Weekly Japanese Pop Culture Thread (February 4, 2026)

Welcome to The Avocado’s weekly discussion of Japanese pop culture! Looking for new manga to read this year? Then check out Colleen’s latest video! There are a lot of great series releasing this year, so there is plenty to read. If you prefer to read a list rather than watching a video, Colleen has that too –> LIST!

Personally, I’m most excited for The Credits Roll Into the Sea by John Tarachine. This has been on my radar for a while, so I was thrilled to hear about the English publication. Originally published in Mystery Bonita, this slice-of-life series centers on an older woman who wants to follow her passion after her husband dies, so she decides to go to college to study filmmaking. I’m really looking forward to reading it when it arrives!

And, as always…

What have you been watching/reading/playing/eating/listening to lately?

Happy Wednesday! 🍙
