Why you should read physical mangas?

Reading physical manga (as opposed to digital manga) can provide a number of benefits, such as: - The feel of the paper and the cover art can create a more immersive reading experience. - Physical manga can be collected and displayed on a bookshelf, which can be a source of pride and enjoyment for fans. - Some people prefer the look of traditional print books to screens, and find reading physical books more comfortable. - Reading physical manga can also be a way to support the creators and publishers of the manga. - Some people find reading physical books to be more satisfying and helps to increase focus and concentration. Ultimately, whether you choose to read physical or digital manga is a personal preference. Both formats have their own unique benefits, and it's up to the reader to decide which one they prefer.

Got more Mangas from the local Mangashop and I think my haul is good

The Yu Gi Oh stuff is a reprint but was a cheap combined volume and of the earlier story. Chapter 52-78 (that's further than I had read so far I believe actually)

Otherwise I got a first Edition of Kenshin Volume 20

Four Volumes of NHK 1-3, 7

And got another pre 2000 Manga, brain powered Vol 1

[vagabundler]

📚🦹 Comic fans and manga connoisseurs will surely understand the next one. In Okoyama we were amazed with the greatest anime in its original form, scripts in Japanese, and a wealth of unique footage and impassioned smorgasbord. By chance we found the store ���Movie Adventure Shop“ by SHINICHI YOSHITOMI in a side street. Especially the original soundtrack of Battleship Yamato immediately got us hooked and we discovered a small gold mine with collectors‘ treasures from 40 years of film and comic history. - Okayama - [JAPAN🇯🇵] _____________________________________________ . . ↘️ Countrypage with Reportages & Interviews: https://vagabundler.com/japan ↗️ . _____________________________________________ #comic #manga #anime #movieadventureshop #japan #okayama #japanart #nippon #nipponart #illustration #nostalgicart #odyseey2001 #vagabundler #pricessmononoke #spiritedaway #starwars #returnofthejedi #cartoon #comicart #superhero #comiclibrary #comicshop #mangashop #japanmangas #cosplay #comicbook #comicsart #animeworld #comiccover #japancomics (hier: Okayama-shi, Okayama, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/ComVvi2L5VD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[icharchivist]

Would you share an awkward/embarrassing yet funny story with us?

my whole life is awkward and embarrassing, take a pick

I have no idea what prompted this ask but i’ve also never really shyed away from all those i think.

There’s a few i can think of i’ve already mentioned once or twice on my blog (two stories involving two very different mangashop, the fight and the internship stories) but if anything... 

Okay i have a lot of very dumb stories that are ways too embarassing, but one that isn’t too bad - once we had a Sociological & Economy exam and I hated the hell out of that class and i didn’t study anyway and my best friend, who was sitting next to me, hadn’t either, and we were both guuuh over it. 

And, because it was our thoughtprocess At All Time (we were famous with the teachers for being some chaotic likeable disasters) we were singing to ourselves this german song (The Schnapi) (i remind that we are French) and we were laughing so hard about it that before the exam happened, so we dared each other “hey let’s write the chorus (in german) under our names”

Which we did. 

But we didn’t stop there because my friend, oh so clever, then turned to me and told me “hey do you remember the Willy Wonka’s intro song” (from the Burton’s movies) and so i wrote it down for her on the table. And she looked at me and went “i’m going to write it in my exam.” And I went, okay, fair enough, i’m game.

So basically we made a cheatset there for this bullshit and we both decided to completely bullshit our exams, like i think i’ve mentioned in my test that the fall of sells from a shellshop was because the shells had rebelled against humanity and all. 

And there was a big essay we were supposed to write about basically how market could be affected by different factors and such, so i super seriously wrote about the economy of Wonderland and the fact the Mad Hatter couldn’t continue his business while all head were being cut down right? And my friend wrote a full story about the Willy Wonka factory and how the workers decided to rebel (here she put on the song) and threw Willy Wonka into a chocolate thing and cooked him and the economy prospered thanks to canibalism.

And we’ve actually turned in our exams. With those bullshits written on it. All seriously.

To say that we failed this class would be an understatement but that was without thinking about the fact the Teacher well. had Questions. And when he turned in back all the copies, we were kind of flustered thinking about what the hell have we done, and the teacher said loudly that he wanted to see us after class for our copy.

By then most of the class knew what we had done because we were a very gossiping class. a few people actually waited outside hoping to hear what the teacher told us.

that was super embarassing and very difficult not to be laughing at his face considering he was a really, really sweet guy, we just really sucked and had zero self control and he didn’t know us well by then. 

Because see there’s that too: others teachers did know us well and laughed with us a lot over our bullshits, but he didn’t know us. So when he ended up receiving those bullshits of exams he went to see our main teacher who did. copies. of the exams and spread them around with our teachers. We had our cinema teachers at least laughing their asses off hearing about it because “yeah of course those two would do that”

But more embarassingly that i’ve heard in another class is that before he gave us back our copies, he actually stopped by one of his class which had a German student and he asked her to translate what we wrote in German under our names, thinking it was a code or an insult toward him. And the girl had to read us basically writting nonsense and say “no i mean it’s from the song about the little crocodile, i have no idea why though”. But we’ve learnt about that bc we had a friend in this class who knew it was us and she obviously went to tell us right away that “huh he’s asking around why you wrote in german in your copies”

I don’t even remember how we explained it to the teacher, he let us go by having us retake a serious exam instead and i mean i don’t even think we passed this one by being serious (was better than our original grades but that said with our bullshit exams at least my friend got a better grade than a friend who studied and SHE didn’t repass her exam so yaknow)

But therefore by the end of the year our teachers had organized a picnic to celebrate the end of the year and such and we all gathered and there was our Economy teacher there - there was our Cinema and Main teachers i think, all who knew us a little more and all - but so for the picnic the teachers were going around laughing and joking with us, i’m pretty sure our Main teacher mentioned something to us about the exam incident but a ha ha ah,

and anyway so still with my friend we’re doing our usual stuff we kept doing by all time which was to go through our favorite OST of movies (like i think we sang “It’s tough to be a God” from El Dorado in French for hours) and at some point we had the “wait what are the lyrics of La Carioca again” and so we were sat on the grass, looking at the lyrics on my phone and singing them (and it’s a french song but i really need to mention it’s one of the dumbest song ever from one of the best dumb French comedy, it’s the best thing ever) and we were dancing sat down, y’know the usual

Until we suddenly catch our economy teacher, who was talking music with others students nearby us, and heard him go “no girls i do like your music there, aT LEAST YOURS ISN’T COMPLETELY STUPID” and we’ve suddenly felt that he was looking at us, middance singing La Carioca, also knowing VERY WELL he was judging us for the German song. 

I’m almost certain then he talked to us and went “so it wasn’t just a stupid prank, you’re both just like that H24.” and i still have nO IDEA what it is supposed to mean but wELL. I GUESS.He didn’t hold any grudge it seems. He kept copies though.  He apparently talked about those weird exams he got to some of his others classes so huh. Legacy and all.

Anyway since then i’ve heard that a few teachers had actually kept copies of those exams so there was no escaping the fact everyone in this highschool knew we were That Dumb. (i mean people knew bc we were doing crack movies for our cinema courses that was projected during a week and all, but that was a specific brand of dumb).

So basically this is perhaps the Peak Dumbass from my Highschool years which means a lot because we were.. doing this sort of things a lot, it just happens that this one time it happened against a teacher who wasn’t used to it and it backfired.

I have no idea if this is the sort of stories you hoped to find but here it is: peak of my life, 15yo me being an idiot. Hope you at least enjoyed the read.

I wish you well ;O

Marker Study (continued)

So a while back I had posted a blog article on a marker study of sorts, andnoted that the markers were smearing the lineart I did in Higgins ink. I was looking at the tags of those who reblogged my post and noticed the reblog by @nonbinary-aigis​ mentioned that Higgins has a tendency to be easily dissolved by markers in general.

It got me thinking about other types of inks on the market and how well they stand up to marker ink. So I did some more trial-and-error research on the subject.

I had the following inks in my drawing arsenal:

Faber-Castell PITT (small tip): water-based India Ink. Website mentions this ink is acid-free and pH neutral.

Marvy Uchida LePen: alcohol-based ink. Website mentions this ink as being as acid-free.

Japanhome: Ink composition unknown. Probably not a high-brand pen since I bought this when I was on a trip in Hong Kong in a shop equivalent to one of those dollar-based stores (ie., the price was pretty cheap). I don’t think they sell these in the Western hemisphere. Pen design is free-flowing ink in a plastic barrel, ball-point tip.

Pilot G-2 05: gel ink (which means the ink is a pigment suspended in a water-based solution and contains thickeners).

Higgins Calligraphy waterproof black ink: Pigment suspension (liquid composition unknown). NOTE: This was the ink I had used in my first marker study. I had originally thought this was India Ink, but apparently Higgins has a separate product labeled India Ink. 

Deleter-Mangashop Black 1 ink: Ink composition unknown. As you can probably figure out, this type of ink was specifically designed for manga artists in mind, and the Black 1 version is one of the best sellers. Website mentions this ink is good with alcohol-based markers. 

Tom Norton Walnut Drawing ink: Water-based ink intended for sepia-based drawings. Not real walnut ink, just a well-designed replica. It’s slightly alkaline, having a pH of 8.8. Website mentions ink being lightfast.

Higgins Pigment-based ink (Carmine Red): Pigment suspension (liquid composition unknown).

Higgins Dye-based ink (Carmine Red): Dye dissolved in (unknown) liquid composition.

I put them up against the following coloring tools:

Marvy Uchida LePlume: alcohol-based marker with brush tip

Faber-Castell PITT (Brush Tip): water-based marker, but with composition similar to India Ink.

Waterbrush pen: These types of refillable pens are intended to act like paintbrushes. They have a nylon tip. I’m using just regular tap water here.

Crayola color pencil: color pencil with a fairly soft lead

TriC Art Performance: water-based marker with brush tip

Sargent color pencil: color pencil with a fairly hard lead

Test Results:

Study was done on a piece of cardstock. Ink was allowed to dry overnight. Coloring tools were then passed over the ink lines four times to simulate an overkill-coloring scenario:

I think it comes as no surprise that the Faber-Castell PITT and Marvy Uchida LePen pens were pretty resistant to everything thrown at it. These were designed for line art, after all. The Higgins Pigment and Higgins Dye inks also seem to stand up pretty well, too (though the line art does not look as clean in comparison of PITT and LePen)

But I found that certain inks smear for some coloring tools and not others, even if the base liquid composition is the same. This is the case for Japanhome pen and Walnut ink, which were resistant to everything but the waterbrush while resistant to the water-based markers. This makes me think that these inks will resist a small amount of water, but a large amount of water will eventually loosen up the ink enough that it will bleed. In other words: water-resistant but not water-proof.

Other things I’ve observed:

1) Pilot G-2 was resistant to everything but the waterbrush, and slightly smears when exposed to the Faber-Castell PITT pen. The case for the waterbrush is likely the same as that of the Japanhome pen and Walnut ink (ie., water-resistant but not water-proof). As for the PITT pen, I have a feeling that there probably is a co-solvent or other chemical in the PITT that partially dissolves the Pilot G-2 ink (India Inks in general have a different composition than other aqueous-based black inks).

2) Higgins Calligraphy just... smears for nearly everything. The Crayola color pencil was the only one that did not damage the ink line.

That being said, the smears are kind of small. It takes more than one pass before any smear appears. My sneaking suspicion is that the amount of pigment in Higgins Calligraphy ink is rather high, and the binder of Higgins Calligraphy is just not able to hold down the pigment very well, such that excessive force can cause the ink to smear.

3) Mangashop-Deleter 1 was resistant to alcohol-based markers (as the website mentions) but was not resistant to water-based coloring tools. To note: there is a version, Deleter 4, which is designated as being water-proof and good for use with alcohol markers, so I think if you’re into using a combination of water-based and alcohol-based mediums on the same lineart, you’ll probably want to get Deleter 4.
