A quick update on what I've been reading -- basically delinquent mangas -- and how I ugly cry over stuff. I have good recommendations for series! Teehee.

"Are they eyeballs? They look like eyeballs to me..." Looking back at Phantom Seer Vol. 1, isn't it interesting to find how the act of seeing, being overwhlemed, and the threads of the eventual turning of tides begin so early on...

I review the first eleven chapters of Witch Watch by Shinohara Kenta. The damsel in distress situation didn't get me too hooked but the addition of a spoofy, excitable new character really does make me love a series! 

In this particular episode, I talk about how the Demon Vice-commander of the Shinsengumi is presented in Gintama, Hakuoki, Otome games, and more. It seems like we still have to wait for the day that Hijikata is presented to be something more than the curt, cold (but actually kind) morally strong leader that he is seen to be now...

I blabber on about the hundred demon procession (百鬼夜行) mentioned in Jujustu Kaisen, Phantom Seer, Kimetsu no Yaiba and more -- a concept that goes all the way back to 12th Century Japan and Emaki (絵巻) paintings! 

I talk about Psycho Pass Season 1, seven years too late after its release -- and I realise that I might actually have a high coefficient in Akane's world, coming with the realisation that justice and law are not the same thing after all. 

I talk about Otsuichi's Zoo and how it's amazingly novel in it's ideas, but... maybe things end too quickly? But for sure, having to live as a fixture in a wall made of dead people is not fun at all!
