Thanks for putting that together. For someone who is new to this manga, it’s been hard to keep track of all the different sites with different names but this thread is super helpful to know that Shonen Jump and Manga Plus are basically the two official sites for reading this manga. I’ll start with the free chapters on Manga Plus and then probably subscribe if I end up liking it. From what I gather, the story is pretty good.

Are the coin-back for BookWalker’s purchases being updated for current purchases? I know on occasion they have special coin-back for certain series or for a limited time. I’m purchasing Bookworm in print but collecting in manga form for a friend who’s purchasing the entire run. I’d like to know if the accumulated coin-back can help offset some of the cost of the manga and discount future purchases.
It is somewhat of a meta-game, but for long running series it can be worth investigating the loyalty programs of each platform and starting your collection on the one which offers the best. Kindle does not have any kind of equivalent program, while Kobo offers occasional coupons. Google Play and Apple iBooks do not currently offer any kind of rewards program for frequent buyers. BookWalker’s system is very explicitly designed to reward frequent buyers of books. So, if you’re in it for the long haul, start your collection of ‘Bookworm’ on BookWalker. (An economically minded fan).

Old method: ask for it. Post on manga related forums and simply ask for a link to the raw chapter you're interested in. (e.g. “Ingoshima Raw Chapter #X Request” on the /a/ board on 4chan or appropriate manga related subreddit). Online kindly and be as specific as possible, and often someone with the chapter on hand will upload it to a temporary file hosting service (e.g. Mega, Google Drive) and link to it in the thread for you.
These links are typically left up for only a short amount of time and are buried in the thread rather quickly. If you are seeking a chapter that was released a while ago (six months or so), it will likely receive little to no attention. Sometimes, manga communities can be very generous with this sort of thing, and often people that have already gone to the trouble of hunting down the chapter in question will be happy to share it with others.

It seems that most scanlation groups used to have their own websites for their translations instead of throwing everything up on these ghost aggregators who STEAL all of the content from the actual creators and scanners. I have a hard time trying to find trusted sources to read now since most everything is thrown up online for everyone to read for free without any compensation to the creators who put in the time and effort to translate these stories for us. The internet has just gotten so much scummier when it comes to scanlations.

I just caught up on the latest arc of 'My Magical Dungeon is a Real-Estate Empire' and wow, the last chapter really threw a curveball. The hero summoned a literal city planner from modern-day Tokyo to help him manage his labyrinth, and now there's a whole subplot about zoning disputes with the local dragon council. It's absurd but weirdly gripping.
I'm mostly here for the harem dynamics though, and the author finally gave the elf archer some serious backstory. Turns out her cold exterior stems from a failed arranged marriage to a noble from a rival forest kingdom. Feels a bit tacked-on, but it explains her hostility towards the new half-demon merchant girl who just showed up. The power scaling is getting out of hand, but I'm too invested to stop now.

This title is extremely specific and sounds almost clinical. It's an eroge visual novel that caters to a very specific audience. 'Summoning an evil god' is a common trope for darker eroge titles and explains how a character will lose control or become corrupted. The rest of the title goes into character development and what kind of fetishes will be shown off. The title is so specific, that it's not really well known outside of dedicated communities and won't get memes or fan art made for it. It's a very consumable product for people with specific fetishes. Looking at it from the perspective of it being a 'story' or 'game' does it a disservice, it's more of an experience.

There is currently no suitable legal digital infrastructure for accessing Japanese manga outside of Japan. Until same-day release manga are made available globally from publishers for reasonable prices, the gray market for fans to read raw manga will continue to exist due to basic supply and demand principles.

I don’t really have any other locations to post, as the official Toho YouTube channel already does a great job of this. But, the character designs for this are all fantastic. Each one is really unique and full of personality. I enjoyed seeing them all in motion in this new, high-definition upload so much. The quality of the animation, the expressive reactions to different situations, and the work that went into making the comedic sequences really work all are things that can get lost in low quality, low-bitrate rips of the anime on other websites. So, for the best way to enjoy this, go to the official channel. Even though the anime is serving up some of the most ludicrous plot points out there, the good animation is worth appreciating.

The normalization of violence to the point where it is just background is very striking in Vol. 6. While in previous volumes a violent event was shocking in and of itself, here it is all covered in administration and logistics. That an injured person elicits one thought from Yoshino – the political implications – and that thought is shown in her workings in the ending, automatically, is the climax of her transformation into a full yakuza gangster. And the tragedy of it all is not the violence itself, but the cold and accurate way her yakuza calculus determines her actions.

Again, I recommend checking Webtoon first, as that would be the main legal avenue for reading ‘Osora’ online. Note though that where you’re located can sometimes affect what you can access on Webtoon (i.e., if you use a VPN or you’re based in a country in which ‘Osora’ is not covered by Webtoon’s licensing, you’ll get a “not available in your region” message). That said, if all else fails, you could check to see if ‘Osora’ has been posted on the Korean Naver Webtoon site — though that would require you to be able to read Korean. (Alternatively, you could wait for ‘Osora’ to receive an official regional license or for it to be printed as a physical work.) But for the vast majority of readers around the world, they can simply check for ‘Osora’ on the regular Webtoon app — and it’ll likely be there.
