Welp, it's been a good run, but it is seeming more and more likely that the age of MangaDex is over. With the wave of over 7000 takedown requests and policy changes requiring explicit rights or permission to upload, scanlators have largely stopped using the site.

So, what comes next? I don't know, but let's chat about it. Additionally, feel free to use this thread like you would any other weekly general thread by sharing about what you read this past week, asking for recommendations, or questions.

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).

Finished reading Fullmetal Alchemist this week, and I've got to say reading that climax to the soundtrack of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood was a 10/10 experience. What a great time.

Since I finished one long series I decided to start another. I've had all 28 volumes of the Japanese edition of Kaguya-sama: Love is War on my shelf for over a year now, but I've been too afraid to start it - until now! Anyways, turns out my fear was well-justified.

POV: you thought you were ready for Kaguya-sama's vocab just because you've read a few other seinen manga before

So that's been fun. Been learning all sorts of interesting words like 潮騒 (roar of the sea waves), or 純愛 (pure love), or 輪廻 (cycle of death and rebirth). The vocab shown off here makes Fullmetal Alchemist look simple (it wasn't) by comparison.

Blue Box also had a nice chapter this week, so that's been fun. I don't like it quite as much as Kaguya-sama: Love is War, but it's still consistently been one of my favorite love stories in manga. It might be the best shounen love story I've seen, though Dandadan also competes pretty hard! We'll have to see where both of them go from here.

Speaking of Dandadan, it's currently in the part of the arc where lots of stuff is happening and everything is absolutely insane. I'm really looking forward to seeing how that all gets resolved.
