Any advice before I dive headfirst into another spiral of madness? Dorohedoro feels like the most original manga I’ve ever read—easily one of my top ten favorites. But do you ever get that feeling that the next work just won’t hit you as hard? I’d love to know what Dai Dark does particularly well.
These past few days, I've been unwell and have been reminded of how bad I feel about myself. Disappointed by my poor decisions and the unease I feel when things don't go my way. People don't treat me well anymore; I try to be better, but I can't take it anymore.
When I read Inio Asano, I'm not looking for a depressing theme to "have an experience" for fun or a topic from which to draw some moral lesson. Rather, I observe these last six years and think that the world around us has become so attached to the tragic stories of this author we love so much that some attitudes have become indistinguishable.
Rereading Asano has become a thorough analysis of our daily lives, all contained in a small book with beautiful yet tragic art. My native language isn't English, and I may not have elaborated as much as I'd like. I also don't know how many people will read this, but if even one person does (even if they don't reply), I'll already feel somewhat relieved. Not because I needed to vent, but because it has significantly changed my perspective on delving deeper into Asano's unique works.
The attached photo is because I found "What a Wonderful World!" after it had been out of print in my language for a couple of years, and I was told that Mujina was about to embark on a different creative process, so I'm delighted to follow her closely.
Thank you very much for your attention...
Just finished reading the first (and only) volume of "Cyberpunk Edgerunners: Madness," and it's exactly what I was looking for to fill the void left by both the anime and the CD Projekt Red game. I think the manga world can work quite well to tell us about the past of the characters we know, as well as details of their "present" during the events of the series, which could also be applied to the new cast in S2.
How is it possible that no more episodes have been released since 2024? I mean, they only made six chapters that are a real page-turner and burst with energy; they arrived like an oasis, and suddenly it hasn't been resumed. Is there any official explanation for the hiatus? I devour a lot of manga, but this one really made me stop and look at each panel, observing the anatomy of each character and the backgrounds (also because I'm trying to get back into drawing).
I pre-ordered it at the beginning of the year. They assured me that, due to so many trade conflicts, it could take until Christmas 2026, but it finally arrived unexpectedly (I've checked the figure; it's perfect, but to keep it dust-free, I'm leaving it in the box until I get a display case).
I'm not much of a figure collector, especially with the prices of recent years... but since I hadn't had the opportunity before, and now P&S has a better reputation, it's easier to find original products at a good price. Why did I choose she? It's simply my favorite boat.
A few months ago, when "The Sopranos" ended, I was left wanting a crime series, but I did want something that wasn't recent. That's when I saw the character of Lucas Hood in a advertising poster and one trailer, superbly portrayed by Antony Starr. I was amazed at how well everything flowed; the dialogue had more weight than in other series, there were some killer lines that stuck with me, and other quieter, humorous dialogues that helped stem the tide of tension.
Honestly, it's been years since I've been hooked on a series so quickly. The pilot episode is the best I've seen in years; it perfectly encapsulates the tone and the most striking approach, on par with a bigger production like Jason Bourne.
I started the second season, and I'm not going to stop until I finish it. I can literally understand Hood and Anastasia's bad decisions; the consequences were inevitable (at several points I was yelling at the screen, "I knew it! You shouldn't have done that!"). Hood had a pretty rough time, but Anastasia is also getting her share of karma for leaving her boyfriend behind. The supporting cast complements them so fantastically, and it's hard not to get attached to them all. If any of them die in the future, I think I'm going to be devastated.
