Manga

I've been mostly focused on visual novels, job hunting and personal projects recently so I didn't have much time to read anything beyond what I usually post. What I want to say however is: I'm really happy that The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All didn't end the moment our MCs got together. Not only that, there doesn't seem to be any signs of an upcoming finale (or at least I don't see many of those).

It's nice when a romance series realises there's more to romance than just becoming a couple. Now here's hoping for another few volumes.

Cosmos suprasingly better than expected. Last couple of avaible chapters are a hit more disjointed than at the beggining but the characters and the plot are great.

The Unaware Atelier Meister - standard isekai with correct execution.

I binged Gori-sen - The type of PE teacher to die first during a panic last week. Thanks to @[email protected] for bringing it up in this post (though the tag is incorrect)

It has the exact kind of humour that I look out for in gag manga. 10 / 10

Now that I've caught up to Medalist I've just been reading more of Fullmetal Alchemist. I doubt most people here need to be told how great it is, so I'll share something neat I discovered instead. You know that rap Colonel Mustang does in the DVD extras? You know, this one? I always assumed it was something they just made for the DVD but when I got to volume 12 some awfully familiar text was printed on the back! Here it is for anyone who can read Japanese:

I haven't had too much time to read this past week, but there are a couple things I wanted to call out:

• Renge to Naruto (sometimes NSFW)

So, I know I have mentioned this one before, but I just wanted to give this series another mention. It has really packed a lot of emotions into what started as a silly, cooking-themed, ecchi gyaru series. I have been super impressed at the author's ability to write a compelling MC that isn't afraid to be emotionally vulnerable at times.

• I Want to Make Black-Knight Fall In Love With Me! / Gakeppuchi Reijou wa Kurokishi-sama wo Horesasetai!

I caught up on a couple chapter of this series this past week and the end of volume 2 was great. I felt like the second volume was dragging a bit with the introduction of some new characters that split our main couple apart for a while, causing the narrative to split as well. However, the end of volume really has me looking forward to where things go from here.
