Anyone else stuck in a rut where none of your usual series update but you don't have the drive to start on your backlog? That was me this last week. OK, not entirely.
I did look through some of the series I wanted to read but were dropped by the scanlators for one reason or the other. The one I miss the most currently is probably Traveling Gyaru - pretty fun series about a gyaru who travels Japan on a bike, trying to make it to her friends wedding. It has comedy, interesting tips about travel and it's just a fun read in general. Only 12 out of 27 chapters are translated...
Another fun (and stupid) one was Power Antoinette - a comedy manga set during the French Revolution. The gimmick here is that Marie Antoinette (and her children) are all about bulking up so Marie manages to escape the guillotine and fights against revolutionaries instead. The biggest disappointment here is the fact the author chickened out of making her swole all the time and made it into a temporary buff instead, it's pretty decent otherwise.
Other than that, I've been filling my time with visual novels. It's kinda funny because I pretty much stopped watching anime and focused on manga because the latter can be engaged with in shorter bursts and yet, I'd rather just spend hours reading those at the moment. It's a weird time man...
