Stores had Halloween decorations up for sale in August, and Christmas decorations have been up for a few weeks now... I don't know if they look at calendars anymore.

Why have one aquarium date when you can have 300?

I don't know if it's a real thing or not, but one of these days I'll have to make a reading list out of "aquarium date" manga.

Calling "masterpiece" with only one chapter released, people not overreacting at all.

Bentus @bentus.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

For some reason the third volume will also have a delayed release... unless you're from Europe 😏

Master-Peace and Mignon on a 100% coinback... not that I can purchase them a second time but still.

Bentus @bentus.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

a few tweaks later, that should do it

of course moderation had to censor it, probably should have used the cat placeholder pictures instead

Mangabaka's card design is too good not to re-use it for personal calendars

That was a funny read, too bad it did not get any extras.

The other global releases: Dolsha ("Banana Scandal") returning with "Benevolent Violence". Inzig returning with "Monster in the Closet". "Underline" by Chub (previously adapted "Stranger").

It's hard to tell because they blurred the cover, but Ashes in the Wind is by PARK Ji-yeon, who made Wolf in the House and its sequel/spin-off Nightfall.

And there's also the bonus chapters for TEN, which ended prematurely because of the creator's health.

The soundtrack absolutely slaps, though there's one piece that comes every time a specific thing happens and it kind of spoils it :(

After going through my Tapas list, there are two works that don't have another platform... yet.

I have no idea who that is but she gives Red Alert bad guys vibes (Tricia Helfer did it better though)

New announcements are good, but at the same time they forget about their ongoing titles like The Red Thread...

So much of adulthood is grieving in secret. Grieving ex lovers, grieving dead friendships, grieving your parents sinking into old age, grieving the person you thought you'd grow into. Grieving cities you never got to live in. Grieving parts of you that couldn't survive in present day.

If they get 5% on domestic books, I wonder how much they get on translated versions...

I was assuming manhwaga were getting more out of books than merch, but it turns out it's the opposite.
