  Why are some manga suddenly getting "REBOOTED"? Are they to... "GOOD"? Or are they not "GOOD ENOUGH"?

  Idk, but honestly im still thinking about "by the grace of the gods". As a story its fine but how can a novel end like that? Every volume ends like commercial brake. I feel author saying "5 min break guys, i'll be back" and keeps in next volume never didnt end of the previous book. Its a reboot, you might think they would do something about it but nah, its just free money. At least i got that kind a vibe.

  @Serah said in Slime Sale 13.01.2020 (tip): Idk did you buy the LNs or not but i started reading book 2 and it seems writing is not that good. I dont know is it because of translation(translator) or author himself but for the first time i said "anime made a better job for conversations, story telling, cutting scenes" etc.

  Oh, and since no one else has mentioned it, Fruits Basket is another series that I would wholeheartedly recommend.

  @Liber-Monstrorum How did I get into reading BL manga? Pull up a chair - this will take a while to answer. ;-) Seriously, I'm much older than most people on this site, so I actually began with reading slash fan fiction when I was younger. Slash (named for the slash in K/S, or Kirk/Spock Star Trek fan fiction) was the precursor to m/m romance in the U.S. After being a slash fan, and before I started reading and writing m/m romance, I got into yaoi and BL anime/manga when I became an anime fan in 2005. I agree with you that BL manga is best when there's a strong story and beautiful art, especially if the character designs are beautiful. I think the strongest story I've ever read in BL manga is Shungiku Nakamura's Hybrid Child. It's moving and haunting - very powerful.

  I buy raws of dark action series that have no hope of being TLed (death game stuff and horror; usually search through the horror section for free volume 1s and then buy more to get all the panels if I'm really interested to see who lives / falls in love / etc). I also buy Japanese LN 1) to MTL through if I must, 2) for support of the author + more series like it, or 3) for learning (haven't really started that in any full force though). The only "raws" I get of licensed stuff is free ones on Bookwalker, again, for potential Japanese learning.

  @Clarabelle Amazon Japan is the current "main source". The past main source has been eBay auctions. There is another topic here that discusses where to buy: https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/3066/from-which-online-shops-do-you-import-original-japanese-manga

  Going with these two: Chitose-kun wa Ramune Bin no Naka Kekkon ga zentei no love come Just gotta pick my manga. Probably balance out the love comedy with some horror manga or Isekai adaptations.

  A question to german manga readers - Would you buy english manga?

  Q

  @clarabelle I don't know what you consider to be a high price I'm from germany and collect english manga (have some in german too). Generally english manga is priced higher than german manga. Thou the difference are just 1-3 € per volume which could also be less sometimes. Because there is no price binding on english books I got many mangas at 5-7 € but also others that cost like 14 € or so. That is not considering premium editions like the really awesome Berserk hardcover 3-in-1 edition which costs about 40-50 € each. If I like a series and want to have it I just buy it. There are even series I would never buy the german translation of because it's guarenteed to be utter crap. If you wan't cheap mangas wait for the low budget omnibus editions. Thos 3-in-1 editions cost about 14 €. But the quality of these are rather cheap. As an example the pages are rather thin and you can see the next page through the current page which can be rather anoying sometimes.

  I tend to prefer buying whatever the most "complete" version of the series is, which is usually (but not always) the original format. So if it was a light novel first, then I'd usually go with that, though there are some exceptions where the manga outlived the novels or managed to be a better product than the novels.

  I'm not entirely sure, but I've heard, that the sequel isn't selling as good as the prequel (it's popularity is not that high by comparison). It will probably not be as long as Vampire Knight, maybe a few volumes less, but I can't guarantee it.

  @legitpancake Manga Plus being worldwide is a huge plus for me, it's nice to have an option if you live outside of the US. I read a lot of manga so it will come in handy for me.
