Did You Know?
One of the cheapest homeless shelters in Victorian London charged four pennies to sleep in a coffin. Which was... still better than sleeping upright against a rope? — Jordan / Lynn

Manga, manwha, or manhua

So this has come up a couple of times in the cbox but I'd thought I'd start an actual thread for my fellow Asian comic lovers, manga/manwha/manhua, of which I am one.

So, hi! If you ever want to talk comics to me or share current obsessions this thread is a place to do so!

Personally - I've been a fan for fifteen years so Ive read and tried pretty much abit of everything though and go through phases where I demolish certain genres. At the moment I'm a big fan of escapism, semi-predictable romance in a fantasical historical setting (hmm charming much?) with decent female protagonists so I'm reading alot of shoujo, isekai and villainess stories with time travel or reincarnation elements. (I'm at the stage where I'm pretty sure I've read or tried to read everything in that niche).

Take it for granted if I'm not here, or at work or sleeping or doing other necessary things like you know looking after my kids or housework I'm probably reading manga.

I'll get around to mentioning my recommendations soon (15 years - come on it's a gigantic archive and some of them are still being produced chapter by chapter - Skip Beat is killing me). So pop in say hi, let me know what you are stanning? Stalking? and we can gush together or send me a discord or Skype message.

I meant to reply to this 5ever ago but! I am big into manga and manhwa, as well as webtoons which occupy a space ... somewhere among those two things lol. I really like both shoujo and shounen for manga, but I think I'm in more of a shoujo mood at the moment. I absolutely fell in love with 'My Next Life as a Villainess' over this past summer, so if you haven't read that I would recommend it. If you have, we should gush at each other about it :P

This ISN'T shoujo, but I've also been reading SpyxFamily in Shounen Jump (it's a magazine!) and it's phenomenal. If you're looking for escapism Jen, that is it! I'd be curious to hear what your recs are after reading for so long.

I kept meaning to reply to this as well, but squirrel brain got the best of me! I'm also a huge fan of manga, manhwa, and webtoons! I'm an absolute sucker for romance stories [i'll be honest, i'm a bit of a fujoshi >.>], escapism, and supernatural stuff. I also really enjoy plots with the crime/police/agents/yakuza type stuff but idk what singular word to use for that. XD

Here's a handful of what's on my current reading list, but honestly there's so much more lol.
-The Girl Downstairs/Lee Doona!
-Midnight Poppy Land
-Swimming Lessons for a Mermaid
-Spirit Fingers
-To Love Your Enemy
-The Office Blind Date
-The Ex
-Please Throw Me Away
-10th -You and I fell in love with the same person.-
-So I Married An Anti-Fan
-Inso's Law/My Life as an Internet Novel
-Here U Are

I'll definitely be checking out SpyxFamily! Dorothea Birdwhistle
