A manga of smiles has come to an end. It's always nice to see a manga, a 4-koma in particular, come to an end, sad as it may be that there's no more of it. This one certainly has been enjoyable to read.
Check out my fanfiction!Yeah, it's a good one too. Took a break and lost familiarity with most characters, though.

I honestly thought that manga was gonna last forever with how gradual the progress felt like at times. Looks like I'm gonna have to dive back in again.
EDIT:
Kawaiikereba Hentai demo Suki ni Natte Kuremasu ka? - A highschool boy is surrounded by a troupe of beautiful girls who are all curiously possessive of him. After bemoaning his days of having no girlfriend, he comes across a love letter addressed to him. So far, so good.
The love letter in question contains a pair of panties.
Like a bizarre take on Cinderella, he goes to each girl in an attempt to find out which one sent him the underwear so they can finally become a couple. For once though, perhaps it's best that an MC doesn't pry into the affection of his companions... Hidden behind the veneer of each beauty lies a filthy pervert. Not the exciting kind, but the type that would have even hormone-addled teenagers running to the police and sob about their experience as victims of sexual abuse. But hey, would you fall in love with an extreme pervert as long as she's a cutie?

"When I was alive, I was a tender soul. Now, I am tenderloin." -Nanako (Senryuu Shoujo)
I read a bit of that one before, and it's one of those that prefers going by the genre conventions than what would actually be logical for the characters. And yes, sexual abuse is present. Played for comedy, naturally, since it's girl-on-guy.
Gal Tensei: Three gyaru get isekaied and somehow end doing all these classic stuff your regular wish fulfilment protagonist would. For hough with their inability (and unwillingness) read mood, genre blindness and stupidity they will cause headache to lot of people, especially to raising adventurer star "Meteor Noble Weiss" (aka Kinoshita, their former classmate).

And as always, Truck-kun makes an appearance. I wonder how many isekai stories have him making an appearance in the first chapter?
Check out my fanfiction!
There's an isekai released recently that hasn't been typeset yet, called The Ride-On King. It's about Putin who, bored with having ridden everything under the sun including planes, tanks, sharks, and puppies, finds a new lease in life when he's transported to a fantasy world with a fresh collection of animals to saddle up on.
As for how he was transported in the first place, two trucks driven by assassins cut off his means of escape by trapping him between them and a giant monument of himself. A third truck attempts to commit the deed, but he judo flips it. However, the impact of the truck knocks the Putin statue's head off, which tumbles onto Putin and crushes him.

"When I was alive, I was a tender soul. Now, I am tenderloin." -Nanako (Senryuu Shoujo)
A No Celebrities Were Harmed version of one, although there seems to be a bit of Arnold Schwarzenegger mixed in for good measure. There’s even one for that famously cute Russian secretary in the pilot chapter.
Apparently the author finds Putin quite amusing, because another isekai of his has a Putin copy as a villain.

"When I was alive, I was a tender soul. Now, I am tenderloin." -Nanako (Senryuu Shoujo)Heh. Well, that's a refreshing change from Trump I guess.
Radiant volume 9: boy, Tony Valente is good. I'm usually not fond of war-centered arcs, but in terms of pacing, plot developments and intensity, this is really strong. The last scene of the volume with the magical forest no longer protected, Jill (apparently) dead and Myr going berserk is probably the best in the series so far. To makes things even better, volume 10 will come out in only two months. \o/ Also, it seems like this will finally get an English release in September, along with the anime. Nothing but good news (though I'm a bit worried about the anime honestly…)
Still on the topic of French manga, a new one started called Horion, and it is quite interesting. It follows Koza and his friend Valyu, who are trying to enter the rebel city of Landgrave to find Koza's brother. Alas, we already know from the first scene that said brother tried to pass a certain test that either grants you superpowers or kills you − his fate was the latter. Koza and Valyu find people from Landgrave to lead them there and once they are there, decide to pass the same test. Koza dies, but Valyu survives… et gains the power to bring people back to life, apparently.
I'll be following this one closely, because it's definitely one of the strongest French mangas I've read so far. Just not a huge fan of the artstyle, but it's not enough to keep me away.
Marry Grave - When the human realm and demon realm coincided within a single plane of existence, the monsters have seen fit to hunt down every last man to extinction. Nowadays, the land is barren, skeletons are as common as rocks, and what little of humanity remaining are on their last legs even as they desperately fight to survive. And yet, one man traverses the forlorn landscape while lugging a hefty stone coffin to boot, hunting for rare ingredients to cast dark magic that can revive the dead. He may be a buffoon and a simpleton, but he won't stop until he can see his beloved again. After all, the revival spell had proven its effectiveness once before...

"When I was alive, I was a tender soul. Now, I am tenderloin." -Nanako (Senryuu Shoujo)Manuke na FPS Player ga Isekai e Ochita Baai : a player in a first person shooter game falls off the map and into a fantasy world. On the negative side, he can't use magic which gives him a considerable handicap in both everyday life and when going adventuring, as you're obliged to do when trapped in fantasyland. On the plus side, he got to bring over his entire arsenal from the game he was playing. As long as his bullets hold out, he's fine...
The premise is a bog standard isekai, but the execution is better than average. Dude is overpowered but not extremely so and has to work to win his fights. Not having magic does actually matter, with the poor guy unable to even use a bag of holding.
Art is a notch above most isekai manga as well, on the realistic side, there is no harem or other wishfulfilment nonsense and everybody dressess sensibly!
Art is kind of average, it's clearly a game world rather than any kind of realistic world, characters dress about as sensibly as they usually do, and the protagonist is about on an average overpowered level. It's not bad, but not outstanding either.
I dropped it after reading it for while, with intent pick it again if there will nothing better to do, and honestly bit of harem might improve it, girl that girl looking like main heroine is exactly opposite of interesting...
In other hand Ride-on King someone mentioned before is trully glorious. Art is glorious. Protagonist is glorious, and of course Natalia is as glorious as always. Oh and yeh, if you want see sensible fashion on heroines this would be your thing

A cut above? Come on, it's not that edgy.
There aren't really many interesting characters, which is probably the main fault it has. I think it says something when the most interesting character is a walking pantyshot (and not for that reason). The protagonist is probably more bland than usual. The only trait that stands out as an actual trait is that he's heroically protective, which for the genre counts as cookie-cutter personality.
In contrast, both series with smartphones I've read recently have a far more colourful cast, even if both of them are on the sillier side than this.
Check out my fanfiction!Gokoshufudo: Way of the House Husband: The Immortal Tatsu, a legendary yakuza with a fearsome reputation, and with an equally fearsome appearance. Or he formerly was. Now he's just a full-time househusband, doing daily household chores to support his careerwoman wife. Not that he lost his scary face, or lost his yakuza habits, even while doing chores.
Double post to add a couple recommendations:
First: A Yonkoma called High School Inari Tamamo-chan!
Tamamo Fushimi claims to be a transfer student from Kyoto but is, in fact, the inari fox statue in front of the Fushimi Inari shrine. Attracted to school life, she gets permission to take on human form and attend for herself. The catch: she's not particularly good at disguising herself, looks like a Petting Zoo Person, and is completely oblivious to the fact that her schoolmates caught on almost immediately and just pretend to not realize for her benefit.
It's Slice of Life style with gags centered on things like other students leaving offerings for Tamamo in her shoe locker, or Fish out of Temporal Water and the occasional Furry Reminder issues on Tama-chan's part, such as freaking out over buses and escalators in the former and inadvertently starting to run on four legs in the latter.
Second: Elf Yome To Hajimeru Isekai Ryoushu Seikatsu
In Soviet Russia, Isekai comes to you! A medieval kingdom appears alongside a Japanese island so remote it has literally one traffic light. One local, Yuta, saves the half-elf princess Akuseria from a dragon with clever use of silver spray paint, a lighter, and a cosplay sword and wins her loyalty and hand in marriage. After the initial crisis, the plot goes to trying to help the magic kingdom recover itself and determine if it should be counted as part of Japan.
Has there been a Reverse-Isekai like that? Where someone in a medieval fantasy world is transported to modern day japan or wherever, and finds some skill in magic or medieval warrior-ness perfectly translates to make them uber at whatever they do?

Geselchaft Blume? Shit was so fucking edgy it wrapped around into a comedy.
