I’m not sure what it says about me, but I would like to check out all of these titles.😅 I have read Junji Ito’s version of No Longer Human and I had no idea that there was another manga adaptation of it! I’ll get into that later on in my comment, which be forewarned, is probably going to be lengthy even by my standards.😂 All three of these I wouldn’t say I would particularly enjoy reading, but I would absolutely put myself through them for the experience. Not all stories are happy. Life is not always happy. There’s a lyric in a Broken Bells song that has really resonated and stuck with me ever since I first heard it, "there’s no shortcut to a dream, it's all blood and sweat and life is what you manage in between." These stories are important. There’s a whole swath of human experiences that are devastating and very real. Ignoring them or pretending like they don’t happen or don’t exist does no good to anyone. Fiction is an excellent medium to explore the sadder and upsetting aspects of life. It may break your heart and leave you feeling empty inside, but ultimately it’s easier to recover from than when those things happen in real life. These stories can also act as an emotional sign post to help us deal with and guide us through the terrible things that we all will inevitably have to face at one point or another. Anyone whose ever dealt with any kind of depression will know that there's a sort of comfort in reading or listening to sad things. It's a comradery of sort. We're not alone, other people have been there before and there's a way out, even if we can't see it. These stories can help us find the strength and vision to navigate our way out. Unfortunately it's a bit of a double edged sword as they can also tip the despairing off the knife's edge into the chasm that depression can often feel like. But it takes a spectrum to create light, each one important in its own way as the next! Without one aspect there is no color, there is no warmth, there is no life! They are also thought provoking. They make us face uncomfortable truths and harsh realities They encourage empathy and demonstrate how actions can affect consequences. Mindfulness and awareness are things that should always be encouraged. I kinda wish I would have skipped the spoilers for I Want to Eat Your Pancreas because I am absolutely going to pick it up at some point and read! However, I don't think you said anything that I couldn't discern from the title and the synopsis. I don't want to go too much into detail because I don't want this comment turning into a pity party, but I have had similar experiences. However, I do feel the need to give a little context to one of the events that this story reminded me of… In the fall of 2011 my Grandma on my Mom's side was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. She lived in the NYC area which is about 6 hours from where my family lives. My Mom had driven up there as soon as my Grandma had started complaining about being sick to get her to go see a doctor, (Stubbornness runs rampant in my family😅) and once she was diagnosed, my Mom decided to stay up there. Months went by and then around midway through December my Mom called us up and told us that if we wanted to see our Grandmother again, now was the time. I was working a job at the time where when I told them about the situation they agreed to give me however much time I needed off to go see her, my sister was on Christmas break in college, and my Dad had a fair amount of PTO and an understanding boss as well. So the three of us headed up there to say our goodbyes. When we got there, (she had been in home hospice care for awhile already) she was barely responsive. But she was a tough old woman and she held on for another two weeks before finally passing. For those two weeks though it was a struggle watching her suffer. I remember how labored each breath was, one raspy, desperate gasp followed by an unnerving pause that made you wonder if that was the last one, only for the battle to resume one, two, three, five, seven seconds later. An eternity between breaths. She had one brief lucid moment where I came into the room and everyone was gathered around her. She was sitting up and smiling and I remember her saying, Mikey! It's so good to see you! Then less than 20 minutes later she was slumped back in her bed, struggling against the inevitable. At that point, my job saw me working a 5 p.m. to roughly 5 a.m. shift, so I was on a nocturnal schedule, and I spent the nights sat by her side talking to her, rubbing her back and doing whatever I thought could make her comfortable while everyone else slept. When she did pass, I remember going through a gamut of conflicting emotions. Sorrow, loss, relief… I know that sounds horrible, but so is seeing someone you love slowly dying for two weeks straight! On one of those nights while I was sitting alone feeling introspective, I picked up my notebook that I took with me every where back then and started to write. I don't know what I would call what I wrote. It wasn't a story nor was it a poem, it was just my thoughts kinda laid out onto the page. It really helped me deal with some of what I was going through and I think it helped my family too. Whenever I know someone is going through a particularly hard time or grieving I like to show them what I wrote and I think for the most part that it has helped. If you read all of this and reply, let me know if you would like me to post it either as a separate comment or as a reply to this one. I'd be happy to, especially if it can help someone out who might be going through similar struggles. Ok, on to No Longer Human… I totally agree with you about Yozo. He is a despicable human being throughout the story. I did feel a little sorry for him at times, especially early on. In Junji Ito's adaptation, he is also r*ped several times as a young boy, and also has a broken home life with a seemingly absentee mother and abusive father. You can see the foundations of the monster he becomes early in life. That being said, it still does not excuse his behavior. He utterly destroys every woman he meets and is directly responsible for the deaths of at least half a dozen people. He shows guilt and a deep self loathing that felt somewhat reminiscent of Dostoyevsky’s, Crime and Punishment. Like he felt himself so unworthy of anything positive that he constantly dove head first into self-destructive behavior and was determined, perhaps unconsciously to drag everyone around him down with him. I also got the sense that the story was told with his perspective being that of an unreliable narrator. For example, the scene with his wife and his editor is different in Ito's version. In that one, she sleeps with him to try and get Suzo's manga published. She feels like she has no choice and Suzo and his shitty friend see it through the window but let it happen. Suzo says that he deserves it because he's a piece of shit and also has been sleeping around with whoever he feels like, but is unable to forgive her. This is where I started to question whether the incident even happened at all because 1) Suzo was heavily intoxicated at all times at that point in the story and full of self loathing and suspicion, and 2) his wife was so dedicated to him it just felt so out of character for her to entertain the idea of sleeping with another man ever! I thought it was possible that he fabricated it as a way to feed his narcissistic ego by framing his wife as willing to sacrifice anything for him and as a way to justify his own abhorrent behavior. It is also possible that the other manga version is what happened, but he interpreted it as her cheating on him so that he could blame her and give himself a reason to justify the abhorrent things he was doing. It was definitely an interesting read, and like I said in another comment I left when I was reading it, you could teach a college level course on the psychology and reasons for the events chronicled within. If you ever want to read all three versions to compare and analyze them, I'll take that ride with you! I'm definitely going to read the last one as well! I did skip the spoilers for that one so I don't have anything to say about it. There's a good possibility that I'll come back to this video and leave another really long comment after I read it though!🤣 If you or anyone else takes the time to read through all of this, thank you so much for humoring me!😅 And remember, no matter how dark the night there's still a multitude of stars waiting behind the clouds to light your path once more!

I think this was a fair explanation of the whole con experience lol. It was for sure overwhelming in the artist alley and exhibit areas at times, and I also was so confused by the lack of seating in that particular food court area 😂 Oh and I didn’t make it to that other room of tables you mentioned either but my sister did, it was essentially a bunch of video game setups (probably like DDR, Smash, etc) and tabletop/board games you could play as well. That used to be combined in the exhibit hall area towards the back or right if I remember correctly so it was a good move to get its own space this year. I feel like most other mangatubers only ever talk about AnimeExpo so I’m glad you went to ANYC and shared your experience! Both the good and less-good lol. I have to 100% agree again that the Yen booth was my favorite to buy manga at. I didn’t realize Seven Seas had a discount Sunday, I kind of skipped over their section once I saw it was all for retail price. It was their first time at ANYC I think, so maybe next year we can see a bit more of a fun experience from them too.

I have never gone to a convention for many of the same reasons as you mentioned. I hate crowds... there's just something about being surrounded by people that just agitates the hell out of me. I suppose being surrounded by like minded people with the same interests makes it much more tolerable, but there's just some magic switch that flips when you get enough people together in one place where people stop being individuals and become this monstrous mass.😅 I like individuals and I like individually and I like my personal space and all of that flies out the window in crowds. There was actually a much smaller convention where I live that same weekend that one of my friends has helped organize for years. I usually have to work the days that they have it, but this year I had Saturday off. I felt like I should have gone to support him, but I work in a busy grocery store and the week leading up to it was the first week of classes in the college town that I live in, and it was absolute hell! 20,000 kids and their parents all arriving on the same weekend and shopping at the same place... I was physically and mentally exhausted! I didn't answer my phone, I didn't leave my house, I barely left my living room!🤣 I'm also not a huge fan of paying a lot of money for the privilege of spending more money either.😂 All that being said, I do think it would be neat to check out a Worldcon(the major scifi convention) one year. I don't know how easy it is to attend... I know you can't just buy a badge. You have to buy a membership and I'm not sure what all that entails, but the biggest names in scifi regularly attend it! Also they give out the Hugo for best scifi there as well, so I think it would be cool to experience! I was also desperate to go to Dragonsteel Nexus this year, but badges sold out in under an hour!😞 It's Brandon Sanderson's own convention, and this year it's basically the release party for Stormlight 5. The Stormlight Archive might be my favorite book series full stop! I absolutely adore it! The four that are out are all over 1,000 pages, but I binged them back to back in a little over a month's time! My entire leg sleeve is dedicated to it! So not only did I want to go for the upcoming book, but I also wanted to show off my tattoos to people who would understand the reference! I get stopped and complimented on it all the time, but no one ever knows what they're referencing! I've spent around 100 hours in the chair, well over $10,000, and experienced some of the most intense pain in my life to have this book series permanently honored in my skin! I have to be pretty high up there in terms of fandom! grumble, grumble, grumble😡🤣 One of my coworkers suggested that I send Sanderson pictures of my tattoos and be like look at this beautiful artwork... can I please buy a ticket?!🤣 I was genuinely distraught when I found out, but ultimately it's not a big thing at all. First world problems... like I mentioned earlier, I don't get to pay a bunch of money to then spend a bunch more money!🤣 Not the end of the world by any means!😂
@MizzMangaChatz4 күн бұрын
Exactly 😂 though maybe consider checking one out sometime, a smaller one and when your social battery permits it of course! It’s an experience to have once in a blue moon at least 😁 Wow didn’t know they had scifi conventions that’s pretty cool! They have so many interesting conventions out there! You totally should take a video of your leg and send that to Sanderson!! Omg you’re totally his number one fan you never know maybe he’d send a badge for that level of dedication (or he’ll never even see it…but hey you never know if you never take the chance! 🤣) I’d be honored if anyone cared about a story I created enough to permanently have it etched onto their body at least, but wow that’s a lot of 💰💰 another reason I don’t have tons more tattoos oof 😅

@@MizzMangaChatz haha yeah, tattoos can definitely get a bit pricey!😅 It's a pretty long term investment though, so if you can find a high quality artist who's good at a style that you like, the price is totally worth it imo! I lucked out in that regard! My artist is Sarah Miller! She's in the top tier of tattoo artist without a doubt! There aren't too many that can do color realism like she can! She's also super into geek/nerd culture! She's actually the one who introduced me to Stormlight while we were working on my arm sleeve! If you like to see incredible tattoos, I highly recommend checking out her work! She doesn't post too often to Instagram(she insists that she takes bad pictures which is patently untrue) but most of what she does post is amazing! She has a picture and a short video she took after one of our sessions about a year ago that's still one of her most recent posts!😂 (it's the one where she talks about illustrating a book series in the description. I don't really know how Insta works or how to better single it out on her page without embedding a link which feels like a kinda shady thing to do in the KZbin comments😅) I know Sarah really wants Brandon to see it as well! She's holding off posting a full gallery of my leg and hashtaging the hell out of it until it's completely done, which should be before the convention. But yeah, it certainly wouldn't hurt to try to show it to him earlier! Regardless, I soothed the ache of not being able to buy a badge by booking a two week trip to Peru to hike to Matchu Picchu in October instead!🤣 So as of right now, I missed out on going to what probably will be an amazing convention, but in doing so, spurred myself into taking a trip of a lifetime!

As well as a few you mentioned from your last haul video! Every one of those Scifi manga that you showcased in that video really piqued my interest, and I ended up getting most of them!😅 I might not get through Tsugumi Project before you do that review video, but most of the rest of them I'll have read! I just started King in Limbo which is the last one I wanted to read before Tsugumi Project, so there's a chance that I'll get through all of the manga I wanted to before that video drops!🤞I'm definetaly looking forward to hearing your thoughts on all of them! The one that caught my attention the most from this haul was The Tree of Death! Although it's kinda wierd... two of the last three manga I've read heavily revolve around plants!😄 If I end up reading that one (I probably will lol) that will be the third one! I guess that isn't all that strange in itself, but feels weird that I've come across wildly different manga in tone and story that all have a plant or plants as a focal point in quick succession!😂 I am curious about it only being three volumes though. Is the first volume a fairly decent size? Length by no means signifies quality, there are some excellent one shots out there! They were designed from the start to be short though, and I feel like a lot of manga that ends up being serialized is designed to be longer. From the publisher's perspective and probably the mangaka's as well, it's probably seen as a good thing if a series can keep on churning out the volumes, if for no other reason than it brings in more revenue. It looks like the magaka has done several one shots including his first published maga though, so maybe he just likes writing shorter stories? Some people have a certain story they want to tell and protracting it lessens the experience. Maybe that's the case here! It was too long for a one shot, but not long enough for more than a few volumes, and the mangaka didn't want to cheapen his vision with unnecessary fluff? Hopefully that's the case and not that it ended up getting cut short for whatever reason! One can only hope!😂🤞Either way, it absolutely sounds like something I would enjoy! Super intriguing cover✔ dark fantasy✔ cool concept ✔ Plenty of potential in my mind and at three volumes, even in the unlikely event that I end up disliking it, I can't really be that upset for spending money on it.

I started to read Princess Jellyfish after watching the anime because I really like Kuranosuke but I have many of the same issues with it. I think I read 5 or 6 omnibus volumes and it's been so long since I last read it and aren't sure if I'll ever finish it. Some spoilers I guess next, but on top of your issues with it I really didn't like the starting love triangle and from what I hear the ending is left quite open so I just don't have any drive to finish reading it. It's really a shame as I wanted to like it more than I did. The anime is better but the issues with some of the characters are there so that's that.

One Piece will forever have a special place in my heart, both from a nostalgia factor, of seeing it at a young age on TV, and the emotional factor, of how it made me feel emotionally connected to the characters. Also, I think its really fun that we all still dont know the ending, and finding out at the same time as everyone else has an appeal to it. For a lot of people getting into it now, a lot of spoilers are out there and its really hard with how popular it is not to see those. There are repetitive moments for sure, it follows some of the shonen formula also, but I also think it tries to break out of that mold and work through really complex societal issues. I hope someday you give it a chance 👍. Speaking of long series... I also need to read Bleach 😂

That’s how I feel about one piece. But I still want to read it since I feel like I need to read the big three. I’m a Naruto fan but I feel like I should give Bleach and One Piece a chance.

I grew up watching One Piece but i had never the desire to read the manga, until the anime became worse (imo) and then i started to read the manga instead. Not from the beginning but the current arc and i've been reading OP, instead of watching it, ever since. I tried to read it from the beginning but i didn't really like it, so i'll just keep reading the newest chapters ^^

That first one sounds like the most soap opera/telenovela thing I can imagine!🤣 I love a good mystery or revenge tale, but I'm not a huge fan of drama just for the sake of drama. I can understand the appeal I guess, it's just not for me. I absolutely get the One Piece argument as well! I was in college when it first started airing over here. At that point in my life I was't really paying attention to anime, and was largely unaware of manga in general. (Anime was certainly not a popular thing back then, and my friends would have teased me to no end if they knew I was into it, so unfortunately it fell to the wayside😞) It wasn't until eight or nine years ago when I stumbled across Elfen Lied for the first time, and remembered how much I used to like anime that I went searching for others that I had missed out on in the interim years. I still didn't immediately find out about One Piece, but the more I got back into anime, the more I heard it mentioned. When I finally did decide to see what it was all about, it had ballooned far beyond the amount of time and money I was willing to dedicate to it! The episode and chapter count is downright intimidating!😱😂 I'm sure it's excellent, but I feel like I'd have to dedicate the next year or years almost exclusively to it to catch up! It's just too big, and yeah I struggle to see how it could avoid gettinga repetitive! Who knows though? Maybe that's an entirely baseless assumption, and it's the single greatest work in manga history!🤷♂️ For better or worse I may never know.😂 I've lucked out so far, and haven't run into any series that I've had to dnf so far. Part of that is due to some of the excellent recommendations I've found on this channel! Although it probably has just as much to do with the fact that I'm still fairly new to collecting manga and still have so much of a library of proven excellent titles still to get through that I haven't had to take any chances on unknown titles.😅 When it comes to novels I almost always finish them even if I dislike them. Novels, for the most part, are far less of an investment than manga though so the necessity to cut ties doesn't feel as pressing. One book or a trilogy is much easier to stomach than a 30 plus volume series!😂 Trinity by Leon Uris is the only book I've ever not finished. I tried to read it twice and both times made it about 2/3 of the way through before I gave up. I don't really know why. It wasn't terrible by any means, I just lost interest. Also, excellent attempt with the prononciations!👏 I have no idea how close you were, but A for the effort! I seriouly doubt I could have done any better!🤣 And if you wanted to take the time to edit together a vlog like video of the Nyc anime con, I for one would be interested in watching it! I've mentioned how much I like your travel videos, and whereas maybe not quite the same level or scope as a couple of weeks in Iceland or Japan, I'm sure you saw tons of neat things there!

Yeah definitely the most soap opera type series of manga 🤣 I get it not being for you and even though I was intrigued it was not for me either lol Oh yeah it’s just so daunting and that’s my main issue with getting back into it, but I was persuaded to check out Gintama (though it has since ended it hasn’t when I got into it and that took a long investment of my time 😅)! I’ve started DNFing novels more often but I used to read the entire book even if I wasn’t enjoying it, but I’ve decided my time is precious and there is so much good stuff to read out there why bother wasting my time lol I will definitely try to share my experience at the NYC anime con! I did take some footage while there though not that much it was so hectic I’d keep forgetting lol 😂

One Piece is what made me love anime/manga, and I'll always put it at the top of my pedestal. But yeah, I can't recommend it unless you actually do enjoy super long stories! It's very valid not to read it for that reason. They always say it's about the journey, not the destination. I don't think this is true unless it applies to really REALLY long stories. I'm saying this as someone who is also a fan of Stormlight Archive and Wheel of Time. It's enjoyable to see the story progress over the years. It's the greatest pirate adventure ever! It has to be long! I don't think it's that repetitive, compared to other shonen. It probably is but it hides it really well with amped up fights and plot twists/reveals every story arc. It really does just get better and better. Would I recommend it still after it finishes? Honestly, I'm not even sure. Final chapter spoilers would be crazy hard to avoid. And the best thing about OP right now is that we still don't know what the One Piece is. I don't have a clue. The mystery is so fun. But I'm glad you're able to still see the best parts of One Piece for what it is. The characters and writing is so great. And the first story arc is also one that I hold close to my heart! Anyway, two manga that I DNF. Horimiya and Bloom Into You. Both for the same reason, I just found them both boring. I've read said morally questionable manga (you know which lol), but I draw the line at manga that put me to sleep! That's really the only thing that will make me DNF a manga honestly lol. Yesss make a convention video share your experience!
@MizzMangaChatz15 күн бұрын
Horimiya…oof yeah that could end up in a Dropped video too. I definitely agree with you that it just felt so boring and I didn’t understand the hype…like the first volume or so was cute, but then I lost interest quickly…😅 Also, true about the spoilers like it would be hard to avoid and that would be a bummer…hmm it’s actually a good argument. I’m just trying to weigh the probability of me investing so much time/money in a series to possibly end up with an unsatisfying end or don’t and miss out on the experience…😫 ugh you know I totally suffer from the fomo so that is a fair crack to my impenetrable wall of idgaf not reading it I have to admit…🤣

@@MizzMangaChatz Haha oh no better not tell me you have a fomo weakness! 🤣 I think One Piece will have an amazing ending.

I'll tell you what if ever break and decide to give One Piece another go, just take your time with it, real slowly. It's not one you want to rush. You don't need to buy 100 volumes at once lol.

🤗Hi me again. I still haven't figured out how to sent to a recommendation without what feels like spam-ing you BUT everybody nees to drop and go read MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE by Hanheun/Ken. It is finished! Only side stories are ongoing. Let me tell you why. It is a regression. A kingdom. No elfs, no magic, no angels. As it is with most Manhwas they strive to a HEA. So why this one? I haven't seen every twist and turn comming, love how we an FMC don't know much, it makes the story feel more real and random. The story is advanced in some plot point that surprise like a side character that becomes such a huge statement. More importantly this story adresses the social commentary about position of a woman and a sons as well, being born first or having no son in a family, brothers and what that really could mean, parenthood, being a daughter, a child birth, how looking for love can make you a dispised person and how I the reader hate a character and pity them also ...such dihotomy...I love how this story acknowledge women but also man!! Did you feel the same way like that buttler when he reflected at the very end of the story about the past? Or are you going to say you were above those feelings when reading the scene? Really? I am explaining it badly. There are things that haven't been forshadowed...but one particular looks like deus ex machina AND still the story doesn't lose because of it. Not to me. I love that no character feels empty and all look random so much like life and still oportunities are created. Even a small lie done with good intention creates a ripple that will bring future no one could imagine... Maybe the pieces fall too well into place...but what story doesn't do that...that is the goal after all...but also between the lines is were the leason is, that is meant to be reach you. I hope this lines are as confusing as hell and also as intriguing to make follow them and read this manhwa.🥰🤣 It is only 95 chapters look long. Plus the sidestories. The moment it is in print I am buying🙀✨️

Okay first off holding the white claw and something’s wrong with us is iconic lol. Also somethings wrong with us is one of my girlfriend’s favorites! We watched the live action drama together and enjoyed it. I only read parts of the manga version but I thought it was pretty good, just not amazing or anything. Also omg I love Princess Jellyfish (the anime), ironically I have had part of the manga in my collection forever and haven’t touched it haha. Definitely feels like the anime had decently fast progression, and it’s only 11-12 episodes. Wow all three of the manga talked about I’ve experienced in some form! I don’t blame you for not enjoying One Piece, I’m a few volumes behind now and I have gone from loving it to just feeling meh about it now. I think it really suffers in its second half and it’s only gone down hill from there, it’s also super repetitive. And ayyy I also grew up with the big three! I’ve read all of Naruto and Bleach as well. I have mixed feelings about both, but they also hold a special place in my heart and I come back to them sometimes.

Read and own all Somethings wrong with us, huge fan of Natsumi Ando but kind of wish I'd either read it all online first or waited longer for my library to get it in (because they did eventually) but I bought it during COVID when I was just spending all my money on manga, I like it but its not a favourite, it gets a lot more melodramatic and car crashy as it goes on, I'm hoping ill read it again down the line. I enjoyed it at the time up to about volume 12 or so. Not a fan of the extra 3 volumes though so glad I don't own those. Read and completed Princess Jellyfish, didn't enjoy it much, I didn't like how it went, she doesn't get with the character I wanted her to get with, the extra characters I found annoying and a lot of the plot as they try to save where they live or something (can't really remember) was sooo boring. (Cinderella closet is a bit similar and I like that its going in the direction that I wanted Princess Jellyfish to) and One Piece, read 30+ volumes and I just don't get the appeal to be honest, it was fine but I didn't find it that interesting.
