This is definitely not a lie




Oh neat, that should definitely be one of those that get an extended episode 1 ala oshi no ko so they get to the volume 1 drop immediately.

The origin of its rather eclectic name just dropped in a recentish chapter and it rules lol.

Any new (last 5 years) horror or thriller manga with a more 'serious' feel to recommend? By serious I guess I mean something with less of a splatter/b-movie vibe - Manhole, Monster, and Homunculus are good examples of what I'm looking for.

natsume arata no kekkon has a little bit of gore but otherwise is an interesting thriller with a good concept

I only finally got around to just starting it the other day, but “My Home Hero” starts out pretty freaking dark And is interesting so far. Hopefully others will comment in here though if it goes off the rails in a bad way, I hadn’t heard anything about it like that yet and I’m only about five chapters in.

Separately, a manhwa named “Bastard” about a teenager who is the son of a serial killer. It might be worth a look.

I didnt finish reading my home hero but at the arc I stopped pretty far in it was still pretty good

I never checked but someone told me Goblin Slayer never returns to showing a bunch of graphic rape after the first chapter/episode. If true, then why the gently caress even start with that, and if not true, its a case where "show don't tell" is not to the benefit of the story only the titillation of the audience.

they lied, I'm pretty sure there's more after that

I have it the ol three episode try and as far as I can tell Goblin Slayer graduates from gratuitous and graphic opening edgelord poo poo to being just extremely boring "super cool D&D story thing that totally happened copy paste" The kind of thing where someone puts a scroll of town portal at the bottom of the ocean to make a water cannon or something. Nothing of value was lost.

I read on a bit in a the manga since some of the dark or realistic fantasy elements tickeled my fancy, but, and I'm sure this will surprise you, it's Goblin rape fetish all the way down. Goblins raping people just never stops being a thing.

To add on to this one, SOIL by Kaneko Atsushi was quite trippy and interesting. His new series, EVOL has a bit of The Boys feel to it and I wanna see where it goes with it.

Michiru's guardian spirit(?) going from head octopus to cool and/or cursed fashion accessories is extremely powerful development.

I felt like it only worked as a short manga, but it just keeps going. The show is outright bad.

Good to know, thanks! I am not too far along still because its a bit of a heavy read and I only like to get 1-2 chapters in at a time. I'll see if I get tired of it as well.

good ending. love the mangaka’s macho boomer rants. strange development with the suicide frequency which left things a little too clean but otherwise very satisfying. all the best characters survived, hell yea. the sequel was shorter and as such had fewer slice-of-life/laid-back moments but I’m looking forward to the third contract (and hoping that everyone but akira and youko stay out of it)

He didn't seem to even know it was Tetanus, and I think there are still things you can do to help manage the symptoms, like the muscle spasms.

Edit: looking at it again, and just noticed the tag given by the first doctor just indicates she's going to die and to just give pain medication until then. The second panel with him is maybe him explaining this and being tuned out. The second just seems to not even examine her.
