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).

Been a while since I posted in here.
As per usual, tons of manhwa in my backlog that I somehow managed to catch up to. Other than that, I finally was able to migrate my Comick library to other sources. I am still sad about it.

To write about something I can actually reccomend: I'm No Hero in the Shadows! is something I discovered early this week and devoured all available chapters within 30 minutes, just for me to start it all over.
Think about a less OP Eminence in the Shadow, with the same amount of cringe, and the protagonist being a complete moron. The interactions between Phil (the hero) and Kalua (the I guess main heroine?) are insanely funny.

I'll just leave this here:

He keeps on breaking the fourth wall, and every time I have to wipe my tears. 🤣

I've really been loving this series as well. I agree that the Phil/Kalua interactions are always a highlight. This is basically Cid's worst nightmare, getting found out and having to abandon the Background Character A lifestyle. Phil really should have put as much effort into being unremarkable as Cid did.
