Looks like certain manga I've been reading have been getting updates again, which is nice, such as Wotaku no Koi wa Muzukashii and Saike Mata Shitemo. Wotakoi is the comical manga about the life of 2 otaku dating each other, and Saike being a more interesting, heavier and sometimes sad manga about people with special abilities, with one boy using his to act as a sort of hero, but his power comes at a great cost. It was one Pokoko recommended and I enjoy it quite a lot. Nice to see that one get an update.

Unevent updates is what makes being a manga fan difficult for me.  I fall behind, lose my place, or forget what's going on and it becomes tough for me to get back into the story.

That's what ultimately killed the Game of Thrones novels for me, too.  It took years for one of them to come out and I forgot all the little details and lesser characters, so I went back and reread the whole series.  Then the next book took years to release and I just wasn't going to do that all over again so I dropped it.

Luckily, works like WotaKoi are easy to jump back into but I admit that I'm out of the loop with Saike Mata Shitemo.  

Yeah, it's even worse when a story seems to stop at a cliffhanger, and you're just left there, wondering what happens next, only to never know....

I guess it depends on the story, but it is pretty annoying with manga that update infrequent.
