Wait, an isekai that... justified being an isekai? Surely not! This time we've covered I'm Standing On A Million Lives, and asking ourselves if we have finally, truly found the best isekai ever... or if once again, we're standing on yet another trash manga.

After a trio of Chinese series over the years that have... let's say underwhelmed... we decided enough is enough. And so we turn to the #1 ranked Chinese series according to MAL, from acclaimed author Mo Xiang Tong Xiu, it's Heaven Official's Blessing. Did we finally discover peak, or another worst of the year contender?

Webtoons are back on Trash Manga Friends, as we descend into the depths of L.A.G! No, I don't mean the audio glitches that plagued our last episode, I mean total nonstop action as we fight through chamber after chamber, challenge after challenge, and see if all fighting all the time is truly a winning formula for a series.

It truly was a war of the worlds when we read Secret of the Alien! Our class rep protagonist confesses to the girl he likes, but shock, she's an alien and needs his help with her mission! What could it be? And how on (and beyond) Earth was it so divisive to have Sean and Mike at each other's throats!?

It's a feast for the senses this time around as we partake of The Kajiki Chef: Divine Cusine, a Jump Plus series set in ye olde Tokyo where giant fish swim the skies and chefs look to take 'em down and cook 'em up to make the best eats. And save people from rampaging monsters, I guess. Were we asking for seconds, or trying to get the fishy stank out of our noses?

Fantasy! Anime! Truly, who could've predicted such an unexpected turn of events for our first anime tie-in episode of Year 6. Yes, buried amongst the mountain of sequels, it's New Saga, where our hero manages to rewind the clock at the end of the world to give himself one more chance to set things right. But did we want to rewind time to before we read this?

Okay, that's enough good series, it's back to the trash pits with Hensuki, also known as Are You Willing to Fall in Love with a Pervert, as Long as She's a Cutie? Would this combination of friendship tropes and fetishes blended together into a romcom exceed expectations, or be yet another in a long line of fanservice rubbish?

Another year, another big name series to kick us off, as we dive into the Shadow Realm to read Yu-Gi-Oh! But throw away everything you know about card games on motorcycles and Dark Magician Girls, this is OG, Season 0 Yu-Gi-Oh, where every game is a dance with death. Did we enjoy Yu-Gi-Oh Classic, or were we begging for Duel Monsters to return?
