It's going to take more than 2 months to cleanup whatever is going in the manga. Chapters are randomly getting redrawn and totally changed all willy nilly. I've more or less given up on it.

I guess I'll have to look into self hosting my library again on my server. Any tips for which software/stack to run?

Support for downloading from most major sources going forwards like Mangaplus and various aggregators (and I guess scraping out the last data from Mangadex before it's gone) is important. Or some other kind of automation for updating and downloading new chapters on release and other metadata.

Preferably something headless running in Docker (web GUI optional), and the ability to sync to Mihon is crucial. I've been looking at Kavita, Komga, and Suwayomi but haven't decided yet.

Had to add this to my reaction folder.

I hope this is the only instance of a takedown of this magnitude for a while, but I fear the publishers are now smelling the blood in the water now that the Mangadex team have folded to pressure once. Worst case scenario they get repeated takedowns and vanish over time, or shut down like Batoto. I guess this will just repeat the cycle of; community manga site gets popular -> popular community site gets taken down -> surge in use of aggregators -> aggregators increase ads -> community gathers around new popular site. Rinse and repeat, as manga publishers refuse realize what Gabe Newell has known for decades, piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem.

Mangadex will release an official list soon (?).

It's a silly manga where every character has maximised their brand of silly (except MC). A bit like Seitokai Yakuindomo, but still different.

Can't have too much progress in one chapter you know, they need to spread it out as much as possible. Preferably paper thin progress at a time.

Unprotected hand holding should only be done after marriage.

I gave up years ago. When a minor character is introduced in one chapter and then is not even mentioned in over 100 chapters it may as well just be a new character at that point in my opinion. The main cast and major supporting characters has always been solid in Komi-san though.

Quite the unexpected twist at the end there. Great hook for upcoming chapters.

spoilerExpected it to be a story of him adjusting to society after his coma, and from his perspective, sudden fame. Did not expect the dystopic turn. A bit like The Truman Show, but everyone is aware of it.

Me seeing it's a chapter with Tsuchiya:

Anticipating Tsuchiya

I just noticed it as well while looking up the romaji version of the title, had a good chuckle.

I prefer using the romaji versions of manga titles unless it has a well known English title (like this one) or it's an official translation.
