The Penultimate chapter
The Showdown Vs the Wrathful dragon concludes.

I could feel this one coming as the wrathful dragon got dropped in without much ceremony, but this is a good chapter with emotional clout I liked,. Hopefully the series goes out strong.

Did I just say that out loud~~?!!!
I've been sucked in to the vampire manga by the Dagashi Kashi guy. It's good, folks. It's darker than Dagashi Kashi, and there's actually some overarching plots. It's interesting to see him do something as different from Dagashi Kashi (which was still great by the way! I loved it!) as this but still has some of the "spirit" of Dagashi Kashi.

I never cared much for Dagashi Kashi but the I learned recently the author's new work is pretty rad: https://mangadex.org/title/40969/yofukashi-no-uta

A boy can't sleep so he hangs out with a vampire (who happens to look remarkably similar to Toga from My Hero Academia) at night instead.

I enjoy this because it is the right mix of self-reflective (on the MC's growing detachment towards the "daytime"), funny, cute, and has a bit of an edge to it as well. But above all that, it's very horny. I'm actually surprised it hadn't been mentioned in this thread sooner.

I know vampires and sexuality are basically the peanut butter and jelly of the archetype. But it feels somewhat like a fresh take to have this race of glorified pickup artists acting the way they do. And it's appropriately creepy when Nazuna's family all try and hit on teenager. But maybe that's because after the last vampire craze brought out the worst writers imaginable it's been well over a decade since I've willingly read any vampire fiction

stupid angel dances with the devil has been getting a bunch of updates recently, and while it's gone in a less slapstick silly as gently caress direction as it was early on, I don't dislike the way it's been progressing.

I'm also surprised at how good the action scenes are, there've been some decent ones in the series but there's some great two-pagers in the last couple chapters.

You find the weirdest poo poo consistantly. Love ya dude. Gonna read it even.

Edit; I hate it, thanks. Hard to find "ressentiment again."


Saiki Kusuo no PSI Nan(tranlation; Saiki-san's lovely comic about psychics) ended a while back, on a fun note. It's very funny, and added characters as arcs.

Comic is here

it's considerably sillier and dumber than ressentiment, if you went in expecting a manga with something to say beyond "here's some funnier-and-hornier-than-average romcom shenanigans, also sometimes the main girl turns into spongebob for some reason" then it's not for you

the third chapter where it gets kaguya-sama-esque and portrays their flirting as a dog and cat hajime no ippo boxing match is what got me to stick with it past the 3 chapter test, they are a very dumb couple and I love their interactions, though I can understand if the fanservice puts you off of it.

I'm not sure I can think of a recent manga that gives me a similar vibe to Ressentiment, really.

new chapter of Sachi's Monstrous Appetite(I like this name they recently gave Her Appetite's Too Big For Me Alone, it's better imo)

I kinda figured the fight would end without them killing the cackling moustache-twirling evil rabbit vagrant, but still it felt a bit abrupt.

Yeah after years of erratic translations, you can now read the whole thing officially then pick right up with the scans. Plus the novels ofc.
