Ikoku Nikki can excel "just" by observing society. Of course, that's only within its reach because it cares about all sorts of people in the first place, because it can give shape to an incredibly diverse craft through their grounded routines, and because its occasional abstraction hits that hard

Aaaaaaaand that's the last major English manga publisher that's now no longer independent!

At this point, the English manga industry is now made up of either "major" publishers that are all owned by bigger corporations (most of which Japanese), or small publishers that are independently owned

I’m so sick of hearing about mangaka being pedophiles & child rapists over and over and over again.
How tf do you “accidentally” hire a child rapist, the concept of one of the biggest publishers in Japan not doing criminal background checks for their employees

Hoping to pick it up soon🫶🫶 ur recs are always appreciated ✨️

Blue Reflection: Second Light was the gay magical girl version of Persona I needed - Gayming Magazine Latonya Pennington reflects on why Blue Reflection: Second Light became the game they needed instead of Atlus' Persona series.

Blue Reflection Second Light took the Persona concept & made it better with an all female cast & gay shit & I am still hoping for a Samurai-Warriors like action RPG sequel. But at least I wrote a good essay on the game 3 years ago gaymingmag.com/2023/03/blue...

Been reading this series & it’s a blast. It’s going to be on the slower end for the romance just how I like it, and the fantasy school setting is ridiculously fun. Love watching these characters from different dimensions w/different powers get tortured by this perverse school.

Knew Ikoku Nikki was going to be good because the source material rules and the staff's good, but goddamn what an amazing first episode. So far brilliant structure to bypass pacing issues, direction that really understands the core of the series, and waaaay better animation than it'll get credit for

This series looks so cute!!!

Finished Lovers on The Last Train & it was so good. It deals with a person navigating his first love at 42 & the loneliness of growing older alone, I love how their love is so sweet & gentle. And they’re so honest with their feelings despite their insecurity, I adore them.
