a group of scrappers find an abandoned spaceship in an attempt to find loot to sell. instead, they find a kid’s diary setting the scene of what happened on the ship before the crash. a short read with an excellently creepy atmosphere. bonus points for the unsettling art style, negative points for the weak plot twist at the end. 7/10

cons/

ongoing. comedy, horror, romance, oi

hilda gets transported into a horror game, where works as a maid for a noble family. what could she possibly do to prevent deaths when she’s the only one who knows that the esteemed son of the family is secretly a murderer and a devil? this comic is so unserious and it is a masterclass in tonal shifts. hilda gets into endless shenanigans because of her strong desire to live and her extreme shamelessness. if i were her i would have just died LOL. 8/10

A Stepmother's Märchen

• Author: orka
• Genres: Fantasy / Romance / Webtoons

ongoing. family, politics, regression

oh, shuri. one of my fav protags of the genre: kind, devoted, with an iron will to do right by her step-kids. some heavy themes of child abuse and pseudo-incest. while this is typical for the rofan genre, this comic excels at making the reader uncomfortable with these topics instead of using them as shock value or a romantic fantasy. after everything is said and done, there’s real tragedy underlying shuri’s strength. love her. 8/10

• Author: HAYASHIDA Q.
• Genres: Action / Adventure / Comedy / Fantasy / Horror / Mature / Psychological / Seinen / Supernatural

completed. action, fantasy, gore, comedy

dorohedero is unrelentingly, skin-peelingly stylish. every facet of this society is grotesque—the muck of the cities, the viscera of the masks, the stink of a corpse hole made from centuries of arbitrary violence. a story that makes you question your tangible identity (are you your body?) through some of the most violent sequences i’ve had the pleasure of reading. crazy ass pacing (positive). funny, horrifying, and tender in all the right places. 10/10

• Author: Joumyaku
• Genres: Manga / Shounen / Violence / Action / Thriller Manga Action Thriller

ongoing. shounen, action, modern day, romance

gero is an unsociable assassin, but this doesn’t stop him from wanting to find love! love the dynamic art style that really pumps up the action and the main character, who is equally ditzy as he is sincere. if u squint, u could mistake it for a harem, but i think it’s nice that he’s dating around before deciding on a relationship… it def doesn’t have a “harem” feel. but hey, i’m holding out for the gay ending. fast-paced and easy to read! 9/10

• Author: misaki (岬),8key; momoti; sando
• Genres: Shounen / Adaptation / Adventure / Fantasy / Historical / Slice of Life

ongoing. isekai-ish, adventure, slice of life

a story about a nobleman adapting in a new world. lizel is the real pull here—charismatic and gentle and unexpectedly cunning. what sets this manga apart is that even though it’s funny and has a couple of running gags about the main character, lizel never loses this elegant, enigmatic aura that draws the cast of characters and the audience towards him. a lovely manga about the bonds of companionship (tho it def has gay undertones as well!) 8/10

Miss Little Gray

• Genres: Manga / Isekai / Romance / Slice of Life Manga Isekai Romance Slice of Life

4/5

pros/
+ really funny! i’d describe it more of a comedy than a romance
+ despite the comedy, there was actually a somewhat serious plot that revolved around class struggles… it wasn’t too melodramatic but it tugged at my heartstrings
+ mc is so charming and funny LOL everyone has a good chemistry tbh

cons/
+ the beginning was a little slow and the ending felt a little rushed! pacing was all over the place

• Author: suzuki yuuki,ashio ranteira
• Genres: Shounen / Reincarnation / Action / Martial Arts / Adventure / Virtual Reality / Magic / Military / Fantasy / Adaptation

ongoing. fantasy politics, war tactics, isekai

verna is a son of a count that has knowledge of the catastrophic future. this manga really excels at tone, worldbuilding, and politics. it’s hard to have nobles talk in that slick, roundabout way that belies their intentions, but this manga does it so well! the illustrations are gorgeous, the settings feel so lived-in, the fashion is cohesive and so is the architecture… a gritty isekai that’s easy on the eyes! 8/10
