Been reading Asper Kanojo about a doujin mangaka and a girl with Aspergers. It's really well made, a lot of research was done about the human psyche, there's a lot shown about the mental problems people have to live with, a lot of characters with their own things they deal with daily.
But then sadly I've caught up with the translation and realised only half was translated. That's the only gripe I have with manga and not knowing Japanese, I have to wait for complete translations and if I don't I'll just forget everything that happened in the manga a year or more later.

    It ends up that she has faced many hardships herself, and with no intention of leaving, she ends up living with him.

    Heh, I'm sure there was a bit more meat to the story in between her appearing and deciding to stay, but the synopsis sure does make it sound rather spontaneous ^^'

        malmon I don't wanna spoil anything, but there are happy and tearful moments, haven't read stuff like that in quite a while

            Not exactly Manga related, but in the past two years I've made extensive use of my city's public library of ebooks, mainly to read the newest fantasy and sci-fi titles. However, recently I realized that it has a very big collection of (digital) comic books as well!

            While there are some Mangas too, it's mainly western comics. It took some time getting used to the colouring, the larger page-sizes and the generally slightly different pacing and flow, when compared to Manga, but by now I'm throughly enjoying the experience. There is a whole world of comic books to discover! And while I'm not to much interested in classic super hero comics, I'll gladly wolf down an epic fantasy like Monstress (which you should totally check out) any day.

            Way TOO many... Tachiyomi says 976 when updating.

            And that's with moving titles either to finished collection or "on hold"...

              Haha, this reminds me of Sam and Max. Minus the serious part. Sam and Max is anything but serious.

                  Read trough the available chapters of Tougen Oni. A manga about visiting the shrines of powerful ancient kami. While most references to Japanese folklore go way above my head, the characters have a lot of heart and the world building is intriguing enough to keep me well entertained.

                  The Witch and the Beast is an awesome dark fantasy manga. The main character Guideaux is an ardoreable rage-ball, the story is pretty epic and it has great composition and visual storytelling. It's supposed to get an anime adaption soon.

                  Minty If you like Berserk, you might check this out. It has a very similar vibe, although it's more Victorian fantasy and less medival fantasy.

                    I've decided I'm gonna get back to my habit of reading Freezing before bed. It's a darker, edgier take on the "Panty-fighter" trope forged by the likes of Ikkitousen and Queen's Blade. ^~^

                    GlassMoon I've read that manga twice. I love it so much. FKMT is oddly good at both understanding hard-cold logic and the nuance of human emotion. It's usually one or the other.

                      malmon Nope all being read that either have been dropped by the author, scanator or outright forgotten...

                      My list has increased to 1110...... Though as I've finished some of the ones that actually are completely out...

                      Top 5 currently reading is Arcane Sniper, GATE, Mercenary Enrollment, Sengoku Komachi Kurou Tan and Is it odd that I became an adventurer even if I graduated from the witchcraft institute....

                          Biggest_Mike That's impressive! Reminds me I've got a bunch of reading that I've been putting off ^_^' Not manga though.
