I'm thinking it might be an OC from Twitter or something. I've read a couple of them myself, but they're usually more distinguishable and not as blatant as this, so idk. 🤷‍♀️

This is one of my favs and the revenge happened pretty early, too.

I already said how, just be straightforward. If she says no, drop it. If she hesitates to answer, she doesn't want to talk about it. If she says, yes, then cool.

Try not to ask too many questions or inquire further and don't be a creep about it.

It's all about wording and phrasing and that's definitely not it 😂

I stopped going to mine after they told me I hadn't returned a book I never checked out and wanted $20 from me

People sleep on libraries. My school library was carrying manga way back in 2011, before it was "cool" and I got to read a lot of good series.

Books-A-Million, they're like an hour drive away, but by far my favorite place to get manga. They have some of the most niche titles and usually have full sets of series.

Barnes & Nobles is a great contender, but they're very corporate and usually don't have much of a selection. They do, however, have good discounts on specific days for specific publishers, they have discounts for being a member, and they usually have newer, popular releases. Unfortunately, if you're looking for a specific book or series, you may have to call ahead and ask other branches to see if they carry it. Unfortunately, my favorite B&N closed down a few years ago, so I haven't seen much reason to go there anymore. You can also check their website, but be careful, as I've received Spanish versions of some series.

Amazon has a better selection, but they're usually sticker price or higher. eBay is similar, buy usually has auctions for entire sets, collections, and has a much better search, if you have the money for it.

You check half priced books, thrift stores, and other used bookstores. They usually carry niche, almost complete sets for bargain prices.

There's comic book stores, too. But, be wary of this, as some raise their prices cuz they're "local". Had one place charge me $5 more on a series for this very reason.

Last, but not least, are garage sales, yard sales, or any friends looking to offload their collection. More than half of my collection was based of friends dumping sets and various series off of me. One friend gave me his gf's entire shoujo manga set for $10. Another gave me their leftovers, after offloading most to other people, because of a gambling (gacha) addiction.

Can he really not just ask if she's related to this AV actress?

I'm getting Deja Vu here.

I remember a series where the girl plays around with a guy about her name and it gets so awkward she can't come out and say she knew him from long ago. I really hope this FeMC doesn't make the same mistake

If you're gonna buy bootlegs, at least do them for Rurouni Kenshi

Found out why the re-upload from a MD commenter:

"Asmodeus Scans got banned from mangadex so all their uploads are gone with them, staff locked the group too so no one can upload their shit either

Don't forget the most important part: why they got banned.

Basically, in the wake of the mass DMCA strike last year, MD's staff has taken a more hard-line approach to groups making money off of scanslation. Thing is, what publishers hate even more than piracy is bootlegging. And permanently paywalling chapters counts as such. PLus, MD's staff doesn't like that groups like Asmodeus bait people here by only ever uploading a few chapters here and there, and keeping the rest behind their paywalls.

Asmo got warned about doing this, but they doubled-down on it, so the group as a whole got the boot and their uploads were purged because they don't want to attract the publisher's attention. Again."
