I started reading Sousou no Frieren. It is really beautiful, a fantasy with a melancholy vibe, themes of mortality, but it also has a lot of cute moments. It is a different kind of fantasy story to read these days. The main character is really cool and I love her.

I'm enjoying right now Majo no Geboku to Maou no Tsuno. It has a bit of a rough start but I really like that there's a good mix of plot and more silly chapters. I like all the characters and how they interact with each other. Out of everything I read I get the most raw enjoyment out of it.
I also am enjoying these:

>Boku to Kimi no Taisetsu na Hanashi

>Mairimashita! Iruma-kun
>Fushi no Sougishi

>>18016I have been reading Mysterious Girlfriend X, and I honestly feel weirdly comfy with this manga. I also really love the relationship between urabe and tsubaki. They communicate and I love how urabe sets boundaries with tsubaki. The only complaint I have tho is that tsubaki is a bit bland as a character and I personally wish there was more dream sequences or art in the manga that had the same complexity of the dream sequences. They were so mesmerizing to look at, but other than that the manga is cute n' comfy for me

Golden Kamuy. It's been so many years since I've been actively hyped over a comic. The plot moves fast, all characters have great motives and development and at the same time it's still heartfelt and funny, it's just outstanding.

I tend to think of them together because they're both about a coming of age story of an unlikely loser, who has done a lot of bad things out of lust.
And, uh, don't get filtered by the start. Yes, it starts off like a masturbation-themed Death Note parody, but please, it's not all silly!

I'm reading Hajimete no Hito by Tanikawa Fumiko. It's still a very painful slog for me to read untranslated Japanese, but I'm enjoying it. It seems to be a josei manga that is one-shots of mostly married women and their relationship. I'm getting old for shoujo manga, so maybe this suits me better.

I started Made in Abyss last month on a recommendation from a friend. Whether I'm enjoying it is kind of a mixed question.
My friend said I'd like it, but warned me that it'd be hard to get through, and they were right about that. It's emotionally exhausting, goes to some awful places and puts the characters through some really horrible, stomach-turning stuff (it doesn't help that the mangaka seems like a massive pervert). But, I can't remember the last time a story and characters got under my skin this much - there were three or four times I thought I was going to drop it for good, but each time I only made it a day or two before pulling up the next chapter.
I'm only a few chapters from being caught up with the series, so whatever my feelings about it, it's certainly kept me reading.

The Legend of Mother Sarah, kickass series about a mother searching for her children in a post apocalyptic setting.
Black Lagoon, action series that has big Cowboy Bebop vibes, doesn't strickly follow one character but Revvy is cool and has a lot of time dedicated to her.
Ghost in the Shell, though I think the movie is significantly better than the manga, I'd throw Appleseed by the sane mangaka here as well.
Excel Saga comedy series with two adult leads, on has a crush on a man, but it isn't romance and doesn't go anywhere. Bit lol so random XD, but it's fun.

i recently finished dededede and loved it. comparing it to asano's other works, i think it's much closer to solanin than punpun in terms of emotional themes - trying to figure out what to do with your life, entering adulthood at the end of the world, the different ways in which people react to a global crisis outside of their control. all of the characters felt like they had little realistic kernels that their personalities were built around, with these then taken to the extreme. kohiruimaki is a pretty good example of this, with his many-such-cases internet radicalization and the death of his ex girlfriend leading to his place as the head of an alien-killing vigilante group the bg art is also just gorgeous, but that's like par for the course with asanos photo tracing technique lol (i dont think this is cheap or a hack btw, the grounded & naturalistic effect it has on the work is perfect for the kinds of stories he tells. adds such a sense of place and scale, like a "this is a world that exists outside of the characters" kind of thing, too). my only gripe is that like all the main cast, esp kadode and ontan, look like literal toddlers despite being 17-19, though this could be a deliberate choice to illustrate their emotional childishness, and their designs did grow on me as i was reading. would recommend (n-n)b
