My manga collection (October 2023)

I did a post detailing my manga collection back in 2021, but it's grown a lot since then so I figured I'd make a new post! It was also a good time to do so because we're repainting my room and while there's usually a ton of anime merch in front of the books on my shelves, now it's all been packed up. So there's a clear look at the books without me having to move anything, lol.

I don't know how I would answer this (and there's a couple of them I haven't read yet), but I'm curious about everyone else's thoughts:

[officialpenisenvy]

can i get some manga recs? u always seem to talk about rlly good ones

omg im so bad at giving manga recs so off the cuff. i adore kyoko okazaki's works such as pink, helter skelter, river's edge and tokyo girls bravo, she has such an interesting style and is amazing at building realistic well-rounded female characters, as well as imbuing all her stories with a sense of magic and surrealism despite being very grounded in reality most of the time. not simple by natsume ono is a lovely manga about an abused child's desperate journey into adulthood, and it's one of those stories where the less you know about it going in the better. copernicus no kokyuu by asumiko nakamura has some of the most breathtaking art ive ever seen in a manga not from the 1970s, and it's exactly the type of homosexual ephebe melodrama i so desperately adore. moto hagio's marginal and a cruel god reigns are also homosexual ephebe dramas, the former a postapocalyptic mpreg scenario and the latter a more straightforward and very psychological story about child sexual abuse within the family. such themes are also present in ryoko yamagishi's short stories, of which one MUST read yasha gozen; if you're into horror i can't not recommend kanako inuki and of course kazuo umezu, as well as the nishioka siblings' kami no kodomo. and of course usamaru furuya is the master of underground manga, plastic girl being his most unique work! this is such a limited and abridged list im sure, it's just the first few mangaka that popped up in my mind, but feel free to add more recs in the replies — and if you've already read these or want something more niche you can probably ask ari, he's got SUCH a wealth of knowledge about niche manga that he makes me look like a shonen jump reader in comparison.

Jelena Lengold: KAZUO IŠIGURO - SLIKAR PROLAZNOG SVETA

Ne volim da prepričavam romane koje sam pročitala. Umesto toga, više volim utiske. Pa zato, evo na početku jednog odlomka iz pogovora koji je napisala Gordana B. Todorović, prevodilac, a koji će vam u najkraćem reći o čemu se u ovoj knjizi radi: „Kroz sećanje na neslavne detalje iz svog života, slikar Masuđi Ono preispituje svoju ulogu u državnom propagandnom mehanizmu tokom Drugog svetskog rata.…

An Artist of the Floating World by Kazuo Ishiguro: Book review

This might be his slightest novel, weighing it at only 205 pages, but it’s his densest. Another unreliable narrator – an old Japanese painter and teacher – Masuji Ono tells part of his life story, often repetitively (maybe he has dementia) and full of false modesty. He’s actually an arrogant old fuck. It’s set in an unnamed Japanese city between 1948 and 1950 as the Empire is setting about post…

[talesofpassingtime]

The best things, he always used to say, are put together of a night and vanish with the morning. What people call the floating world, Ono, was a world Gisaburo knew how to value.’

— Kazuo Ishiguro, An Artist of the Floating World 

[asecondglassofcinnamonwine]

An Artist of the Floating World by Kazuo Ishiguro

Masuji Ono is a man in his sunset years in just-post-WWII Japan, and the sharp pivot in the Overton window is doing his head in. His younger daughter hopes to get married, his older daughter is raising her first child, and what Masuji got up to in the war years is the unspoken elephant in the room.

My first Ishiguro, definitely not my last. I do kind of wonder what this book is like for a Westerner who has had less exposure to Japanese social customs than I have had, and I’m no expert.

[beesmygod]

this performance of one of the founders of the movement, kazuo ono, called "the dead sea" is so captivating to watch

i learned about butoh theater like a week ago and now its the only thing i care about, unfortunately.

hiring a dancer to come in and be as unsettling as possible for like 30 minutes
