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!

It is worth noting the series on the app while many, are not fully available (so they’re more like previews) likely they’ll fill the selection in over time but do keep this in mind:

As usual, your analysis is spot on. For now this comes off as an unfinished game with DLC on the way. Which is fine to some extent for a newbie developer, but not someone who’s been in the game this long.

When it comes to hunting demons, magic words are just as important as magic techniques!

This December 18th in Japan, a werewolf game based on #Frieren will be released!

I'll be heading to #NYCC this weekend so if you're going, stop by and say hi~. Otherwise, thanks as usual for spending time with the good book and I this week. Until the next issue~

Strict Algorithm LLC @wsstalkback.bsky.social · 1d

Overall great issue. Parashoppers, Ichika Bachika, Utsurainan desu and Akira being the highlights.

Strict Algorithm LLC @wsstalkback.bsky.social · 1d

Dragemis continues to be fine, really. If it were another artist behind it, I'd say it's a little boring, but admittedly, Kuriyama going in a totally different direction than their last serial has me sticking around, if only to see where this goes.

It's over with anyway but that...just insult to injury forreal. Speaking of which, Strand has ended, and it had the standard "look forward to their next work" at the end --I almost wonder if Strand would have been better in a seinen mag instead?

Strict Algorithm LLC @wsstalkback.bsky.social · 1d

Okay, I gotta ask...what the hell is this TOC? Can Tokaichi just...leave the bottom like that? I swear I've never seen it do that before. Which is to say Land of Monsters was officially dead last, yikes.

The Wednesday Diary this week comes from Kazuhiko Shimamoto who took some time off to chill at a sauna. Rest is good for the hot blooded!

Don't think of them as chapters left, think of this as time we still have with Land of Monsters (Via buff.ly/3g2uDyN)
