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).

Got the final volume of My Dress-Up Darling last week. It's a decent final volume, but it feels a bit rushed and disjointed.

Still, I loved the overall manga a lot. My favourite arc is the Haniel arc. I think the mangaka did a stellar job portraying the haunting captivation the characters had for that fictional manga character and thus managed to captivate the reader too (at least for me). That's gonna be tough to adapt to anime.

I'll probably reread the entire manga soonish.

My understanding is that the manga ended kind of suddenly for health reasons, so I'm hoping we'll actually get an anime-original ending for once. Just because the mangaka's body gave up doesn't mean they were necessarily out of good ideas!

Ah that's sad to hear! Makes sense though.

so I'm hoping we'll actually get an anime-original ending for once

Yeah, not so much original, but an addition to it!
