I used to listen to CTE, haven't in a while. Saw they had a new single this year. I thought it was awesome. I'm back in.

I have been listening to tons of Queens of the Stone Age, Ren and Black Sabbath over the past year. Excited to get back into Cage the Elephant. Awesome band. Discovering/re-discovering music you love is the best.

Just finished Land of the Lustrous. Need a recommendation for what to read next.

Really enjoyed Land of the Lustrous. Usually I have something on tap for what to read next but nothing I had in mind is really calling to me.

Some of my favorite manga are, Phoenix, Buddha, Dead Dead Demons Dedede Destruction, Tokyo Babylon, Planetes, Steel Ball Run, Tokyo Ghoul (not Re:), Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, Dorohedoro, Maison Ikkoku, Mao, Naoki Urusawa big 4, Death Note, Hunter x Hunter, Drifting Classroom, Children of the Sea, Knights of Sidonia.

I was thinking about Master Keaton but I don't typically love episodic manga...

Any help is appreciated.

Currently reading through all Rumiko works for the first time

So far I've read the following (in this order)

-Maison Ikkoku: First time reading romance/comedy genre. Loved it. So funny. I actually laughed out loud many times. Also, great story. Great characters. Felt like I was reading an awesome sitcom. Such an easy but engaging read with a ton of depth. This is my favorite so far.

-Mermaid Saga: Loved it. I typically don't enjoy episodic manga but this was different. Really cool stories. Easy to re-read. Definitely going to do this with some of my favorite stories.

-Inuyasha: Loved it. Didn't enjoy the 200 or so chapters that felt aimless, not advancing much in the story but man, the highs were so high. I miss following them on their journey through such a cool setting. Fantastic villain. Love how dark it got.

-Mao (caught up): Fantastic so far. I love the plot of this one. Checks a ton of boxes for me. Many times I have said while reading it, "this might be my favorite Rumiko manga". I hope it doesn't go on for too long. Really invested in uncovering the mystery presented.

Just started Ranma 1/2 today. I was debating between Ranma and Rin-ne but ultimately chose Ranma because of it's popularity, often being cited as a favorite by others of her work.

How do others rank her manga?
