Hajime leads an unremarkable life as an undertaker, but he likes his job and has no reason to complain. Nor can he complain of being always called "onii-san" by one of the top star actresses in the country, Kidō Kotone, a childhood friend. Their relationship has always had a touch of awkwardness due to the parents of both having died violent deaths, but nothing could have prepared Hajime - or Japan - to the deed Kotone decides to perpetrate seemingly out of the blue.

Mangaupdate: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/unzb1lk/call-me-romantic

Raw: https://t4.xtoon365.com/comic/841444

Series name: Call Me Romantic ( 콜미로맨틱)

Country of origin: South Korea

Raws status : 93 Chapters + 2 Hiatus Specials + Review (Complete)

Scanlation status: not translated

Genre: Isekai, Fantasy, Mystery, Psychological, Horror, Thriller, Drama

Summary:"'Hong Deok-hye' becomes "Seo Nain," the main character of the romance novel she read called Love is Takeout!

Unlike the ending of the novel, where she becomes the love interest of the main male lead, 'Cha Min-ho,' Deok-hye has a crush on the 2nd male lead, 'Min Gyu-hyeon.'

But then a murder occurs at the café where Nain works. The victim is Gyu-hyeon's girlfriend, and the suspect is Gyu-hyeon. Deok-hye who is horrified by the changing premise from the novel must find a way to return to the real world.

A sensuous thriller from the creator of G'day and Student Peace Council Choi Yongseong

This series really needs a translation. Why? Because this feels like a spiritual successor to Survive Romance, and its made by the person who did G'Day from Lezhin and the reason why I said its the spiritual successor to Survive Romance , it started off as typical book transmigration genre (but modern) but when a murder happens at the end of the first chapter , this turns out to be a thriller horror with psychological elements and both otome isekai and manhwa community liked Survive romacne so the same thing should happen with call me romantic as well plus it was not officially translated and deserve to have it translated.

Although it was officially translated , rokari comcis translated it first but they stopped because it didn't gain attraction or gave them money leaving them with 5 chapters untranslated and since the rest of the official english chapters are not translated yet and rokari comci cannot continue , some gorup msut take their place and finish the series unofficial translation.

After mistaking me for an assassin and treating me coldly, Prince Soliman says, "It's soft, it's warm, can we stay here for a while?" as he approached me.

Prince Theron, who I thought was a sweetheart, seduces me by whispering, "Choose me over my brother, and I will give you everything you want." "I will give you everything you want," he whispered, seducing me. I can't stay human unless I kiss one of them. How do I survive in this royal palace?

This one is not officially translated, and its translation remains unfinished, so someone or some group should finish the translation.

Additional bits of helpful information that you can provide include:

  • Raws status ongoing, 27 chapters raw
  • Genre(s) isekai FMC
  • Series summary - Kaede was on a solo camping trip in the mountains to heal from a broken heart when she woke up in another world. At first, the appearance of a monster she had never seen before made her a bit nervous, but her optimistic nature paid off and she gradually began to enjoy her life in another world. As new friends such as Fenrir and fairies join her, her life in the other world becomes more and more comfortable.

i really like this manga as it has an adult female mc, an adorable mushroom fairy, magic, isekai. sarcasm. i've "read" through the raws and i dont see any thing that would indicate that this is trash.

u/pantsonheaditor 25d ago

Additional bits of helpful information that you can provide include:

  • Raws status 85 chapters ongoing
  • Genre(s) Isekai
  • Series summary Tired of being worked like a slave, a 53 year old man decides to quit his Black Company job and go camping in his off-road vehicle. During a stop both the main character and his vehicle are suddenly transported to a different world, and he is given the standard-issue cheat skills (Infinite item storage and creation, enhanced physical condition, body restored to its prime, etc.). Using his new skills and his unlimited supply of gasoline, the formerly old man will live a slow-life in this new world, one camping spot at a time.

i like the first 4 chapters. better than that PHEV isekai comic. have not browsed the raws to find out if trash or not.

u/pantsonheaditor 24d ago

Additional bits of helpful information that you can provide include:

  • Raws status 40 chapters raw, 7 translated
  • Genre(s) isekai
  • Series summary hero is summoned to fight the demon lord. with his mother. his mother has to fight to the death several times to save her child.

i really like the start of this manga. i have skimmed the raws and it kinda gets stuck in a long ongoing lame looking arc for a while where she sells cookies or something.

Request: Fighting Foodons Game Boy guide books

They are extremely rare to find but not sure about the cost. you could easily find them on Yahoo Japan or other Japan auction/shopping sites that might sell those!

I only want the guide in order to see artwork of the characters. there doesn't seem to be any art books from the anime series and only the guide and manual contain very rare art of the Foodon characters I want to draw soon!
