Another week in the books. Let's chat about manga in the general discussion thread! Feel free to use this thread for questions, comments, recommendations, etc.

Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).

I have been on vacation this past week, so my reading has been sporadic. My internet connection has been incredibly irregular and I have found it very difficult to read while on the beach. The sun is so bright that I need to wear sunglasses, but the sunglasses make it impossible to read things on my phone screen due to being polarized. My point is that it has been a mess.

In any case, there are a couple things I wanted to highlight from this past week:

Puberty, an All Boys School!? and Nakano-kun - The final chapters were translated and released. I had a lot of fun with this incredibly silly series. It's a fairly quick read, so it isn't a big commitment to knock out.
Houkago no Meikyuu Boukensha: Nippon to Isekai wo Ikiki Dekiru You ni Natta Boku wa Level Up ni Isoshimi Masu - Ran across this one randomly by literally tapping it accidentally in my app. The premise is basically an isekai where the human from Japan can travel back and forth as he wants. It is a slow-life style story, so don't expect drama or action. It reminds me a bit of Welcome to Japan, Elf-san!, but even lower stakes.
The Gal Who Was Meant to Confess to Me as a Punishment Game Has Apparently Fallen in Love with Me - I caught up with this series over the past week. I can't say that I have liked the recent chapters as much as the beginning. The basic premise is that a girl is dared by her friends to ask a very non-threatening classmate out to help her get over a fear of men. This classmate happens to overhear the dare, but plays along with the whole thing. Then, the story is about the two of them actually developing feelings for each other. Their relationship progress just doesn't feel earned though. They basically go from virtual strangers to practical proposal in no time at all.
Tensai Majo no Maryoku Kare - I think I found this series from somebody in this community (I apologize for forgetting who). However, I wanted to highlight it because I just caught up and recent chapters have been pretty fun with an actual feeling of progression. The basic premise is that there is a genius witch prodigy, but she uses up so much magic through her exploits that she loses all her MP (something that doesn't regenerate in this world). She then has to live a mundane life with a former student. That is when the real magic happens...
