Is it just me, or does Doll Kara just sound... weird. I mean, it's a story conceived of by the founder of K-1, who's very much still alive & is currently 68 years old, where he dies & is reincarnated as a high school girl. There's just something weird about a man who's nearing 70 killing himself off in a story so that he can be turned into a high school girl, instead of simply figuring out a way where he can simply teach a high school girl about MMA himself. At least that chess manga that Ablaze recently licensed with Garry Kasparov in it is about a VR recreation of him teaching someone how to play chess.
Not trying to say anything about Kazuyoshi Ishii himself, but it's just weird. If he had died & someone else came up with this concept then fine, but this was thought up by the man himself. |

Sometimes Even Reality Is a Lie! is some diabetes inducing stuff. Def recommend.

Yes, its too sweet. It still deals with some heavy stuff too though. Highly recommended. It's also full color, à la Senpai is Annoying!. Been following it fan-translated and on Fanbox. |

D-genesis sounds absolutely insane. It sounds like Isekai mixed with a Robert Ludlum book. Government organizations and dungeon crawling?

Just finished reading some of the first chapters that J-Novel had up. It is nice to be able to read them like this. Now I already know some of them to buy, when they come out.

Great to finally have Misfit. Can't believe no one else picked up before hand. Really hope we get a physical release of it.

I thought Misfit would be licensed by Seven Seas eventually but it turns out JNC got it instead.
I've also heard about D-Genesis before. IMO it has this weird pulpish feel. |

Getting Misfit is quite the score for J-Novel, it's pretty popular after the anime came out. D-Genesis sounds a bit like Dungeon Busters, which I've enjoyed so far. Might be worth checking out. I'm also interested in the Fushi no Kami manga, I've enjoyed the novels so far.

I see isekai or other reincarnation stories of all kind are still popular, most of the entries are like that.
"Gushing over Magical Girls" is - well, it's kinda hardcore story. Interesting that it was picked up. |

Going by the available manga adaptation chapters(17 fantranslated), anyone who is expecting plenty of dungeon hijinks/exploring/adventures, will be sorely disappointed. How bad is it? Well, spoiler[there's the dead goblin in chapter 1, a slime in chapter 5, some slimes in chapter 6, one slime in chapter 7, one slime in chapter 9. That's it, that's the monsters we see, over 17 chapters. Aand...did I mention, aside the slime chapters, they pretty much stay aboveground/out of dungeons the rest of the time. So, what do they do the rest of the time? Well, you better like commerce, online auctions, politics, drama, in your mango...] I really, really, REALLY, hope the available manga chapters are still only part of the prologue, and stakes will start getting a bit higher, because as it is now, it's a bit too dry for my tastes... |
