Another week in the books. Let's chat about manga in the general discussion thread! Feel free to use this thread for questions, comments, recommendations, etc.

Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).

I've mostly been reading my usual stuff so not much to say about that, but there is an exception: Shueisha launched a new site that hosts a whole bunch of their manga free-of-charge so I gave that a spin with a josei ice skating manga called THE MOMENT. Honestly after 9 chapters I couldn't really get into it so I dropped it, but the website itself is definitely worth checking out: https://mangamillion.shueisha.co.jp/en/manga-list

They have a ton of manga, some of which are translated into quite a few languages. They claim this was done 100% with professional human translators, though of course the translation quality varies wildly. I haven't come across anything too crazy, but I've heard from people reading in languages other than English that they got stiff translations and English onomatopoeia transliterated into their language's writing system rather than translated into an onomatopoeia of the correct language. This makes me wonder if it was a native English speaker translating a manga from English to Vietnamese or whatever rather than an native Vietnamese speaker translating from Japanese to Vietnamese (usually the better way to do things). Of course, there are plenty of manga in that list with good translations too. Those just get less attention.

As for what to read there, they've got most of the Weekly Shounen Jump stuff of course. The following titles also stuck out to me:

  • Kaguya-sama: Love is War
  • Kowloon Generic Romance
  • Golden Kamuy
  • The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You
  • Legend of the Galactic Heroes

Also lots of shoujo and josei stuff I don't know, if you're into that.
