I've been on a manga reading spree recently, having completed good manga like Helck (2014; Nanao Nanaki), Thermae Romae (2008; Yamazaki Mari) [and its IMO better ongoing spinoff Olympia Kyklos] or Boku dake ga Inai Machi (2012; Sanbe Kei)

Does anyone have some recommendations for something that's...

  1. Plot-driven (Romance is fine, as long as it's not one of those stories that moves at a snail's pace)

  2. At worst mildly horny

  3. Doesn't have awful politics

  4. Isn't half the length of One Piece

and of course

  1. good?

      I actually think the ending stuff is kind of a mess lol. But it'll actually have an ending, which for a popular series is already a blessing, so I cannot complain.

        i like how unsettling some stuff got on the ending as there has been some suggestion on the fucked nature of the dungeon, but i get it, it feels totally diferent when the stakes get as high as they do, like my favourite moment in the later parts of it was actually the big call back they did to the 3 RULES bit because it is just them being dummies in the most endearing way, which for me is the main attraction of the whole series
