That separate category being a dumpster behind the worst Denny’s in town
Many fans are fearing for the future of the manga industry after an AI-generated title took the top sales spot on Japan's largest e-Book store. Some are arguing that AI slop derived from other artists' work should be segregated into a separate category.

Can't agree more...
Mao Hosoya has been around for so long (made his debut in 2019) that people forget he's only 24. Double figures for goals this season, scored a hatty today and took all his goals well. He should be in Europe in January IMO, he's ready physically. Although he may want to say in J1 until post WC.

Speaking of the last thing Ryo writes here, stay tuned for an upcoming piece for some insider insight 👀
I will be blunt. This is an extremely juicy, no risk deal for Mainz & an extraordinarily bad one for Kyoto Sanga. ONE year loan with only an OPTION to buy. In the middle of an unprecedented #JLeague title race. Your captain. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
