Oishinbo

I really liked Oishinbo, food manga is always fun and interesting to read. Oishinbo was especially cool because it really teaches you techniques and recipes in a fun way. I really enjoy how Oishinbo explores important things around food as well, such as the importance of the plates in Japanese cuisine, and the long process of making chopsticks.

Oishinbo even got me wanting to make some miso soup, I probably did a lot of things wrong but it was quite fun. I was running low on tofu so used tofu puffs, and the dashi was just kombu dashi with daikon to keep it vegan.

Week Three: Gekiga

I haven't read much Gekiga except for maybe Lupin III. I really like this style it's open and raw however melodramatic and fun. Cigarette girl is one of my favorite things I've ever read its funny but relatable and doesn't have as of putting charters as something like Golgo 13 though I do enjoy that type of story quite a bit. Cigarette Girl brought something to manga that I haven't personally experienced before and will be looking forward to explore more with further reading.

The influence of Manga and Anime in the West

First off I'm a salmon avocado roll. 1. I really liked this story. I think its length was perfect, overall though I found it somewhat sad. Maybe it was because of how it was drawn, or because there for most of the story nothing good really happened I just found the whole thing somewhat depressing. This could also be because I'm ending my college time, I'm actually going to become a real adult that this story spoke to me. How you can't be a kid forever but also that you can. I don't totally know but I did really enjoy reading it. 2. I was definitely able to connect to the general theme of growing up that I found in the story. As artists, I feel like we walk a fine edge between adulthood and childhood all the best stories and imaginative ideas I think come from a place in our heads that we've always had but was most active during the younger years. I also related to how Ildeung experience with grades and expectations, though I never have been as intense as stu...

Shonen Manga.

Shonen is probably the type of manga I am most familiar with. My first manga I ever read was Ranma 1/2, having not read this in quite a long time I reread it, it's still is one of my all time favorite Shonen's. I really enjoy how it differs from many of the Shonen I've seen because of the amount of romance that is also present in Ranma 1/2. It does follow many of the same themes of other Shonen, such as having the main character "level up" in their fighting abilities and have mini villain arcs. Ranma having the ability to turn into a girl definitely makes this manga unique, this ability is used a huge amount in this manga to lead to funny and cool situations. I think having Ranma switching gender lets this Shonen be more approachable by girls.
