vols 1-16

2 21st Century Boys

21st Century Boys

3 A Girl on the Shore

A Girl on the Shore

complete (omnibus 1)

started reading it and the small-town atmosphere is what Asano did best in it

Ai no Kusabi: the Space Between (Light Novel)

I would love to get my hands on all 6 of the out-of-print vols but they're sold at eye-watering collectible prices. I want to read it so badly!

9 Akira

Akira

vols 1,2

I haven't read this because I'm a terrible person

10 Bakuman.

Bakuman.

vols 1-5

started reading it and the sexism is too repulsive to continue. I mean on the part of the authors, not the characters. I'll get over it someday

12 Barefoot Gen

13 Berserk

14 Black Jack

Black Jack

vols 1-3

at the end of a US trip I thought 'I should check out manga over here' on a whim, so I found this place called the Anime Pavilion on our way out of Washington, went in not knowing what to expect, and the guys there turned out to be the friendliest, most helpful bunch! now I have a fond memory of meeting 'my people' on holiday

15 Dororo

Dororo

this was way better than I expected. THEMES, fucking THEMES

17 BLAME!

BLAME!

vols 1-6

18 Blue Morning

Blue Morning

vols 1-7

this starts out promisingly with a Dangerous Liaisons sort of vibe but then gets repetitive and I don't like when a piece of information is deliberately withheld for too long from the reader, in a transparent and irritating attempt to create suspence

19 Cells at Work!

I have this in both English and French because I am a muppet who didn't check the list I made in order to avoid this exact scenario

41 Dream Fossil: The Complete Stories of Satoshi Kon

typical early Satoshi Kon stuff about dreams and perception. I think this was collected and published posthumously; there's an interview with Susumu Hirasawa :D

borrowed it from my brother and now I love this so freaking much! the face expressions, the pickles he must find a way out of

46 I Am a Hero

I Am a Hero

omnibus 1-7

this moves at a snail pace and I love it. detailed panels upon detailed panels of someone's face or a landscape, as if the images are snapped in quick succession or as if you're blinking. sadly I cannot read this on public transport or at work

47 Ikigami: The Ultimate Limit

Ikigami: The Ultimate Limit

vols 1-3

48 Imperfect Girl

Imperfect Girl

vols 1-3

it's an easy to read mystery so far but I hope it doesn't turn into a 'raise your very own loli' type of thing

49 In Clothes Called Fat

not bad at all, wish it were longer
