Image description: A panel from the webcomic Girl Genius. In it, Gil pours Tarvek a drink, looking concerned. Tarvek, sitting in an armchair, looks shocked.

Gil: What? How?

Tarvek: How does he do anything?! (bolded and italicized)

Gil: I've always assumed that he's so annoying, reality tries to avoid him.

Tarvek: I can believe that! (Bolded and italicized)

End transcript.

This isn't my new favorite panel but it's definitely going up there with "HATE! Hate and drugs! Lovely, lovely drugs!"

Rating: 5/5

Book Blurb: Would you rather wait for love like a flower, or fly toward love like a butterfly? Suiren Shibazeki is often compared to a beautiful flower—but one that grows on the tallest peak of a mountain, forever out of reach. When Suiren develops feelings for the quiet Taichi Kawasumi, however, she doesn’t want to be a distant flower. She’d rather leave her lofty perch and fly toward him like a butterfly. After Kawasumi rescues her from an unwelcome admirer, Suiren finds herself captivated by him. However, Suiren is too shy to speak to anyone, much less this reserved karate boy. What’s more, Suiren isn’t the only one interested in Kawasumi. Will a class trip offer the opportunity to reveal her feelings before it’s too late?

Review:

A supremely charming and sweet story about two shy and introverted individuals who experience falling for each other. Suiren Shibazeki is known as the beautiful flower of the school. She is mysterious, gorgeous, and never really talks. But Suiren has fallen for the quiet Taichi Kawasumi, a karate student who has captured her attention from the moment they meet. Yet both Suiren and Taichi are extremely introverted individuals who are bad at communicating yet the more time they spend together the more this first love is beginning to bloom. This was such a cute story and the first book in the series! I can't wait to read more about this adorable couple!

*Thanks Netgalley and VIZ Media, VIZ Media LLC for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

2023 Most Anticipated Series

The New Year is finally in sight, and with it the hype for new licenced Manga! So here are my Top 5 most anticipated series.

1) The Invisible Man And His Soon-To-Be Wife by Neko Iwatobi from SevenSeas

[ID: English Book cover of The Invisible Man And His Soon To Be Wife by Neko Iwatobi Vol 1. An invisible man in a pin stripe suit and polka dot tie sits on a plush green leather sofa. He reads a book in one hand, and holds the hand of the young woman next to him with the other. The girl has a red/brown bob cut, and wears a long black skirt with a matching black sweater-vest over the top of an untucked cream blouse. Her eyes are closed, and her spare hand grasps her skirt in her lap]

“Yakou Shizuka, a quiet and bashful woman, works at a detective agency. Her boss Tounome, who owns the company, is the gentlemanly type, kind and dapper, though he has an extra talent—he’s invisible! His special ability is perfect for detective work, but he quickly comes to find it doesn’t work on Yakou, who is blind and always knows if he’s near. Charmed, Tounome is determined to get her to date him and isn’t against using his many skills. Yakou’s quirky coworkers, a contrarian human man and a sisterly beastwoman, kindly watch over her as she stumbles and blushes through the uncharted waters of office romance.”

This one seems to really be going under the radar at the moment, which is part of why I’m putting it at number one!

I am always hyped for stories featuring disabled protagonists, and the concept for this series really appeals to me! How him being invisible doesn’t matter to her since she wouldn’t be able to see him anyway, but that doesn’t mean she can’t “see” him in the metaphorical sense! It’s that side of romance I’m always more interested in than anything else. Plus it’s always refreshing to see series that feature actual adults and not just high school kids. It’s what makes me love series like “Knight of the Ice” and “Sweat and Soap” so much! And as I always say, series featuring disabled protagonists falling in love are in no way heteronormative.

I naturally have my concerns. Will this be good representation or simply rely on worn out cliches (such as I fear the comedy manga “Love’s In Sight” will be)? Will the gorgoeus art on the cover actually reflect what we see inside? Will Tounome’s desire for her be respectful or harassment? Will we get some cool mysteries to solve along the way, and not just have it as a weird backdrop for romantic hijinks? My limited googling of the series doesn’t throw up too many answers to this, and I’m hesitant to dive further for fear of spoilers...

It could be good. It could be bad. It could just be perfectly average, but needless to say you will be hearing my opinons on it come February 2023!

2) My Girlfriend’s Child by Mamoru Aoi from SevenSeas

[ID: English cover for “My Girlfriend’s Child” by Mamoru Aoi. Two japanese high schoolers, a boy and a girl, are standing in the falling snow. The boy clasps the girl from behind, his hands resting on her stomach. The girl holds his hands in hers, and looks off into the distance with a nervous expression.]

“A poignant and romantic shojo drama about a teenage couple whose lives are changed forever after a positive pregnancy test.

Sachi and her boyfriend Takara are your average high school couple. They go to school together, hang out, and even engage in the more intimate side of dating. However, as time passes, Sachi starts to get the feeling that something isn’t right and decides to buy a pregnancy test. Later, in the bathroom of a family restaurant far from her home, she sees the two red lines that will change both her and Takara’s life forever…”

Now this one I have seen hype for! I know I just said that I wasn’t that into high school romances, but this one is already completely different to your usual will-they-won’t-they. I love series that deal with real life issues, and take mature stances on difficult topics. I went to what was dubbed the “Teenage Pregnancy School”, so these sort of stories have always felt important to me. I’m especially interested to see it from the Japanese perspective, and whether this will fall into the propergander pit of encouraging everyone to get to baby making ASAP to serve the aging population, or actually show the real life social, physical and emotional struggles these kids are going to be going through as young parents!

3) Like a Butterfly by suu Morishita from Viz Media/Shojo Beat

[ID: Japanese cover for Like a Butterfly Vol 1 by suu Morishita. A manga style water colour drawing of a japanese school girl with very long pink/brown hair. A small butterfly the same colour as her hair sits in the top left hand corner. She has a wide eyed and nervous expression, as though worried over what you’re about to say.]

“Would you rather wait for love like a flower, or fly toward love like a butterfly? Suiren Shibazeki is often compared to a beautiful flower—but one that grows on the tallest peak of a mountain, forever out of reach. When Suiren develops feelings for the quiet Taichi Kawasumi, however, she doesn’t want to be a distant flower. She’d rather leave her lofty perch and fly toward him like a butterfly. After Kawasumi rescues her from an unwelcome admirer, Suiren finds herself captivated by him. But Suiren is too shy to speak to anyone, much less this reserved boy. What’s more, Suiren isn’t the only one with feelings for Kawasumi! Will a class trip offer the opportunity to reveal her feelings before it’s too late?”

LOOK. Okay LOOK. This has every markings of your usual high school shojo romance with nothing to give beyond some warm fuzzies. But I love “A Sign of Affection” with all my gosh-darn heart and am having fun reading “Shortcake cake”. I will read any Morishita you put in front of me and getting to have another of their early works in print is making me smile big time!

Again, will it be anymore than what it says on the tin? Only time will tell. But know that I will be clicking that pre-order button just as soon as it becomes available in the UK!

4) Do Not Say Mystery by Yumi Tamura from SevenSeas

[ID: Japanese cover of “Do No Say Mystery” Volume 1 by Yumi Tamura. It features a head and shoulders image of a japanese man with large amounts of curly black hair. He is wearing a dark brown turtle neck underneath a light brown/yellow dufflecoat.]

“A quirky, award-winning mystery manga from the shojo powerhouse creator of Basara and 7SEEDS–inspired a live-action series!

Totonou is a young man who stands out–partly for his bushy hair, partly for his finely honed abilities of observation and deduction. When Totonou is accused of murder, he puts his skills to work delving into the lives of the cops investigating him and uses his insights to find the real murderer. After clearing his name, all Totonou wants to do is return to his laidback, mundane life, but he can’t help but be drawn into one mystery after another. In his own blunt but gentle way, Totonou is just trying to make sense of a chaotic world.”

Honestly, I have seen nothing BUT hype for this series! On the outskirts, it doesn’t really have anything to appeal to me beyond some intresting artwork. My Mum’s the one who’ll watch any sort of murder that happens on an island, not me. However, it has been regularly topping the japanese charts for the past five years yet has only just now gotten an english release? And in omnibus format at that! Whether the series will actually hold my personal attention it is yet to be known, but at the very least I’m excited to see what the english speaking internet makes of the series and if it lives up to their expectations.

5) Long Lost Pals Living Their Breast Life by Tamaki Nao from Irodori Aqua

[ID: English cover for Long-Last Pals Living Their Breast Life by Tamaki Nao. An adult man and a woman stand back to back, thir arms hooked together. He has dark hair, square glasses and a strong physique that gives him big tits in the muscle sense. Meanwhile she has brown/orange hair and big tits in the sacks of yellow fat sense. His expression is stoic but nervous, whilst hers is bright and bubbly. In the bottom corner is a small chibi style image of them as children running along hand in hand, him looking like he’s about to cry in fear whilst she is excited and reassuring.]

You’ve heard of meet cute, but reunite cute? Now that they’re both grown up, newly swole Shun visits his old friend Nana after an extended absence hoping to put a (figurative) stake in the heart of his one-time first love. But it looks like neither of these tiddy monsters is ready to let go! Join our hilariously awkward (maybe?) couple as they (hopefully!?) begin to bumble their way into an adorable relationship!

Did I MAYBE include this one just for the shock factor? Perhaps. But you give a series a name like that, and I’m GOING to be interested! I’d love to tell you all about how we should be supporting indy publishers who work directly with creators, and how Doujin isn’t just fanfic and BL, but let’s be honest. This is entirely here for the pun. I’ve also seen a few screenshots floating around from twitter and it does seem like a genuinely cute manga! But honestly, so long as I get some puns and some hijinks i’ll be happy! My anticipation is high, but my expectations are low, which hopefully will only lead to happiness. Right?
