| Oh I'm just reading some of the remaining publishing manga on my list To name a few: Yona, Owari no Seraph and Ao no Exorcist. I've been reading some of these for almost a decade now smh. This is why I chose to just essentially close the manga list |
  |
| I see.. I'm mostly collecting favorites nowadays and finally getting through all my backlog/AKA alllll the books in my bookshelves, lol..=v='3 |
|
| I'm currently reading the manga version of Umineko. So far I have read the first 6 episodes and I have to say that it is very entertaining. It's definitely a manga I would recommend. |

| @Mr_Libra Would you recommend the Higurashi manga series as well? I've been curious about it for a while now..^^'>3 |
|
| @Klefki_of_Awsome I haven't read it yet, so I can't say anything about it, but I plan to read it when I've finished reading umineko. |

| @Mr_Libra Oh OK, lmk what you thought! I heard from a lot of people that the anime for Umineko isn't worth to watch because they changed too many things from the VNs, is that true? |
|
| @Klefki_of_Awsome I don't know, I haven't watched the anime. But in my experience it's usually true when people say something like that, at least that was the case with "Tokyo Ghoul" and "Soul Eater". |

| So, I just finished reading Umineko. And I don't know what to say. The manga broke me, but in a good way. I think I need a break from reading manga now so I can deal with it. |
Mr_LibraMay 18, 2024 10:52 PM
| That's OK, IMHO the best manga are the ones that make you want to pause and take the time to think of them, or the ones that make you want to languish the memories you've just spent with them, like Hyakkano and Undead Unluck do for me tbh~!=v=3 About the adaptation thing, I didn't realize Soul Eater wasn't accurate, watched it years ago and am currently reading the manga though so guess I'll know when I get far enough in that one~^^>3 |

But that was because I was watching Windbreaker and really wanted to know what would happen next. I'm planning on reading Undead Unluck in the future, so we'll see how it turns out. Klefki_of_Awsome said: About the adaptation thing, I didn't realize Soul Eater wasn't accurate, watched it years ago and am currently reading the manga though so guess I'll know when I get far enough in that one~^^>3 I didn't know that either until a friend told me about it. Be sure to let me know what you think about it when you're done with it. |
| Undead Unluck is the type of series you appreciate more going in blind and then slowly learning more about, but after a certain point being spoiled is better since it gives you more context for where you are in the series, truly a fascinating and unique read imho, as well as my favorite shounen atm~!>:P> Sure thing, might take a while to get there though, but I'll remind you if you forgot, lol (or vice versa)~!x'D> |

| Oh nice! That one was a favorite of a friend of mine in HS~!^^ Thank you, will do just that, lol~^^'>3 |
|
| @Klefki_of_Awsome I'm curious, have you finished reading Soul Eater and can you tell me your opinion about it? |
| @Mr_Libra Not yet, won't be for a long while tbh since I need to read other things first and have a lot to read... I will let you know whenever it is, but expect a good amount of years before I can, sorry..^^'>3 |

Well, I hope you enjoy the other things you read. |
| @Mr_Libra Thanks! I'll try to remember our convo and get to them sooner then later, but who knows when that'll be, so I thought it good to warn you in advance (idk if you'll remember it by then or even still be here, but hopefully we can have that chat sometimes)~=v=3 |

| @Fiarrow Fruits Basket is such a GOAT series, probably my favorite shoujo series to date!vuv |
|
| @Fiarrow I've only read a bit of it while I was watching the new anime, since I couldn't wait for the next episodes/seasons to come out, lol, but from what I've read so far, the manga felt a lot more detailed and delicate than the anime (the anime is amazing too though, so not to put it down), I dream of owning the full manga collection for it one day, hopefully when I'll have more leeways in my collecting, lol~!vuv In terms of manga, if you like Fruits Basket, I'd recommend Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts, Today's Cerberus, Inu x Boku SS, and Spirits & Cat Ears! |
|
| @Fiarrow No problem, enjoy!>v^b Yeah, Sacrificial Princess is great! Definitely a more interesting twist to "Beauty and the Beast", ehe~!=v=3 I'm reading that one and am almost finished, haven't seen the anime yet but where I'm at (at vol.13) there's a big obstacle they'll have to surmout at the very end of the volume, so I'm curious to see where its going to go from there..>:P> |
|
| @Fiarrow Thanks, hope you enjoy whatever books and anime you're watching recently!^v^/ (Ehehe, its working just has planned, lol~!>:D> its totally not because i didn't know how to spell awesome or made a silly mistake or anything..>.>;) Nah, but in truth, the story behind my username is a bit of a long one, but the mispelled "awsome" is a reference to an old YouTube channel which had a similar name~^^ |

My reading is all over the place. I'm mainly reading these series at the moment:
Claymore
Komi Can't Communicate
The Promised Neverland
They are all so good in their own ways!

| @Fiarrow Ngl, I cried a bit at the end of TPN..TvT Lmk what you thought of it once you finish it!:> I'm also reading Komi, but ain't very far in it (only read up to volume 13/14 iirc)..^^3 |
|
| @Fiarrow I can't spoil anything but I also will tell you you shouldn't worry about it, and enjoy it for what it is! Ohh I see, lol! Yes, they are, haha! I'm not as big a fan of the changes after they change school years, but it's still really good, especially the latest arcs I've read~!vuv |
|
| I'm currently re-reading Magi, no idea why, I just suddenly had the urge to do it. And I have to say, it's worth it, reading Magi always makes me happy. |
Klefki_of_AwsomeJul 19, 2025 5:32 PM
| @Mr_Libra Nice! I started it last year after finally collecting all the volumes, lol, onto vol.4 this week!^v^9 And yes, I did watch the anime but I always read from the start for a manga series since you never know if they skipped content in a adaptation and I prefer to read manga anyhow compared to watching something, lol~=v=3 |
|
| @Klefki_of_Awsome I think Magi actually has a pretty good anime adaptation, but it's unfortunately not complete. What's also starting to show is that the anime is over 10 years old. I tried to rewatch the anime last year and I have to say that some parts of it looked really bad, which, now that I think about it, is probably the reason for my re-read. I can understand that, I always start reading from the beginning too, but simply because it feels criminal to mark chapters as read when I haven't read them. |
| @Mr_Libra Yeah for sure, its not a bad adaptation, and I enjoyed what we had but like you said, its sadly incomplete and I couldn't just leave it off without knowing how it goes after the anime end, which is one of the major reasons for getting the manga. Another reason is that Magi is such a classic that it felt wrong to not read it imho! And I agree with your second comment, its just not right to start something after the anime ends imho, you should just read from the start if you actually enjoyed a work enough that you want to read its source material. |
|
| I'm reading three manga https://myanimelist.net/manga.php?id=129948 < surprisingly entertaining lol https://myanimelist.net/manga.php?id=1262 < another universe in higurashi, fairly entertaining too https://myanimelist.net/manga.php?id=1533 < isekaish setting where the demon queen has a crush on the hero. Not entertained so far |

| @3miL Didn't Shion's arc get covered in the first season of the anime? How is the manga different from the anime?>:o> |
|
Klefki_of_Awsome said: @3miL Didn't Shion's arc get covered in the first season of the anime? How is the manga different from the anime?>:o> each arc/universe in the s1 of the anime is essentially made into a separate manga chapter. I think this is like the 6-7th one I read in a row |
|
| Ahh OK, so its the one where we see the nail ripping scene? I always get confused between Mion's arc and Shion's arc tbh but I think I prefer Shion's arc. |
|
| I've been reading "Wondance" for the past few days, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I actually like sports manga with the theme of performing arts, especially dancing. So why was I surprised? That's because from the description I initially assumed it would be similar to "Ballroom e Youkoso", which it isn't. To be honest, I found that a bit disappointing at first. But this disappointment quickly subsided the further I read. |
| I'm planning to watch the anime for it, looking forward to it! |
|
Klefki_of_Awsome said: I'm also looking forward to the anime.I'm planning to watch the anime for it, looking forward to it! I started reading Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku yesterday and I have to say it is one of the best romance manga I have read in a long time. I regret not starting it sooner. |
| @Mr_Libra I see that one recommended a lot for how similar it is to my favorite series (at least in the SubReddit for the series in question). If you haven't started it yet, check out 100Girflriends, another excellent romance imho!:) |
|
| @Klefki_of_Awsome I'll definitely check it out if you recommend it, even though I can't see from the description how the manga are similar. But who knows, maybe I'll be surprised. |
| @Mr_Libra The MC Is the most wholesome protagonist and the very Best Boy to ever live imho, so I'd definitely give it a read! It will break any misconceptions you had about the Harem genre, if you had any like I did, lol!x'D9 |
