Oh my god, there are literally so many releases this month, it was hard to filter and sort everything. Of course, I can’t add everything, so I included what I’ve read and enjoyed or thought would be good. If I left out anything you thought was good, please let me know! It’s impossible to judge a manga by its cover because you just have no idea what’s inside, lol.
