My Fav Shoujo-Josei Manga Recommendation
Currently, I've indulged myself in Korean manhwa/webtoon, so I decided to go back and read some Japanese manga for a change. And I highly recommend checking them out since these are some of my favorites. Most of them are pretty new, and it wasn't that long before they started serializing in various shoujo/josei magazines.

Manga the Week of 11/17/21
SEAN: Hey, remember when I totally screwed up? And did all of Seven Seas’s release dates wrong? No? Well. So everything you saw in LAST week’s Manga the Week of should have been on THIS list. Go look at the post for 11/10 for those. I will backtrack and do stuff that should have been on that list for this one. Apologies to Seven Seas.
Airship, in print, has My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s and Didn’t I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?! Lily’s Miracle.
Digitally we see Failure Frame: I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything With Low-Level Spells 3.
Cross Infinite World has the 2nd volume of Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra: World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin.
Ghost Ship already has out Double Your Pleasure – A Twin Yuri Anthology. Twincest: the manga. Yaaaaaay.
ASH: Goodness!
MELINDA: Oh dear.
SEAN: As well as the 8th and final volume of Destiny Lovers.
J-Novel Club debut a new title, Endo and Kobayashi Live! The Latest on Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte (Tsundere Akuyaku Reijou Liselotte to Jikkyou no Endo-kun to Kaisetsu no Kobayashi-san). Two guys playing a game with a villainess suddenly realize that her fiance can actually HEAR their commentary on the game! Can they change the outcome?
Also coming out next week: Are You Okay With a Slightly Older Girlfriend? 6, Ascendance of a Bookworm Fanbook 2, Demon Lord, Retry! 7, Min-Maxing My TRPG Build in Another World 2, the 2nd manga volume of My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me! —AΩ—, Otherside Picnic 6, and the 2nd manga volume of Villainess: Reloaded! Blowing Away Bad Ends with Modern Weapons.
ASH: I’m certainly behind, but hooray for more Bookworm fun!
SEAN: Kodansha, in print, has Drifting Dragons 10 and Sweat & Soap 10.
ASH: I’m reading both those series right now, so this is a good Kodansha week for me.
SEAN: Digitally, the debut is Anyway, I’m Falling in Love with You. (Dose Koi Shite Shimaunda), a Nakayoshi title. From the author of I Fell in Love After School, this is straight-up reverse harem fun.
MICHELLE: I am easy to please and this cover is cute so I will check it out.
ANNA: I do enjoy reverse harem fun.
MELINDA: As do I.
SEAN: Also debuting is Arakawa Under the Bridge. It had come out print-only years ago, now enjoy the digital.
ASH: I enjoyed this series, so am glad that it’ll be more accessible to even more people now.
SEAN: And we get Blue Lock 9, Cells at Work: Platelets! 4 (the final volume), Medalist 3, Mr. Bride 4, and Quality Assurance in Another World 4.
One Peace has a 3rd volume of Farming Life in Another World.
Seven Seas has some debuts. That are already out, please see above.
THE EXO-DRIVE REINCARNATION GAMES: All-Japan Isekai Battle Tournament! (Chou Sekai Tensei Exo Drive: Gekito! Isekai Zen Nihon Taikaihen) is from Mag Garden’s MAGCOMI, and is a parody of the genre, as isekais have become bread and circus tournaments for spectators.
A Life Turned Upside Down: My Dad’s an Alcoholic (You to Bakemono ni naru Chichi ga tsurai) is an autobiographical essay manga from Champion Cross. It’s complete in one volume.
ASH: That’s certainly a tough subject, but I’ve heard good things about the manga.
MELINDA: I suspect this is an important story to tell.
SEAN: And there’s Bite Maker: The King’s Omega 3, The Girl From the Other Side: Siúil, a Rún 11 (the final volume), Karate Survivor in Another World 2, Species Domain 11, The Strange Adventure of a Broke Mercenary’s 2nd manga volume, and Time Stop Hero 2.
MICHELLE: I am several volumes behind on The Girl from the Other Side, but that just means I have a nice little chunk to read up until the end. I hope it’s happy but it’s hard to see how just now.
ANNA: I really liked the first few volumes but stalled out on this series. I’m curious to see what you think of the ending.
ASH: I’m a few volumes behind, too, but I really do love this series.
SEAN: Back to things actually coming out in the future, Square Enix has Wandering Witch’s 3rd manga.
SuBLime has a surprise non-2nd week of the month release with Sayonara Game. A one-shot from Shinshokan’s Dear+, it’s a baseball BL story?
MELINDA: I’m listening…
SEAN: Tokyopop has Ossan Idol! 5.
Udon has the 2nd omnibus of Steins;Gate 0.
Viz gives us BEASTARS 15, Children of the Whales 18, Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku 11, Urusei Yatsura 12, and Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead 4.
ASH: Whoops! BEASTARS has gotten away from me; I didn’t realize how much catching up I have to do!
SEAN: Yen On has Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody 15 and The Greatest Demon Lord Is Reborn as a Typical Nobody Side Story: The Wonderful Life of a Typical Nobody.
Yen Press debuts the manga version of Reign of the Seven Spellblades (Nanatsu no Maken ga Shihai suru), which runs in Shonen Ace. I love the novels, so the manga should also be great.
ANNA: I’m a little curious about this!
Also debuting… sort of… is Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? II, the sequel to the first manga, but let’s face it, it’s just a continuation with a different artist.
We also have Solo Leveling 3, Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun 11, and A Witch’s Printing Office 5.
ASH: I still need to read Solo Leveling, but I’m ready for more Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun!
So, as I try to forget this list and the previous one ever happened, what are you buying?
