Wanted to rec some other fantasy manga i've been reading.
Here are the one i recommended last time being, dungeon meshi, witch hat atelier and Soara and the monsters house. (with a special shout outs to soara since that one caught me off guard with how good it is)
And now i want to rec some other fantasy manga that im caught up with:
Mamayuyu -
A battle manga about a young man who was adopted by the demon lord "mamama" who lives in a world where monsters and demons live in harmony with eachother, before heroes and demon lords from other worlds start invading his world. Alot of the story so far is focused on him trying to find the meaning in being a hero in a peaceful world.
Its currently ongoing and weekly, however since its in jump its also has a high likelihood of getting axed, so at least keep an eye on this one.
Erio and the electric doll -
A girl love and adventure story about a girl and an electric doll going on an adventure so that the doll can experience the outside world.
Its currently ongoing and monthly, though it appears to be in somewhat of a hiatus.
Frieren at the funeral -
An adventure story about an elf and her party coming home after the defeat of the demon king after a 10 year long adventure. Most of the story so far is about the elf grappling with the passage of time and making the most of it. With the central plot being her going on another adventure with the apprentices of her former party and dealing with the remnants of the demon kings army.
Its currently ongoing and has an anime adaptation.
The girl from the other side
A manga about a girl and a beast named "teacher" living together in the middle of a forest. i would say more but this one is one better read blind.
the manga is currently finished and has a anime adaptation.
Mashle -
A gag and battle manga that stars a boy with no magic in a magical world enrolling in a magical academy and having to conceal his identity from others. Its like harry potter but well written and not made by a transphobe.
The manga is currently finished and has an anime adaptation

Wassail - A Holiday Drink to Good Health
Wassail has a long history in Europe and winter holiday celebration. It was a drink commonly made and served at celebrations and feasts. To ale, crab apples and assorted spices would be added and allowed to steep. This drink would be heated and served in a large bowl so others could fill their cup.
Every house hold made their Wassail a little different. Partly due to what was available, and partly due to personal tastes. But despite being drastically different, Wassail may be the grandparent of Eggnog. Just another case of people getting access to better ingredients and culinary knowledge.
But Wassail is still drank to this day, though it's fallen a little out of the main stream. Each person makes it their own way still, but now it's more like an apple cider. You can make your own for the season, too. The word Wassail means "To Good Health" and is what people would often say it as part of the toast; which is how the name came. So when you make your Wassail, try to imagine the people partaking having another year of good health and prosperity.
Making Wassail
I make mine in an Electric Cauldron (Slow Cooker) but you can make yours on stove stop too. This recipe focuses mainly on Apples (Longevity, Luck, Rebirth) Oranges (Solar Energy, Happiness, Health) and Cloves (Protection, Kinship, Prosperity).
Need:
-1 Gallon Apple Cider
-1/2 cup Orange juice
-1/2 cup Brown Sugar
-1 Orange
-Whole Cloves
-1-2 Apples, diced
-1 Tbsp All spice
-1 Tbsp Ginger
-2 Tbsp Nutmeg
-3 Cinnamon sticks
-1 Apple Sliced Widthwise (Optional)
-1/2 cup Spiced Rum (Optional)
Combine everything into your crock pot/slow cooker, except orange, cloves, and sliced apple. Cover and let simmer on med/low for about an hour.
After some time has passed, retrieve the whole spices. You can let them simmer for longer for more intense flavour, but be aware if they are left for too long, the whole spices can leave a bitter taste.
Slice the orange into wheels. Stick the cloves into the fruit. Have some fun and arrange the cloves to look like symbols important to you. Spirals (a symbol of life) are commonly done. But you can do your initial, your zodiac sign, a sigil you made, or just poke them in randomly.
Place the Orange wheels with cloves on top of the Wassail. If you want some additional variety, you can add some apple slices. When you slice into an apple, it naturally leaves a star shape. This star shape can add a lot of spiritual energy to your Wassail. If you are worried about seeds but still want the star, try cutting out the middle with a small star shaped cookie cutter.
Continue to let your Wassail simmer on low until hot and people are ready to drink.
Tip: You may want to consider keeping the alcohol separate and just add right before serving. This way you can leave it out for anyone who may not want it.
And feel free to experiment! Check out your cupboard and see what kinds of whole spices you've been holding onto. I honestly do it a little different each year. The warm winter spices are your best bet. All spice, Star Anise; I might try throwing in some left over pumpkin spice this year. Do what feels right and hope it tastes half way decent :P

Rotom Constanze
Seems that while working with unusual motors in her gadgets, Constanze had gotten herself turned into a small Rotom by a magic mishap. Being a ghost of pure plasma's going to make building and repairing things a lot more difficult, but maybe she could possess one of her Stanbots...
