I've only heard of the fame (or infamy depending on how you look at it) of this year's "kono LN sugoi" winner.
From the man who brought you the "Pentagon of Doom" and the "Equilateral Love Triangle," they say.
Some mangaka have decided to stylize their volume numbering using Roman numerals.
I do wonder if they'll regret that decision when they get to volumes 28-38.
(If they even make it that far)
Watching the live-action film adaptation of Yamada9999.
(It's like a small effect after a little dive into the world of manga hiatus last week)
I was a little surprised when I heard the anime characters' voices in the film.
Turns out they also used anime VAs for the in-game characters.
Kinda interesting to me.
This manga reminds me of being a party pooper at last year's Halloween party, playing WWYD with my friends.
The prompt was “zombie apocalypse”, and my answer was that I wanted to learn magic, because that scenario indicated that we had entered a fantasy world.
Casually dipping my toes into the world of manga hiatuses, just for fun.
I see there are many manga whose status will remain written as hiatus as long as the author is still alive.
If I were to propose a new status for manga, it would be "limbo" status for manga that have passed like, I don't know, a one-year hiatus?
There was a manga, when it first appeared here on MD last year, and I gave it a 4.
Which impelled someone to ask why I gave it such a low rating?
I simply replied I didn't like it. What else could I say?
The guy said I shouldn't judge too quickly. And I was like "uh, sure"
Today I saw the 3rd volume in the bookstore.
Final volume
Well, I feel vindicated.
Good luck next time, I guess?
Most manga seem to exist in a world where time has frozen or is looping.
Take Detective Conan, for example.
Passed its 30th anniversary already, and I can't remember. Have they graduated yet?
On the other hand, some grow with their readers.
Such is the case with Ryugasaki-san
Weekend of non-stop rainstorms.
Been holed up in a manga cafe all day.
Read some good books, some not so good books,
and some I really wanted to throw across the room in frustration.
There's a sign in the long subway corridor warning wheelchair users to be careful because the floor is sloping.
But at the end of this long corridor, there's only a staircase.
What is this? A magical healing corridor?
But that was enough to make my stupid brain pause for a moment when I wanted to know what volume the book was.
