I'm in the same boat. I wanted to try some more mature manga and it seemed to fit. The exaggerated outbursts and super detailed close ups (especially the ones on punpun's uncle) have been highlights for me. I'll continue reading it for sure. The characterization of God is really bizarre and a little creepy, honestly.

Crime and punishment: a falsified romance is a pretty good adaption of crime and punishment, it's a good take on the story and just as dramatic. If i have to be honest i was hoping for maybe a bit of the storyline behind the sisters "husband" and maybe more shit about the "legal concubine" stuff that was in the original book but i think they just decided to say that the "husband" was just some well meaning narcissist, unlike the book. Maybe the author ran out of time or decided to ignore that plot thread.

I was reading the seinen manga adaption of the train man manga, it's pretty cute.

Manga suggestion: All you need is kill
I found it while browsing one of those websites that hosts mangas, i had been browsing under the mature tag, and after spotting i was like "eh, why not?" thinking it would be some throwaway story, not realising that i had found a real classic. It's funny too because i didn't know that the light novel that had been adapted into this manga, was later used as a basis for the fucking movie with Tom cruse, Edge of tomorrow. But no doubt the manga is fucking good.

some stuff I have enjoyed to the point of finish them:
Boys on the Run
The Mermaid Princess's Guilty Meal
Rokudō no Akujo-tachi
Spider-Man / Itsuwari no Aka

That implies paying for a growing footprint of storage, on top of the site's bills. Imagine storing the shitposting record of millions of users spamming slurs and low-quality quips. I don't know what you could possibly use that for.
It's not like someone irl will ever ask you what's your IP or that any company ever checks what is your current IP before dealing with you.

What might be happening on a lot of sites (and in a lot of browsers) is that they might be letting bigger players use data to train their AIs. That's what I heard about a browser like Brave is doing. Though this is illegal in some jurisdictions, in the EU they would have to make it clear what handing over your data involves, what is it used for etc. And normally they disclose advertising interests.

Oh yeah that reminds me I tried to look up Jim Watkins on the Japanese internet and posted about it to someone in DMs so I'll just repost it here:
https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/ジム・ワトキンス
User Reactions and Popularity:

Initially, Jim was popular among users of the Kenmou board (嫌儲板) and other communities opposed to affiliate blogs.
He allocated dedicated servers for active boards like Nandemo Jikkyou J (NanJ) and VIP, which helped him gain support from many 2channel users.
Conversely, users who relied on affiliate blogs as news sources or ran such blogs themselves voiced strong opposition.
Shift in Popularity:

Jim frequently communicated with users on the Kenmou board, sometimes even changing the username field to "I am not Abe" (a political statement criticizing the Abe administration).
However, his reputation declined due to:
Inability to effectively counter 2ch.sc (Hiroyuki's rival site).
Partnership with the Jane Style developer (a widely criticized 2channel browser) to monetize ads.
Monetization changes in Ronin Membership, despite initially gaining popularity for offering free access to past logs.
He occasionally posts humorous comments like "Warota" (an internet slang meaning "LOL" in Japanese), prompting the typical user response: "Nani waroten nen" ("What's so funny?").
Comments:
"This Jim guy is the embodiment of resentment among the lowest of white society. His looks aren't great, and after retiring from the military, he got involved in pornography, leading a rather unimpressive life. This turned him towards white supremacy, and now he's contributed to the rise of terrorist groups like QAnon, causing division in America.
What's more amazing is that if it weren't for both Jim and Hiroyuki, the current division in America might not have happened. These two will go down in history... for all the wrong reasons."
"Isn't he considered 'poor white'? How can we help people in that situation? Maybe job placement programs?"
"This place has become an outdated dump full of society's rejects. Errors like 'Please take this elsewhere' keep popping up, and I can't post properly.
5ch is really done for this time. With stronger measures against defamation, maybe this site should just be shut down.
And to those complaining about not being able to see past logs – if you have that much free time, go to Hello Work (job center) and get a job."
"This is the worst mismanagement ever. It was already declining under Hiroyuki, but this guy has accelerated the decline at an unprecedented rate.
Instead of attracting users by improving the site, he just keeps adding more ads, driving users away even more.
It’s a vicious cycle. This place is a disaster."
"Instead of banning trolls, they boast about their tolerance for gore.
Admins here are seriously out of touch."
"I skimmed through the comments, and yeah, his reputation is pretty bad.
Like someone else said, he has zero willingness to listen to user feedback.
It's doomed."
"There’s a lot of hate against the new American admin, but blindly worshiping Hiroyuki, who also messed up plenty of times, doesn’t make sense either."

https://note.com/mitsuwo_virgil/n/n82c50a14dc3c
"The one who destroyed ASCII art culture on 2ch (5ch).
I wish he were dead."
"I hate this guy too, but he's not solely responsible for the decline of ASCII art.
The rise of smartphones, changes in browser font settings, and the rise of copyright awareness contributed more to its decline."
"I'm the reason Yukkuri became the 5ch mascot.
I sincerely apologize to all Yukkuri fans and MR** Sensei, except for JIM and those lunatics from Anajitsu and Ai boards.
Everything I get obsessed with ends up becoming a joke and decaying afterwards.
It’s like I’ve been cursed with bad luck."
"Is his wife connected to the Korean Peninsula?
Man, both this guy and Hiroyuki are two sides of the same coin... lol"
"Same with NicoNico — why do the admins keep changing the UI when people just come to see the content?
No one asked for these changes."
"He hijacked 2ch, implemented the forced ID feature (ﾜｯﾁｮｲ), and then made it so you have to pay to hide it.
Seriously, Jim is the worst.
Isn’t this criminal behavior?"
"This guy hijacked 2ch, made a bunch of changes, and eventually killed it.
Now, when you access 2ch, you’re forced to go to 5ch.
Most people can’t even post unless they mess with their settings.

Honestly, moving to Open2ch, which was created with the previous admin’s permission, is the best way to use it like before.
Open2ch"

Just a small snippet of what was posted.
Someone also posted an entire time-line of events what happened after Jim Watkin's takeover but it might get confusing with the MTL translation.

I found the Yoshinoya Copypasta that was originally popular on 2channel on 4-ch lol
https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/吉野家コピペ
>Originally, it came from the personal diary of a user with the pen name Shinbaku (新爆), posted on his personal blog on April 7, 2001.
>Due to how easily it could be remixed, it quickly migrated to 2channel (2ch) where it exploded in popularity
Yesterday, I went to the Yoshinoya near my house.
But for some reason, it was insanely crowded. I couldn’t find a seat at all.
When I looked around, I noticed they had a banner hanging that said “150 yen off” or something.
Like… seriously, what is wrong with people? Are you all idiots?
You don’t normally even come to Yoshinoya, and now you show up just because it’s 150 yen cheaper? Give me a break.
It’s 150 yen. Just 150 yen.
There were even families there. A family of four, all going to Yoshinoya. Congratulations, I guess.
And then the dad’s like, “Alright, I’m getting the extra-large!” or something. I couldn’t watch anymore.
I wanted to say, “I’ll give you the 150 yen, just let me have your seat.”
Yoshinoya’s supposed to have more of an intense atmosphere, you know?
Like, you sit across from some stranger at a U-shaped counter, and it wouldn’t be surprising if a fight broke out at any moment.
That kind of “stab or be stabbed” tension is what gives it flavor.
Women and children should stay out of it.
So I finally manage to get a seat, and then the guy next to me says, “I’ll have a large with extra sauce.”
At that point, I just got pissed all over again.
Who even orders extra sauce these days?
And he said it like he was really proud of himself, too.
I wanted to ask him, “Do you really want extra sauce? Or did you just want to say the word?”
I wanted to grill him for like an hour.
I mean seriously, aren’t you just saying it because it sounds cool?
If you ask me — someone who actually knows his way around Yoshinoya — the current trend among regulars is definitely extra green onions.
This is it: a large bowl with extra onions and a raw egg.
That’s what people in the know are ordering.
They add more onions, and cut back on the meat. That’s how it works.
Top it off with a raw egg. That’s the strongest combo.
But if you keep ordering that, there’s a risk the staff will start to remember you. It’s a double-edged sword.
Not something I’d recommend for beginners.
Honestly, you amateurs should just stick with the beef-and-salmon set meal or something.
>According to the thread titled "Yoshinoya Copypasta Guideline" on 2ch, the first time this text was posted to 2channel was:
>Thread Title: "Yoshinoya’s Beef Bowl!" (B-class Gourmet Board)
>URL: http://natto.2ch.net/jfoods/kako/975/975398997.htmlexit
>Post number: 619
>This was just two days after the original diary was posted, on April 9, 2001.
>At that time, the response from other users was extremely cold:
>"You probably worked hard to write that, but it’s not funny at all."
>"Sometimes there are guys who miss the mark so bad it’s just embarrassing."
>Later in the same thread, at post number 645, the exact same text was reposted.
>People responded harshly again, saying:
>"You liked your own post at 619 so much you reposted it? It’s still not funny."
>Given how iconic it later became, it’s pretty interesting to look back at how coldly it was received at first.
>In 2007, during the first season, first episode of the anime "Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei,"
>this text was oddly inserted into part of the opening animation.
>It shows how even now, the Yoshinoya Copypasta has continued to live on in modern subculture, albeit in different forms.
>By 2010, it became rare for the full copypasta to be reposted, and it stopped being something people tried to use for laughs on its own.
>However, certain phrases originating from it — like:
>"Anyway, forget that, listen to this," (often used to start a post that's off-topic)
>or "I want to grill you for a small hour" (小一時間問い詰めたい),
>still appear occasionally as set phrases in Japanese internet speech.
>The roots of those expressions are undeniably from the Yoshinoya Copypasta.

>Keys to drawing - Project 1 - E — Tinted Glass
>Select a jar or bottle made of tinted glass (e.g., a soda or beer bottle). Place it on its side turned at an angle in front of you (about a three-quarter view). Draw it as accurately as you can giving special attention to the shapes you see. Draw major shapes first, then secondary shapes, and include the many reflection-shapes in the glass. If the bottle has a label, draw some of the letter shapes. Use a pencil (HB, B, or 2B) and keep the point sharp. Work primarily in line with some added tone to indicate the lights and darks you see. Try drawing blind at least three or four times. Have two or more restatements. Allow at least twenty minutes for the drawing, but don't be concerned if it takes longer. It only means you are being diligent about finding shapes. Work life-size or larger.
Bottles have interesting reflections. Anyway, I'm going on a trip, so sadly I won't be able to keep posting in the next week
