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).

Nan Hao & Shang Feng

After a little under a year of quiet this series was finally picked up by a new scanlation group. I'm glad to see these idiots again. Not many chapters released so far but it's a start.


Villains Are Destined to Die

We got a pretty big revelation in the last chapter however I'm not sure how I feel about it. It might lead to something interesting in the future, I guess? Maybe? At the same time I'm don't know if it even changes anything in the grand scheme of things (doesn't really feel like it at the moment).

I'll have to see how things play out in the long run.


Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You

Welp, Manager ain't playing around no more and she's going to force progress if she has to. Really nice chapter, makes me believe we're done going in circles with the story. Not that I had a problem with that but it's a welcome sight nonetheless and a nice gift for all the people who did get tired of the previous pace.

Can't believe I am saying this but the last few chapters of 100 girlfriends feel really weak.

One aspect of 100 girlfriends that made it so entertaining is how unpredictable it can be. When the chapters become formulaic, it starts becoming stale.

I know it is easier said than done but I hope the author can come up with crazy ideas again instead of giving us old wine in a new bottle.

Keeping a cast of dozens of main characters fresh in everyone's minds is an incredibly difficult task. In order to succeed they've been doing lots of chapters that cram as many characters in them as possible, and I feel like that's making it harder for them to do really interesting stories. It's also slowed the rate at which new girlfriends are introduced; I think it's about 1 per volume now. This doesn't bode well for the goal of actually hitting 100, but we'll see what happens.
