Amazon too - thx for letting me know!! Also for that price, I’d say just buy one, and see what you think.
I’m not sure I really see the point to buying back-issues of a magazine, if you they don’t have something specific you’re looking for. I’ll probably buy a bunch, b/c I’m interested in the columns in the back, or other stuff of extremely miscellaneous historical value, and perhaps the oneshots.
There is one current series for which backlog would be useful, スピカをつかまえて 1 | L23 , b/c there was an extremely long hiatus, and some chapters haven’t made it to tankoubon yet… but even then, the chapters start in 2022 (ch 6 - 2022年9月, ch 7 - 2022年11月, ch 8 2023年3月, ch 9 2024年7月).
The only current age gap series are サボりなら保健室でどうぞ?(1) | L18 (high school student x school nurse), and the one you mentioned - which I also won’t read. Idk about back in 2018-2021. Well 小春と湊 わたしのパートナーは女の子 | L23 but they’re both adults (and it’s autobiographical)
There’s generally 1-2 oneshots a month, and they vary between good - and “wow that was excellent”. Occasionally they become series outside the magazine. I’ve only been reading since 2024, but I assume this has been consistent. There was also one series in 2024 奈落の花園 that featured extremely young characters, and some really messed up stuff - but that was, but it’s the only one like that afaik (and I also skipped it).
I mean it can’t hurt to post there, but I’m fairly sure I’m the only person who reads it monthly. These are the currently running series I read, plus 私の百合はお仕事です! | L27 - which is returning next month
