Wait, are people bailing on the thread/forums or are we expecting a forums shutdown?

Pretty much doing the former bracing for the latter. Lowtax is a POS, but I'm not to keen on ditching this place given the compiled lists of good manga and other stuff in here, but if he decides to torch the place and run then we have to prepare for that poo poo.

Here is an archive of every post in this thread up until doomrider7' last post; it's not great for browsing, but at least everything's archived.
It's a compressed tar file, so you'll probably need 7zip to open it.

Done!! I encourage everyone who is a thread regular to update the spreadsheet. There are far too many good SDL manga, and too many of them are easy to forget, update irregularly, or obscure.

A good compilation way is to add on the author's name if they have multiple works like day Douman Seiman's entire library.

I think this counts: The Mute Girl And Her New Friend


A girl with aphonia transfers schools, and is rejected due to how long it takes her to respond. The girl who sits next to her is telepathic, and makes friends basically to get her to stop thinking too many negative thoughts. Chapters are short, but seems fine so far.

It's worth noting that DOLPHIN COP is by the author of Beelzebub, which is a solid recommendation by itself.

Jesus I just want Kitsune Spirit to go back to cute fluffy wife and her ripped husband flirting. Current arc is A woman whose fiance arranged for her to be drugged and raped so he could break up with her and profit because of japanese laws. That attempt was foiled but now she's turned around and hired a ninja assassin to kill him which, I mean, retribution is absolutely called for but murder is still murder.

Every single translator/note page for the past arc has just been the artist bitching about the tanuki ninja girl and how there's not enough flirting and it's legitimately eroding my patience.

To be fair we don’t know for sure the ninja is going to kill him.

Also the ending of the tanuki fight was such a letdown. I was expecting the tanuki to transform into the fox’s husband and manage to land a good hit, but no she just transformed into a dragon.

This for sure. Just keep doing what you were doing before only more of it.

Aside that, I'm trying to find this Manga about a dopey journalist girl with glasses and her long suffering retainer as they keep bubbling along trying to get the scoop on various crimes and events in a really Steam Detectives kind of setting. It was funny. Cover had the girl eating a bun.
