Another week in the books. Let’s chat about manga in the general discussion thread! Feel free to use this thread for questions, comments, recommendations, etc.

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).

    I am almost positive that I have seen somebody post about Mayuri before in this community, perhaps @[email protected]? I am positive because I have it added to my library, but I just haven’t had time to read any of it yet.

    Completely unrelated to this series specifically, but I always find it interesting when the Japanese art and cover includes an English version of the title; but then the actual English title is completely different.

      That’s possible. I tend to skim over new postings whenever the list of my currently followed series gets to a certain number so I might have missed previous mentions. Oh well, might be a useful reminder in case someone else was in the same boat.

      As for the titles, I wonder if it’s an attempt by (some) authors to attract/acknowledge potential unofficial translations? They obviously can’t force a specific title for an official release in case there’s a trademark issue but this way they might try to bring attention of the English speaking audience? Or maybe they just think it looks cool, who knows?

      I’m too sleepy to word good and try explaining what I’m trying to say right now. I’m going to hibernate for a bit instead… _(´ω`_)⌒)_
