Yeah it’s really easy for me to forget about manga that I don’t own physically. Maybe I’ll add a tracker to my spreadsheet or something.

I’m so interested in Genkaku Picasso. The covers don’t look dark at all but I know what other titles the author has done so I’m not totally surprised that it goes in that direction.

The no gutter loss is a great selling point for digital manga actually. Of course I love supporting physical releases but I’ve also noticed that digital versions are often more detailed as well. Some of the art gets lost in the printing process sometimes.

@@tonireadsmanga Yeah i think there are a lot of good arguments for digital manga, like less storage (I can bring my collection anywhere), cheaper, more details (or ability to zoom) and no gutter loss. But the downside is not really owning it (unless it’s DRM-free), digital only releases not getting the same attention in translation and lettering and that most publishers doesn’t include back covers or extra content.

If you don’t mind reading digitally then I don’t think there’s a better deal out there than Humble Bundle. Just have to be on the lookout because they don’t do them too often.

Kodansha doesn’t do a great job advertising their digital manga honestly

I like to plan out my reading pretty heavily so I can get to everything I want to read in a month, but since the library is obviously free I do end up picking up more books than I can possibly read in a month. If I need to return it but I still want to read it then I’ll just put it on hold again. But since I’ve been reading so many library books I noticed I have been neglecting my physical tbr books a little bit. I’ve only watched the first episode of the Alice in Borderland Netflix series. I didn’t really have any problems with it, I just stopped watching because I don’t really watch tv shows anymore and I didn’t want to get spoiled for the manga (though I’ve heard the story is a bit different in each).
