... and you said that's a little peculiar

A post for personalized manga recommendations.

I've been thinking of doing this for a while. Comment with what you're looking for, be it a genre or description or the names of a few More Like This Please series, plus whether you prefer licensed volumes or scanlations, and any other parameters (long/short, completed/ongoing, et cet.). I'll suggest two titles to try, based on my sense of your tastes. If you've already read those two, I'll attempt one more title before giving up in despair.*

Because if I'm going to spend five years reading gods know how much of the stuff, the least I can do is make myself useful.

Blind spot: I haven't read very many yaoi series and so am completely unqualified to recommend them (indeed, I'm looking for recs for series that discard the seme/uke dynamic). Weak spot: I have idiosyncratic tastes when it comes to shounen,** especially shounen adventure, which means that while it steers me to non-obvious titles, I often overlook the obvious ones. I'm also weak with manwha and manhua, partly from availability and partly taste. Strengths: shoujo romances and adventures, and yuri fluff.

** I find most shounen rom-com not very com. Nor all that rom, for that matter.

I'll admit. I laughed until I cried.

(I still joke about how amusing it would be to sort of surreptitiously work this into a novel someday...someone will get it and be amused...)

I will request nothing, because I'm still only THREE SERIES into the ginormous list you kindly compiled for me a while back. :D
