I doubt Bluesky (or any algorithmic social media) will be any healthier for the psyche, even if it does have far fewer Nazis.

Yeah, in a way so that the direction "going clockwise" means something, as well as outer to inner square, and the center square.

The hard part is trying to see if I can do something interesting with it that's also easy to convey and encourages others to share.

So I've been poking at it for a while

Well, however I do it mine would be supporting, like, "a movie/OVA 5x5" and "a TV series 5x5" and "a manga 5x5" at the same time, and without overlapping titles it will end up being a bunch.

I've been trying to make a "unique storytelling mode" out of it somehow, not a regular grid.
December 27, 2025 at 11:22 PM
Yeah, I’m hoping they’ll “figure it out” at some point. I mean, it seems to work fine for Shueisha. Why would they stick to only a sales fashion that NA doesn’t like?

I find it most strange, since Kodansha has leaned into things like Humble Bundle hardest. They should follow many routes.

Reminds me I need to finally finish my 5x5 concept and drop a few in various categories.

I like making up and promoting my own “favorites” concepts like with OP/EDs here: urusai.social/@cthellis/11...

Yeah, “latest chapter” is not a thing, for now. Just “latest freely-available or premium-ticket” which often means being well-behind current. I use the premium currency to keep up with one title (SB) and ”finish up” certain titles that only have a few premium chapters at the end.

I do use it as a search term on here most-often, tho, looking to chat with fans. Hence how I found your post. 👍
December 27, 2025 at 10:57 PM
Haha, certain titles I just keep rereading, when it’s convenient to! K Manga makes it easy to “read broadly” and so I slowly make my way through even long titles like Chihayafuru and Space Brothers.

Though the “premium currency chapters” can intrude 😑
December 27, 2025 at 10:54 PM
I mean I already saw Planetes in there, I thought it was illegal for a fan of one to not have read the other. 😝

Oh yeah? OH YEAH?!! WELL ME TOO!!



Take that! Or something, maybe.

I see Chihayafuru but I don’t see Space Brothers, let’s fix that real quick. 👍

Also to be fair, have they actually done anything anyone cares about in a decade+?

Best sports anime out there, with the best “overall high school arc” storytelling (though that will require some manga reading for now, too.)

The only other one I can compare alongside, character-wise and story-wise, is Cross Game.

Hey babe. 😘

I mostly play around on Mastodon (if anywhere) but like to check around for people from “the before times” heh
