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).

Usually they are clearly marked as R19+. I usually skip those and read the 15+ version because sex scenes don't really bring anything to the story.

I am not a prude myself, but for me it's like trying to fill holes (ha!) in the story with smut scenes. I get it, the characters had sex. Big deal. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

Now you're making me curious if there are series like this where full-on sex scenes have actually important info/growth/plot relevance without feeling like cheap filler. Overall though I think scenes like that can still serve a purpose when done correctly, like show off a different side of the characters. I feel this series is a good example of that - compare "normal" and "tea time" Pell (to use manhwa's terminology here).

Also, I'm not gonna lie, well drawn smut can be a great read from a purely technical point of view. I love analysing how people draw stuff, especially bodies as nature is something I have HUGE problems with myself, so even without plot relevance I tend to get something out of things like that. I know people often joke how they check these things for art but that's actually kind of where I'm at most of the time.

As usual, no notification... ๐Ÿ˜ข

The only one I can think of is Lucia, but I also am not sure if there's a non R19+ version.

I can try pinging you in my replies to see if that helps, if you want.

Lack of lower age version isn't a problem considering what we're talking about, I'll add it to the pile and check when I have some time. Thanks!

The main issue is that I had to switch from Sync to Voyager, and the latter doesn't have push notifications. Not sure pinging me would help. ๐Ÿ˜ข

Talking about the pile:

  • Dungeons and Crayons (super sweet 4 years old MC)
  • The Archduke's Bride Is a Hell Warrior (badass MC)
  • Frozen Wolf, Fire Dragon (can't remember if I already told you about this)

Ahh, fair enough. I'm so used to browsing fedi on PC I didn't even think this could be about a mobile client problem.

Oi! I already have plenty of incentives to procrastinate!

I'll take it... And yeah, all of these are new to me, thanks.
