Noooo, this couple ought to be making as many kids as possible for their country's future! Let them struggle!

Yay, an update! :o

I rarely follow the links to buy manga but have made an effort to support my very most favorite mangaka. We've run out of room for physical copies, so I've put off much purchasing until we have more room. My priority is nicely done hardcovers and omnibus. My husband buys a fair amount of...

Greyvenn, there's little in common with Black Jack other than the profession and the critique of it, approached in a very different way. I read this a few years ago and think about it a lot. Many in the US want a different health care system, and certainly, it should be improved. But let's...

Thank you, lespookycarrot. I do think the reviews, ratings say more about the readers. Seeing the rating of this consistently under 7 puzzles and saddens me. I try to read things that are popular and often don't understand the trends, can only figure people want things that are easier to...

The author is said to be Riyoko Ikeda. I think this needs an edit. 😅

The discussion of the era and its literature in this states that it is known as the earliest Japanese story. I suspect that the translator had to deal with a word like monogatari, which is like a genre. There are plenty of written stories before monogatari were popular. But this is one early...

I'm really not into this male on male stuff but I really enjoy this. I wish the kids here would stop rating things so lowly if it's yaoi, too "problematic," personal reasons. Even if you hate the topic, even the characters, it's right to consider effort in story and art. This one does both...

So glad it has been uploaded here. Pygmalion is one of my favorites! <3

Correction, type 3 HMG, the rifle is type 38. Not a big deal, just figured it out when looking them up. I often have great fun going down the Wikipedia Rabbit hole reading this manga. ?

I've read the full Seidensticker English translation a couple of times and random parts many as well as lots of commentary. I think this is a good abridged edutainment style version. Maybe this is why the current rating isn't so high. But it's good for what it seems to be aiming for especially...

This reminds me a little of the experiences of myself and friends during our middle school and high school years. I wish I could say that it was just fun and magical but it was more silly, embarrassing and even a painful time. We were the types to learn from reading everything from novels to...

Chapter 60--It's not a metaphor but maybe hyperbole? ?

Maybe it's only in the English speaking world but I feel that this is one of Tezuka's more underrated works. While maybe there are times when the story could flow better, I think it's still a great tale about Japan as it was on the verge of quite a transformation. The story takes place in an...

I've been reading Junji Ito's work since 2001. It's good but admittedly I grew a little tired of it a long time ago. However, this grabbed my attention as he's the illustrator and not the author. His style adds an extra touch of horror to a story based on real events. Perhaps it's not a...

Unlike many career related manga, this one is straight to the point and could be dull for some; I found it to be very interesting. It's simply about a young man in the (it's been a while--mid?) 20th century who lives a largely solitary life, making charcoal. From what I understand, this skill...

Higashimura is very entertaining when speaking of her own life in anecdotes, but this takes it to a different level. I dare to say that this *might* be her best work. Her honesty regarding her own life must have been difficult, but it is what makes it appealing. Despite the less happy parts...
