2025/05/21

For years now, we have vented our frustration and disappointment over not getting new manga series as quickly as we would like. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is a perfect example of this phenomenon where an English translation will come 5, 10, or even 15 years after the series has concluded... ಠ﹏ಠ So, to help satiate our appetite while we patiently wait for a physical or digital release, many fans will turn to fan translated versions of the series online. These sites helped to bring many new series over

When building out your manga library, it's important you remember this one piece of advice: nothing is sentimental, so sell it for a profit. What? What, you thought I would give you some uplifting wisdom about how best to collect series or where to spot deals? No no no. Building out your manga collection isn't about enjoying the series you love or anything of the sort. It's about profiting off of series that go out-of-print or are rare to find, forcing those who desperately want to enjoy them to

Everything must come to an end at some point. For manga, it can happen after many years of success or in the blink of a fart. Today, new Shonen series seem to come and go about as quick as a TikTok trend. Whenever you get attached to a new series, BAM, its axed for no good reason. Its hard to get attached to anything in fear of it quickly leaving you to read yet another boring romcom instead. So, the Baka Bois had enough and decided to create their own, new Shonen series!
