I feel so lucky sometimes. This is one of the biggest manga releases to come out this summer. Holy crap, I was able to get a look at this one and it’s beautiful art work. The best part of all of this is the fact I own the anime, so I know the story and … More Fist of the North Star Volume 1: A Thirst of Peace and Vengeance
With this manga comes another exploration into something that I was infinitely curious about. Especially since Yakuza and normal people having relationships with members or former members from those organizations seems to have been on the raise recently. There were some things that I knew about this manga walking into it, but I wasn’t completely … More Yakuza Lover: Volume 1 – A Chance Meeting
Have you ever read something that had an excellent first chapter and then just kind of flat lined in terms of how it executed its story ideas afterwards? Not that it was completely bad, but it was kind of unsubtle about what it was trying to do and it trying to build some kind of … More Call of the Night: Volume 1 – Sexy Vampire Nights
In an attempt to give Junji Ito a fair shot after not liking , I looked at what manga I could read through Viz Media access. This one seemed like an interesting choice to get a good sampling of Ito’s horror ideas and maybe something would click for me. Venus in the Blind Spot is … More Venus in the Blind Spot: Some Interesting Ideas
Compared to the last manga I read for Viz, this one was fantastic. I shouldn’t have expected anything else from Naoki Urasawa, because at least this first volume was almost perfect. Great character work, very good art, and a positive an enthusiastic background, and a great well being for Japan’s response to national disasters. After … More Asadora Volume 1: We Can Rebuild
I write this post knowing that I am a complete newbie when it comes to reading horror manga. Works from Junji Ito and so are not a realm that I have explored before, which is why I jumped at the chance to read one of his works when I have the chance. Especially when it … More Remina: When A Planet Eats Things
What would you do or what price would you pay to become immortal? That’s the question that Rumiko Takahashi’s most experimental and darkest manga sets out to examine and explore.

One question for everyone, how do you follow up the finale of something? You know, like something crazy like Revolutionary Girl Utena. An ending defined by the strongest character plots possible and is infamous? The first answer I have is that you can’t. One could say that even touching anything after a finale can ruin … More Revolutionary Girl Utena: After the Revolution
If there is one mangaka that I want to know about, it’s Naoki Urasawa. I am still not the largest manga reader because I haven’t sold my soul and opened my wallet for tons and tons of manga volumes. The lack of money ad space plays a part here. A thing that is sad considering … More Sneeze: Naoki Urasawa Short Stories
You ever focus or go so hard on something that you get a tunnel vision and blocked out everything else in your life? That’s the story of this manga, Fly Me to the Moon.
