OK one more post w/ a SPOILER for "The Bride!" because there's one aspect of the movie that is SO funny to me and I need to put it out there: it's a sequel. "Obviously, Rebecca, it's a sequel to the book, Frankenstein." No. It is a sequel to Young Frankenstein. Christian Bale is playing Peter Boyle.

hm. per internal evidence, the events in #Bokuyaba start in 2020 and continue in 2021

but said internal evidence is only there as a minor plot point, and doesn't mean the author meant for the events to take place in that year. only for a fictional White Day to take place on a fictional Sunday.

yay!

Now that Veil vol 3 by Kotteri is available from @udonentertainment.bsky.social / @mangasplaining.bsky.social extra, Chris wrote up a short history of how we got this manga series out in English & why it’s been tricky to get your hands on the latest volumes…

Also I've come around to the theory that it's very possible that a Shochan no boken book or copy of the Asahi Graph reached Herge between 1923 and 1929 and helped inspire Tintin. The similarities are striking and publications circulated the globe already.

I finished reading Hibari-kun last night. This morning I found this review, and was happy to see that my reading (and I'm not a very good reader, tbh) and what I was taking away from Eguchi's work wasn't off the mark.

yes, it's dated and flawed. so is Woolf (among others).

"Eguchi does not present his heroine as a problem to be solved; instead, the main tension is Kohsaku’s inability to see Hibari on her own terms."

gotta love an anime that provides precise dates

Given the recent news about the Seven Seas Acquisition:

I want to extend my congratulations to @fakku.net for becoming the new #1 Independent Manga Publisher in the United States!🎉🎉🎉

The other Kyara motif that makes it blatantly Icarus-like is the depiction of her as a star that Moegi will orbit around until it burns her. Strikingly delivered through watercolor sequences for both that imagery & (fake) chapters, directed by Yui Kamura (vindicated already) bsky.app/profile/yuyu...

Vraiment, ce tome a été un sacré choc ! 😱

the crazy thing about ODAD is that during a spending frenzy (aka 20% off sale) at Kinokuniya, I thought I had scored a discounted box set!

got home to find I'd purchased Twilight Out Of Focus instead

it’s definitely update time! I’ve got Hibari-kun and Sangatsu vol 4 in hand

We've talked about it a few times in the past, but to reiterate: Omoi uses 100% human translators, letterers, proofreaders, and editors for our exclusive series. We're proud to publish high-quality releases from skilled localization workers

how… rude

“Hello, Rudo (Feral) will be ready for discharge at 3:30pm…”

The fact that this statement was put out the next day, from a Japanese company, makes me hopeful that they saw how hugely negative the sentiment was around AI immediately.

have a low-grade toothache and an appt tomorrow, and it's too distracting to allow me to enjoy the latest Ikoku Nikki or Polar Opposites.

Angsty ninjas it is, then... Miharu kind of looks like he's got a never-ending toothache
