Gonna word dump about my lancer mech idea cuz it's been on my break brain for a while.

Gigant Maxia: A runic mech from Luna1. Owned and nutured by a small religious tribe that worships the lunar rock of Luna. The pilot is a young priest in their association. She was chosen when the Gigant resonated with her crowning her the chosen one of her covet. Having the Gigant resonate with your being is a spiritual honour and after awakening the dormant beast she now travels searching for the Crimson Luna Tear, an amulet that when returned to Luna will restore her monasteries society to greatness as the true people of Luna and will protect their people for eternity.

The mech design itself takes large inspiration from the Giganto Maxia from Kentaro Miuras oneshot manga. Amongst the holy soldiers of Luna1 many pilot smaller versions of the mech made in its likeness known as Minor Maxia. Much smaller but deadly mechs. Gonna try draw up some designs soon and work on my character sheet properly.

Best Selling Short Manga Series of All Time

The thing about the Manga Industry is it just keeps growing every year. Even if you are not a frequent manga reader, you surely must have heard of some of the most famous manga. One Piece, Demon Slayer, etc have been made into one of the best anime, and everybody knows that these are adapted or made from manga.

It is also known that manga or their adaptations are very lengthy stories that take a huge amount of time to cover as there will be hundreds of episodes to get to an end. Even for avid readers or watchers, sometimes it would have become boring or it might just be too much to take in. And for starters, it might even be unbearable for them to start a series that long.

So, to not be overwhelmed by the length, it is best recommended for starters to read the short manga. Unlike traditional manga, these short stories can even be covered in just one sitting for most readers and they are quite refreshing.

Here are some of the best short manga to read:

Giganto Maxia by Kentaro Miura

Kentaro Miura is one of the greatest mangaka of all time. He became famous due to his epic dark fiction work Berserk. While Berserk is a long manga loved almost immediately by anyone who reads it, Giganto Maxia is a short manga that is nowhere near the epic of Berserk. Still, it is one of the best short manga of all time.

Readers who have read Berserk usually might not like this manga as the expectations will be very high knowing it came from the same mangaka. But, keeping your expectations low while starting to read this manga is recommended. This manga is one of the best works of Miura in terms of art.

Coming to the story is set on Earth, 100 million years after the Great Destruction. The life on this Earth hangs on survival with humans, demi-humans, and massive creatures roaming the Earth. As the Empire of Olympus is using colossal beasts to crush their enemies, only Gladiator Delos, mystic Prome, and the Titan Gohra are the hope to stop a massive genocide.

2. Dororo by Osamu Tezuka

Set in the Warning States period in Japan, Daigo Kagemitsu, a local lord with an ambition to rule the world, promises to deliver 48 of his body parts to demons to fulfill his dream. When a boy is born, he delivers his son’s body parts to the demons and throws him in the river. The boy is named Hyakkimaru and he later goes on a journey to kill the demons and regain his body parts. In the middle of the journey, he is met with a young thief named Dororo and together they go through their own arcs.

While, it has been remade into a TV series and other mediums of great length, the original book by Osamu Tezuka is a short anime consisting of only 4 volumes. It is definitely one of the must read short manga series.

Here are 15 manga like Attack on Titan you can read to fill the void #manga #attackontitan #ShingekinoKyojin

Attack on Titan is a manga-turned anime, video game, and two live-action movies that have become one favorite among the manga and anime community. Maybe it’s because of its apocalyptic scenarios, depiction of human nature, brutal carnage, unusual shounen protagonist, or survival horror, it’s a series that always felt different from most. And now with the manga concluded and the anime not far…

... better than Berserk

#kentaro miura #giganto maxia

[manga-and-stuff]

hello! sorry to disturb you but i'm looking for a manga or indie comic idk can't remember, i don't have much details and honestly can't remember anything at all really since it was so long ago but it was about some guardian protecting a goddess who i think had taken on the form of young girl in a world where demons, spirts, mortals and gods something like that i think. one of the panels i remember was the girl on the guardians back while he stands on a pill of souls? or demons i think and it kind reminds me of berserk art style. i cant remember if it was colored or not uh i sorry again that's all the info i have.

That sounds an awful lot like Giganto Maxia by Kentaro Miura, who also made Berserk.

I really don't recommend reading it, though, it covers some very questionable topics, and it could ruin Miura and by extension Berserk for you. It almost did for me...

So when someone says that those drawings are just things that pop up in their mind and that they want to draw, I want to pause and understand that hah. The above at least could indicate that Kyo read the Giganto Maxia manga by the author of Berserk, although the elephants are in fact heads only and are a mix with pulps.

If someone knows why the fire-breathing giraffe, the scaredy cat and the speeding car are CONSTANTLY in his mind and what they represent, please enlighten me!

#probably just winks at us at this point #they are staples of his art #like when he goes to radio shows with Takumi and that he has five minutes for an autograph #he automatically resorts to drawing those three things and leaves little room for his bandmate to sign hahah #still wish to know what they meant or represented originally #京 #kyo #sukekiyo #dir en grey #DirengreySP #livestream #manga #inspiration #drawing

[demifiendrsa]

Kentarō Miura, manga creator of Berserk, has passed away on May 6, 2021 at age 54 due to acute aortic dissection. 

Miura was born on July 11, 1966 in Chiba prefecture to parents who were both artists. His father did storyboards for commercials, and his mother taught art. In 1973, at the age of 7, he began experimenting with drawing in a notebook. His family moved often when he was young, so drawing was a way for him to make new friends. In 1976, at the age of 10, Miura created his first manga, Miuranger, for his classmates at a primary school. In 1977, Miura used India ink for the first time when he created his second manga, Ken e no michi. In 1979, Miura's drawing techniques improved greatly as he started using professional drawing techniques when he was in middle school. In 1982, Miura enrolled in an artistic curriculum in high school, where he met life-long friends and fellow manga artists Shizuya Wazarai (Cestus) and Mori Kouji (Holy Land and Suicide Island). In the same year, Miura published his first doujinshi for a fanzine with the help of his friends. 

In 1985, Miura created and submitted a sci-fi one-shot manga, Futatabi.... (Once More…), as his application to the Nihon University College of Art, which got him his admission into the college. The one-shot would later be published in an issue of Weekly Shōnen Magazine, which earned him a nomination as Best New Author. In the same year, he created another sci-fi one-shot manga, NOA, in an issue of Fresh Shōnen Magazine. Miura also worked as a short-term assistant to Hajime no Ippo creator George Morikawa’s first weekly series, Kazuya Now, during their time in college.

In 1988, Miura published the 48-page one-shot, Berserk prototype, in an issue of Hakusensha's Monthly Comicomi magazine, which earned him second place at the 7th ComiComi's Manga-School prize. Miura launched the full serialization of Berserk, which would become his most known and successful work, in the October 1989 issue of Hakusensha's Monthly Animal House magazine. The series later moved to Hakusensha's Young Animal magazine in 1992 for the remaining of its serialization until his death. The series has been collected in 40 volumes with over 50 million copies in circulation, including digital versions. In 2002, Miura received the Award for Excellence for his work on Berserk at the 6th annual Tezuka Cultural Prize. He also contributed the series in different media and merchandise such as anime, video games, a trading card game, and a novel by writing scripts, supervising, creating and designing original characters, and illustrating original artwork. He also released various art books and supplemental materials based on Berserk.

Miura collaborated with Fist of the North Star writer Buronson on several manga such as King of Wolves (Oh-Roh), its sequel Legend of the Wolf King (Oh-Roh Den), and Japan. He also illustrated the designs for Kamui Gakupo (Gackpoid), a vocaloid character based on Japanese actor and musician Gackt. In 2013, Miura launched the short sci-fi manga, Giganto Maxia in Young Animal. In 2019, he created and produced his recent work, Duranki, with his Studio Gaga in the inaugural issue of Hakusensha's Young Animal Zero.

My Week in Manga: February 13-February 19, 2017

My News and Reviews

Hooray! I managed to write and post another in-depth review at Experiments in Manga. Even if I’m not writing as much as I once was, it still feels pretty good to get back into the (slow) swing of things. Anyway, last week I took a look at Jen Lee Quick’s dark fantasy Western Gatesmith, Volume 1. The comic is off to an intriguing start though it can also be a little frustrating. The series is currently on break, but I hope that there will be more soon.

As many people are probably aware, the prolific and versatile mangaka Jiro Taniguchi passed away earlier this month. Despite not being particularly well known in English, a fair number of his manga have been released in translation. Kate Dacey of The Manga Critic has a nice guide to Taniguchi’s work for those interested in what is currently available. At The Comics Journal, Taniguchi was the subject of a recent article by Joe McCulloch and an obituary written by Zack Davisson. Other comic sites like The Beat have recently honored Taniguchi as well. I’ve read most but not quite all of Taniguchi’s work in English, my personal favorites being A Distant Neighborhood and his collaboration with Baku Yumemakura The Summit of the Gods. Way back when there was a Manga Moveable Feast devoted to Taniguchi, too. Some of the links are no longer work, but many of the features can still be tracked down.

In happier news, SuBLime announced three new licenses last week: Akane Abe’s Am I In Love or Just Hungry? (digital-only), Scarlet Beriko’s Jackass!, and Tsuta Suzuki’s A Strange and Mystifying Story. (I’m very curious about Jackass! and I’m very happy about A Strange and Mystifying Story which is actually a license rescue. The first three of seven volumes were originally published in English by Digital Manga; I remember quite liking them.) The Toronto Comic Arts Festival has started announcing its featured guests for the year which will include Gengoroh Tagame among other fantastic creators. The OASG talked to Kodansha Comics about the licensing of Chihayafuru. While still probably unlikely, a print edition of the series isn’t completely off the table. As for Kickstarter campaigns for queer comics that have recently caught my attention, Megan Lavey-Heaton has launched a project to print the third volume of Namesake.

Quick Takes

The Box Man by Imiri Sakabashira. The North American manga industry is primarily focused on publishing more popular, mainstream works, but occasionally an alternative or independent work is released as well. The Box Man was originally serialized in Ax, an alternative manga magazine in Japan which was the basis for the Ax: Alternative Manga English-language anthology. Examples of Sakabashira’s work can be found in that anthology and in the earlier collection Sake Jock, but The Box Man is his first long-form work to be translated. Granted, there’s very little dialogue that actually needs to be translated–for the most part the manga is an entirely visual experience. Even the story is fairly limited in scope. The narrative follows a kappa-like cat accompanying a man on a scooter who is transporting a box which turns out to contain something rather peculiar. The strangeness of The Box Man doesn’t end there, but the point of the manga seems to be less about telling a story and more about creating a visual spectacle. The artwork incorporates popular culture references (some of which I’m sure I completely missed) and at times can be rather bizarre, violent, or erotically-charged.

Blood Blockade Battlefront, Volumes 1-7 by Yasuhiro Nightow. I wasn’t initially planning on reading Blood Blockade Battlefront–I wasn’t a huge fan Nightow’s Trigun–but I kept hearing great things about the anime adaptation and then I came across a “complete” set of the manga on super sale, so I picked it up. The series is actually ten volumes long; supposedly Dark Horse has plans to release the final three at some point. In general the manga tends to be fairly episodic, so even if the rest of the series isn’t translated at least readers aren’t left with an unresolved story. It wasn’t until partway through the second volume of Blood Blockade Battlefront that the series started to click with me, but once it did I found myself really enjoying the manga. Its mix of goofy everyday life and action-heavy sequences actually reminded me a bit of Cowboy Bebop. The manga is essentially about a semi-secret group of monster hunters working in what used to be New York before it was destroyed by the sudden appearance of an interdimensional portal. The character designs of the main cast are sadly simple and plain compared to the series’ fantastic setting and creatures, but their distinctive personalities mostly make up for that.

Giganto Maxia by Kentaro Miura. Though it certainly has its problems, Miura’s Berserk is one of my favorite series. I have been significantly less enamored with the other manga by Miura that have been released in English–specifically his collaborations with Buronson Japan and King of Wolves–but I was still very curious about Giganto Maxia. Whether it’s intentional or not, the dark fantasy manga shares some similarities with Attack on Titan and Terra Formars and also appears to be heavily influenced by professional wrestling. Miura’s artwork in Giganto Maxia is tremendous but the story, while it isn’t awful, struggles to match the caliber of the illustrations. I almost wonder if Giganto Maxia was originally intended to be longer than a single volume since so much about the manga’s world and characters are left unexplained in the end. Giganto Maxia does more or less tell a complete story, but it feels like a single episode taken from the middle of a larger narrative. At one time a slave forced to battle to the death in a gladiatorial arena, Delos is now fighting against the empire itself. Joining forces with Prome, a powerful spirit who takes the form of a young girl (and who is constantly trying to get him to drink her “nectar” ), Delos can transform into the mythic titan Gohra in order to do battle.

Lake Jehovah by Jillian Fleck. Lake Jehovah, Fleck’s debut graphic novel, first came to my attention due to the fact that Jay, the comic’s protagonist, is genderqueer. While themes of identity, gender, and sexuality are integral to the comic’s story they aren’t the primary focus of Lake Jehovah. Instead, the comic is about the end of the world, both literally and figuratively. Human civilization has already succumbed to multiple apocalypses but Jay unexpectedly becomes the prophet for the next impending disaster while dealing with even more personal and existential crises. Jay struggles with intense depression and anxiety which slowly destroys xis relationship with xis fiance. Eventually she leaves, no longer able to cope with Jay’s instability, and Jay is left recover and come to terms with everything alone. Lake Jehovah actually handles the topic of mental illness better than many other comics I’ve read. It’s an emotionally tumultuous work, tempering despair with humor as the characters search for meaning in their lives even while everything is falling apart around them. Some turn to sex or drugs while others find comfort in poetry or art. Lake Jehovah is a somewhat strange but undeniably compelling comic.
