    Ore ni Trauma wo Ataeta Joshi-tachi ga Chirachira Mitekuru kedo, Zannen desu ga Teokure desu - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - I'm Quitting School!

    So I tried reading the LN because this seemed like the perfect guilty read. And honestly my main takeaway is that this isn't really as trash as you'd think. You have to first accept that the MC is sort of cursed. Like, cursed by the author, sort of the reverse of plot armour. As a sort of...

    Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi o Suru - Vol. 14 Ch. 108

    Sure, but none of that changes the fact that the writing and the execution is shoddy. Communication being hard and complex is not a novel idea, it's basically the lynchpin to any proper drama. And given this is a manga, and not Chicken Soup or an inspirational column, how the story executes and...

    Chuusotsu Worker kara Hajimeru Koukou Seikatsu - Vol. 7 Ch. 24 - First Year of a Correspondence School (Part 3)

    So after reading this on mangadex, I was hooked enough to want to read more, so I went to the "Pocket Comics" told about in this release. Unfortunately It's not a platform i recommend. It being technically free actually may make things worse. Plus, it's filled with non-serious shoujo webtoons...

    Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi o Suru - Vol. 14 Ch. 108

    Glad that at least someone else thinks the same. The chapter is not unsatisfying for sure, and I can see why the couple's first antics are endearing everyone. But writing wise, all i can is that it feels shoddy. Esp since this moment has had a 13 volume buildup. I sure hope this isn't because...

    Honzuki no Gekokujou ~Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen~ Dai 3-bu 「Ryouchi ni Hon o Hirogeyou!」 - Vol. 6 Ch. 34 - Swapping Lives -…

    The "changed policies at the gate" were nothing but a secondary security measure to prevent Veronica's fraud, since the Aub was away at the Aub's conference and wouldn't have been able to provide any permission. The permit was fraudulently made by Veronica, and this fraud was actually...

    Rent-A-Girlfriend - Vol. 37 Ch. 322 - The Date And The Girlfriend (2)

    The last chapter I read was probably 296(when they helped out with the child care centre). Honestly the manga had "so bad it's good" energy for quite a while, I think that's passed now. I doubt I'll be able to browse through reddit comments every chapter laughing at the manga lol. It was fun...

    Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi o Suru - Ch. 106

    This may actually be true. I think the author intended for the Haniel cosplay to be the final cosplay costume arc, for now at least. Given the intensity of this cosplay, anything else coming afterwards would feel not up to the mark. However, she seems to have had no idea how to make that play...

    Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi o Suru - Ch. 106

    Okay, first off, this comment makes me wanna try Nagataro, though it's premise always put me off. Secondly, I think your points are quite valid. Their relationship has for the most part been stagnated, and the drama elements are just too sparse and incomplete, with the author basically stalling...

    Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi o Suru - Ch. 106

    What's with the drastic Translation differences between the 2 releases? Like even ignoring the many minor differences, the major ones are just too drastic Potteto, Page 5 "I won't let our past affect how I act, but I imagine you don't even really want to talk to me at all... Sorry" "I don't...

    Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi o Suru - Ch. 104

    I agree somewhat. The manga was almost completely slice of life with romance added in, and none of that romance was drama heavy in the least. Don't see how people are pretending that this wasn't a "romcom". Sure there were some drama elements, but they were few and far between. We got squat...

    Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi o Suru - Vol. 13 Ch. 102

    It seems to me that the author simply doesn't know how to progress the story with some proper and serious drama, and is instead still trying to make it work through the slow burn slice-of-life elements. There was so much buildup to the Haniel cosplay, and i was so sure we'd get at least some...

    Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi o Suru - Vol. 13 Ch. 97

    Groups and people are free to scanlate whatever they want, and an infamous chapter of Kaguya-sama had actually more than 10 scanlations for multiple reasons.So no one can or should attack that. But frankly, I don't think that's something to be celebrated and is often motivated by the desire to...

    Yofukashi no Uta - Ch. 164 - Curse

    Kiku didn't deserve such a tranquil death, she should have suffered much more given all the mayhem she has caused. But I guess no one cares about revenge, so everything is okay! And while everything's resolved, everything also feels somewhat pointless. I can get why people are disappointed. On...

    Wortenia Senki - Vol. 7 Ch. 31

    the difference in tone with the LN is pretty visible in this chapter. LN has a more serious and less comedic tone
