with some subtle and not-so-subtle faults that they hopefully/presumably will get over with in time. I feel actually kind of invested at this point that the president gets over his inferiority complex, or that Kaguya can start to be honest, etc. Plus it looks nice and the supporting cast is pretty well rounded out between Hayasaka and the secretary.

Either Hayasaka is WAY too trusting of the President or deep down hates Kaguya or maybe I've just seen too many bad situations because that whole setup left me a little uneasy.

I like the slow reveal over the course of the manga so far that Kuzumi is both aware of her feelings and is 100% on board

there's subtle hints of it earlier too

Screaming Classroom is pretty decent if you don't mind creepy pasta esque stories and terrible things happening to children

Screaming Classroom is actually kinda cute because it reads like the sort of stories elementary students would tell each other. Some of them are definitely legitimately creepy and/or scary, but it also has a distinctly "childlike" quality to it.

I feel like there's psychological horror but nothing I can say this is a good example series. Does Ghost Hunt count? I read the manga and anime.

There were multiple shoujo and josei mags that dealt only in horror but only some of them have been translated, there was a big wave in the 80s - early 90s but it has slowed down a bit since those heady days

That's disappointing. I don't mind reading older manga but apart from extremely famous titles it's a challenge to find anyone still interested in scanlating them vs the latest titles.

Mononoke Soushi is one of my favorite Horror Josei, it's more dreamlike than actual horror but has plenty of grotesqueness without being disgusting.

Also it's done and finished.

The new chapter of Namaikizakari is good, it's nice to see the younger characters growing and stepping up. One of the things I like about this manga in general is how time has progressed all the way through -- one of the conflicts is how they're limited in the time they have together as classmates and teammates and I think it's done a good job keeping that consistent and using it to push everything forward.

also I love how dumb they all are lol
