Jigokuren Death Life
From the cover you can suspect it might be awful pandering moe garbage.
…It was.

A slice of life food manga where the theme is smoking all kinds of food. Artwork is nice, food looks good, and I like the characterizations of the main couple. They feel real.

Bizarre shonen manga about a main character that wakes up from his perfect dream to find a post-apocalyptic world ruled by alien sheep creatures who put all the humans to sleep. I like the weird design of the alien creatures and the protagonist who gives zero fucks about anything except destroying the aliens.

Girls’ Last Tour
Girls’ Last Tour
Checked out this manga after Seamus recommended it. The world is a giant city structure similar to BLAME! but even less inhabited. Really enjoying it and I would have never checked it out based on the artwork alone. It’s getting an anime adaption soon as well.

Finished this horror manga by Honda Shingo. It honestly wasn’t great but his monster designs were slightly interesting. They remind me of creatures you’d find in the Resident Evil series. Lots of biological mutation and gory violence.

Chimamire Sukeban Chainsaw
Got a chance to read the ending of this gore manga. For a horror manga, it had a light-hearted tone akin to something like Evil Dead. The abrupt ending was a bit of a disappointment. It definitely seems like it got canceled.

Hunter x Hunter
It’s running again in Weekly Shonen Jump. I think it’s a damn shame Togashi’s health issues keep this manga on hiatus so much. Gotta give him credit for not just ending it. I hope he’ll get to finish it someday.

I Want to Eat Your Pancreas
I Want to Eat Your Pancreas
Manga adaptation of a novel by Yoru Sumino that won various literary awards in 2016. It had a live action movie adaptation as well. A bittersweet story about two teenagers who develop a relationship despite one only having a limited amount of time left due to a terminal illness. Decent drama but you can tell it’s a novel adaptation and it suffers rough spots going through a transfer of medium. You might like it but I would just recommend you check out the original novel or read A Silent Voice instead.

Clean Freak! Aoyama kun
Clean Freak! Aoyama kun
Saw the recent anime and decided to read the series. I didn’t like it at first but the quirky characters grew on me. My favorite chapters revolve around Aoyama’s adventures playing an MMO because I did not expect a sports manga to go there.
