The Spring 2022 Manga Guide

Thank you. I've gone through about fourteen different responses to your post in my head, but really, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I rarely talk about it because so few people understand that it becomes exhausting, and your comment really means a lot to me.

The link for "Welcome Back, Alice" is wrong.

Anyway, seven-year-old Varian is forced to kill dogs and a sickly slave woman because “that's how the world works, humans are animals”, and that's the end of the first volume.

Survival in Another World with My Mistress!

Don't know why they didn't just say, this light novel, is Minecraft in a fantasy world, because that is what it essentially is.

I really enjoyed this light novel, and hope additional volumes will come out. Don't know what the reviewer means by overwritten, but I had no problem reading it and enjoying the content. The denizens of this world are going to find out, just what you can do with the power of a Minecraft menu HUD.

The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess.

This one sounds interesting, thanks for showcasing it.

A note of caution, the story gets darker. Way darker. spoiler[Even Albert the Psycho becomes weary of him, so I suppose you can say he'll surpass his teacher...]

Thanks for the warning. I tracked down the web novel on Narou, and good god does it go places (in the spoiler[sexual violence] department, at that). There's a definite gap in the blasé tone of the narration and what's being described that honestly gives me Kafka vibes, but I think in manga form it would be pretty much unreadable.

The mentions of Pretear and Shadow Lady regarding Ghost Reaper Girl makes me think I should pick the series up again. I started reading it when it was first published on manga+ and liked the main girl and art (I'm always amazed to see how far the mangaka has progressed since early rosario+vampire days), so maybe I should try again......

Absolutely, manga goes to edgy hell where spoiler[he rapes kidnapped women from enemy territory and sells them as sex slaves, also too "make him tough", then straight up murders family including kid and continues to genociding whole villages because "that's what you need to in a war to your enemy" which is obvious bullshit - just burning enemy's fields during war would be enough to make them retreat and cause plenty of innocent deaths anyway, but author makes MC go full "crimes against humanity are good actually", as far as I've read anyway.] I strongly advice anyone to drop this manga, unless you love the super edgy MCs.
