TELOMERE - a completed manga about zombie apocalypse. Nice mystery and suspense. The ending feels a bit flat, but nonetheless it was a good stopping point. At first I thought that few elements are there for BS reason, but they are plot relevant elements. Enjoyable read.

I finally took some time to start migrating my library after Comick's closure. It's been a rather mixed experience so far - some series aren't up to date on other sources while other turned out to have multiple chapters I wasn't aware of. I still have a few of titles to go through but things are slowly moving forward.
Now onto this weeks updates.
::: spoilers A Cool Girl and a 12cm Promise I finally caught up with the amusement park arc and... well, what can I say - it finally happened!
The whole thing was really sweet to read through and I'm glad it didn't take another 100 chapters to get to this point. I've seen people theorise that this is because waning sales (volume 3 didn't have a physical release supposedly) but it doesn't really matter, it's not axed yet and we got the fluff, that's that. Another good thing is that, according to the afterword, this isn't the end - if nothing terrible happens we should have plenty of story left to expand on the blooming romance. I can't wait. :::
::: spoilers Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess! I finally caught up to with the all currently available chapters. While I like it overall I'm not quite sure what to think about the recent twist - it makes sense and is relevant to the plot but at the same time it doesn't really feel that important? Even MCs kinda move on from it pretty quickly when you'd expect it to be more of a big deal based on how it was presented.
I don't know. I need to think about it for a bit, I guess. :::
::: spoilers For Better or For Worse I love Dillon, I love how she's written, I love how she's drawn and I can't get enough of all the smug and gremlin faces she does - she's great! I also absolutely adore her relationship with Emily (her sister). It's so sweet and heartwarming I'd be more than happy to read a version of this series with an extended prologue focusing on the two.
As for the story itself... I really like it but, again, I'm a bit mixed on the twist at the end. It felt unnecessary and didn't bring anything worthwhile to the story in my opinion. It didn't ruin it either to be fair, it just kinda happened. Maybe my reaction has to do with the fact I don't really care about "fate" as a plot point, I'm not sure. :::
::: spoilers Fool Night I just caught up with the last few chapters. I know I've mentioned this before but I'm really not sure why I'm still reading this. This series started as an interesting mystery in an apocalyptic scenario only to turn into some over the top action nonsense with a sprinkling of misery on top.
I'm really tired of the current arc and if it doesn't end soon, or is followed by another action focused one, I'm done. This isn't what made me interested in the story and it's definitely not why I'm still hanging around from time to time.
It sucks because I did like it early one. It is what it is, I guess. :::
I finally took some time to start migrating my library after Comick’s closure. It’s been a rather mixed experience so far
The comick migration has been brutal for me. I ended up just dropping tons of series that weren't really anywhere else other than MD (where the upload rate is way down compared to pre-purge). I have tried to add a lot of new sources to Mihon for different scanlation groups to try to keep up with stuff, but there are only so many extensions that work. I am not about to join a bunch of SL group discord servers to keep up with some of these series.
Don't even remind me about discord. I'm still mad that tons of communities came up with a genius idea that removing their resources from easily searchable public sites/forums/wikis and moving them to a chat app intended for ephemeral communications was a good idea. I know it's not discord's fault but I'll keep holding to this grudge until it dies. (ಠ ∩ಠ)
My migration experience is going a bit better thankfully - only a few series I tried aren't updated anywhere so far. I did purge a few as well but that had more to do with losing interest and reading through inertia rather than anything else. Guess that's my reward for limiting the number of ongoing series I read.
I picked up Tokyo KINOKO last week.
Thank you to everyone who discussed it enough to bring it to my attention.
I can see why it is being compared to Bocchi the One Punch Girl. Assuming it doesn't flub its story, I won't be surprised if
- it gets an anime adaptation relatively quickly
- it blows up in popularity
I am following it with great interest now.
I have really enjoyed it. I like how it kind of inverts the OPM dynamic (a little anyway). Saitama is trying to become renowned as a hero whereas Kino is trying her best to fit in with everybody else.
Two series that I found this past week. Thanks to @PrincessKadath@ani.social for introducing me to this first series this past week.
Yeah...it's a mouthful, and that is just the English title. The premise is just about as silly as it sounds. If you have read/watched as much isekai trash as I have, it hardly will feel original. While, yes, it is a silly power fantasy full of tropes and predictable scenes, it manages to keep enough heart in the story and characters to keep it feeling fun and engaging. In particular, this MC might be OP, but not nearly as OP as his pet cat that is also isekai'ed with him.
I have admitted to being a huge fan of The Eminence in Shadow in the past, and this series is very obviously inspired by TEIS. Basically, imagine if Cid's secret identity as Shadow is revealed in chapter 1, and the rest of the world has to adapt to the knowledge that this previously non-noteworthy noble is actually the most powerful being in existence. I have enjoyed this series so far (a couple chapters in), but I do think that this illustrates why Cid's complete ignorance to the events in the world around him are so necessary to making TEIS work. Phil, the MC in this series, gets super invested in people around him and others use those relationships to try to manipulate him. It's the exact kind of thing that Cid would hate.
