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).

With all the shit going on in the world lately, I thought I'd better get some physical, English-translated copies of my favourite manga while they are still affordable. (Yeah we can read them for free on MangaDex, but I want to support the creators.)

Anyway, I'm happy to announce that I am the proud owner of this collection:

all volumes of Sheep Princess in Wolf's Clothing
most volumes of The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You - volumes 3, 6, 7 and newer volumes are unavailable; volume 4 is arriving soon
the first two volumes of Killer Shark in Another World - the rest are unavailable

I was hoping to get the following too:

But there aren't any English publishers who'd release physical copies of these manga.

Anyway, it's time for a reread of my favourite comedy manga; the dopamine is exactly what I need.

That's awesome. The only physical manga I have are ones I inherited. So, it is mostly a lot of old stuff that my wife read back before the days of digital volumes and stuff that friends of mine have passed on to me as they have moved. Off the top of my head, I think some of the physical series we have are:

Sailor Moon
Cardcaptor Sakura
Inuyasha
Fruits Basket
Rurouni Kenshin
Lone Wolf and Cub
Blade of the Immortal

The only physical series I have gone out of my way to buy is The Eminence in Shadow light novels.
