I read most of La corda d'oro a few years ago. Then at the very start of this year I went back and continued it. I think it was really good up until maybe just over halfway. Then it kinda falls a bit honestly. But I still enjoyed it. Would give it a 3 stars(ish) overall.

I also read like 6 volumes Dawn of the Arcana a few years ago. Then this year have decided to finally continue and finish it. A few years ago I actually didn't like it that much. Gave the first 6 volumes 2 stars. But since i've continued I actually like it a lot more now. lol

I don't remember why I did not continue La Corda D'Oro, I read it years ago. Probably because I was still in high school so did not have my own money LOL!
I'm glad you are liking Dawn of the Arcana a lot more! It took me a few volumes to get into it, but I did enjoy it.
Wow, you have read a lot of manhwas too! Only two on my list are manhwas, I have a hard time finding any

I read all my manhwa online (webtoon.com)

I also read most of my manga online. From Shonen Jump app and other places...
Also borrow A LOT from the library. (like at least 150 every year)

I read most of La corda d'oro from the library when I was in highschool :)

I actually only own 2 mangas haha- Deathnote All-in-one & a Sherlock Holmes manga

Manga is really expensive in Australia (where I live) especially since I don't have a job haha

omg you've read sirens lament, noblesse, greatest outcast and dice! I really enjoyed those manhwas. If you like reading horror I recommend you read American Ghost Jack/Jack the American Ghost on tapas. it was actually good

Wow. I absolutely love horror but am still kinda new to it. So thank you very much for the recommendation! I’m definitely going to read that ASAP

I have always wanted to go to australia! Yea manga is expensive here too. Even though I have a job, now I have to use money for boring adult things ha!
Tomie is good, and I see you'ce read many of Ito's other works. I think you'd like it as well!

Yeah. I really really want to read Tomie. And Frankenstein too. I think that’s actually a bunch of short stories by him. But I’m not sure haha. I’ve actually also read Mimi’s ghost stories by him as well. Which is really good if you haven’t read it :)

I think you're right, Frankenstein and Shiver are both short story collections. Tomie is really really good! I'll have to look for Mimi's ghost stories, thanks for the recommendation!

UPDATE—-
I’ve now finished Dawn of the Arcana. Really enjoyed the ending and am now sad it’s over. Ha.

Am also currently reading Versailles of the dead, and it is very very good. I’m really loving it. Found out after I finished the first volume that it’s by the same person who did Afterschool charisma- Which is one of my all time favs. So yay.

Forgot to say before, but I’ve also read Black bird. Don’t know how I forgot. It’s one of my favourite mangas. Lol

UPDATE ——
Am reading Gantz cause I read Inuyashiki by same author this year and it’s one of my favourites now. I’m on vol. 8 and it is SOOOO good! Really don’t like Kei as a character though.

I enjoyed what I’ve read of Gantz. The volumes are sadly kinda hard to get now. I enjoyed the anime as well. The 2 live action films were just too damn bizarre 🤣

I got a whole run of Inuyashiki from a Humble Bundle and have been meaning to get to it.

Gigantic also looks interesting. I mean who doesn’t wanna see Attack on Titan with giant naked ladies instead of Titans 🤷‍♂️

Okay. 1. You really need to read Inuyashiki. It’s awesome!

2. How far into Gantz are you? And do you know of any other manga that’s similar?

And 3. I had no idea he even had another manga. So I couldn’t help myself and I just read GIGANT vol. 1. And. It was super weird! Lol. At first I really didn’t think it was gonna interest me that much. But by the end I started to find it really interesting. Especially the last chapter in vol 1! That chapter was crazy. Lol and I really did not expect it. So now I’m super excited to continue on and find out what in the world is happening!

I recommend GIGANT lol. At least the 1st volume. Haha

I don’t think I read any farther in the story than the anime.

As for recommendations I’m not sure other than to recommend other dark violent sexually charged manga. So Berserk, Blame, and Elfin Lied off the top of my head.

I still plan on getting into all 3 of Hiroya’s more well known series but I never find the time or the drive. I just juggle too many hobbies and want to watch/read/play far too many things. LoL

UPDATE-----
Read the first 10 volumes of Assassination classroom- It's so good and weird and funny. Highly recommend

Read the first 5 volumes of Vagabond (omnibus)- Would have finished it by now but where I ordered it from keeps saying they have run out of volume 6. I ordered it in Jan. And I looked around and it's out of stock everywhere in Australia :(

Read the first 5 volumes of Vinland saga (omnibus)- Very very good and have all the volumes borrowed out from the library so will continue very soon.

Read vol. 1-4 of Way of the househusband- LOVE IT! One of my fav manga series ever and I can't wait for the 5th volume to be released in Australia soon.

Read Frankenstein, Smashed and tried No longer human by Junji Ito- Loved Frankenstein & Smashed and got about 50 pages into No longer human and DNF'd it. First book I've DNF's by him :(

On the 4th dragon ball volume (omnibus edition)- Absolutely loving it! Can't wait to continue

Read the first 2 volumes of Phantom Seer- It's really good but I think it's overhyped for what it is

Read vol. 1-3 of soul eater- Gave them 3 stars. It's good but unless someone says it gets a lot better I probably won't continue to read much more

Finally finished Fullmetal Alchemist series- SO SO good! Really like how it ended

Finished Puella Magi Madoka Magica- There's way better manga out there

Finished L-DK- My guilty pleasure romance manga i've been reading for years. I love it

Caught up on Skip beat and One punch man- Love them both

For anyone that's read all of attack on titan---

I DNF'd vol. 32. But the series recently came to an end. Should I just read the rest of it? It has been a 2/3 star series for me. Is the ending worth it?

Wow that's quite the list their Grace.

It could really differ in our opinions since a lot of people were disappointed with the ending. for me it's a good conclusion to the story. there's nothing in there to miss out tho.

UPDATE-
Caught up on all the omnibus volumes out of Vinland Saga. Waiting until the next omnibus volume releases to read more.

Read all 12 omnibus volumes of Vagabond plus the 37 the individual volume that's not in the omnibus editions. Then found out the SERIES WAS NEVER FINISHED! Spent like $300 and 7 months of my life reading and being obsessed with this series and I may never find out how it ends! The last volume was released in 2015. So sad 😥

Have also read a lot of One piece. I've read like 30 volumes or so in the last month ish. I'm on volume 60 now. Absolutely loving it! Even bought one piece inspired pants. Lol

Also been obsessed with Haikyuu recently. Am currently on volume 8 but I bought a Haikyuu jumper too. Haha

Nice Grace. That’s a lot of reading.
