Since we were already talking about So Cute in this thread I just wanted to mention that if you liked So Cute, or if you like VERY VERY CALMING shoujo manga you should read Love at Fourteen.
I mention that because I finally sat down to read Vol 6 and it was brilliant.
Even just looking at the front and back covers just makes me take on a more relaxed demeanor:
I could use some very relaxing Light novels to read as well.

I got through volume 3 of So Cute it Hurts
-
Read Tohyo Game Volume 3 today. Eh. I guess it was ok, though the overall outcome was predictable even if the path to get there was shaky. I still like the first volume best.
-
Read the 5 cms per second manga yesterday. ( Fun fact : I accidently bought the manga thinking it was the LN. Turns out there isn't even a LN of 5cm per second, only an unlicensed short novel).
Couldn't fall asleep the whole night and when I did fall asleep, I had freaking nightmares. I should stop getting attached to characters so much... Now I need something to heal my broken heart, so I'll read isekai smartphone.

@Hakomari Time to read Grimgar. /s
Paying to Win is pretty light.
-
I don't really like VRMMO settings but thanks anyway(Also I am already reading SAO novels, I think that is enough VRMMO for me). And regarding Grimgar, I have seen the anime (and read some parts of the LN) so I know what you are implying. That is depressing as well but it didn't affect me as much. "5 cms per second" manga/anime and "Hakomari" light novels has seriously traumatized me.
-
Hmm, such a huge list... and mostly harem ecchi.
A lot of vrmmo, school life etc.
It started with sekirei and then Uma no Misaki...

I'm reading:
My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness (Don't sleep on this if you aren't LGBT; I'm not, and I still find some poignant stuff about depression and anxiety to take away from the non-fiction narrative).
Goodnight PunPun V4 (library loan; I just can't get into it; not in the mood for super depressing and bleak slow narratives right now; I'm in a "thought" section with PunPun's first person perspective).
I also tried Bunny Drop and Yotsuba+, but those aren't really my bag. Yotsuba not as funny as Azumanga Daiou to me (maybe it's the longer format, maybe it's the more innocent plot?). =(
Besides that, focused on my J-Novel novels, Sound Euphonium novel (Never watched the show), and potentially starting Mardock Scramble.

Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun
Struggling to take these out through my state wide library loan. The listings for every volume are all together, so I just keep getting volume 1. I know I should just buy them, but eh, gotta save some money if I can. =(
-

A Bride's Story
Now I would never force someone to read a manga or interject my own opinions...however this should be high on your catch up list.
Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

@Terrence oh boy I know what you mean, I have to pay car insurance plus phone bill plus monthly subs which adds up to like 200$+ monthly. So I have no money to spend on things I want unless they are on sale which is like never the case. Nothing compared to my parents who pay like 3k$ a month lol I shouldn't be complaining tbh.

Saekano, Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko!, Haganai, Shishunki Bitter Change and Dungeon Meshi the last one surprised me quite a lot as it turned out to be a quite funny story.

Yeah, I buy them on Bookwalker - they usually have a money off voucher each month so I pick up a lot of my regular manga reads there. :slight_smile: Volume 1 is cheap as well, which is how I came across the series in the first place.

The reason it's a catch up is because I've been buying the physical, hardback volumes (along with Vinland Saga) and it's expensive so I tend to only pick a volume up when I've got a voucher or ask for a volume as a present. I really do love what I've read so far though and the artwork is so pretty! I'm a sucker for detailed artwork and unique art styles. :)

I really am glad this is out. I related to a lot of the depression and anxiety parts of the manga. There is a follow up series that details how the author copes with her anxieties and I hope Seven Seas picks this up too.

Is Die Wergelder worth looking into? The first volume isn't too bad a buy digital (physical was 20 bucks though; at that price, I'm out with virtually everything but an amazing looking hardcover with full color portraits).
I am always looking for manga a bit off the board, maybe bigger in page size but smaller in series length (something like Doubt).
Saw at my B+N, and am curious about:
Land of the Lustrous
The Life-Changing Manga of Tidying Up (rented from the library).
Delicious in Dungeon
Magical Girl Site / Magical Girl Apocalypse
Galko-Chan
-
There's a Yen Press sale going on at B+N, Buy 2 get 1 Free.
Any denser manga or unique LNs worth getting?
I've got:
Psycome 2
Psycome 3And I need a third book. I could always get Azumanga Daioh for my collection, but it is one I've been able to rent from the library.
Also, I don't think Magical Raising Project is in the sale online. Goblin Slayer 3 is a definite no in the sale too. At least there's
Overlord 1-4, Kieli, and Book Girl available. -
This is what I am current reading for manga.
Railgun
Accelerator
Maga-Tsuki
Delicious in a dungeon
Interview with monster girls
My Monster girl is to Cool for You
Princess Resurrection
Restaurant to Another World
Log Horizon - The West Wind
Fairy Tail - Blue Mistral
