I'm always curious to hear what manga recs others have! My faves are: Jojo, Saint Young Men, Death Note, Somali & The Forest Spirit, Pokémon, Orange, I Want to Eat Your Pancreas and I Had That Same Dream Again. ❤
I love I Want To Eat Your Pancreas!! (you always have the best choices listed) ☺
When it comes to manga I am a full on slice of life, romance connoisseur, I will buy and read it all if given the chance.
Some of my favourite manga's as of recently are:
A Sign of Affection
The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity
The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't a Guy at All
The Summer Hikaru Died
How I Met My Soulmate
My Dress Up Darling
Nana
I'm No Angel
Kiss Him, Not Me
Romantic Killer
@kaylvang.mp3. I've seen lots of people in our store buying The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't a Guy at All and The Summer Hikaru Died and some buying Nana too!
My boyfriend actually just found The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't a Guy At All, and we read the first chapter and were instantly hooked! Went out on a special adventure to find the hard copies in our city on the weekend! I really like the green and black pages gives it a very fun look to it. The Summer Hikaru Died is honestly so goooood. Netflix did a pretty good job on the anime as well! But the manga just has something very special about it. I bet, I am so happy that they are re-releasing Nana in the special edition volumes (I have been buying them too haha).
Is there anything that has been released recently in the manga universe that has caught your eye that you've been wanting to try?

@kaylvang.mp3. There is a manga that releases it's English translation in September that is cute! It's called Shiba Inu Rooms. I really like the expressive artwork :)
I went on Mangadex and read a few chapters...omg. SO CUTE. I can see why you are excited for the release☺
I can see this one being very popular this fall too, I can't wait!!
i haven't read manga in ages... i should probably fix that.
there's an 00s one called DearS that fundamentally changed how i approach writing stories, but i haven't read it in over a decade so don't remember much of it. it's a coming of age that starts off as this light sci-fi sex comedy between a high school senior and this alien girl he rescued. she likes him, he's suspicious because she's not human but he secretly thinks she's cute... serious chobits vibes in the beginning to its detriment; y2k manga readers thought they were reading a 1:1 clone and didn't bother getting the next book where it reveals it's a harem story... Aaaaaaaand then it gradually gets darker and eventually tumbles off a cliff into "depressing as hell" territory. i remember even by book four the themes being really meaty and layered, especially if you know the culture of how japan treats teenage years and young adulthood. this masquerades as a comedy at the beginning but it is 100% a coming of age series.
one of the issues with this series was that the anime was only the first two books. a bunch of the stuff in it that's "problematic" in it is SUPPOSED to be uncomfortable and is explained or fixed in later books. the anime brushes it all off which is BAD. don't watch the anime until you've read the manga please.
i tried for years to find a series that filled the hole that this one left behind and was unable to find anything even close to it. bah! if you ever read this one come back and tell me how you liked it.
Houseki No Kuni/Land of the Lustrous!!!!! its a finished manga and it changed my life no joke.
I loved nana and is love the answer :D
I love Nana!! So good. I recently picked up I'm No Angel by Ai Yazawa. If you haven't tried that one by her, I definitely recommend it too ☺
@kaylvang 𓍢ִ໋❀I need your lovee I'm a broken roseee!!
i've been really enjoying gachiakuta! it's really fun and i love the art style a lot :-)
@levs That's been so popular at the bookstore I work at! It's definitely got me interested

I second Houseki no Kuni, my favorite manga of all time <3
one of my all-time favorite manhwas is "eternally regressing knight", also known as "a knight who eternally regresses" - it also has a novel which i personally prefer, but the manhwa is incredible too!! funny, great art, interesting characters, i literally cannot recommend it enough!
