I would definitely recommend Girl’s Last Tour. It’s on the easier end of manga with no furigana - partly because of the language choices and partly because of the relatively light dialogue.
I loved the post-apocalyptic landscapes, the artistic concepts, the surprises the girls encounter, and the general feel good factor of the story.
Do you think that it’s a different scan or just post-processing?
Seems like either a better scan or way less compression… or both.
First Kindle, then Bookwalker.
Look at the fine texture and shading details, especially noteable in the gap of letter コ. Her face and hair tones also look sharper. To my eye Kindle is far better here. Bookwalker feels somehow “out of focus”, smeared and blurred.
Edit: So Discourse somehow converts these to .jpeg on upload? That makes comparison very hard… but you can do it yourself, this image is in the sample for both.
I agree, that is far better quality. The bottom one, the tones on the circlular tuby thing is completely smeared together, where you can make out the individual toneshapes in the Amazon version.
Weird though - I’ve previously found Amazon has crappier quality. But it’s probably just entirely series to series
Yeah that’s night and day. So they have better scans available that they don’t use everywhere? That makes it worse somehow.
The script is having some trouble and I probably won’t take the time to completely finish troubleshooting it today. In the meantime, there’s always the free stuff search query (although it’s at pretty low tide today).
Not the most amazing deals I’ve seen but Jump comics are 15% coinback with 30% additional if you buy more than 5 vols (I think).
Dandadan and Sakamoto Days are the current highlights, but just about every jump manga is in there probably, so go nuts

Sound Euphonium manga are on sale, but I’m eying the novel - I have a physical on my shelf, but I get the feeling it would be easier to read for me digitally first…
About 350y give or take
actually all the novels are on sale, but the first one has the deepest discount. Although I am actually going to buy it on Kobo…
(Also this book on Colombo. I’ve really been meaning to watch Colombo…)
Well, I was under the weather last week, but genki enough today to troubleshoot what had broken about the script (which was interesting since I haven’t actually really interacted with BeautifulSoup and HTML before).
Apparently amid whatever redesign, the section of the bookwalker pages where the script pulls the series name for a given item lost a field or two, and so I had to change a particular selector from section#information-section to section.t-c-detail-about-information or else every item would have a null series name and everything would fail.
With that change in place it seems to run normally again.

For the 70th anniversary of Ribon there’s a variety of Ribon Mascot Comics on sale for 70 yen pre-tax. ～2/28 (金)まで. Most prominently that includes all of the delightful classic, Chibi Maruko-chan.

EDIT: Ah oops, I shoulda looked more closely at the script output, obviously! Something’s clearly still ending up None but the links are still usuable and I’ll figure out what I still need to fix later on.
ah, the joys of debug
I bought the first five volumes of this shoujo horror anthology series, scream school. There’s also a novel series, but that’s not on sale.
Don’t forget 絶叫学級 転生 as well if you plan to read through the whole series and want to save on the sequel.
I think I’ll hold off for now, there will probably be another sale by the time I get through the first series.

There’s a few things going in the Winter Festival but the only thing that really caught my eye was Inside Mari, the psychological thriller, is up for half price + 40% coinback. This one is ranked surprisingly easy on Natively for the themes it’s into, much like Happiness I think. (I really should read it one day, though it seems a lot heavier than my usual fare)
I’m spoting all volumes of Orange at half price. Wish that had been the case last month when I bought the whole series! It’s a nice read, it has been read here on WK before
Sorry if this is not the right thread for these questions, but I didn’t want to start a new one:
Is there any way to change the Bookwalker JP website language to English, like you can with Amazon JP?
(I see they have an FAQ entry for changing the language in their mobile app, but I mean the full-blown website.)
Can purchased Bookwalker books be converted with Calibre to epub for loading onto ttsu?
(I’m currently buying from the Kindle store, but apparently they’ll stop PC downloads after 26 Feb, so may need to find another store…)
Not that I know of. For novels I buy on Rakuten, those I can convert with Calibre to epub for loading onto ttsu
Fine, I’ll buy vol 1 lol
If you want to know the end you need the first 5 volumes. 6 and 7 are optional
i need to know if i want to keep reading it…
