Dad is taking this way too gracefully. if it were me i’d just be lying on the floor unresponsive, rethinking every interaction involving Kaori from the past two years.

OTOH, 5 pages of Dad lying in silence would make for a boring comic.

ah, honest, straightforward indulgence. what’s not to love? 😘

just completed the official English translation of Kaguya-Sama: Love is War this morning… which to my despair, only goes up through Vol. 26 (out of 28)! so, um, if anyone knows of quality fan translations for the last two volumes… you’d make my day.

hey, i finished Mousou Telepathy this morning, just wanted to come back here to thank you for the rec :) nobel sure knows how to draaaaag out a plot, but the character growth was worth it!

for manga specifically, Komga can serve and track your progress. it integrates with tachiyomi and also runs a webapp that you can fallback to. i tried Jellyfin for manga and the UI just was not fun to use tbh.

neither of these track your progress publicly in the way that MAL does though, AFAIK.

i hadn’t heard of it, but i see the connection! just peeked at the first few pages, bookmarked so i can come back to it in the evening :)

• Kaguya-sama - Love Is War. i enjoyed Oshi No Ko in anime form & this is the author’s earlier work. first three volumes are in color. it’s a romcom that’s more comedy than romance.
• Sometimes Even Reality Is a Lie: teenage first-love, twist is that an early mistake means her parents think he’s a girl and not a date, and he just goes full into crossdressing when they’re together rather than come clean. whole thing’s in color and more visually impressive than the others on my list here.
• Gabriel Dropout: comedy/slice of life where both angels and devils visit earth undercover, and sort of all end up in a role reversal where the devils are super naive and eager to please while the angels are manipulative or lazy. i put down Nichijou in favor of this: it fills the same “light comedy” niche while being a little more varied and a lot less disjointed.

as always, recs welcome – especially for more stuff that’s in color.
