The Intermediate Manga Club (IMC) // Now Reading: ダンジョン飯

I will be shocked if Bocchi wins this round due to 4-koma exhaustion.

admittedly that’s why i didn’t vote for it this time :melting_face: i do want to read it eventually but 4koma right now…

It will probably win eventually. It’s pretty good, though I will say it’s as difficult as 紡ぐ乙女と大正の月 just for different reasons.

And on that note, I’m going to go start a new 4-koma manga that is hopefully not as difficult as those two.

Ah, hostages. I knew I forgot something…

But people promised…

Maybe I should hype my other series more firmly. They’re not doing so great right now…

I think you’re out of luck since it’s also 4-koma. :stuck_out_tongue: (Also, I found that one pretty boring and dropped it after the first volume.)

Poor ごちうさ has no votes despite being my favorite 4-koma and tied for my favorite manga in general. It is in a bit of a weird spot since it’s too hard for beginner but probably a tad too easy for intermediate.

In my case it’s the only 4-koma that I ever enjoyed :laughing:

Yeah, but you also found Mushishi boring, and that’s currently in third place, so quit pooh-poohing my nominations. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m not all that surprised since it’s very popular, but the “wander around and nothing happens but also it’s not a comedy” style doesn’t work for me. It’s the same reason I don’t like Kino’s Journey or Mushishi despite how popular both generally are.

Jinx?

Yeah, Kino didn’t work for me either, but probably more due to the episodic nature rather than the subject matter.

You might have dropped Kuro just before it started getting really meaty, though.

It’s possible and I did consider reading one more volume to see. But there’s just too much manga out there to keep going with series you’re not enjoying.

Such a tight race once again! We’re going to end up with a 4-way tie and the schedule set for the next 6 months…

It still feels weird to me that we are voting again, when FMA hasn’t even started yet :sweat_smile: But that will probably be normal for this club. Most manga aren’t that long in the end :thinking:

My top pick クプルムの花嫁 isn’t doing too well. I already own the first volume physically, but I’ve been putting it off since I’ve been rereading another manga by the same author with a Discord-only book club. That book club will finish in a little over a month, so I may start this one on my own since it doesn’t look like it’ll win here any time soon.

None of my preferred manga are anywhere near the top this time, but I am grateful that Marukochan is holding her head above water at least. :sweat_smile:

Bocchi is feeling a mix of emotions.

I think we outpace the lower level clubs by about taking two-thirds of the time, if not half, right? So it’s not too unusual.

Seconded since I don’t have the time to run another club atm lol

Mushishi will be there next time

Hmmmm do I read 幸せのマチ now or wait for it to get chosen. Such a dilema :thinking:

From what I gathered in my brief read of it, Bocchi is always feeling a mix of emotions.
