Giant Robot Biennale 5 Now Open
Tumblr media
Giant Robot Biennale 5 is now open at JANM in Little Tokyo.
— photos and story by Christine N. Ziemba
Move over Frieze. The fifth edition of the Giant Robot Biennale opened on Friday night (March 1) at the Japanese American National Museum (JANM) in L.A.'s Little Tokyo.
The art exhibition, which has recurred since 2007, was once again organized by JANM and Eric Nakamura, founder of Giant Robot — the former magazine and now shop and gallery on Sawtelle Boulevard.
Channeling the Giant Robot ethos, the Biennale highlights an array of Asian and Asian American alternative pop art and culture works, taking inspiration from skateboard culture, comic books, graphic design, and vinyl toy culture.
The opening night featured hundreds of guests waiting in winding lines — JANM is a smaller museum — to see works by artists Sean Chao, Felicia Chiao, Luke Chueh, Giorgiko, James Jean, Taylor Lee, Mike Shinoda, Rain Szeto, and Yoskay Yamamoto and others. 
The exhibition spreads across three rooms, with eye-catching works stretching end-to-end. Here are a few of our favorites.

In which Sean solos yet again.
HIRAETH -The End of the Journey-, Vol. 1 | By Yuhki Kamatani | Kodansha Manga (digital only) – This does not end up being quite as depressing as the warning at the start might indicate, but the warning is appreciated, as this book starts with a young woman trying to kill herself, and her suicidal thoughts are present throughout the volume. She meets a god who is dying, and is taking a tour of Japan (and being a bit of a brat about it), as well as a man who CAN’T die, and on their journey we get a lot of different perspectives. That said, as always with this author, if you’re only here to look at the lush, gorgeous art, you will not be disappointed either—even the panel composition is amazing. It’s absolutely not for everyone, but if you liked Our Dreams at Dusk this is a must-read. – Sean Gaffney
The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You, Vol. 2 | By Rikito Nakamura and Yukiko Nozawa | Ghost Ship We add two more girls in this volume, and really the impressive thing about it is not how he keeps managing to convince each girl to go along with this, but the fact that they really do almost all get along. Hell, some of them may get along a little too well—if for some reason he can’t actually marry 100 girls, and they don’t all die, Hakari and Karane may be able to make things work. As for the new girlfriends, we have the stoic and intellectual one, and the mad scientist who mostly looks like a child one, which is hilarious even if it toes the line of offensiveness. That said, that’s one nasty cliffhanger. – Sean Gaffney
My Next Life As a Villainess Side Story: Girls Patch | By Various Artists | Seven Seas – This anthology asks the question: don’t you wish Bakarina was a yuri series? (There was an equivalent for the guys, but don’t expect Seven Seas to license that anytime soon.) A lot of the Western audience for the series was more into Mary, Sophia and Maria than any of the actual love interests—and indeed have abandoned the series for the most part after realizing it’s veering too het. That said, while this doesn’t have any weddings or alternate universes where Katarina suddenly gets it, it has lots of sweet scenes between the quartet, as well as a brief one with Anne, which is not really shown as romantic so it’s fine. It’s an anthology, so variable, but is mostly perfectly pleasant. – Sean Gaffney
Run on Your New Legs, Vol. 1 | By Wataru Midori| Yen Press – For the most part this is a very good story about a former star athlete who lost a leg finding that he can still compete with the help of prosthetics, even if it’s not soccer (his former sport). That said, I could not help but spend much of the first half of this book feeling a bit creeped out by the way he was sort of stalked and manipulated by the guy who is designing said prosthetics, who turns out to basically be a start-up trying to drum up work. Consent is given, but it doesn’t feel earned, if you know what I mean. Other than that, this is a strong sports manga with lots of past trauma to overcome, a guy who is being forced to reopen his world to other people, and some nifty art. – Sean Gaffney
Teasing Master Takagi-san, Vol. 14 | By Soichiro Yamamoto | Yen Press – The question on my mind as I read this volume of Takagi-san is essentially: what is the difference between this and a normal couple who go on dates? Honestly, the answer may actually be “normal couples aren’t together quite as much as these two.” Here we see Nishikata challenging Takagi to guess the number of steps to a shrine, not realizing the shrine is a famous couples’ shrine, so everyone but him knows already. They eat lunch together, and she offers to feed him. They coincidentally do a New Year’s shrine visit together. And, in the best chapter, we see Takagi, briefly jealous after Nishikata helps another girl, actually picking on him. She does apologize. He can’t see the difference. – Sean Gaffney

They’re coughing in the galleries at the Grand Chess Tour - other sports
Tumblr media
“Anand! Anand!” At least a dozen children barrel towards five-time world champion Viswanathan Anand as he makes his way into the Bhasha Bhawan auditorium—in Kolkata’s National Library, on the grounds of Belvedere Estate, formerly the residence of the Viceroy of India. Anand is here for the Tata Steel Chess India Rapid and Blitz, the final leg of the Grand Chess Tour. If he finishes sixth or higher, he will qualify for the finals in London next month. The heat is on.“Stop! Stop running!” event officials cry in vain as the grandmaster makes his way through this group of small children. To budding chess enthusiasts dying for his autograph (even better, a selfie), he is an idol, surrounded by an entourage and escorted into a theatre of war.“Chess,” Bobby Fischer once declared, “is war over the board. The object is to crush the opponent’s mind.” Chess can be gruelling. Ask Anatoly Karpov, who lost 22 pounds over five months during the 1984 World Chess Championship against Garry Kasparov—it was abandoned after 48 games because the players were wasting away. When two armies meet, blood is invariably spilt. Does it matter if it’s over 64 squares on a meagre chequered board? “Kasparov kept pressing for a murderous attack. Toward the end, Kasparov had to oppose threats of violence with more of the same” (Robert Byrne, “Game 21 Adjourned as Thrust and Parry Give Way to Melee,” New York Times, December 20, 1990).So make no mistake—Anand and nine other grandmasters are here to do battle. There are batteries, castlings and gambits—Anand is forced to sacrifice his pawn against Dutch grandmaster Anish Girl, leading to a fall. Poisoned pawns are used to trick and cajole—Magnus Carlsen unleashes the Sicilian Najdorf to thwart the swashbuckling Armenian Levon Aronian. Later in the day, Carlsen is coaxed into a thrilling endgame by Indian wildcard Vidit Gujrathi, to a position of bare kings and thence to a draw.After Anand has made his way in, calm descends, if only temporarily; an eagle-eyed fan, barely older than a toddler, darts into the garden beside the entrance—“Magnus oidike!” (Magnus is that way). The boy is followed by a gang of budding chess players who rush towards the Norwegian. Carlsen, it seems, is taking the scenic route.Carlsen walks briskly into the auditorium, children shouting his name and twirling around him like moths around an icy blue flame. The greatest chess player in the world radiates calm, even when he’s frowning. You could set a spirit level by his posture during a game—legs apart, feet almost always planted firmly on the ground, sitting as far back in the chair as possible. He is perfectly positioned, on the board and in his chair, as he plays Giri on the second day. His upper body pivots backward and forward, depending on whether he’s contemplating his move or waiting for his opponent’s. Giri, on the other hand, is on the edge of his seat, teetering. On move 55, he concedes. Carlsen continues to frown.Levon Aronian, in contrast, rarely frowns; he stretches, leans and paces. When he gets up and walks around, which is often, it is as if he’s hanging fire, hoping the queue outside the toilet will dwindle soon. As his profile in the New Yorker noted, “Most leading chess players appear tightly wound at the board; Aronian looks like he’s waiting for an Old-Fashioned” (Sean Williams, “A Chess Master with an Unpredictable Style and the Hopes of a Nation,” New Yorker, July 29, 2017). One day he’s in a flaming red shirt, and another day he has gold on his glittering red shoes.But Aronian doesn’t really see himself as one of chess’s remaining ‘characters’ (though a senior journalist is filled with dread as his Mont Blanc pen is almost broken by Aronian’s vigorous autograph). “The world is moving towards conformity,” he observes wryly at the draw of lots. “I speak through my moves on the board, not through words. Chess is about silence, you know? It attracts introverts.” As if to prove him wrong, there are soon shouts of “Arrey bhai, bosh na re!” (Hey you, sit down); the photographers in the back are berating all and sundry for rushing towards the players and obscuring their view.A game of chess is not as silent as it pretends. Wherever there is order, there is chaos. Someone in the audience falls asleep and starts to snore softly, soon to be shaken awake by the prowling enforcers (“Ma-der ghumotey diley bhalo hoto” (They should let us mothers sleep), the mother of a young chess student complains to another. In Game Eight of last year’s World Championship match, strange noises penetrated the soundproof room in which Carlsen and American challenger Fabiano Caruana were duelling. The rule of all good theatres is the quieter the show, louder (and many more) the coughs in the audience. During chess, everyone can hear you expectorate.We haven’t even got to the phones yet. Every time a phone offends, it is confiscated. Soon, there is a large pile of phones at a corner of the stage. One of these keeps bursting into ringtone once in a while; and every time there is a mad, but silent, scramble to mute it. Somewhere in the back of the auditorium, someone dares to have a conversation on their phone, and Anand—playing, and eventually defeating, Wesley So, the World Fischer Random Chess Champion —leans sideways and looks into the audience bemused, as if trying to eavesdrop.In the breaks between games, small revolutions threaten to erupt over the demand for phones to be returned. Some of the arbiters have to intervene and arbitrate in these matters of law beyond chess in their off-time. Outside, on the balcony, Carlsen, a Real Madrid fan, kicks a football around with considerable skill. His shirt hangs loose over his trousers and he is barefoot, a young man enjoying himself and in complete control of his art (“…while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists”— Marcel Duchamp, artist and chess player, Address to the New York State Chess Association, 1952). He only ever looks vulnerable with a football at his feet; at the board, he seems invincible. A slight beard making him seem older and more aloof, Carlsen emits Nordic cool even as he sweats with the ball.Perhaps it is appropriate that a chess tournament at Bhasha Bhavan is bursting at the seams with language. Two children sitting in the audience spot Anand’s discomfiture and whisper to each other—“Anand is in danger!” They find it hard to pronounce his opponent’s name, Russian grandmaster Ian Nepomniachtchi, so they bestow him with an affectionate moniker—“tikiwallah jeetey jaabe” (The guy with the man-bun will win). The stage keeps morphing into tableaux vivants—Aronian stretching; Giri bent double in concentration, nose almost touching his queen; Ding Liren, ranked third in the world, looks like he’s frozen into position, using only the muscles required to move a piece from one square to another. High up at the back of the auditorium, Wesley So sits between games with his mother, contemplating life and observing the city’s chess enthusiasts. In a rare display of overt emotion, the Indian grandmaster Pentala Harikrishna can’t help break into a beaming smile as he uses the Rossolimo variation to crush the tikiwallah’s Sicilian Defence. For all its claims to silence and meditative force, a game of chess unfolds in many voices. Chess is conducive to drama.So it is for the drama, really, that so many people throng to Bhasha Bhavan for this five-day tournament—on the weekend there is a packed house, and people refuse to go to the toilet for fear of losing their prime real estate, that perfect seat that lets you discern Anand’s quiet gaze and Hikaru Nakamura’s grimaces, Vidit’s sartorial sparkle and Giri twirling chess pieces in his fingers as he concentrates. At the end of every day’s play, you hear people detailing their winding roads back home—someone has to change buses twice; a father and his chess-playing little daughter will have to get to Sealdah station and then take a train. Between the bouts of riveting game play and the arguments with enforcers and organisers, between the desperate run to smelly bathrooms brought on by the glacial air-conditioning, the drama makes it all worth it.Through it all, the coughs keep coming, and Magnus Carlsen continues to frown.

Qué es I Ching y para qué sirve el libro de las mutaciones
REPORTAJE
Fernando Coelho
03/09/2017 - 15:07
Hoy en día el mundo nos sorprende constantemente por nuevos descubrimientos arqueológicos, modificaciones del cambio climático o incluso pensamientos de colonizar otros planetas.
A veces mirar al pasado puede hacer que evolucionemos más que si miramos al futuro y es lo que nos ha pasado al encontrarnos con I Ching: el libro de las mutaciones.
Se podría decir que es uno de los primeros textos de la humanidad pero para ser más exactos debemos explicar que posiblemente es el libro chino más antiguo que conservamos; ya que históricamente conservamos escritos sumerios que corresponden a épocas anteriores.
Teniendo en cuenta que la civilización sumeria es considerada como la primera y más antigua civilización (sociedad compleja) del planeta Tierra, aunque el origen de sus habitantes es incierto actualmente y existen varias hipótesis, no se puede atribuir a I Ching ser el primer libro de la historia.
Los expertos coinciden en que los primeros escritos del libro de las mutaciones, están datados alrededor del 1200 a.C.
Desde entonces las diferentes dinastías que han gobernado, han modificado el texto enriqueciéndolo y creando connotaciones para mejorar su comprensión.
Al principio su lectura era muy compleja por las diferentes interpretaciones de las pictografías pero con el paso del tiempo se ha adecuado para una mayor comprensión.
Los pictogramas son complejos para aquellas culturas que no se han educado con ellos, ya que evocan conceptos y no palabras específicas. Una lengua occidental que a veces define palabras con conceptos es la alemana ya que a veces combinan dos palabras en una sola.
Tal vez sea por esto que la adaptación del escritor alemán Richard Wilhelm sea la más aclamada de todas.
I Ching: el libro de las mutaciones  
Durante miles de años ha sido consultado por millones de personas y aunque los occidentales desconocemos en muchos aspectos culturas externas a la nuestra, grandes pensadores y filósofos han vivido con el libro de las mutaciones una gran parte de su vida.
Guillermo Leibniz, filósofo alemán del siglo XVIII, descubrió al mismo tiempo que Isaac Newton las bases del cálculo diferencial.
Este conocimiento reveló una gran sorpresa para él ya que al encontrarse frente al I Ching y entender que utilizaba el mismo sistema numérico implementado por Leibniz, no pudo evitar ruborizarse. Para un inventor o filósofo encontrar que alguien ya ha creado mucho tiempo atrás lo que supuestamente has ingeniado tú, puede suponer un varapalo importante o un descubrimiento que cambiará tu vida para siempre.
La historia es fascinante y son estos sucesos lo que provocan un gran intereses en cada detalle acontecido, por eso el libro de las mutaciones intenta ayudarte en la complejidad de tu vida.
La tecnología muta constantemente como menciona Richard Wilhelm en I Ching y por ello cada vez existen dispositivos que nos permiten mejorar nuestra lectura diaria. Estamos seguros que esta tecnología seguirá evolucionado hasta que un día los libros, tal y cómo los conocemos ahora mismo, serán objetos de coleccionista.
¿Qué es I Ching: el libro de las mutaciones?
Para entenderlo un poco mejor, te vamos a explicar que el principio fundamental del I Ching es: lo inmutable es la mutación.
El mundo está en un perpetuo cambio y esta complejidad tan absoluta genera una cantidad infinita de posibilidades.
Son muchos los referentes que nos hemos encontrado a lo largo de la historia del séptimo arte con "Neo" en Matrix, "Rick Sanchez" en Rick y Morty o Dr. Stephen en Dr. Strange.
La complejidad es absoluta y es importante entender que I Ching requiere una reflexión constante del todo y la nada.
Es decir, según el libro de las mutaciones, todo lo que hacemos puede conllevar un cambio en el universo; incluido lo que no hacemos (como nos contaba Hiro Nakamura en Héroes).
Y por otro lado, nada de lo que hacemos es importante ya que el universo es infinito y si tenemos en cuenta la cantidad de espacio-tiempo, somos una mota de polvo en un océano.
Estos dos conceptos se unifican para mostrarnos la cara oculta de nuestro interior. El libro de las mutaciones en realidad intenta ayudarnos a entender quiénes somos y cómo nos sentimos.
Muchos lo consideran un oráculo chino y puede que no estén del todo desencaminados.
¿Quieres pasar una tarde divertida con una bola 8 mágica?
No se trata de una bola mágica o un libro de adivinación. Curiosamente en las series estadounidenses nos hemos encontrado con un concepto parecido: la bola 8 de billar mágica; a la cual podías hacerle una pregunta y esta te respondía, aunque a veces no era la respuesta esperada.
¿Para qué sirve I Ching: el libro de las mutaciones?
I Ching no es un manual donde 2 + 2 es igual a 4. Tienes que leerlo entendiendo que todo en este mundo es relativo.
El libro de las mutaciones se presta a interpretaciones. Al no ser una respuesta absoluta con un sí, puedes interpretar la respuesta y normalmente esa respuesta suele condicionarse por nosotros mismos adaptándola a lo que más nos beneficia; por eso es un ejercicio de “separación del yo” para entender realmente la respuesta.
Para que se entienda mejor voy a poner un ejemplo:
Imagínate que preguntas: ¿voy a tener hijos? Pues la respuesta obviamente no va a ser: sí o no; más que nada porque la pregunta no está bien enfocada.
Actualmente no entendemos la sangre como un identificativo de familia. En la película "Descubriendo a Forrester" Sean Connery lo explica estupendamente, al leer el relato que adapta Rob Brown.
Puede que nunca tengas hijos biológicos pero sí adoptados o puede que tu hermano tenga un hijo al que quieres y tratas como si fuera tuyo, ¿en esos casos tendrías un hijo o no?
Precisamente esta explicación es la más importante ya que si no se comprende perfectamente, dará igual que realices el proceso ya que no te va a tener mucho sentido y no va a ser acertado.
También es interesante enfocar una pregunta desde un punto de vista y luego hacerlo al contrario, para ver ambas respuestas y así tener varias perspectivas para conseguir un conocimiento mayor.
Es decir: ¿Voy a educar correctamente a mis hijos?¿Voy a educar incorrectamente a mis hijos?
Los mejores juegos educativos para niños
Alguno podrá pensar que a la gran mayoría de preguntas se puede responder con un sí pero son respuestas complejas, no son preguntas como: ¿hoy es 24 de enero de 1932?
Una vez entendido el concepto inicial para replantear una pregunta, se debe tener en cuenta la manera de hacer la pregunta.
Durante miles de años, la cultura china ha dejado constancia de numerosos casos donde pedían a personas que no creían en el I Ching que hicieran preguntas con sus respectivas respuestas. Estas no concordaban y por lo tanto no tenían sentido.
Sin embargo, aquellas personas que creían completamente en el concepto del libro de las mutaciones hacían las mismas preguntas y encontraban unas respuestas muy interesantes que ayudaban a la persona en cuestión.
Por lo tanto, nos quieren explicar que sin la creencia de la información y el entendimiento, difícilmente va a tener sentido alguna de las respuestas que el I Ching nos quiera mostrar.
Como ya hemos dicho anteriormente, I Ching no es clarividencia ni adivinación. El libro de las mutaciones es un oráculo matemático que te plantea “conceptos” para ayudarte en tu vida y por lo tanto, depende de ti recibir esa información e implementarla en el día a día para enriquecerte y “hacerte más fuerte”.
¿Cómo se "materializa" la pregunta en I Ching: el libro de las mutaciones?
Una vez has entendido los pasos anteriores, debes utilizar 3 monedas. Estas monedas normalmente suelen ser las de la imagen que te ponemos a continuación:
Entendiendo que el I Ching define que lo inmutable es la mutación, comprender que no todo el mundo va a tener acceso a esas monedas, es comprensible y por lo tanto, puedes utilizar 3 monedas diferentes siempre y cuando mantengas en tu mente el concepto que se quiere transmitir con dichas monedas.
Se supone que debemos lanzar esas 3 monedas pero antes voy a explicarte por qué y cómo debemos lanzar las monedas en I Ching.
Cada moneda tiene 2 lados. Debes asignarle al lado de la cara el número 2 y al lado del sello (o cruz) asignarle el número 3.
Una vez los asignes, debes lanzar las 3 monedas y te dará un resultado, por ejemplo:
2+2+3 = 7
Desde la página del oráculo chino puedes hacerlo online si te es más cómodo.
Debes lanzar las monedas 6 veces y sumar todos los resultados, por ejemplo:
3+3+2=8
3+3+2=8
3+3+3=9
2+3+3=8
2+2+2=6
3+2+3=8
Nuestra pregunta ha sido: ¿tendrá buena recepción este artículo entre nuestros lectores?
Y las respuestas son: 15 “La modestia” (Ch´ien) y 8 “La solidaridad” (Pi).
La respuesta a esto es muy extensa pero en nuestro limitado conocimiento entendemos que ambas hablan de: solidaridad, unión y la aparición de personas con ideales parejos a los nuestros; por lo tanto, nos hace pensar que estamos realizando bien nuestro trabajo y que debemos seguir realizándolo en la misma línea de evolución y mejora.
Si han aparecido resultados de 6 o de 9, pueden generar respuestas múltiples como si de un As se tratase en el BlackJack, por eso me aparecen dos posibles respuestas (15 y 8). Esto provoca que a los occidentales les resulte más complicado entender I Ching.
I Ching se basa en la lectura de 64 hexagramas por lo tanto, se unen conceptos “amigables” como: la montaña (gèn) y la tierra (kün); y en otras ocasiones se unen conceptos que se “repelen” como: agua (kǎn) y fuego (lí).
Lo curioso es que a veces, conceptos que podríamos entender que se repelen, pueden compenetrarse y conseguir algo muy positivo; este concepto incluso lo ha utilizado Bill Gates en sus negocios.
¿Cuál es el libro más inspirador que ha leído Bill Gates?
Otro concepto a tener en cuenta es la distancia entre una misma pregunta, es decir, no deberías hacer la misma pregunta el mismo día de forma consecutiva ya que esa situación implica que estás saltándote el primer punto al no tener respeto por la evolución o mutación de la vida.
Si estás esperando un evento importante para dentro de 1 año, preguntar dos días seguidos lo mismo, no va a suponer un gran cambio; pero si lo preguntas cada 6 meses, sí encontrarás respuestas evolutivas.
Y es que debes recordar que la idea de I Ching no es ser un adivino o intentar dar con la respuesta absoluta sobre un concepto determinado.
Su máxima es la mutación, y entender que todo es relativo y está en constante evolución es importantísimo. Por lo tanto, nunca será la misma respuesta para ti aunque los números coincidan, ya que tu vida habrá evolucionado desde la última vez que preguntaste.
I Ching puede ser el oráculo de tu vida o no serlo, en cualquier caso, es un libro que merece la pena ser leído para conocerse mejor a uno mismo y evolucionar el pensamiento.

Days on Fes, Vol. 1 | By Kanato Oka | Yen Press A manga about the joys of music festivals is something we’ve seen before, but usually it’s from the perspective of the band playing onstage. This new title is devoted to the happiness found in being a concertgoer at these festivals, told from the perspective of two high school girls—one a festival veteran, the other a newbie—and the veteran’s older brother, who runs a cafe, and his friend/employee, who is… Eeyore, frankly. Aside from the fun festival stuff, including an impromptu fashion show the girls give us, I was left wondering if this is a BL or yuri manga—the two guys, especially, given off a very couple vibe without actually being one. I’ll definitely be reading the next volume. – Sean Gaffney
Haikyu!!, Vol. 43 | By Haruichi Furudate | VIZ Media – I originally thought I wanted to see Haikyu!! end with Karasuno triumphing at the National Tournament. Furudate-sensei doesn’t go that route, though, and this volume in particular proves why that was absolutely the right choice. After two years in Brazil honing his skills playing beach volleyball, Hinata returns to Japan and joins a pro team (alongside some familiar faces) in the top tier of Japan’s volleyball league. This volume finds him facing off against Kageyama (and some familiar faces) for the first time since middle school, with even more familiar faces among the spectators. We needed this final arc to see how good Hinata has become, how it’s become clear even to those who once doubted him that he is a very valuable player even without Kageyama by his side. The best part, though, is the obvious respect Kageyama has for Hinata. They’ve grown in so many ways. Sniff. – Michelle Smith
Komi Can’t Communicate, Vol. 12 | By Tomohito Oda | Viz Media – The majority of this book is about the summer break from school, and attempts of the group to go to the beach as a fun activity. The difficulty is that Najimi ends up not going, so the rest of the cast, who rely on Najimi to be so over-the-top extroverted that they drag everyone else with them, is feeling awkwardly quiet. But once we get there we get a lot of fun in the sun. That said, we may be setting up an important plot point ahead, as in order to get rid of some unwanted guys hitting on her, Tadano says that he’s Manbagi’s boyfriend… something that afterwards she does not entirely seem to be opposed to. Are we headed for a love triangle? Still one of my favorite school comedies running right now. – Sean Gaffney
Satoko and Nada, Vol. 4 | By Yupechika | Seven Seas – The final volume of this story is mostly happy and heartwarming, though it can also be quite realistic—when their time together is up, Satoko and Nada go on to have separate lives, though the epilogue does show them meeting up again years later. Still, the impact they had on each other’s lives is astounding. As for the manga itself, it’s still showing off the differences between not only Japan and Saudi Arabia, but also both nations and America. Both women end up living strong, fulfilling lives, and you will be very happy to have watched part of it. This is one of my favorite pickups of the last few years, and at only four volumes it also would make a great gift set. – Sean Gaffney
Skip Beat!, Vol. 45 | By Yoshiki Nakamura | Viz Media – It feels like a dam has burst, reading this volume. The back half of the book contains some of the most amazing art in the entire series, with Kyoko literally running away from everything as fast as she can only to find Ren proving that he can run faster and confront her harder. That said, the front half of the book is also excellent—this series is now 45 volumes long, and has come a long way from a girl and her rage gremlins that surround her trying to get revenge, but it’s nice to know that whenever there’s a real problem, Ren can always turn to a giant chicken for advice. That said, she’s not a man, she’s a Kyoko Boo, so I’m on tenterhooks waiting for her response. Which, erm, is not scheduled by Viz yet, alas. – Sean Gaffney
Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle, Vol. 14 | By Kagiji Kumanomata | Viz Media Throughout this series we’ve been wondering exactly why the human world is relying on doofuses like Braver to try to save the princess from her presumably horrible fate. OK, let’s be fair—no, we haven’t. We’ve been watching Syalis be a combination of evil gremlin, naive doofus, and teenager growing up. But it comes to mind in this new volume as her mother the Queen, running away from home after an argument with her husband, stays over for a bit with Syalis. We’ve met the Queen before, but it’s no surprise to find that she and her daughter are quite similar… or that the King is likely to be far less accommodating. Also, there’s that pesky human/demon war. Can these problems be solved? – Sean Gaffney
Snow White with the Red Hair, Vol. 12 | By Sorata Akiduki | Viz Media – Well, so much for moving in together. After the last volume saw Zen and Shirayuki finally be able to be in the same building with each other, this new one sees Shirayuki being reassigned, meaning a long time away from Zen. Yes, Snow White with the Red Hair appears to be turning into a long-distance dedication. (Can we get fantasy Casey Kasem?) Oh yes, and the Queen, who apparently is allergic to being in the castle, has decided to abdicate in favor of the eldest son, which leads to a big ol’ ceremony and also the reintroduction of characters we thought might be gone, like Kiki’s wannabe fiancee. In any event, it appears we’re definitely headed for a new arc in the next book. – Sean Gaffney
What the Font?!: A Manga Guide to Western Typeface | By Kuniichi Ashiya | Seven Seas – While there doesn’t seem to be any shortage of manga with anthropomorphic characters, I can safely say that What the Font?! is the first I’ve come across featuring fonts personified, putting a literal face to typeface. Ostensibly, the story is about Marusu, a salesperson who has been put in charge of a proposal layout despite having no formal background in design or typography. But What the Font?! isn’t really about telling a story; it’s about providing Marusu (and by proxy the readers) a crash course in Western typefaces, their history, aesthetics, and uses. Most of the volume is presented as four-panel manga accompanied by informational tidbits. The humor isn’t always particularly funny or invigorating, but some of the jokes are quite memorable as Ashiya finds ways to successfully convey the characteristics of fonts through human personalities and behavior. What the Font?! is an accessible and frequently entertaining introduction to typography. – Ash Brown

How Clown Pants Saved My Lifestyles
Last January, after a lifetime on the East Coast, my then fiancée, Amanda, and I moved from The big apple to L. A. and right away fell in hapless portions. Our reasons for moving were sound. She’d been presented a good task out right here, and she or he become uninterested in winter. We had been approximate to get married—I’d already pledged to observe her anywhere she went. Plus I preferred the concept of trying something new. So I followed her to L. A.. We rented a house at the aspect of a hill above Hollywood and leased matching motors with sequential license plates. She labored on a studio lot a short force away, and that I worked from home, wherein I wandered around our house and marveled at the thick silence that had settled in around our lives.
One aspect nobody told us approximately Los Angeles is that it’s one of the loneliest towns within the international. All people who live here is aware of this, however, we did no longer. It’s flat regular splendor summons you out of doors, and then there you’re: outside. You and the coyotes and the palm timber and the guys hoping to get paintings on Away to Escape with Homicide. Neither folks had moved given that we had been embryos, basically. I stored getting caught on elemental matters, like what to put on. How do you dress whilst the weather requires without a doubt nothing of you? The big apple became the place I grew up, and what I wore there has been a blandly literal expression of the character I grew into: prideful however in general nameless, quiet, however, with any luck, tasteful. In Los Angeles, a town that prizes none of those features, 1/2 my cloth cabinet—darkish blue sweaters, scuffed-up shoes, clothes that might move from a wet sidewalk to a neon-lit subway vehicle to a stylish workplace and lower back, in The big apple manner—appeared efficiently useless.
The opposite half of made me feel like I nevertheless lived in New york however changed into somehow trapped here, journeying. It turned into a sensation I began to realize well: that dislocated feeling, like being on a permanent excursion from the sector I knew to be real.
and then I commenced to realize it even better. 13 days when we left NY, I learned that my mom has been diagnosed with breast most cancers. I used to be lower back in the city on a reporting trip while my father e-mailed my sister and me and told us we ought to find each other and expect a smartphone call. We sat around the smartphone in my sister’s Brooklyn condo even as she wrote the information down on a blue Publish-it note. Metaplastic—a form of most cancers so uncommon, my health practitioner father advised us, there was no setup a remedy. Her docs had determined to deal with it like its closest analog, some other shape of breast cancer I’d by no means heard of: triple bad. It becomes a Friday night time. My mom became approximately 90 miles away, at domestic in Philadelphia, her voice parabolic with worry. My sister and that I went out and drank ourselves blind. The following morning, drenched in helplessness, I was given on a aircraft lower back to Los Angeles.
It changed into Amanda who first intuited what I was doing. I used to be handling some matters, she knew that, and she was looking to give me area—but had I observed, possibly once I looked in the replicate, that every day I was sporting something extensively extraordinary from the Closing? As though the garments I owned have been a deck of cards and I used to be absentmindedly shuffling them. This will be been unremarkable given what I’d moved to La with. but I’d been shopping. I’d been replacing the matters I owned with… I guess I wasn’t certain what those new matters were.
It started out in a garb save in Culver town—I’d gone there with a close pal of mine, Sean, and our partners. Sean knew the co-founder, Josh Peskowitz, a touch. Josh had long gone into business with Levi’s to make these jeans—they were 501s but reduce wider, with greater panels of denim sewn into the legs, hemmed comically excessive, around the mid-calf. They have been…clown pants. Sean wouldn’t even pop out of his dressing room with them on. I did and became rewarded with Amanda’s disbelieving laughter. For something motive, I carried them to the sign up anyway. Maybe because they made me sense like someone aside from myself. Or due to the fact I wanted to head on the offensive against what was happening to my family, and this turned into the dumb reptile manner I chose to fight back. All I truly understand for sure is that I have become their owner. and then I kept going.
Bins from far-off places started out to reach our house weekly, each day. The things I wore were broadening, going horizontal. At GQ, we pledge allegiance to tailoring, to in shape. This turned into something one-of-a-kind. This changed into a David Byrne in shape—billboard-sized, rectangular—constructed from cotton and denim. a few days I looked like two guys status side by means of aspect, or Perhaps one very beaten boy. A just-landed paratrooper thrashing around in his own parachute. Hiding in the material. I did laps around our dwelling room, attempting out new shades and shapes.
The silhouettes that emerged from those experiments have been dopey and various. Amanda said she in no way knew who might come out of the bedroom at any given moment. To be sincere, I didn’t, either. I zigged, zagged, light to dark, light to colorful. Dignified to, frankly, ridiculous. I bought a turtleneck that had the word CACTUS right on the neck, upside down, a garment that I lacked the self-assurance to put on 98 percent of the time—however a man, those 2 percentage days. I cherished a grey Tim Coppens sweatshirt protected in stiff, random blotches of colour—the sort of garment so deliberately weird human beings needed to renowned it when I wore it. After Donald Trump’s election, I blacked out and came to on New Yr’s Eve carrying a turtleneck threaded with gold. Sean stated I seemed like a washed-up Italian film director attempting his twenty-third movie. It becomes now not intended as a compliment.
Subsequently, it was given to the point in which I desired to talk to a person approximately what I was wearing. someone professional. I used to be on a journey without knowing in which I used to be going, and i stored by accident guidance off the street. (here I think of the pinstriped pants by means of Our Legacy, thin and diaphanous and accommodating, that Amanda refused to let me wear out of doors the house. Or within the home.) Who may want to take my education wheels off, give me permission to move deeper? I wished a person to assist me sort out my emotions approximately garments—or the emotions that had led me to have feelings approximately clothes. a person to train me sufficient about style to get through this tough patch in my Lifestyles in a planned and aesthetically captivating manner. I wasn’t proud that this turned into what I had chosen to awareness on at a tumultuous time in my Life. However the idiot thoughts desires what it desires. Hiroki Nakamura. Fashion designer of the cult label Visvim. Famously elusive, but additionally famous in fashion circles for making clothes with the identical emotional the rest, that lingering inchoate magic, that a museum-caliber work of art has. He resided inside the zone I desired to enter, where garments were more than garments. I’d well-known his designs for years, even as in no way being able to come up with the money for even an unmarried object. The fringed moccasin sneakers he’d emerge as recognized for; the denim jackets, hand-completed, heavy with an air of mystery; one-of-a-type painted shirts; robust, historical-searching pants. Hiroki’s inspirations have been antique workwear, the turquoise, and silver of the Yankee Southwest, and the insane stages of artisanship he’d seen developing up in Japan—indigo dyers, silk-weavers, folks who had been glazing porcelain for hundreds of years.
He’d once labored at a skiing organization, Burton, which gave him a technical savvy. however in 2001, at age 29, he’d left to start Visvim. His garments are prohibitively highly-priced—flannels that cost $975, unstructured jackets that value two times that—and coveted by the likes of John Mayer and Kanye West. Hiroki’s pieces have the feel of artifacts—of uncommon materials assembly uncommon craftsmanship but coming collectively in familiar forms, like denims or parkas. They appear like they have been hand-sculpted after being dug out of the earth in a few far-off desolate tract. They have strength.
inside the few interviews, I should find, he becomes slightly…gnomic. A person of noticeably few phrases. However the matters he designed seemed reassuring. Like they’d fought off demons and received. I idea Perhaps he’d have a few advice on doing just that.
Rapidly earlier than Memorial Day, Amanda and I flew lower back to Big apple and drove north into the Catskills to get married. My mom wore a wig to approximate the hair she’d misplaced, and walked me down the aisle. by this factor, she turned into hollowed out from chemotherapy, but her doctors have been constructive—the same drugs that have been annihilating her were annihilating her cancer. She become going to live. For our wedding ceremony, she’d skipped her weekly chemo consultation so that she’d have the strength to pop. She danced! And for a second, everything went calm and quiet. In June, she had surgery—they took her ovaries, each breast. My father informed me he dreaded the instant after the stitches came out when the reality of what she’d lost might set in for her. After the surgical procedure, I flew to Philadelphia, and we took walks across the block—as soon as a day, after which twice, and then practically every hour. You cannot preserve my mother on a couch. by the fall, she turned into nearly herself once more. Her hair had begun to develop back; she got her first haircut in months. She had gone thru hell and got here out looking like Jean Seberg in Breathless. It becomes the maximum magnificent aspect. at the telephone, I told her how I’d been coping, and asked if she might thoughts if I went similarly, Perhaps even documented whatever bizarre quest I was on. She admitted that she’d noticed that my clothes had gotten more and more…whimsical. If I desired to write approximately that—approximately her—she became ok with that.
I reached out to Hiroki. It wasn’t clean—he’s, via layout, difficult to locate. He’s usually on an aircraft, or on an avenue experience without his cell phone, or meeting with the planet’s one armadillo-skin harvester in an undisclosed vicinity. Finally, some weeks after the election, I heard back. He become amenable to the concept of gambling therapist, of trying to dispense a few emotional and/or sartorial advice. He requested if we’d meet in January, in Paris.
