The two latest manga that have caught my eye are Sounan desu ka? and Choujin Koukousei-tachi. Choujin is an isekai story with seven people warped from the real world to the fantasy world, but strangely enough they all had superpowers even before they arrived, which is a cute twist.
Sounan desu ka? is a survivalist manga set on an uninhabited island. It has cute girls combined with lots of neat information on how to get by starting from zero.
I'm going to need lots more manga series like these to fill up the whole of 2019. There aren't as many books to read as were available in 2018, there's no Olympics, no more music to scrounge up, no new visual novels, and only a few new movies slated to come out.
I could be reading the 7th and last light novel of Uchi no Musume, Hatsukoi 1/1 or Sanaba Witch, but these new manga series tend to be better than all those options.
Even though this year's anime is excellent, there's far too little of it to cover a full week. Even taking into account the series I'm rewatching as well as those I'm watching for the first time, there's still a lot of unscheduled time.
Nanoha Reflection's manga is slated to end this month, after which we'll learn whether they intend to make a Detonation manga, resume making Nanoha Force, or just quit the series entirely. This would be of more relevance if English audiences could at least read the Vivid manga which is already out, but it's been mysteriously abandoned by the scanlation community.
At least Fate/kaleid liner prisma illya 3rei is now all caught up and properly translated into English over at mangadex. Sadly the chapters have been very short recently so not much progress in the plot has actually occurred. Now I'm just annoyed with how long the author is taking to complete his story, never mind the translators.
Tales of Vesperia is coming out Friday, which will broaden my options a bit. The playoffs resume this weekend which will help. But for the next couple days Choujin Koukousei is the only thing in town.
