Kiniro Mosaic volume 7 available:

Over at kissmanga, the latest volume of Kiniro Mosaic manga is available for reading.  Yen press is publishing the series commercially slowly but surely (more is due in 2019), but when it's available for free there's no reason not to indulge.  Of course, kissmanga has so many ads and popups and redirects that it's almost worth it to just buy the things instead.  At least then your computer won't catch a virus. . .

It's a shame mangakakalot doesn't have Kiniro Mosaic's latest chapters, because it doesn't have any popup problems.  I guess everything is a series of tradeoffs.

However you get it, the latest Kiniro volume is great.  As expected from one of my ennobled series.  I'm amazed there's still so many new things to talk about this late into the series.  But if the material stays at this quality I don't mind the series continuing indefinitely.

I had previously thought that Kiniro Mosaic had been dropped by scanlators, but no, they're just waiting on Yen Press to do the work for them, which makes perfect sense.  That still doesn't excuse the lack of translations for Nanoha Vivid and Fate/Kaleid Liner though.

I'm also annoyed with the slow pace of blu-ray fansubs.  Love Live! Sunshine! is a very famous series with blu-ray sales in the tens of thousands.  Isn't there anyone among those buyers willing to post the series online subtitled in English?  It's been a year since the series aired now.  The same for New Game Season 2, Berserk 2017, and Death March.

These are famous series with huge fan followings.  They shouldn't be slipping through the cracks.  Many weaker shows receive blu-ray releases all the time.  It just doesn't make any sense.  I mean, come on, this is Love Live! we're talking about here!

But oh well, overall, any day with new Kiniro Mosaic is a good day.

I tried out 'Common Sense of a Duke's Daughter' but the main character was annoying so I dropped it instantly.  Next up, 'Gaikotsu Kishi.'
