AKKUSUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

Today is a good day. After what seemed like an eternity of waiting compounded by delays and fruitless searching I'VE FINALLY GOT A COPY OF AX!!! Trip report to follow...

Dude... Where's my manga?

I'm not even sure where to start when talking about Kosuke Masuda's Gag Manga Biyori. All sorts of weird characters, historical figures and everything in-between experience crazy shenanigans after being pulled through a Gordian knot of the bizarre logic common to gag manga.

I'm only familiar with this manga from having seen the tiny 5-minute long episodes of the anime (directed by Akitaro Daichi of Sexy Commando fame...) but holy crap do they cram a lot of insanity into those five minutes. It's a pretty hilarious series and I would totally buy it if it was available in English.

fake edit: Couple of quick notes. GMB used to be in Shonen Jump but now it's in Jump Square. The latest season of the GMB anime has changed to full blown 1/2 hour episodes. This action figure of protagonist Shotoku Taishi looks hella rad.

Dive dive DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!

Whoops. I forgot I've been sitting on the last couple of Tokion/Garo comics for quite some time. Here's the last Toyo Kataoka strip... Submarine Family!

Cold n' Crabby...

Oof. It's good to be back. I managed to survive Christmas, a visit from the in-laws and their generous gift to both of us in the form of a matching set of particularly nasty head colds. But that's behind me and now it's a new year with new possibilities, new projects to work on aaaaaand a new episode of Tokyo Flow Chart for you to enjoy! GO! READ IT NOW!!!
