Back for the first(?) time! Weekly Shogakukan Edition is now Strict Algorithm LLC.

As noted before, not much will change --this is to be legally distinct from Shogakukan. We'll still be doing threads, contests, and translations as always.

Thank you, @andysislands.bsky.social for the gif!

Takahiro Kato (Psycho Eyes/Jinmen)’s artwork commemorating season two of the Frieren anime.

It airs every Friday and streams on Crunchyroll.

The caption: “She's too ecchi.”

Whether that's accurate or not, I'll leave for you to decide.

In it, Shizuka, a girl with psychic powers but no defense against ghosts, is the apprentice to Kamui who has immense psychic powers and uses unique means to exorcise evil spirits.

Including, but not limited to, pillow talk, foreplay, and, of course, going all the way.

Not a Shogakukan manga but this is so funny and oddly touching we had to share: this manga is being recommended not by another creator but by the writer’s Dad?!

The father’s quote is “Takahiro’s always been a good child who loudly greets people.”
