It's kinda both funny and cool to me that an axed manga from almost 2 decades ago, consistently at the top of the list of most-wanted anime adaptations for almost 10 years,
is now finally getting an anime,
A friend of mine told me that the manga Mii-chan and Yamada-san has recently been getting a lot of attention from Japanese readers,
to the point that even people/youtube channels that never discuss manga at all are talking about it.
It's a shame the translation is gone because this manga is still a bit difficult for me to read in Japanese.
This manga is so stupid.
Hyakkano broke the limit with 100 girlfriends.
How to top that?
Well, let's make it 107 The entry is not yet in MD. Expect soon, I guess?
had to cheat a little bit by moving stuff from on-hold list, doing some strategic viewing/reading,
(kinda forcing myself to watch something I didn't plan to)
but hey, I got some nice round numbers
Recently, there was an announcement of an anime adaptation for a fairly new manga, and some people are wondering how they'll adapt it since the manga currently only has about 18 chapters.
While I don't know if it will be a full-length anime or not, people sometimes forget that each manga has different number of pages in each chapter.
That manga already has 2 volumes out, and it started in 2024.
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
