EDIT: Also the fake ads on Mangadex are pretty funny.

They've been pretty hit or miss for me. Way more 'have a loli! here's a loli! want a loli?' ads than I'd want to see- which is none.

The hits are pretty solid though. Got this one recommended which would be cooler if someone hadn't already brought it up here.

holy moly, I remember reading Mieruko-chan when it was...I want to say a few shorts from twitter(edit: guess it's pixiv), but never read the serialization. I just finished chapter ___9___ and this is really something special, I love it. I dunno if it'll ever have some grand overarching plot, but these little vignettes that tease out world and character building are great, and appropriately horrifying.

This is so wrong.
Cockatiels are much worse at imitating human voice than this implies, and also it's not puffing its cheek feather at all. The lower beak is too small and looks like it's covered by the upper beak (it shouldn't be). The cere should be more clearly defined.
I am offended!

all caught up, and yanno, I DO like the cat murderer guy not actually being a cat murderer guy, but I also liked the cat murderer guy being a cat murderer guy in the initial reveal and that was that. I wasn't really sure how to feel about him just happening to show back up as the substitute teacher, at first it felt a bit hamfisted. but the entire story around him and the DON'T LOOK spirit was really solid and horrifying so I like the way it panned out this way too.

I am super curious about where the story will go from here, seriously. the cliffhanger it has left off on is a doozy, the way the author has made even the "good" spirits absolutely nightmarish is really great. I would love to see an anime of this once it's got some more under its belt, but only if they could really put the effort into making the juxtaposition of horrifying apparitions that only she can see everywhere and everyday life seamless.

I mean the substitute teacher is still a murderer, he just doesn't murder cats. It was cool to see him come back as he's part of the beginning of the story, but cat savior tough guy should also come back

Well yes, I wonder if that will get shown when he's in school later since I can't imagine him being an out and out HUMAN murderer wouldn't cause some sort of lingering horror to coalesce around him

and definitely, the tough guy should show up again somehow. yeah it'd be hamfisted but eh, just have her go visit and check up on the kitten she found and gave to him or something idk

I don't know if this or the surreal life one is the better thread to ask.

There was some manga about a gyaru with a super scary face. I never got that far into it before losing track of it. Anyone know what it was called?

Dammit. I meant to say generic real life vs fantasy.

Anyway, I'm already reading that one. That's not what I was thinking of. Maybe she wasn't a gyaru, I remember someone getting a look at her and running away and then next panel she's on a roof screaming while her friend's narrating her misfortune.

Oh hey, I found it, she wasn't a gyaru, I was wrong. https://mangadex.org/title/14320/seishun-otome-banchou

oh, before you said what it actually was, I was thinking it might be Koisuru Yankee Girl, which is also about a girl who does the terrifying-angry-looking-default-face-but-she's-actually-a-sweetheart-behind-it thing. Well if you enjoy that sort of romcom, KYG is cute and silly.

okay the first chapter of this is downright hilarious, one of the funniest manga chapters I've read in a while. looks like it ended real quickly or got canned super fast at least, unfortunately. but the interactions with the MC and her friend are fantastic.

boy, I have a bad feeling about a komi-san anime. I really like komi-san and all, but I have this dread it'll get terribly botched like the My Monster Secret anime was.

also, if they adapt much of the early manga with the less flattering character traits like literally everything to do with yamai

My advice to you is not to fret or worry about it too much. You don't have control over it, and living through life worrying about whether things will be good or not leads to a lot of stress and anxiety that eats away at you. Be enthused that something you enjoy will be growing its outreach, and judge the adaptation on it's own merits once it comes out.

I don't know about needing or deserving an anime adaption (I hardly watch those anymore), but
Spy x Family, The Apothecary Diaries, Way of the Househusband, and Komi all *definitely* deserve their spots just by being good manga.

Haven't read Tasūketsu, Chainsaw Man, act-age, The Dangers in My Heart, or My New Boss is Goofy, though, they might also be good.
