Book 62, 2023

Let the record show that I do not throw this statement around willy or nilly: priest's "Guardian" reminds me of Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service. They're not the same kind of story, but the blocks of their foundation were mined in the same quarry, you know? I apparently love these narratives built on folklore and religion from cultures that are modernly, socially atheist. I don't know if I find them particularly fascinating because they're simply not the stories I grew up with or if it's that European Christian colonialism has resulted in what can feel like a melting pot gumbo of 'fairy taleish' things that in the 21st century are just another piece of pop culture.

No we will not be content with "I just think it's neat". These are the dark consequences of a liberal arts' education.

"Guardian" is really enjoyable even if the mystery elements are not so mysterious to the reader. Zhao Yunlan is a delightful trashman of a detective/cop/intermediate between Heaven and Hell, smoking and drinking and living in his own filth, in addition to being the first danmei protagonist who knows that bisexuality exists. I appreciate his honest horniness. There seems to be a fairly equal push and pull, saviour and savee dynamic between him and his love interest Shen Wei and even the small acknowledgement of 'oh shit maybe this dude is in the closet' and the attempt to dial things back when Shen Wei seems to declare his lack of interest. Zhao Yunlan isn't a disaster bisexual without social awareness.

I hope going forward we get to see more of Zhao Yunlan's squad. So far there are two standouts. The first is the talking fat immortal black cat, Da Qing, who is a talking fat immortal black cat and. Look. One of the most important characters is a black cat who talks and he is immortal and fat and bosses Zhao Yunlan around and makes him microwave tiny sausages and milk. The second is the first character you meet, Guo Changcheng, a normie nepotism hire who is naïve and absurdly goodhearted and afraid of everything, including and especially social interaction, but seems to be finding that his fear of talking to people and his fear of ghosts are slowly cancelling each other out and maybe it's not that hard to talk to ghosts.

Trashman and talking cat investigate ghost crime is a good time, guys.

I just think Stigmata and KCDS/Araiazuki would be a neat crossover ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Two little weirdo detectives bonding over being little weirdo detectives

Numbered List of Manga

I don't really understand what's meant by the X to know me by thing going around, because I thought it was generally agreed that media consumption is not a substitute for personality, but here are 10 (licensed) manga series that stick with me.

Hikaru no Go (Yumi Hotta and Takeshi Obata)

Tokyo Babylon (CLAMP)

KUROSAGI CORPSE DELIVERY SERVICE (Eiji Otsuka and Housui Yamazaki)

From Eroica With Love (Yasuko Aoike)

X-Day (Setona Mizushiro)

Pluto (Naoki Urasawa)

Goodnight Punpun (Inio Asano)

Otherworld Barbara (Moto Hagio)

Banana Fish (Akimi Yoshida)

Berserk (Kentaro Miura)

Hikaru no Go

The first sports manga I read and the gold standard for Shounen Jump sports manga. The slow maturation of Obata's art with Hikaru's character arc compliment each other so perfectly (when he does his own writing I don't have time for Obata), the triangle of skill/interest/desire in Hikaru's relationship with the game, JUST PUTTING A GHOST IN YOUR SPORT SERIES AS A MENTOR TO THE PROTAGONIST -- the natural end of the series is perfect (and not undone by continuing for several more volumes) and I still think about it twenty years later and get teary. Any subject can be engaging in the right hands.

Tokyo Babylon

My age and gender mean not including a CLAMP title would be a lie. It would be like a dude my age denying having seen any Dragon Ball. Tokyo Babylon is my go-to, with the heavy contrast of the art, chunkier and less streamlined than CLAMP's later titles, and the themes of death, environmentalism, and the disconnect between people and the world around them in post-Bubble Tokyo, are things I keep coming back to in contemporary series, and looking back is both nostalgic while showing me how things have improved in terms of what's accessible and considered marketable in North America. There was a time when the idea of Tokyo Babylon being licensed was laughable! And now it's been licensed, published, and had the license lapse MULTIPLE TIMES.

Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service

You should read Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service. Ask me about Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service. It's a kind, primarily episodic horror manga with strong anthropological roots. It's supernatural and incredibly real, with stories dealing with xenophobia, the criminal justice system, homelessness, environmental destruction, war crimes, aging populations and the lack of support, isolation, idol culture, otaku culture, employability after receiving a liberal arts education, urban legends, aliens, the dangers of technological innovation, parental loss, revenge, abortion, infanticide, juvenile offenders, cloning, blackmarket animal imports, the continued military presence in Japan, cryonics, the postal service, immigration, what if Jack the Ripper was a ghost and he possessed a cool thing you had imported and continued his serial killings as a ghost. You should read Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service. Ask me about Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service.

From Eroica With Love

This series started with superpowered teens, including one named LEOPARD SOLID, and Aoike decided that was boring and she made it a series about a British aristocrat with a secret identity as a flamboyant gentleman thief with amazing hair and a sexually charged rivalry with a German intelligence agent who hates him. It's amazing. It needs to be rescued. There's something like 40 volumes. The pope gets stolen. There's a car chase with a tank and a bazooka on the autobahn. It's perfect and outrageous and over-the-top.

X-Day

I love Mizushiro and she's been tragically unrepresented in English licenses (X-Day is an ex-Tokyopop license, for a one-two punch of tragedy). X-Day is about lonely young people connecting on the internet and planning to blow up their school. There was a panel that felt like my depression had been put perfectly, beautifully, heartbreakingly onto the page.

Pluto

Urasawa's one of the greats and Pluto sees him adapting another of the greats into a smart, often sad, science fiction mystery thriller, and I still haven't been able to bring myself to read it a second time, despite it being Urasawa's shortest series.

Goodnight Punpun

Have you ever read something so profoundly raw and honest and recognizable that you had to quit reading it cold turkey? I think about Goodnight Punpun a lot and I stare at it on my shelf and I know I'm still not ready to read the rest of it.

Otherworld Barbara

No one draws the way Hagio does, with lines that look like they will dissolve if you touch them, and she understands that soft, dreamy beauty should be able to encompass things that are hard and violent and bloody because girls love romance and dream realms and clones and question of identity and beautifully androgynous characters with dark starry eyes and cannibalism.

Banana Fish

I have often gone on, at length, about one of the core components of shoujo, especially classic shoujo, being BIG FEELINGS, and the hugeness of the feelings make the events correspondingly BIG AND POWERFUL AND IMPORTANT but Banana Fish ties that with extreme violence and a plot that becomes increasingly Metal Gear Solid, with impossible drugs and mind control and knife fights and snipers and torture hospitals and the American military industrial complex. And then it comes back to feelings. It's another title where you really see the art evolve, which I love, and it's one of those perfect tragedies, where you can feel bad things coming, sometimes see them coming, but there's a rightness in the tragic ending. It hits the catharsis necessary in real, proper tragedies.

Berserk

I resent how superficial readings of Berserk kept me from reading it for so long. Do I love the hyper-violence and the gore and Miura's obsessive attention to the tiniest details in his shitty, blood-soaked world? Yes, of course, it's powerful and visceral and shocking and wild, which makes the hope and the realness of the trauma and how difficult everything is and how exhausting just living is and the cycles the characters are trying to escape from more engaging. Despite everything it isn't constant, grinding misery. It's a series full of sparks of optimism and so much more than BIG MAN BIG SWORD, with hurts more complex than demonic abominations. But the demonic abominations DO look rad as hell.
