Manga

I continue on my unending quest to keep up with good Oneshots that I see get posted to Mangadex. It means I have to sort through the giant pile of Touhou doujin oneshots that get posted, but I do it for all of you out of love. Some of my favorites from the past week:

• Shishunki ni Rikai no Aru Ane no Hanashi - A silly story about an older sister trying her best to be understanding of her brother as he experiences the trials and tribulations of puberty.
• Futari no Kyori - A single page oneshot that nails the punchline.
• Android wa Bug wo Shiranai - Learning about human emotion through an android.
• Boing Ninja - Like Naruto, but with more boing.
• NSFW Shokujin Shokuyuujou - This isn't the sexy kind of NSFW, this one is a horror oneshot. I am not usually a fan of horror in manga/anime, but I thought this one was well done.

Finally, I will wrap up this post with my weekly shoutout to read Atsumare! Fushigi Kenkyu-bu.

I've been feeling nostalgic the past weeks so I decided to go back and finally give a fair go. I've never read it, but I was really hooked on the anime when I was younger, and felt frustrated when the anime ended when it did.

It's a bit of a dated style, but I'm still liking it so far. Early days, can't wait to get to where I stopped.

Witch Hat Atelier - simple but engaging story, great execution
Pathfinder - nothing really happens. mid.

I reread D-frag, its one of my comfort reads so I read it now and again from beginning to end.

I also read The Bully In-Charge up to chapter 69, its another korean delinquent work in a world where adults dont intervene no matter how bad things get and kids are so vicious they send each other to the hospital in a daily basis. The catch here being that some higher ups at the education foundation decided to hire a 20 year old ex delinquent to go to school as a 16 year old and beat the crap out of the bullies, so he gets to dominate them. I don't think it was trying to do comedy, but it ended up being hilarious in many situations I laughed out loud, it is pretty ridiculous at times. The fights were somewhat good, but near the end it is getting into the typical delinquent manwha territory where gangs and drugs get involved in every high school conflict and also some special bullshit ability is getting introduced, which kind of ruins the "somewhat plausible fiction" element of the fights into straight-up fantasy. (similar to what happens into kuroko no basket to give some reference)
