Nice!

So this week I:

Started "Transfer student storm bringer", currently at chapter 63.

Im reading the original not the remake since I heard that one sucks. This one is a pretty nice misunderstandings based comedy, from a mixture of his mean appearance and ungodly luck the protagonist who was just a wimp at his past school starts his journey into becoming one of the most feared delinquents in school. Its pretty funny, the translation is a bit weird, at least the one Im reading feels like it was done by someone at 4chan, but the language at least makes some sense when you consider they are all edgy delinquent teens.

Dropped "skip to loafer" at chapter 27

I dont know why exactly but I havent been enjoying this romance so I decided to drop it

Currently reading "Release that witch" for my second read through, currently at chapter 24

This is a really special manhua for me, it is one of those "development anachronic isekai" where the protagonist starts revolutionizing a fantasy world, at least this one makes sense do to his background as an engineer + the witches powers, so I didn't get annoyed at the protagonist suddenly building a lot of stuff he has no business knowing how to like it usually happens in this genre. Also, the art and coloring are god tier. The world building has a lot of thought put into it, on the background of the story there is a political war going on in the kingdom as the king has made it a competition for his 5 heirs to inherit, there is also a conspiracy with the church and a lot of interesting details about the world even outside the kingdom.

I really recommend checking this one out if those city builder isekais are your thing

I'm so sad to see you dropped Skip to Loafer! I actually picked it up due to the anime. I liked to read it more for the wholesomeness that every character and relationship between them resolves with, so it felt like a feel good manga to me more than the romance aspect, I think you'll be quite surprised by how the romance even pans out in the later chapters, but fair reason.
