Yeah idk, I find 4-koma really hit or miss. If they’re the “whelp I read a page” variety, then I drop them fast. It’s just super misleading of them not to show some of the 4-koma part in the previews
4-koma are very much a “you gotta be in the mood” kind of format, even for someone like me who generally likes the format. For example, this year I’ve only read about 5 volumes, other than my reread of ひとりぼっちの○○生活 | L22 with a book club, because I just haven’t felt like reading them much. Compare that to last year where I read about 30 volumes.
I find that with 4-koma, even more than free-form manga, a lot depends on how much the series clicks with you. Maybe that’s just because so many 4-koma are comedies and humor is so subjective to begin with, or perhaps because they tend to be denser than free-form manga so it takes more effort to read.

I didn’t make my goal last week, but today I finished TWO manga in my currently reading:
NANA―ナナ― 8 | L28
気になってる人が男じゃなかった VOL.2 | L24
I have 7 (
) started manga in my currently reading and want to clear them all out by the end of the month.
I read this book I bought years ago, 세상의 마지막 기차역. It was ass. But hey, I’m done with it now.
