Last week was a bit confusing for me.
First, I finished After the Rain and I don't know why. Don't take me wrong, it's not a bad series - it has a few interesting moments, some really pretty panels and ended in a way I found satisfying enough. It's just... I could not care less about the relationship between MC and her manager, i.e. the main premise of the whole thing. Maybe I really wanted to see if they end up together or not, I don't know. I liked the overall message at least.
Apparently this series has an anime adaptation too! I'm not sure how I never heard about it since it's not that old (released in 2018) but it's supposedly pretty good. Might check it out some day.
Second, I started reading Stravaganza. By mistake. I was planning to check out Claymore but ended up mixing the two for some reason - you can imagine my surprise after seeing all the fan service Stravaganza has to offer.
I kept reading, even after realizing my mistake, and I don't regret this mix up. Haven't finished the whole thing yet (one more volume to go) but what I did read turned out pretty fun and way more serious than expected. The beginning of the second/main (?) arc reminded me of the early Attack on Titan chapters with all the suspense and almost unstoppable danger. It's good.
Finally (not as a part of the confusion saga), I decided to check out The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated! It should be good as long as I can keep myself from binging as most of the humor so far seems to revolve around Jahy being pathetic due to loss of her powers. I'm still early on so I'll see how/if things change in later chapters but I hope it won't stick to a single gag doing all the work - as fun as it is it might get old really quickly.
