This was apparently early in the volume two process since it has a full ending not a one page "and this is what I didn't get to write" ending like Bluesteel Blasphemer.
Suddenly glad I never bothered getting around to Bluesteel, rushed endings really grate on me. It sucks that stuff can be considered "complete" despite being at varying levels of 'not really' to 'absolutely not' (looking at you, "Apparently It's My Fault That My Husband has the Head of a Beast").

I never read that Brave Chronicle one, so I guess that's on my list now.

Same here.
Ms. Elf is cute and fun for anyone who hasn't tried it.

I second this. I enjoyed reading the manga so much I ended up binge reading the LN. I recommend it to any one who is looking for something cute and fun this month.

@lily-garden Might just take you up on that. I did read the first part or two but was just too busy when it was releasing to read more.
Echo I tried reading when it came out but was lost trying to make even the smallest bit of sense of it.
Magic far behind I just posted like 10 posts ago how I didn't like the LN so... naw dawg.
Slayers I do recommend, if anyone is considering it. I never watched any of the anime (which is kind of crazy, thinking about it) so can't compare that but it's a fun action/comedy that reads easy and feels like it's from exactly when it is. Lina cracks me up and the group gets into some crazy situations.
Oh, and Infinite Dendrogram is one of the series that convinced me to get a membership, back in the day. Probably my 3rd or 4th favorite series that JNC releases. Avoid the anime like the plague but do go and read the LN. Does a good job presenting the "super realistic video game world" in such a way that 14 volumes in and I can't definitively say if it's all real or all smart coding, while presenting enough unique things to keep the story interesting.

Updated with July 2021 catchups. 😺
We have 1 manga for the first time on catchup (anime coming in a few days): How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom. Another incoming anime is Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles. Also 2 out of 5 series are complete and one is a Horror oneshot. (Me, a Genius? does end with a huge cliffhanger even though it's complete.)

It definitely has a lot of unfinished plot threads, but I wouldn't say it ends on a actual cliffhanger, like with someone going into a major battle or (looking at you
literally hanging from a cliff.
(Unless I've repressed any memory of it, like I'd like to do for the last few minutes of Carnivale.)
I enjoyed the 3 volumes we got enough to buy it, and I'm glad I was able to read them.
-
Well, I did slip up a couple volumes back and let myself get behind on Bakarina so guess I can take care of that now.
-
hi friends! I'm new. how do we know what's on the the catchup list?
-
@brix-otero-pesiafi While there is a message that list the current catch-up series, the main page lists them (with pictures and links) towards the bottom.
The MESSAGE about them will be posted in the News forum.

Clicking on the spoiler-tag isn’t revealing any previous months’ data for me, both on my computer and on my phone :c Is this just a ‘me’ issue?

I can indeed reproduce the issue. It worked just fine last month. Let me see what I can do.

Okay, it should be fixed now. Seirei's url was badly formatted and it messed up the whole post/spoiler parsing.
-
@terabyte Yup, all good now, thank you!
