Thoughts
Entry #10: Sore wa Totsuzen, Unmei no Aite ga (SoM 2018)
Ecch-i. It is the stuff of legends. It produces hordes of fans all across the land for a single purpose: sexual stimulation. Boy, do I LOVE unwarranted, random sexual stimulation with no payoff. Y’know what I like better than that? A setting that invites it without doing anything to the cultural norms which stigmatize the activity. Boy, do I LOVE teenagers who are too scared of sex to actually have sex, instead of behaving like teenagers and having sex. (more…)
Entry #7: Itoshi no Karin (SoM 2018)
I could almost copy/paste the opening (full) paragraph for Inugami-san, read a few weeks back, to this most recent manga title. Itoshi no Karin (not to be confused with Itoshi no Kana… ugh) is a manga that I’m almost certain doesn’t even make the minimum requirement of pages necessary to qualify for the Summer. At twenty chapters (technically twenty-one, but it includes a bonus chapter) with an average of twenty-four pages (give or take), that’s about 480 total pages—the minimum was 500. Seeing as it was so close and the kawaii waifu adorning the cover entranced me, I figured I’d let it slide. Besides, it ended up being almost the exact thing I was looking for to read after super-duper Shounen space adventure. (more…)
Entry #6: Kanata no Astra (SoM 2018)
Was gonna save this for tomorrow, but when you’re hyped on jelly beans and insomnia, you go and make an effort! (more…)
Entry #5: Kakukaku Shikajika (SoM 2018)
I have no idea how long this will be. Upon finishing the story, I figured it may be close to two-thousand words, but as time passes I become more attuned to keeping it straight to the point. I suppose I’ll just write and see where it takes me. (more…)
Entry #4: The Stories of Those Around Me (SoM 2018)
When I said Summer of Manga, I never specified whether or not Manwha counted. The answer to this question, which I only just asked myself about a day ago—halfway through this story—is revealed by the creation of this post. The Summer shall expand to other parts of Asia! (more…)
Entry #2: 3D Kanojo (SoM 2018)
I have a problem. A dilemma. A conundrum. Please spare some time to hear my struggle. (more…)
