I initially found this manga as free chapter updates on the Viz Media app and just finished rereading it for a MAL challenge stack. I intend to buy the collection of digital volumes at some point as well, as Moriking is a very light and fun read that I will probably want to revisit sometime.

It's not really story-driven, and in my opinion, it drags a bit at the end so maybe it should have been a little shorter. But all the same, it's goofy and I enjoy the premise ("hello, I am human-bug and I'll be living with you; others will want to fight me, don't worry about it") and the characters a lot.

I never understood this reoccurring thing I'm finding in anime/manga/games from Japan where characters have a hobby of collecting insects and possibly pitting them against each other, as it's apparently just a hobby common among young children?! But my cultural ignorance in this area aside, it really is a short, funny series that has all the "summer vibes" neatly packaged in a few volumes. It's simple running gags for a comedy manga and I'm happy to have found it. No masterpiece, but just... chill, anthropomorphic bugs.
