I welcome the Touge Oni surge. Do you mean manga actually released in 2023? New Dowman series just dropped, and Noboru Segawa is now writing a new manga about mushrooms or something after Umibe no Q. I'm keeping an eye on both.

Nice list. You'd probably enjoy Jiro Matsumoto's stuff, which I'm always happy to go to bat for. He has a pretty consistent style, so pick whichever of his completed manga catches your interest and see how you like it. Yamikin Ushijima-kun is also really good. Different style and a lot more...

Alien 9

Sounds like it might be Ojiichan Shinanai. Although "middle-aged" might be pushing it.

Safe recs: Kaiji, if you haven't already given it a try. A slight bit outside the style of the other series you listed, but I feel you would probably still enjoy it. The first arc alone makes it well worth picking up. Of the ones you already picked, I'll also third Kingdom. Side recs: Ashita...

I really like Sakuranbo Syndrome and the dynamic between its two heroines. There's a lot of twists, drama, love and tension that surprisingly avoids a lot of the typical misunderstandings, but makes it no less painful for the characters involved. A good adult romance. Emma is also nice. A...

A fitting conclusion. Oshimi was really killing it with the two page spreads throughout this series, and this final one is no exception. I'm very relieved the ending didn't try to pass off something trite like Seiichi starting a post-timeskip family as a conclusion to all that misery. You'd...

What exactly are you looking for? Something that's mainly a good source for recommending new stuff to read, or something that's good for analyses/dissections of completed series you've presumably read? Online reviewers often mix the two, and I don't really like going into a new series without...

I'm a fan of this one too, it's pretty crazy. Here's a scattershot of some series I think are interesting and would recommend. The only criteria is that they are all complete (and occasionally axed but with a satisfying conclusion), so you have something to sink your teeth into without waiting...

Dungeon Meshi and Chainsawman? 1. The country of Japan collectively attempts a cultural revolution in a bid to beat Real Madrid. 2. The country of Japan collectively enforces a ping pong-driven dystopia in a bid to beat China at the Olympics. 3. The IRL author of a semi-popular romcom manga...

Minoru Furuya's works have increasingly shifted towards a more detailed, realistic style over time, paired with exaggerated reaction panels. Saltiness is probably the most similar in tone and style to something like The Fable. If you like Takehiko Inoue, be also sure to check out his older...

It felt a bit too sloppy for me to properly enjoy. The story moves a bit too quickly through some common zombie story scenarios, and doesn't really give time for anything to sink in that might otherwise hook you in a bit more, like characters outside the main group or going deeper into its more...

Got it!

Correct for those two. Incorrect. It's

Got it! Shigurui?

Others try to guess it. 1. A midget and a hungry hobo spend their idle days mocking the fatty that lives below them. When she finally leaves, they turn their attention to their mentally challenged new housemate. 2. In the dog-eat-dog world of corporate business, only the smell fetishist with...

Flan wants to die, a doujin by Tsukumizu from before Girls' Last Tour.

Chess' equivalent of a battle shonen secret technique. More accurately, a XVth-ish century nerf to the "pawns can now move two squares" update patch.

In this economy?! Do you know how much money wizards charge by the hour, let alone the several months for an entire voyage? Besides, another wizard has probably whipped up some teleportation circle that brings your goods instantly to a market the next continent over for a small fee, indirectly...

More Takahashi Yousuke is always welcome! Thanks for picking this one up.
