What did you all read last week? (26 june - 2 july)
Noticed there isn't a pinned message with this, which was my favorite part of the subreddit, so let's talk!
Anything goes, share your thoughts on what you read, treat it as a recommendation or just a log, tell people what you dropped or what you caught up to, just say whatever you feel like about what you've read this past week, there is no correct format.
Just say if something includes spoilers.
Highlight of the week for me is Mashle ending. The series is not entirely original; it is essentially the same concept and genre as “Muscles Are Better Than Magic!” and “Mx0”. What set Mashle apart is the ridiculousness, but there is a limit to how far you can push that.
I’m very glad it ended when it was still interesting.
I normally only read Japanese releases. I started Sukeban Deka volume 2 last week. It's a 70's shojo manga, although it has a surprising amount of action and violence for something aimed at girls. One of its spin offs was released recently, so the original series got a reprint.
Death is the Only Ending For the Villainess updated on my mirror so I binged that. Was sweet.
Rereading Rosen Garten Saga right now and its better than I remember. Honestly this and Oshi No Ko are the two series I really get excited for right now.
Berserk Vol. 1: seems interesting, very fast pacing, little exposition
Choujin X Vol. 3: this manga keeps getting better
The Summer Hikaru died Vol. 1: probably dropping this one, the art was its highlight but I’m not that much of a fan of BL
I’ve been finally reading through Tokyo Ghoul. I’ve watched the first two seasons of the anime but I have never read the manga. I’m also reading it in Japanese, so progress is very slow. I’m still enjoying it though!
