A nephew I hadn't heard from in ages reached out today for career & university advice, self-conscious about his knowledge gap but hinting that he knew lots about other stuff.
I prompted, & he ended up gushing about all his latest interests--with the certitude of youth, of course (an "expert" at workouts!)--but that's not the point. I love listening to all my nephews' passions.
So... I guess I'm now going to read 450 chapters of his 2 favourite online mangas to stay current again. 😂
Two online serials:
Legend of the Northern Blade

and
Martial Peak (for which he seems to have forgotten a digit; it's at 3345 chapters: oof!)
https://martialpeak.net/manga/martial-peak-chapter-1/
The cutest part was when he suggested that I might not like them because they had "lots of pictures". I think he has this idea of story writers only enjoying words, but good grief, our generation INVENTED the online serial graphic novel. 😂
Oh, the Yutes and their ideas.
@MLClark I'll check them out and let my kiddo know. He's big on mangas
We use the viz media app for reading them too. Worth the subscription fee vs having to buy them for him in paper form
Hey, neat! Hope there's something there that resonates with a fellow kipper. Great call on the investment, by the way.
It seems that you are a very good and attentive aunt! 😃🙏🏻
As much as one can be from thousands of miles away - but thank you, LSWellesley. Hope you have a fine and restful day ahead. 💫
You, too! I greatly enjoy these pleasant exchanges we have! 😃🙏🏻
@MLClark Have you been recruited to play Fortnite yet?
I've played Minecraft with both sets of my nephews over the years. :) This is one is far too studious, so it's all manga and rock music and working out. 😅
@MLClark An excellent combo!
I never could get into Minecraft, but luckily Pokémon is cross-generational 🤓
@MLClark which two mangas?
