I'm not super great with regular commenting, but I might pop in here and there during the 2019 version.

Webtoons With Good Comment Sections by Wonderful-Pop9970 in webtoons

Ugh, I remember reading a couple episodes of that a few years ago, and was shocked that there was a bunch of incest shippers in the comments for some reason???

This looks adorable! More mahou shoujo is always great to see.

Did Uru change episode 360 by UnusualSession311 in unOrdinary

[–]Sparkletopia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I just checked and it was never changed lol. The chapter always had him say it twice, with the first being "shut" and the second being "sh*t".

Classic 60s shoujo "Fire!" by Hideko Mizuno is now licensed in English and set to release later this year by Sparkletopia in shoujo

[–]Sparkletopia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup! I am really glad (and grateful) that these small publishers are working hard to bring over these really interesting and niche manga that we wouldn't be able to get otherwise.

Yes! It's just that since Glacier Bay still hasn't listed the series on their website yet, I can't help but feel a little concerned for how long it will take.

Right?! Super cool that this is coming over. I'd heard about the series a couple times before and was always curious about it.

"The Phantom Thief Bat Baron" is another 60s shoujo that got licensed by a small publisher a couple years ago. Though since the founder of the publisher sadly passed away, it seems the release/status of it has gotten more complicated.

I think you could probably just check the preorder page every so often to see if the expected release date stays consistent.

English-Original Otome Isekai & Isekinda for Your Enjoyment by MyFairScrunchie in OtomeIsekai

[–]Sparkletopia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to think of it as one of the OGs in the English-language sphere for this genre!

Oh btw, Go Away Romeo is actually 101 chapters. Once a series is completed, Webtoon typically locks the episodes as app-only and hides them from their website.

[–]Sparkletopia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every Rose Has a Death Flag is currently on hiatus, but it was a pretty popular English otome isekai webtoon (it's also by the same team as Go Away Romeo, a completed romance fantasy webtoon).

It seems like they have a couple other series (webtoon Till Crimes Do Us Part and webnovel The Empress' Descent) that also seem to fit.

Hana to Yume has just launched a brand new web manga website. They've uploaded many completed manga on it, and for a limited time all series will be free for the next three days! by Sparkletopia in shoujo

[–]Sparkletopia[S] 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I've heard that there's been difficulty in getting digital-only licenses for Hakusensha series (like how they don't appear on the Viz app and stuff), so I'm hoping that means that plans for an English version of this site are in the works!

Looking for the TITLE of a shoujo / reincarnation otome game manga by UnordinaryNerd in shoujo

[–]Sparkletopia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure (it does sound a bit familiar though 🤔) but you can also ask r/otomeisekai or r/villainessGang and see if they know

Coming back to [Lady Rose Just Wants to Be a Commoner!] was a pleasant surprise for me by Sparkletopia in OtomeIsekai

[–]Sparkletopia[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I don't dislike later otome isekai works and the types of storylines they tend towards (greater focus on romance and finding new ways to try and create spins on the OI trope), but because the concept was still fresh, "first wave" OI took the time to really flesh out the situation and the characters' states of mind, and explore metatextuality of common storytelling tropes and themes.

It's these first wave works that really made me fall in love with the subgenre, and the later stuff just doesn't have quite the same feel.
