I think it's worth mentioning that Monster is getting a new printing that will start coming out pretty soon. I've been reading a lot of stuff from Vertical recently and it's all fantastic. Book of Human Insects and MW by Tezuka are wonderfully dark and complex. I'm half-way through Helter-Skelter by Kyoko Okazaki. It's about a young idol who gets 99% of her body completely replaced/altered through plastic surgery and her complete breakdown once her body starts deteriorating. Drawn and Quarterly is also putting out some killer stuff. Anything by Shigeru Mizuki is gold, but my favorites have been NonNonBa and Showa: History of Japan. A Drifting Life by Yoshihiro Tatsumi is an interesting autobiographical look in the life of a manga artist during the age where manga became something that wasn't just for kids!

Hakkesshu posted:This is awesome, thanks for mentioning it. I started collecting Monster, but fell off for a while and when I finally went back to it everything was out of print and super expensive. This is perfect. I'm pretty sure they are going to be omni editions? They were in last months previews.

Pretty sure I already ordered a copy of Immortal Hounds, I'll check it out when it comes. EDIT: Maybe not? I'm gonna have to look through some previews to find what I was thinking of. For some reason I was thinking of Ikigami: The Ultimate Limit, which is getting a reprint of some early volumes. I guess I just saw what looks like a dectective/policeman and made a connection.

I mean it is explicitly against the rules in BSS and kind of against the rules in ADTRW.

Plethora posted:I'm halfway through Tezuka's "Alabaster" and came across this page. It's like the perfect storm of insanity in strange simplicity. Are you out of the US? When I try to pull that page up it tells me the book is licensed and it won't show me anything.

Lmao it took me a second to recognize that publisher because I've never bought something from Seven Seas.
