What is the official stance of Shueisha (or other companies) towards fan-created comics? I assume they are legal under fair use when used as parody or commentary, but the line gets blurred when a fan writes a completely alternate story. Most fan-created comics are non-commercial, which would likely be the reason they are left alone by big companies. They are extremely fascinating, but also sort of anxiety-provoking to me. I really like ‘I See You’ but I fear that one day a company may send a cease-and-desist and the comic will be taken off of the internet. So, I silently download all of the pages to my computer in case.

Oh yeah, it dropped. No ending. I read through everything that was there in one sitting, and then the silence after the last panel was kind of ironic to the title of the book. Don’t read this thinking it’s going to end somewhere.

I read through that whole thread and I’m even more confused than I was before. Some people seem to think it’s impossible, others claim to have found links but are reluctant to share them. Others say it’s just not worth it. I just wanted to read a simple, cute comic about bees. That thread was just too much drama. I’m going to have to go watch some videos of cats instead.

The manga 'A Silent Voice' by Yoshitoki Ōima is a beautiful, emotional journey that really stuck with me. It originally ran from 2013 to 2014 in 'Weekly Shōnen Magazine' and was later compiled into seven tankōbon volumes. What I love about this series is how it tackles heavy themes like bullying, redemption, and communication with such raw honesty. The way Shoya’s growth is portrayed across those volumes feels so organic—it’s one of those stories where every chapter adds something vital.
I’d also mention that Kodansha released an English version, and the physical copies are gorgeous. The seventh volume even includes some bonus content, like author notes and extra illustrations, which fans (myself included) totally geek out over. If you’re into stories that leave you thinking long after the last page, this one’s a must-read.

Just reading the recommendations. This term “projection novel” is new to me, but I do like BL+sci-fi/fantasy. Following this thread for ideas.

Many older readers remember the time of scanlation groups who proudly placed their watermark on the first page of their releases. You used to search for certain groups that were known for their quality. With the growing number of official apps and aggregator sites, which strip their users of all credit for their work, that culture has largely disappeared.
For Borderline, I haven’t seen any notable fan group give it a read. But it’s there, everywhere, anonymously. This removes the translator’s voice from the manga reading experience and the community surrounding a release. Even the official translation reads professionally but is anonymously given to us readers. We’ve become so useable that our loss of connection to the content we read is felt so little. My “where” would be nostalgic for these “fan groups” but for now my practical click is the Webtoon app where Borderline reliably appears.

HALLELUJAH, the classic question of webcomics everywhere. I literally looked for a comic with that title years ago. Now, most of the big aggregator sites where that comic would have been hosted have had it taken down and links are no longer functional, often with poor quality scans uploaded in their place. I recommend just going with the officially sanctioned slow paced reading experience. Lezhin offers free coins daily just for opening the app and watching a short ad, which can be gradually saved up over a couple weeks to purchase a volume of your choice. It’s a bit of a daily grind, but reading can be framed as a little daily quest. And in the meantime, you can read the free preview chapters to get a sense for whether or not you even like the art and the interactions between the main characters Dojin and Hyesung.

If you mean the "lightsaber" censorship, that’s pretty normal for KBL. The official Lezhin US web version is uncensored, though. I haven’t personally seen an R15 version of Jinx, and honestly they’d have to cut or blur a lot to make one.

Oh oh ‘Killing Stalking’… I read that one a while ago on Lezhin and it completely twisted me around in every way. The tension between the two leads is just incredible and the art is fantastic and perfectly captures the eerie atmosphere of the whole thing. For those interested in reading it legally, I know Lezhin and Tappytoon have it.
Please don’t read this on some of the ‘other’ websites that come up in your search as they can contain malware. I’ve listed a couple of other alternatives that are just as good at the bottom of this post. Warehouse and The Pawn’s Revenge are two other alternatives that are just as good at causing you sleepless nights. Just make sure you read something light and fluffy afterwards though!

Recommending a list of works in an unbundled website has intrinsic value to me. Although Naver’s algorithm is incredibly good at suggesting reading materials based on my reading history, an aggregator’s website typically displays a row of thumbnails sorted by most recent update or most popular, etc. Of course, an official portal for works is so much more than a repository for them; it’s a tour guide, and the hassle of accessing it through the portal is worth it for me.
