It wouldn’t be the first time I lose a site I read on, but I like the format of this one, and I would have to make another account elsewhere, so for convenience sake I hope it allows over like it usually does.
Anyway, what tf is wrong with people’s brains? I follow some authors/artists and even if I see the raws on certain illegal sites, I pretend I don’t know what’s going on and only comment on what I *should* know. It’s not that hard to comment on their work without telling them you’re ripping them off (or in my case I follow the official English releases, but check out the raws illegally, so I just pretend I haven’t seen the raws).
Most sensible comment I've seen. Please for the sake of this website, let's not make it any more problematic and move on.
Ok, if I like a series enough, I want to buy merch. Lately like 99% of series I read are webcomics and a lot of the, have merch, even some I wouldn’t think are that popular, the sad part is that most of the ones I’m reading and would love merch for don’t have any :(
Of the ones I think are popular, I’m surprised they haven’t made physical releases for Codename Anastasia. I’ve gotten the physical copies of the Passion novels and manwha and Roses and Champagne even got an official English release, so I’m surprised there have not been any news of any physical releases for Codename Anastasia.
Merch wise, always check places like Etsy where small sellers can post their stuff. I took a quick look myself and there's some merch for Codenane Anastasia. Maybe try there?
You can trying searching proxy sites/businesses. Idk where in the world you’re located at but it’s not Asia, which is unfortunate because all of the merch you’re wishing for is probably only being sold in Asia. My only advice is to do your research on the proxy business you’re giving your money to. I found some Codename Anastasia merch. But lowkey I hate this proxy business, and I’d rather not send anyone towards their way, unless it’s you want it as a last resort. Cause they could be making you wait 6 months like they’re doing to me. Try looking at manga stores, figurine stores, and proxy businesses.
I’m in a non-BL slump and sometimes I want to talk to people about things I’m into that are more universal.
I’ve found I enjoy slice-of -slice type stories, but I feel like Slice of life is not a popular genre to talk to people, either.
I’m looking for something more marketable, preferably with a male lead and absolutely NO Romance, and no little siblings/kids either unless the character(s) are well written and not just a prop that causes MC problems.
I tried reading Solo Leveling and couldn’t get into it.
I’ve been eyeing ORV, but haven’t started.
Have read Noblesse, & The King’s avatar.
Thank you!
hmmm i have a feeling u'll like this based on what ure eyeing, enjoy

Thanks. It does seem promising and there are not that many chapters to make it intimidating to try and start.
I've found those to be really good slice of life

Or for manga this (it might feel old or plotless but i say its the king of slice of life, for me)

I love Natsume. I m still waiting for Reiko’s backstory to be revealed.
Thank you for the recommendations.
Thanks, looks interesting.
anime but you WILL love campfire cooking, for a chill wholesome slice of life it got me so hooked bro
Glad to help and find a fellow comrade that likes natsume!!
'A Mild Noble's Vacation Suggestion'-- it's an adventure/action but also has some chill chapters, it's not romance and no kids or such. It's a pretty good read

Mairimashita! Iruma-kun is by far the most endearing, fun, and dynamic shounen I have ever read ^^
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/mairimashita_iruma_kun/
Thank you.
that has a manga tho before anime
true my fault i was under the impression they just wanted manhwa so the anime ver was the first thing to come to mind
Besides BL, i was having trouble reading anything else, but I’ve come to the realization that I like reading slice-of-life type stories with mostly male leads and no romance.
My brother and I randomly started talking about Serial Experiments Lain and I mentioned to him that it’s almost 30 years old. Wow…we didn’t watch it when it came out, but it’s still been a while.
What is the oldest anime you remember watching and were you surprised it’s been that long?
Some of the “modern” anime I’ve seen is already like 5+ years *eek!*
The first anime I ever watched was Death Note and I saw that around 11 years ago. Though I remember watching bits and pieces of other anime before Death Note since my parents and older sibling watched anime before I got into it (things like Dragonball, Naruto, Squid Girl, Chobits, etc.). I'm not really surprised it's been 11 years since I've started watching anime, though its always a bit of a shock when I talk to newer anime fans and they've never even heard of some of the anime that I started out with. That definitely makes me feel a bit old.
yu yu hakusho, its now 30 years old iirc. gosh i feel old even if i watched it only a few years ago
So, No. 6 is getting a sequel and it’s on preorder on Amazon Japan. I’ve purchased off Amazon Germany before using my regular Amazon acct, but when I tried signing into the Japanese site it said my credentials were invalid. Has anyone purchased off Amazon Japan using a non-Japanese Amazon account?
No.6?! Wow, really?! I remember watching the anime a long time ago, I haven't read the LN or read the manga tho.
This was a good Friday!
The chapters for Guiding Hazard and Aesthetics of Unpleasantness were cute, and Shutline is plotting as well.
aesthetic of unpleasstness is out?
I was looking at the raws.
omg pls drop where you found them i wna see them so bad
I own it, but it’s been put away, so I can’t verify the title.
I could have sworn it’s called “My education as a vampire”.
It’s about a vampire who cuts hair.
It’s an older MANGA, like early 2000’s.
Anyone know the name?
Thank you!
It’s the second one.
It was bothering that I couldn’t remember the name.
Every time I see questions of people asking for recommendations (mainly for BL), my brain automatically comes up with webcomic titles, but it’s rare that I remember a manga title to recommend.
I’m curious, does this happen to others as well? BTW, I have nothing against manga, it just that lately all that’s popular are webcomics, so I tend to just remember those titles.
What
I can remember few because they have short title but not like this Tensei kizoku kantei sukiru de nariagaru; Tensei kizoku kantei sukiru de nariagaru ~ jakushō ryōchi o uketsuidanode, yūshūna jinzai o fuyashite itara, saikyō ryōchi ni natteta
No same fr
It’s bc BL webcomic are very popular rn and they’re more likely to get official translations and have English names so those get uploaded. There’s so many yaoi manga on here that have romaji names and are harder to remember or will take many years and volumes to be complete. So many have been abandoned and they will (probably) never be completed or officically translated so it’s very sad, for example: Akiyama-kun (simple name I know) has only four volume but has been updating infrequently since 2012, I’ve seen some that are even longer
Ashita wa Docchi Da! has 11 volumes(ongoing) and is updated to volume 9 here, first published in 2015, and had two updates this year so far. Stay Gold (Hideyoshico) started in 2012 and I believe was updated infrequently due to how it was published. Now it’s finally complete at 6 volumes but an incomplete translation since like 2021. G-defend has like 60/77 volumes and hasn’t had an update since 2018. It’s probably due to how many Japanese yaoi is published(some magazines being seasonal) and the lack of general exportation to have a wider audience. Although yaoi manga has been popular longer it’s much more inconvenient to read unfortunately, webcomics are churned out at a faster rate and usually online before a physical release, much easier to get a hold of
You’re more likely to remember something with an English name and English release than obscure Romani names and super long ones. Even yaoi that is a bit more popular has longer name like Shima-chan Chi no Tsugai Jijou but its name is also How My Daddies Became Mates. Much easier to remember Roses & Champagne
another reason could be bc manhwa/manhuas tend to be longer and are often ongoing, so people tend to be constantly following them and have them more at the top of their minds. BL mangas are both shorter and update less often so are, unfortunately, more easily forgotten (at least, I guess). But as a huge manga fan I'm always remembering them lol
I’ve seen a lot of things, but the things that always excite me is when I discover a new company releasing webcomics, only to realize none of the ones I’d like to see are being released :(
Just discovered that Wet Sand and Cherry Blossoms after winter are getting physical releases by a company called Inklore, there’s also Ize Press releasing ORV, Solo Leveling and Murderous Lewellyn’s Candlelit Dinner.
Codename Anastasia got an English release, but I’d like for it to get a physical release (either and/or the comic and novels) and I own physical releases of Passion (both novels and comics), but they’re not in English.
May I know where did you order/buy your physical copy of PASSION novel??? Is it the KR or TW one??
It’s the Taiwanese version.
I’ve gotten my merch off Koonbooks.
