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).

    Started reading Syd Craft: Love Is a Mystery, the newest thing from Shonen Jump. It’s the story of a great detective who hides the fact that he has no interest at all in being a great detective, but was rather forced into it by fate. The first chapter was really fun, but the ending had me worried that it’ll end up going into love triangle or even full-on harem BS. We’ll see.

      How are the actual mysteries? Something that can ruin stuff like a detective series for me is if the actual crimes/mysteries end up being kind of dumb, even if the rest of the story is engaging.

        How are the actual mysteries

        Pretty decent, but when I say “the newest thing from Shonen Jump” I mean there’s literally just one chapter out right now. Also, it feels like the story is going to be about the main character trying to live a normal life while he happens to solve mysteries along the way. We’ll see. Like I said, one chapter.
