| Thought I'd make a more general topic about sharing our manga reading and collections, as posting our own stuff on "Digicat's manga collection" strikes me as a bit rude. So, I'll start: Personally, even though I read a lot of manga, I own very few in physical format, as I don't have much space where to put manga, due to already having way too many "normal" books. So I focus on reading stuff digitally, either through y'know-what-kinds-of-sites or buying them legally through Kindle in case I can't find them through the former way (e.g. in case they're too obscure for someone to bother releasing them that way). The ones I own physically are thus because the publisher only released them in physical format (yes, there's such stuff even in this modern age) so I didn't have any choice if I wanted to read them, and they also were a tad inconvenient for me to get, as they weren't sold over here, so I had to buy them from Amazon.fr, so I had to pay the obviously not cheap postage costs as well. At any rate, here's the entirety of my physical manga collection:  Yup, this is literally it. This was a series about a girl from Florence who meets a girl that came there from Crimea and is looking for her little sister who was taken away or something, so they go around the 15th century East Mediterrenean to look for her. I read the first 2 volumes and half of the third, as I ended up dropping it due to the exposition and explanations of things being a tad too much of an infodump for my taste. I liked btw how they also showed Crete - must be the only time I've ever seen it in a manga. :-) - And, in case digital collections count, I can show you my Kindle stuff as well, but will have to somehow filter out everything that isn't manga from the shelf. Edit: turns out there's an option to show only "Comics", which includes manga. So, my english-language collection:   And my french language collection:  La Lanterne de Nyx was a pretty interesting series, as it was about a girl in late 19th century who was hired by a guy who ran a shop selling the lastest inventions as imported from Europe. I ended up dropping it after the 3rd volume btw, so I didn't read the 4th one (whoops). ------------------ As for my latest readings, I most recently read the 5th volume of Quality Assurance in Another World (had to buy it from Kindle because while I had found the first 4 volumes from a y'know-what-site when I first discovered it, it was apparently too obscure for whoever posted it to continue with vol.5), and added a GL series I found yesterday to my reading list (I put everything I'm reading on stalled, because most of them get updates with new chapters rather irregularly). I'm also looking forward to the next volumes of Ya Boy Kongming and Quality Assurance (but Kodansha hasn't announced a release date yet), and the 2nd volume of the light novel version of The Holy Grail of Eris (Yen Press - the ones who licensed it - also release the manga version, but I prefer the LN in this case, as I feel it gives more details and content in general and in a more easy to remember way). -- Feel free to comment as well with your own collections and readings! (just saying, not that I expect anyone to actually do so, but who knows...) |

DigiCat said: Thanks for the compliment. :-)Nice little collection :) Not Your Idol looks interesting, and Honey Come Honey i see cats on the cover so definitely got my attention 🐱 Not Your Idol was iirc about a girl who used to be an idol, but retired from that after she was attacked by a stalker with a knife and started dressing like a man so she wouldn't draw attention in a sexual way again. She met a boy at school however who seemed like he could accept her for who she was but the manga plays with the possibility whether he was maybe the stalker or not and this is he or isn't he stuff wasn't very much to my taste so I ended up not buying the 2nd volume (and besides the series is now on hiatus anyways according to Anime-Planet). As for Honey Come Honey, it's about a girl who meets a boy who seems intimidating, but he actually likes cute stuff (and makes cute handknit figurines and stuff) so they become friends and soon enough start dating. A few chapters (equivalent to the first 2 volumes last time I checked - maybe there are more now) are unofficially translated in English, so I bought in French vol.3 (but it's in another French Kindle account, so I didn't make a screencap of that, because that was the only manga in that account) and vol.4 as can be seen in the pic (I dropped the series after that as I got the gist of it). From what I recall, vol.4 didn't have much to do with cats btw (nor the rest of the series for that matter), so they were probably added in the cover for flavor or something. Just fyi btw, if you want to find more cat manga you can browse the "Cats" tag on Anime-Planet, as while afaik there are stacks with cat themed manga over here too, I feel the tag includes more stuff. |

DigiCat said: Yes, it seems like I might need to use the "Watched Topic Posts" setting. It seems like watching is enabled by itself on topics I create myself, but I had this particular notification setting turned off due to getting way too many notifications from a forum game I used to play, which was annoying as I got notifications even when nothing major happened (that particular game was one that was run in rounds daily, and I received notifications even when there weren't any rounds underway). At any rate enabled it now - I normally prefer to not receive too many notifications, but I guess I can make an exception...Thanks :) Yes i've got some cat manga/anime interest stacks i saved 😸 Maybe check how you set notifications?
