Welcome to a new weekly general thread! That means it is time for Monday. Or, is it the other way around? In any case, feel free to use this thread to ask questions, ask for recommendations, or any other general discussion topic you please. May the manga be with you!
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).
It is sometimes easy to forget that the people writing these stories we consume are humans with all the emotions that come with that. These works, despite the commercial nature of manga publication, are really outlets of creative expression for the authors. Sometimes the things they want to express can evolve over time, be very dark, or change suddenly on a whim. I have certainly come across series in the past in which there is a big narrative turn at some point deep into the story and it makes you wonder if something happened to the author irl.
As for the other two you list, I have seen both recommended before, so I will have to try to find some time to check them out. They certainly check all the boxes to get me interested: cats ✅, sci-fi slice of life ✅.
I didn’t necessarily mean it as a negative. Yeah, the story is messy and ugly in a very human way that’s unfortunately present in real life. It was mostly just an observation that I could definitely feel the anger author mentioned when reading the chapters.
It’s a bit of a rough read but I didn’t find it to be bad per se.
