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).

    Thanks so much, for the starting ideas!

    I would have known it would be best to provide some anime I’ve enjoyed. I have some experience with anime and One Punch Man is one I’ve very much enjoyed. I also liked Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Spy X Family. Obviously anything from Studio Ghibli is a delight. I discovered Your Name. recently and found it to be charming and delightful.

    Is there a best way to read these on iOS? Just use Safari and Mangadex?

      Similar to the other answer you got, I don’t use iOS, so I can’t speak for what apps are available. Pretty much all the Android users are going to be using some fork of the mihon app (formerly called tachiyomi).

      However, I do know that mangadex, the website, can be installed as a PWA. So, if you have an account on the site and track your library through mangadex, then the pwa route may work nice.

        That’s a good suggestion and it’s a feature I rarely use, so I wouldn’t have thought of it.

        EDIT: This ended up being the best solution. Thanks so much.

      I’m not on iOS but two apps I’ve seen mentioned for it were Aidoku and Paperback.

      Can’t tell you much about them other than they do have MangaDex support based on a quick research.

        Just as an FYI, Aidoku requires a subscription to guarantee a spot in their TestFlight.

        Paperback no longer directly connects to MangaDex without third party support and the third party guy just announced he won’t be developing for iOS anymore.

        I very much appreciate your response, just want to make sure future readers have appropriate expectations.

          Ah, I see. Thanks for coming back with an update!

          I hope you’ll find a decent way to read.
