manga

World Trigger Ashihara Daisuke

Humanity vs neighbors (aliens) 

A shounen led by strategy and teamwork; it's almost sports esp in the rank wars arc. Really like it and I use pre/post-watori to determine my media interest eras

Blue Lock Muneyuki Kaneshiro / Nomura Yusuke

A training program to craft the world's greatest egotistic striker

Less sports more death game, and you should treat it like so. It's funny how important soccer was in As the Gods' Will 2 and now the mangaka has a soccer manga, it's like a natural progression

Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill Eguchi Ren / Akagishi K

Salaryman isekai who cooks, literally

My favourite isekai cooking manga. Less of a power fantasy, more of an ideal fantasy...? Protag travels, cooks and eats - the dream. His powers aren't overpowered in a world bending way, and the food always looks so good 

Land of the Lustrous Ichikawa Haruko

Gems who fight against the Lunarians, and a gem who's looking for their purpose

Phos... You think it can't get worse and then it does... You hope things become better even though all signs point towards ruin - but they did find a purpose in the end... Art wise it's beautiful, the framing, compositions and the expert use of negative space are so captivating

Happy Birthday Summer

A story about living with loss, guilt and grief

Changed my brain chemistry actually. If you know anything about the fics I write then you'd know. I always cry at the same spot every time somehow

Shinmai Shimai Futari Gohan Yutaka Hiiragi

Two sisters and their bonds strengthened through cooking

Cute slice of life cooking manga that's in my rotation for breakfast reads. I've reread chapter 4 so many times because I really like the tomato in soup situation

Restaurant to Another World Inuzuka Junpei 

Every week, the restaurant creates doors leading to other worlds and patrons

My favourite isekai restaurant type manga. There's a second adaption that's closer to the original novel (to my understanding), but I think the first version makes it work really well in the manga format

Katekyō Hitman Reborn Amano Akira

Become mafia, fight people

I feel violent towards Mukuro
