I checked out a shounen romance manga I'd never read before on a whim, Pashiri na Boku to Koisuru Banchou-san and in a shocking twist it's... Really good???

Like probably the best shounen romance I've read other than 5toubun.

The main character actually realizes the female lead is into him by around the 10th chapter (though he does regress a bit when he realizes he loves her too, because he lacks self-confidence).

The supporting characters are pretty great, too. It's just good.

I'm so happy it's back too, I was sure it was dropped. :woop:

chumbler posted:

Maybe you're right, but after the chapter that literally just dropped I'm less sure.

There was a 50-50 chance of Nozomi kissing Shino there, yeah. :v:

It's still hard to tell how it'll end up!

Whoops that was entirely the wrong link, but you know what I'll leave it, because it still makes me laugh despite knowing nothing about wrestling.

Makoto Hagino's started livestreaming herself working on Nettaigyo lately. Obviously most of us won't be able to participate in the Q&A in the chat, but seeing the manga being worked on is kinda neat IMO.

March Lion's scanlators seem to be going chapter-by-chapter recently rather than waiting for the entire volume to come out, and the latest chapter is A Lot.

I legitimately was wondering about what the link was supposed to mean as I lay in bed.

Yup, following Himawari-san is a special kind of suffering - and it gets even worse when you realize that the scanlation is only on volyme 5, volume 9 was released almost a year ago, and the mangaka has apparently finished working on volume 10, and it should be out next month according to an announcement made on her website today.

On the one hand, I'm happy that there's at least an end in sight, as long as it wasn't a question of the series getting the axe.
On the other hand, with the tectonic pace of the scanlation group, there's simply no telling when we'll get to actually read it without learning Japanese.

It's a CD-ROM caddy and I have no idea why Mac CD drives used them.

I low-key hate myself for knowing this, but it dates back to the Capacitance Electronic Disc format, a phonograph-like vinyl disc which used them to prevent damage to the reader.
Apple apparently thought their very early CD drives so sensitive that they bet on them needing them too? That's the only reasonable explanation I can come up with, except for the fact that the CEDs used a stylus in a groove whereas CDs (like CEDs contemporary competitor, LaserDisc) used optics. :iiam:

Aro best friend (helps) save the day!

What a good manga. Gonna be excited to see how they structure they next volume.

Also some discord friends shared this link with me: https://macadate.wordpress.com/2019/02/27/bloom-into-you-talk-event-beyond-the-last-stop-report/

Rough TL of a recent talk event held with Nakatani, her editor Kusunoki, the anime's director and character designer, and some senior staff. Some good stuff in there IMO.

shockingly, dynasty scans, the site that had to be dragged kicking and screaming into not tagging trans manga as 'trap' or 'futanari', has weird tags

Isn't it the contents of the manga, rather than Dynasty-Scans tagging? I mean I adore some of Miras works, when she tells stories of adult life - but those tags makes me go Big Yike.

Endorph

I mean, there's a difference between a scene where an underage character has sex, and tagging that 'lolicon,' is my point. The former may or may not be depicted in a way that's hosed up, and that hosed upness may or may not be the intentional effect, the latter is just tacky. Dynasty-Scans just tags everything like it's a hentai site.

Yeah, that's true - but how am I gonna judge a book by its cover if I read part of it? :v: Still, I'm just not gonna touch it unless someone I trust tells me it's not as bad as I think it is.
The userscript sites (which supply the Manga Reader userscript which lets you just infinitely scroll on any page, instead of having to deal with a million different kinds of pagination) categorize Dynasty-Scans the same way - I'm pretty sure it's because it has mixed +18 and all-ages content, so it's better to have it categorized as one or the other.
