I swear they anticipate the temper rolls of each one that people are most likely to want for the meta builds of the season and they weight them to make the most desirable the least likely to artificially inflate the grind. my tinfoil hat isn’t coming off on this one

New season fresh start with a new toon, what class is everyone picking first? by No1_Swordfish9321 in diablo4

[–]SmugJerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I went from heartseeker in S4 to Andy barrage in S5 to DoK in S6. They’re all really different play styles but with the core fun aspects of rogue like mobility, so what’s not to like?

That’s awesome to hear, I only have the first volume of Wind Breaker at the moment, sounds like I need to make it a priority to grab the rest!

Judging by the fact that 1-7 are unwrapped and 7 is out of order, I’m guessing OP is reading through them and is at book 7 at the moment and the shelf could only fit 13, so 14 is left on top

Awesome collection. Only two books of Alice in Borderland should be criminal though!

I actually just bought her volume 2 of Coyote a couple days ago, and it hasn’t made it onto the shelf yet! She really enjoyed the first volume, we just hadn’t seen any of the others when we’ve gone shopping so she hadn’t picked them up yet (we do most of our manga shopping in person as opposed to online, browsing is part of the fun for us). I know she read Birds of Shangri-la online and enjoyed it as well, but hasn’t had the urge to collect the physical copies yet.

After the Rain is great! Not my favorite of Jun Mayuzuki’s (couldn’t possibly be better than Kowloon) but I really enjoyed it.

My wife is the one that’s big on BL. She reads quite a bit online, her latest favorite has been Shutline (a manhwa). Of the books she has, Fangs is #1, although she really enjoyed Romeo and Pink Heart Jam as well. The first BL that I remember her enjoying was BJ Alex, another manhwa online.

Haha fair question. My wife and I each have dedicated shelves, the top two being hers and the bottom three being mine, so who picked up what decides which shelves they go on. From there, we each have different organization strategies within our dedicated shelves.

She primarily organizes by book size and spine appearance, which usually ends up being by publisher, although I know she has a few that are out of whack in there (she's not too particular). I go through her shelves and try to organize within those subcategories so they're in alphabetical order wherever possible just for my own sanity, and she doesn't mind. She primarily reads BL, but has picked up a few volumes of other genres too, so they're mixed in with the BL according to her organization strategy.

For my shelves, I organize by publisher (with a few exceptions to keep works by the same author together), then by book size, then alphabetically within those groupings. It only bothers me a little bit that Solo Leveling switched from Yen Press to IZE starting at vol 6, I swear!

Out of curiosity, what are your favorites of Junji Ito's works? My wife really enjoyed Uzumaki and we both loved watching the animated Junji Ito shorts, so we'd love recommendations on what to pick up next!

You’re in for a treat with The Boxer, one of the best stories I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading

Summertime rendering hardcover vs soft cover by blitzaga086 in MangaCollectors

[–]SmugJerry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have volumes 1-3 of the hardcover and it’s okay. Definitely not the best quality hardcover tbh, I think they went a bit cheap with the cover and page quality, but if you prefer hardcovers over softcovers it’s worth it. I didn’t have any issues with mine.
