A collection of short stories about humanoid monsters co-existing in modern world with humans. Some characters show up more than once too. It's kinda cute and I like the bits of world building that shine through showing the co-existance aspect.
<Cidward> God willing, we'll all meet in Buttquest 2: The Quest for More Butts.

Been watching that as it was done by the artist on dA (Shepard).  It's great stuff =)
Well, Goodbye.

I enjoyed reading through Ultimate Rock Paper Scissors, a short 20 chapter manga about...well, you can figure it out. It's quick, it's simple, and enjoyable.

On a slightly different theme? Another tournament series I'm enjoying is World's End Valkyrie, also known as Record of Ragnarok.

Concept of this one: The gods have decided humanity is despicable, hopeless, and a cancer upon Earth. Before they can vote to wipe them out, a Valkyrie convinces them to give them a small 'chance' by selecting champions from its history to fight against the gods for a chance for survival.

Mind you, it's gods against humans, so humans technically shouldn't have much of a chance at all. Thankfully, that Valkyrie has a plan to MAYBE give them a fighting chance.

This one's ongoing, and only two matches have occured so far: Round 1 = Lu Bu vs Thor, Round 2 = Adam vs Zeus.

The champions from each side are noted in the following list though the specific fighter of any given round and thus the match-up is left unknown for now.

I haven't taken the chance to catch up on it yet, but I've been noticing that Karakuri Circus seems to have gotten picked up again. I really enjoyed this manga back when it was being translated by Null. Then it got dropped for 4 years at around volume 10. Then it was picked up by Funnuraba. Then it got dropped AGAIN for 3 years, at around volume 25. It looks like Nakamachi Scanlation has picked it up again, and they've translated around 2 volumes so far. Both excited about it getting picked up again and maybe a little leery about it getting dropped again. This series is LONG (43 volumes total), so it would kind of suck for it to go the path of Hunter x Hunter again (even if it's more of a scanlation issue with this series rather than mangaka).
<Cidward> God willing, we'll all meet in Buttquest 2: The Quest for More Butts.

Not sure how the forum feels about mangadex, but I thought https://mangadex.org/title/41728/though-i-may-be-a-villainess-i-ll-show-you-i-can-obtain-happiness
was cute. Five oneshots about the otome game villainess getting her happy ending. I think I liked the second story best.

I...maay have already recommended this to Drac.

>_>

Just possibly.

The second story was the one with the sisters, right? I liked that one too.

Mangadex is great?  What's the drama? :3

Does not fall into the "whiny rambling-moralization hero" cliche of most isekai.  There is a bit of moral lecturing in the last arc, but heck, this isn't a Chinese cultivation novel.

I've been enjoying reading this story about an AI/android maid trying to protect/cure her zombie master, often times more from humans themselves than from other zombies. And of course, there's plenty of evidence that her master happens to be a mutant zombie that could hold the cure for the virus. Thankfully she's no ordinary housekeeping android! She's a superpowered one! Kinda silly in some ways, good action, and the AI/androids that are the main characters are often way more human than the actual human beings who are all pretty much horrible people.
