Hot on the heels of the first volume, pre-orders have opened for the second volume of the Miss Forensics manhua (亲爱的法医小姐, pinyin: qin'ai de fayi xiaojie) adapted from the novel by Jiu Nuan Chun Shen (酒暖春深) with art by Shu Nü Sen Te (鼠女森特). Here are some of the online bookshops you can pre-order from:

• Boku
• Huawen Tianxia
• Jinse
• Xinhua Wenxuan
• Xinshijiao

The web version of the novel can be read here on JJWXC and the web version of the manhua can be read here on Kuaikan Manhua (you may need to open links via the Kuaikan Manhua app).

Some baihe manhua are adaptations of existing works (generally of baihe novels), while others are original. At the time of writing, the latter significantly outnumber the former. It is only fairly recently that some of the most popular novels have been licensed for adaptation as manhua.

The baihe manhua translation scene is noticeably more active than the baihe novel translation scene. Official translations into English are available in some cases, and fan translations are available for most of the major baihe manhua. In the lists of notable works that follow, I will provide links to official translations where these are available, as well as to relevant fan translations (in the case of the latter, where I can be satisfied on a balance of probabilities that they are not machine translations).

I would like to thank Lunaa of Zephyr Scans for her valuable insights into the baihe manhua scene, without which this post could not have been written.
