Manga

This series is starting to have something resembling a continuous and linear storyline. The initial chapters gave me the impression that the series was going to be more of an anthology. However, perhaps it might be both depending on the story it wants to tell that chapter.

Another great chapter. I wonder if the medusa character is going to become part of the main cast going forward.

This one is back from a bit of a break (right in the middle of the cultural festival, you monsters!). This group tends to release batches of chapters, so don't be surprised when there is a half dozen or so chapters released over the next week.

A slice of life gem I rediscovered just now and decided to post again - 13 chapters in 1 volume, about a man who walks the same path through his neighborhood every day, rain or shine, and the things he sees and the way things change over the years.

Intriguing sci-fi mystery/drama about a meek and sheltered girl with mottled skin who might be the monster her crapsack world deserves.

I used to work an overnight shift and it is pretty interesting how your world is much smaller in the wee hours of the morning. It's like most of the people out there cease to exist and you see the same faces regularly because there are so few other people shopping at Walmart at 3 am.

Picked this series up today and it's cute. Basically a witch that is unwanted in her original world leaves with magic and ends up on Sado Island in Japan.

If you told me the series was commissioned by the Sado Tourism Bureau, I would believe you. There are extensive translation notes at the end of each chapter detailing all the local stuff that is incorporated into the story.

I almost lost hope I'll see the day this continues...

Since we had a thread about Tachiyomi removing extentions I thought this might also be relevant.

Text version: > Tachiyomi, under the guise of 'legitimate' open-source development, has been seriously infringing on the copyright of manhwas worldwide. > > We have collected personal details of most individuals involved in this project and plan to proceed with strong legal and institutional response against over 100 forked GitHub pages. > > For the official English versions of KakaoPage/Kakao Webtoon, please enjoy them on Tapas! > > Be Official, Be Legal Readers.

Not sure how many contributors were involved in Tachiyomi itself but it looks like they'll be aiming for any forked projects as well.

Time to break out GitHub's developer defense fund?

I really enjoyed the main story for this series and have mentioned it a couple times now in the weekly threads. This is the first of the extra chapters being published after the main story.

Last chapter we saw a Himmel statue that was all wrong. This chapter it's Flamme. Also, more bonus artwork at the end of the chapter!

Recently found this series and picked it up. It's interesting so far. It centers around reviving a lost friendship from school years later as an adult (I think, it's still early).

Some bonus chapters to bring this short and extremely silly series to an all too early end.

I know Tachiyomi (and associated forks) are a popular way to browse and read manga within the community (myself included). This change means that the Tachiyomi app will no longer include access to installation of all but a select few extensions. Specifically, the only extensions allowed going forward are the "bring-your-own" services. You can see the new extension list here.

Based on some of my searching, this change seems to be in response to the threat of legal action by Kakao Entertainment (a Korean webtoon company). Tachiyomi had recently removed a couple extensions from their app (mangadex being one of them), but this change is sweeping.

Going forward, if you have extensions currently installed on your device, they are going to stay there, but will no longer be maintained. So, if something breaks for the service it is communicating with, then the whole thing breaks.

The latest version of Tachiyomi added the ability to add external extension repositories. So, this enables the option of other groups maintaining extensions in the place of the Tachiyomi devs.

Edit: For more context, there are two relevant discussions on the !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com community. One about the mangadex extension specifically, and the other about this latest move.

Cute and quick 4-page oneshot that I chuckled at.

Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).

Not sure why the format changed to split chapters, but here we see Claire do her best cute magic spell. Also, who could have guessed that the spooky librarian that wears a hooded robe was evil!?

I have read LN5 and the manga adaptation of this whole sequence is so super silly. I love how much they let the manga deviate from the LNs for the sake of humor.
