Anyone going/gone to the manga exhibition at the British Museum? They're showing stuff from Golden Kamuy, Ashita no Joe, Professor Munakata etc.

My friend went (I'm up in Edinburgh and I can't really justify going down for the exhibition) and sent me a nice Princess Jellyfish postcard.

I like Immortal but I'm ready for it to end since I'd love to see what the mangaka does next.

Anyone reading The Fable? It's about a legendary hitman who has to lay low for a year in a small town. It's mostly comedic although there's a certain edge to it what with the crazy Yakuza in the cast. Fable himself is a juxtaposition between childishness (he's obsessed with a comedian called Jackal and doesn't seem to have any other interests at the start of the series) and cold blooded ruthlessness when required. I'm finding it entertaining although I'm probably missing quite a lot of jokes given my limited exposure to Japanese culture outside of manga...

I appreciate how weird and daring it is. It's so drat sad at times though. Oima is really exciting as an artist and writer, pretty amazing she's only 30.

Aw, You Will Hear the Voice of the Dead ended quite abruptly. I enjoyed it a lot...somehow the extremely episodic nature of the stories kept it fresh. Why does the mangaka always write "hello, I'm Uguisu, I mean Hiyodori Sachiko" in the afterword? Is it their old name, or a reference to something?

Shigurui is amazing but I feel a bit queasy after every chapter. Blown away by the art and energy of it while simultaneously sickened by its content...the quintessential old school seinen experience...

Tosk posted:Heresy is a dark wuxia-type story about Mo Lianjian, disciple of a sect of immortal sorcerers and exorcists, and the trials he faces in pursuit of self-cultivation to find his path. Not really into the cultivation Hogwarts stuff but the art is cool and I like the monsters.

Yeah, that's my read of it too. I've really enjoyed how Subaru has been fleshed out recently and it's clear the artist loves drawing her - there was a great sequence a while back illustrating how she interacts with the band Vs strangers she wants to impress. As for Jack In, I can only imagine it as a horrible cacophony of competing solos.

I watched the first Fable movie last night. It was actually pretty good. The casting was solid, most of the characters are a good likeness aside from Ebihara, though the guy they got still works for the role. Not as good as the manga, but they do try to capture its essence. Will probably watch the second one soon.

Youko is, in many ways, more terrifying than Fable himself.

I made the mistake of starting Hibiki before bed last night and ended up reading until like 3am. It's very compelling while being utterly ridiculous. I'm a massive sucker for manga about creative careers though, no matter how unrealistic.

It's so good. The expressions really make it. Might finally choose an avatar with a fable face...maybe Ebihara.

The ending of Fable was just right. The mirrored panel with the boss and misaki reacting to the proposal was perfect. Is there a sequel??

Kingdom is really samey. My eyes just glaze over a lot of the battle scenes now. I'm still reading it since it doesn't update that often, but it's kinda sunk cost at this point.

UnderFreddy posted:this is really good and now i'm really mad you linked a manga that hasn't updated in 3 months I just finished reading the available chapters and I'm mad too now. At least it didn't end on a cliffhanger. I didn't realise how famous the mangaka is. Definitely going to check out her other work.

Fable is really good but the frequent rape-as-plot-device is getting old. Feel like the mangaka is self aware enough to do better.

I think I burned out on it and stopped after the timeskip, probably time to go back to it since I really like the mangaka. Kinda hope they do another non-supernatural story after this though.

Ringo Roadagain posted:takahashi tsutomo is great. here is his episode of manben https://www.naokiurasawa.com/takahashi-tsutomu/ Manben is so good. Totally forgot about it and need to watch it all. The one with the Crying German guy is funny cos he's so concerned about appearances that he would only agree to the show if he could obscure his face with a selection of drawings of different expressions.

Any new (last 5 years) horror or thriller manga with a more 'serious' feel to recommend? By serious I guess I mean something with less of a splatter/b-movie vibe - Manhole, Monster, and Homunculus are good examples of what I'm looking for.

Thanks for all the recs, excited to read them. Tosk posted:If you haven't read the other Urasawa classics, 20th Century Boys, Pluto and Billy Bat are probably all worth a look. Brought To You By posted:This one just started it's official english publication. But you an try The Tree of Death: Yomotsuhegui. Story starts off with a former cop being released from prison after he got revenge for the murder of his wife and child on one of the two men responsible. He goes to finish what he started years ago with the remaining man but things don't go according to plan. Lt. Lizard posted:If you want a serious psychological horror with almost no violence, gore or supernatural, I recommend Chi no Wadachi/Blood on the Tracks. It's finished and ran from 2017 to 2023, so I think it counts. Julias posted:It started 7 years ago but Chi no Wadachi (Blood on the Tracks) finished a few months ago if you haven't read that. RuBisCO posted:Not strictly horror but it might fit your vibe, read Innocent/Innocent Rouge by Shinichi Sakamoto. Or #drcl but that's not finished yet.
