Another week in the books. Let's chat about manga in the general discussion thread! Feel free to use this thread for questions, comments, recommendations, etc.

Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).

A couple series I wanted to highlight from what I read this past week:

What would you do if the girl you love is already in an arranged engagement with another guy that is super nice, talented, and rich? Would you crossdress as a girl and then get hired as his maid in order to seduce him to break up the engagement? Well, that's what happens in this series. As you would expect from a premise that silly, things get silly and messy. However, there are also some great characters in this series and it has been fun.

The finale for this series came out this past week and it was great. Don't be intimidated by the chapter count in this series as they are all just single-page chapters. I really enjoyed it and for a good long stretch of time, this was one of the first things I would load up and check each morning to see the latest chapter.

This series has had a pretty inconsistent release schedule on Mangadex, but I really like this series. If it was up to me, I would have given this series the Best Artwork award personally. I am mainly including this series here to shill for it any chance I can get.

Maid Hachiya-kun Is In Love / Maid wa Koisuru Hachiya-kun

Cuttlefish IRL

Also, Hachiya x Ikegai > Hachiya x Hanazono.

Hachiya-san x Ikegai is great, but so is Hachiya-kun x Hanazono. I do feel like we haven't gotten much time with Hanazono and I would appreciate more chapters with her and Hachiya-kun to help us better feel his professed feelings, but the maid antics are just too much fun. The real wildcard is where Kyousuke is going to end up in all this

Oh man, can we get the Love Bullet girls to swoop into romcoms that are stuck and not moving anywhere? I would love to see them step in to some series and take the proverbial shot. Also, how they would resolve some tangled webs of love polygons.
