    "The more you preach [piracy], the more Japanese artists lose faith in the foreign market."

    It absolutely is a service issue. If something akin to steam existed for manga, you can bet I'd be all over that without even thinking. Netflix and Steam both vastly reduced piracy for a time, until the market started getting fragmented again. What do both have in common? Reasonable pricing...

    The Three-Body Problem

    I really enjoyed reading this series. What's particularly interesting about them is the way that Liu takes classic scifi tropes and presents them in unique ways, making the experience of reading his novels at once both familiar and fresh, a feeling not entirely unlike deja vu. I hope the...

    We Shall Now Begin Ethics

    @krippr Philosophy and Ethics are inherently pretentious. You could make an argument that the manga relies overly on quotes from famous philosophers to make its point, but I think it does a pretty good job given the constraints placed on it both by page length, format, and target demographics...

    Welcome to Religion in Another World!

    Ah yes, religions like Mariwo and Bloodborne. Honestly disappointed that the author didn't go for a praise the sun joke there, perhaps that meme isn't as popular in Japan.

    Maou no Ore ga Dorei Elf wo Yome ni Shitanda ga, Dou Medereba Ii?

    @Turkeyjerkey It's a lazy writing trope that became popular in web novels because it is a shortcut to having a heroine fall for the protagonist. It can be done well, but the majority of web novels that use it are written by highly inexperienced authors, so they lean heavily on what they...

    Shibito no Koe wo Kiku ga Yoi

    Gonna miss this one to be sure. There was something anachronistic about it that was super charming. Hope her new series is just as good!

    Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san

    Tanuki girl doesn't stand a chance. She ain't got that S-tier fluff.

    Wakamono no Kuro Mahou Hanare ga Shinkoku desu ga, Shuushoku shite Mitara Taiguu Iishi, Shachou mo Tsukaima mo Kawaikute Saikou desu!

    I have to say that as confusing and arguably out of place as I find those "credit pages", the level of vitriol they generate here is remarkably disproportional to what is deserved. Incredibly awkward though it may be, their hearts are at least in the right place. Wanting to live in a better...

    Majutsu Gakuin wo Shuseki de Sotsugyoushita Ore ga Boukensha wo Hajimeru no wa sonna ni okashii darouka

    Personally, I find that the party interactions in this are several steps above the average fantasy series, and that raises my enjoyment of it considerably.

    MOMO: The Blood Taker

    The only thing preventing this from being a truly top-tier series is the incredibly uneven pacing. I still love it, though.

    Naughty Succubus "Saki-chan"

    BABYLON BURGER. Putting the best gag in the background, I'm dyin' here.

    Saikyou no Ossan Hunter Isekai e ~ Kondokoso Yukkuri Shizuka ni Kurashitai ~

    Even by fantasy standards, Monster Hunter "humans" are absurdly strong and durable. It shouldn't come as a big surprise that one of them would clean up in a more generic fantasy world.

    A Mild Noble's Vacation Suggestion

    Seems very promising thus far. The protagonist reminds me more than a little bit of Olivier from Kiseki, just without fawning over every woman he sees. :)

    Honzuki no Gekokujou ~Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen~ Dai 1-bu 「Hon ga Nai nara Tsukureba Ii!」

    @UntappedChaos It's a little bit complicated, but in a nutshell a number of scanlation groups pulled all their content from mangadex because they think the site hurts their patreon revenue (and of course, they don't get money from ads or bitcoin miners like they can with their own viewers). I...

    Choukadou Girls

    So glad to have more of this. Needs more Vernois though. :)

    Lust Geass

    Supernatural silliness aside, seems like they'd all be happy with a polyamorous relationship. But we gotta have drama, so that can't happen.

    Isekai Ojisan

    Calling it now, Tsundere-chan is going to wind up coming to Japan and he's still going to blow her off somehow, all while his nephew desperately tries to set him straight.

    Asobinin wa Kenja ni Tenshoku Dekiru tte Shittemashita? ~ Yuusha Party o Tsuihou Sareta Lv 99

    I have to say, I'm enjoying the disgust in the comments more than the series itself, and the manga is pretty fun. MEGA OPPAI is not for everyone. Viewer discretion is advised.

    Boukensha ni Naritai to Miyako ni Deteitta Musume ga S Rank ni Natteta - Kurokami no Ikusaotome

    I thought it couldn't get any more wholesome. I was wrong.

    Asebi and Adventurers of Sky World

    @Keetonman Because there is no direct L/R equivalent in Japanese, you have to determine what is best given the context. The original author has the final say, of course, but that's not something that they're necessarily thinking about when they write. Take リナ for example. Is that Rina or...
