List of Year 24 complete manga work in English or Italian

I made this list mainly to myself, but you can easily use it too. I am on a mission to read every Year 24 group manga available, so here I collected:

licensed manga (in English and Italian)

online scans

Every licensed manga has a the name of the publisher too, and you might find the Italian translation easier than the Japanese.

I added an "online" to the ones you can definitely find scanned online. Every title is linked to where to read the story nearby, keep in mind these websites come and go and might have ads.

If you see a licensed title in italics it means that the manga cannot be found anywhere online and scanned (and translated). Or that some short stories in the collection (if it is a collection) cannot be found anywhere online and scanned.

Let's start!

The authors are (in order): Moto Hagio, Keiko Takemiya, Riyoko Ikeda, Ryoko Yamagishi, Yasuko Aoike, Yumiko Ooshima, Minori Kimura, Kihara Toshie.

The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses

Komura starts his school year with a new seat neighbour in homeroom—the bespectacled Mie. Before long, he’s nursing a raging crush on his quirky classmate who’s always forgetting her glasses! While this might be ideal for Komura to get to know Mie better, will his poor heart give out from the daily strain of being up close and personal with the girl he likes?!

Recurring themes in 2023: my year of lesbian and yuriful manga

Doing this a little different when summarizing 2023. Since I stuck to my decision to not start buying any new licensed series and mainly did cultural catchup for both english and japanese manga I didn't really read enough hot new releases in 2023 for them to warrant a list of their own as they usually do. So to catch up on the months without a roundup as well as a year end summary I will do some themed lists!

The first came to easy since a noticeable trend was how much lesbian and yuri manga i made time for. For clarity I make a subjective distinction of lesbian and yuri works, just as some works I'm more inclined to describe as a Gay or LGBT story rather than a BL if it wasn't published in a BL imprint or invests time to do cultural or social commentary. Now to the list:

Among my favorite lesbian manga read in 2023 are: The Girl That Can't Get A Girlfriend by Mieri Hiranishi Moonlight Flowers by Mutsumi Tsukumo Indigo Blue by Ebine Yamaji Umibe no Kain by Minori Kimura

I won't reiterate too much as I already talked about it in a roundup but Hiranishi gave an extremely refreshing perspective on being a woman who loves masculine women, the dark story of her first heartbreak and the path forward. Love that Viz took the initiative to give her a graphic novel edition and promote her platform by licensing The Girl That Can't Get a Girlfriend. I've always found women's manga to be a not that secret treasure trove of lesbian stories yet I hadn't read the classic that is Moonlight Flowers... Just a truly suspenseful and romantic story of lesbian love as liberation and freedom that I can't recommend enough. Just with a clear warning of depictions of intimate partner violence that could be upsetting.

Yamaji has a well known track record of exploring lesbianism as well as bisexuality and I think Indigo Blue was extremely interesting in its explooration of the protagonist and her journey to figuring out what she wants as she's caught between two relationships. Another story of a woman's journey to confront who she is and what she wants: Umibe no Cain was a rather heartbreaking story of a young woman seeking refuge with a woman older than herself and as they start forming a frienfdship she begins to face the hurt and trauma she faced from her mother. But as the two women grow closer their relationship might take a turn that they can't come back from.

In the yuri-ish category: Kimi no Kureru Mazui Ame by Kaiko Fuyumushi OL to Ningyo by Mai Shiba

Won't reiterate too much of Kimi no Kureru Mazui Ame as I already talked about it in a roundup but love bite sized depictions of a miserable adolescence and toxic yuri but not quite. And if you found yourself taken by the more supernatural stories in this collection then may I recommend OL to Ningyo? Described by the author themselves as yuri-ish this collection depicts the bonds of human girls and their non-human counterparts. Humans, vampires, tengu, mermaid, and oni all face their own challenges and conflicts both romantic and otherwise.

In the Now That's What I Call Yuri category: Natsu to Lemon to Overlay by Ru & Miyako Miyahara Ki ni Natteru Hito ga Otoko Janakatta (The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy At All) by Sumiko Arai Sukeban to Tenkousei by Fujichika

Natsu to Lemon to Overlay is the manga adaption of a yuri award winning novel novel that I picked kind of at random. An aspiring voice actress struggling to make any career moves are requested by a mysterious woman to read the obituary at her own funeral. What happens next will warm your heart. The Guy She Liked is one where I'm just going to assume most if not all of you are aware of so I'm just going to say that I like it and am looking forward to the next volume 👍 And last but not least: an adorable 80's throwback with some truly heartwarming moments and developments not to mention very funny: Sukeban to Tenkousei by Fujichika

Here im going to write a take that im not sure if somebody will read this about my project

as yall can see, The Hundred Line; Last Defense Academy: Half Frutiger Times is a fan project of mine that is under construction and its aesthetic is mixed with Frutiger Aero, Y2k, a little Dreamcore and a bit of Silicon Dreams.

The project follows the story of a boy named Banri Fukushima that dreams to be a famous basketball player, and all his family and known beings, especially Choji(his childhood friend and best bro) supports him. But one day, while practising for a game, he get hit by a basket ball in the side part of his cheek and he faints. 2 hours later, an apocalypse of killer machines, called Water Dryads, attack the city he lives in and when he wakes up, he witnesses the destruction of his city, home and all the places he knows.

While escaping from the monsters, a mysterious floating golden fish, that calls koinself(themselves) Kingyo, appears infront of him offering to take refuge(or refugee? idk) on a max-shielded academy and he accepts it. So both of them magically teleports there, but Banri realizes that his school became the only refugee for some students, and when he enters to the place, 39 students from every classroom, plus 3 other mysterious fishes and a mammal, receives him(they were basically kiddos of his school, except the pets because none of them was here before)

After the students received the boy, a male voice with a metallic tone, announces the kids that they need to get ready they are going to fight against those machines for half year(which means that the event finishes a Dec 31)

... After Day 1 finished, 10 students from the outside enrolls to the academy to fight with their new mates, but they realize that they are not going to fight with them because the teams of 10 are divided per classrooms, so they are in the special sector

If you want to know the students names, here im going to leave it below

Photo of the "commanders" of every classroom

Kingyo (koi/koin): The first high-class commander, has the figure of a golden fish and koi is the one who helped Banri to escape from the apocalypse. Koi might be strict, but koi can proove that koi is such a cool commander to his class.

Shippipi (xe/xim): The second high-class commander and has the figure of a ballon fish. Shippipi is such a humble and nice commander, but when xe gets angry or anxious, xe inflates ximself and bounce around the room

Karusei (dur/dune): The third high-class commander and has the figure of a moorish idol. Karusei is a serious and cold teacher, but when dur doesn't know what to tell to dude students, dur tells dude silly stories about how dur played with fire underwater, fed dude fishes, even how dur got dude scar in dude eyes!

Nabiki (she/her): The fourth high-class commander and has the figure of a jellyfish. Nabiki is the only female teacher on the school and she doesn't feel alright about it. When someone mentions about sweet oil, she will magically appear and shake aggresively once you mention about.

Valdo (he/him): Also known by his long name Pedrosvaldo, is the fifth and last high-class commander and has the figure of a seal. Despite he is a mammal, Valdo would never eat his fish mates because he has a big respect to them. Being a teacher, Valdo hates educating his foreign students, except Kamran, Kholoud and Dmitriy cause he believes that these kids have something special inside them.

5 Fun Facts(plus one):

Nabiki and Valdo are the only commanders that are real animals inside the academy, the others are actually robots

The reason I named Motohiko like that is because the word "Moto" means bike in my language, spanish, which means that he is a biker like Takemaru lol

i had to trade Yayoi and Naniwa's appearances for unknown reasons

The uniform color has different aspects depending of the class, white for class 1, blue for class 2, green for class 3, red or yellow for class 4(depending the gender) and for class 5 is variated depending of the country

The reason I have some android or robot students, an hijab girl and 4 goatee men, its because i got that *capricho* to do that every focking project or work I make >:T

Professional Mask || open starter

A few days rest and treatment with potion-based salve did Lazard a world of good, but he was still hurting come Monday. But he couldn’t just call off for this - he called out so rarely that it would raise a dozen red flags and invite questions he’d very much like to avoid. So he carefully treated and bandaged his hand before slipping on his glove, grateful that they were long enough to conceal the fading bruise around his wrist. The wide stripes of bruising across his back were hidden entirely by his shirt and jacket, and even if they still pulsed unpleasantly they were at least hidden.

He smiled wryly at the mirror, taking a good look at himself. To appearances, nothing was wrong. Perfect. Time to get to work.

Minori rarely had reason to venture up to the executive floors of Shinra Tower. Today, she had two. True, she had more than enough work to keep her busy in the labs, especially now that they were down another intern. Someone had to deliver reports where they needed to go; Hojo had appropriated all of the remaining assistants for his current project. But now she could kill the proverbial two birds with one stone, and all in one office.

She tapped at the open door. “Director Lazard? Dr. Kimura from the Science Dept. May I speak with you, sir?”

May-July 2023 roundup: Favorite one-shot comps edition

its not over until I get to the one shot collections.

Flight by Minori Kimura is my first one-shot collection by her and immediately I was in love. Smart, sensitive, and very unlike anything I’ve read from her peers or anyone working today. Really looking forward to reading more so I have more to say about her style and talents

Rainy Doori no Niji by Keiko Fukuyama is not a one-shot collection but an anthology of connected stories centered around a painting that keeps changing hands. I only had a vague familiarity of Fukuyama by way of a cover of hers having caught my eye at some point but I hadn't memorized her name so this acquisition was very much something out of the manga itself. Polished and charming character art that reflects her background in anime not to mention fun and creative storytelling reminiscent of the early generations of children’s anime. Once I finished I was pretty embarrassed that I didn’t knowing anything about her at all prior to this.

Suki Desu, Kono Shoujo Manga is a 5 volume anthology that’s very special because it wasn’t curated by a group of editors but Shoujo manga artists who submitted a one-shot either someone else made or from their own career that they’re particularly proud of. And truly there were nooooo misses, it covers a 50 year time span and gave me the chance to read the works of artists I already love, were curious about, or never even heard of before. The covers are also all illustrations Chiki Ooya made specifically for the anthology series. Since a bit more than 10 years I really hope someone does a project like this again I’d love to know what the manga artist currently in the scene would pick as their favorite shoujo manga one-shot. Check its anilist page to see the full table of contents!

“GARO” “COM” is another curated anthology focusing on the very iconic and formative magazines named in the title (if you read Mitsuru Adachi and Rumiko Takahashi’s relay manga from Came The Mirror you may remember them discussing how formative both magazines were for them). Volume 1 covers the established talents who made up the initial all-stars line up in each magazine, Shirato Sampei’s Kamui Den, Tezuka’s Phoenix, Shotaro Ishinomori’s Fantasy World Jun, and Shinji Nagashima’s Fuuten are previewed along with one-shots from other stars. Whereas volume 2 features some of the breakout talents from each magazine. It was a great way to get a taste of what reading these magazines were like, although if you keep up with the alt manga that gets licensed into English you might have read most of the Garo works already (and for Garo it was a rather tame selection). Absolutely another type of anthology series I wish someone would bring back, bc I want moooooore. Check its anilist page for the full lineup!
