Wrestling life
http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Love-Buzz

A semi-famous female wrestler suddenly disappears for years, and shows up one day at her old gym with a young child in tow. It's by takako shimura, author of sweet blue flowers and wandering son, and is pretty great with the four translated chapters.

Yeah. Over the course of the series he's gradually shifted/intensified from "dense and grumpy" to "sullen rear end in a top hat with violent tendencies".

That just means there's time for a redemption arc to shoehorn in before the finale where they get together and then the series abruptly ends!

The last time I went camping I had a Calvin and hobbes moment where as we were setting up camp, someone was like "what's this fuzzy thing" and poked it, and it was a loving pile of mosquitoes that proceeded to ruin the entire rest of the trip, and I never went camping again.

Likewise. Good to hear it takes a turn, as fun and cringey as it was, it was getting rather tiresome with no character growth. I think she was just starting to talk to the library girl when I dropped off.

There's a fairly new series about a widow and her neighbor, a highschooler who is on the baseball team and eats a boatload. She loves to cook and she invites him over for dinner every night since otherwise he'd just eat garbage. It's very chill and despite the "ecchi" tag it's not really fanservicey aside from the author's admitted thing for cute girls in sweaters and jeans, and really, that's about the mildest "thing" possible.

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Yakumo-san-wa-Edzuke-ga-Shitai

The relationship between the two main characters is cute, and I honestly wouldn't mind if it stayed platonic, despite the romance tag.

Hey, so this series, I think it's Useless Siblings or something, there was a fairly up-to-date scanlation of it going on, where can that be read? I recall reading some a while ago but those were far behind even then.

Whatever the trend is with Japanese manga and anime and games right now and making real good-looking food, I hope they continue. In related news, Yotsuba continues her buffet lunch adventures and the food looks good there too, though maybe not as good as some other series's

Here's a cute little series that I just discovered. It's a story-based 4koma series called Chubby in the Swimming Club, and is about the obese daughter of a tonkatsu shop owner who joins the swimming club at her new high school so she can lose weight so she can be more attractive to the guy she likes, who doesn't like tubby girls. I gave it a half dozen chapters and it did a few things I didn't expect, and seems like a very charming slice of life series. No fanservice so far either, unless the mere existence of swimsuits counts as fanservice. The four characters in the swim club are your standard assortment of quirks, but they're good representations of them. Also, Katsuyo is actually fat, though she's often portrayed in a kinda chibi way, instead of a character just saying she's fat like Yomi from azumanga daioh.

There is definitely a video on youtube of a choir boy just projectile vomiting on everyone in front of him in the middle of the chorus, and I remember a similar thing happening to the person playing one of the main characters in a play in high school, though it was as they stepped out on stage rather than on a bunch of people. Nerves, man.

new bocchi. As usual, it is Extremely Cute.

I'm not sure how behind the raws the translations are, but they're getting ready to transition to high school now, aren't they? Think the series will continue to follow them into high school?
