Finally I could wipe my manga database. After all this years and still no batch edit, what a tracking website.

I had this idea of saving all the best works for later to consume. But I realize if I don't start watch any of them now I won't see all of them in this life. So Frieren, here I go.
I used to scored by how I feel about a work, but I need to write it out to make the scoring somewhat consistent and true to my liking.
Temporary: Now I rate on how I would recommend it to others Serious
10: Eat well, sleep well, exercise, meditate before watching this
9: Beautifully execution, even if everything is flawless, it still lack something to become 10
8: Good plot is a must, go watch in one go and you are distraction-free Entertain
7: Want to watch good and entertain show without full commitment
6: Quick show you can popup at lunch or break time
5: If you are too bored, lazy to watch seriously and all 7 and 6 are finished Gratitude for good show
4: You will have poor soul if you watch this
3: Stop it, don’t go lower
2: It’s horrible, nothing is exciting. I have to ask why are you watching this
1: Just don’t bother, touch grass will give a league better time
Start date: 2023/11/27
Finished Date: Until reach the lastest release
Abstract
The problem with modern manga is the releasing rate, I'm currently reading about 100+ publishing manga and most of them are monthly release. With that huge amount of works and the time between, I bound to enjoy less and forget most of the weak one. Thus I want to read a completed work, but also want to keep track the sense of aesthetic of the release date. In such manner I had an idea to find the origin of manga and slowly progress to the current time, while waiting for all the publishing manga to move their ass. This is my mini thesis on what I had done about this project.
Before 30s
So the oldest manga in MAL database is Tonda Haneko Jou in 1928 by Kitazawa Rakuten (he is considered by many historians to be the founding father of modern manga). But the first modern Japanese comic strip published in 1902 in Jiji Manga, a supplementary for Jiji Shinpō newspaper. And the real oldest manga is believed to be the Choju Jinbutsu Giga scrolls appear in the 12th and 13th century. The Jiji Manga went until 1931 (501 issues) so it's impossible to find and read all of them, so I will just pick one series and move onto the next decade.
After a bit of research, the giga scroll is nonsense. I've touched on a history topic so complex that I'm force to learn just enough and move on. I just read 'Comics and the Origins of Manga' by Eike Exner and won't discuss anything about history of manga here.
Published: The earliest Jiji Manga that mention the work is issue 376. If the chronologicial of the reading URL and OSU library are correct, then the series might started from issue 375 on November 4th, 1928.
Chapter 1: So painful to read this. Old way of spelling, word characters are not distinguished, same problem with punctuation, cursive kanji, abadon katakana like ゐ wi.
Chapter 7: This is the only chapter that all panels have full drawn background. However, the composition of panel 3 and 4 are opposite and against the reading flow.
Art analyze:
- Bubble
- Charcter design
- Style
- Background
- Line work
- Colour
- Content and story:
- SFX
- Paneling
- Text and type setting
Plan for future
This project will take a few years. So in order to catch up to the present, I think I will just pick 1 manga that has the highest MAL score from the released year. I need time to process and think about the story, while also not take too long to progress the project. I could redo the project 2 more times for the 2nd and 3rd manga place, but that is for the future.
Hi Asteroh! Well, Thanks! I'm glad you like my gift! I enjoyed working on it, I didn't know the game MementoMori before, the graphic aesthetic of the game is beautiful! I took the artwork of the owl and Carol (she reminds me a bit of Flayn from Fire Emblem Three House, ahah!) I still have my Krita file if you want me to modify the about me part or anything else! 😊
ashdj thank u so much <3 i tried sm new at that time pls it would look kinda ass in dark mode tho 😭 im glad u liked it anywayy
noo thats totally alright ofc was so nice that u came by a year later to do so lmao
happy new year to u too!!
Is this too insane for you? I really like the album art. I have plenty more heavy stuff heavier than this. Especially uptempo, uptempo is amazing.
Sadly, I do not have enough phone storage to play rhythm games, but maybe I'll get into them more. Tbh, I just prefer listening and bopping to the music instead of extreme concentration lmao... maybe when I can afford VR and get Beat Saber, I like games that keep you active.
Hello! You didn't have to worry so much, the sets you made for me are really cool. ^^ It's special enough because they are a gift from someone else and I didn't make them myself.
I'll use your other set sometime soon. I like how you used the layers. :3
It's cool to meet someone who's into hardcore!
Yep, I know about USAO. I know pretty much everyone in TANO*C. My favourite old song of his is Unstable Shake. As for the new ones, it's either Up In Smoke or Big Daddy. I really like the drops he does (not sure what they're called but they're sick).
Do you know DJ Technorch?

That's very tame uptempo. Also, why's the song so short? ;-;
I'm (not) sorry for bleeding your ears.
