I think it’s just a reference to a bit in the chapter.

There’s manga?! Is it a straight up adaptation or does it expand on the show in any way?

It did, this is apparently a one off and won’t be continued any further (｡•́︿•̀｡)

Just started reading this weekend and I’m already caught up. It’s both painful and fun experience whenever that happens but eh, fun things are fun.

Now back to suffering waiting for any updates for all the other stuff I read…

Not an artist so the point still stands :P

It is nice though, especially since author’s taste is pretty great in that regard.

Not a fan of family dinners, I presume?

It’s just such an alien mindset. I like how author managed to make it disturbing without falling into full-on gore as a crutch.

They just seem to be continuing as a happy, human eating family. But yeah, ending could definitely be improved.

I love this series, never fail to bring a smile to my face.

Mitsuki has to be stopped, she’s becoming too powerful.

Oh, OK. I thought by “Helmet” you meant Alving rather than a different character, makes more sense.

Guess I’ll add it to the pile.

Never heard of this series before so I’m just going off of the description but I don’t really see it?

Alvin is neither a loner (he’s a beginner adventurer who sucks, that’s why he’s alone) nor a delinquent (he’s a really nice guy to pretty much everyone) and while I understand the boke - tsukkomi transition, complete change of character would be a bit much for such comparison, wouldn’t it?

That said, I might be completely wrong since I know nothing about the other manga. Is it any good?

I’m not sure what’s more impressive - his ability to catch strays from anyone and everyone or that he’s still hanging on to being an adventurer.

Man, I haven’t read BL since “The Wired Red Wild Card” arc and boy it’s good to be back.

Really like the new girl so far, though both how happy everyone is and those new ambitious musings Rock’s been spewing this chapter make me a little worried. I hope I’m just paranoid.

Thanks for posting!

Eh, I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. We have plenty of comedy based on serious topics, in manga and other media - that doesn’t make them any less serious or important.
Personally, I’d be more worried about a concentrated push of topics/narrative made by corporations or governments than one relatively unknown manga.

Let’s not get crazy and treat everything seriously all the time. Hell, sometimes it feels like people who’ve been through really bad stuff are more willing to laugh about it than those who didn’t. Respect and thoughtfulness are important, yes, but so is humor - humans can find it in the worst of times, that’s our strength.

As for manga itself, it’s funny enough. Not really my type of thing long term but I didn’t really find anything wrong with it. Never been to a prison though.

I got an urge to reread BIBLIOMANIA.
It’s a short (12 chapters), creepy story about a girl named Alice stuck in an empty room. It has supernatural horror and post-apocalypse elements as well as some really cool, imaginative and freaky art. One of my favorites.

As for ongoing series, two I follow updated this week:

• A Useless Idol and the Only Fan in the World
• The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn’t a Guy at All

Both really funny and cute stories, definitely worth a check if you didn’t hear about them.

Apparently Kono Healer, Mendokusai also updated few hours ago, so that too.

It’s great! Keeps the quality pretty well so far.

I like the new additions as always but holy shit, they’re in the same university?! Unexpected but not an unwelcome news.

It was one of the more “serious” scenes in a while, wasn’t it? Like, I’m not really worried about anything happening to Hana for example. Although… maybe her scene (and possible intervention of Michiru’s sister) will be the twist this time.

What do you mean? Looks like normal high-school hijinks to me.

Propaganda is working!
