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!

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

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~

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

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!

What it was like watching Strand dash towards its ending this week.

Aoi koi is a cute romcom about four sisters all experiencing first loves at the same time. It doesn't reinvent the wheel (neither does this 8-page oneshot), but the art and feels make it worth a read.
