It’s Finally Here…!!

After more than a year in the making; my biggest project yet is all wrapped up! This year has been putting me through the absolute wringer up until now, but getting to hold this book and see folks getting their own copies in the mail and from their local shops has been easily one of the best times of not just this very wacky year, but probably my whole life 🥺😭💖 I never wanna stop making stuff, and I sincerely hope that this book might be able to help all of y’all who share that spirit 💪❤️‍🔥

📖 BOOKSTORE LINKS:

Amazon | Waterstones | Barnes & Noble | Blackwells | + more!

A couple of things I received in the mail this week.

Wada Shinji Artworks

Released in 2022 this book, which commemorates 10 years since Wada's death, covers an extensive assortment of artwork from the artist's catalogue including finished colour pieces, manuscripts and comments.

Truly if you're a fan of Wada this book is for you, it is very comprehensive; offering insight into his processes as well as exquisite finished artwork. It does something I'm normally not a fan of in art books, which is spread artwork across pages and combine several illustrations to a page in some places.

However, this book feels like a journey through Wada's career (grouped together by thematic elements like historical titles or suspense titles) and each page is composed in a particular way as part of telling this story so I actually don't mind it all that much. No, not the best for scanning but I don't think a book like this should be about scanning - it's about walking down Wada's path and rediscovering (or igniting) a sense of respect and affection for his works. In that sense, I really do think this book is successful.

I'm old but not old enough to have grown up reading Wada's stories (I was only introduced as a teenager with Sukeban Deka, which immediately captured me because it combined detective themes with action) so I can't speak as an authority on his works or career. But I believe most fans of manga will take something away from a detailed retrospective like this and as such, I highly recommend it.

Lab-Garnier's Magical Emi doujinshi

The latest in Asamiya Kia's long line of full-colour heroine doujinshi volumes which can veer between featuring cute, harmless pics, cheesecake shots and some more softcore illustrations (such as the one he did for Saimebi's Lebia). I had hoped this one would just be on the cute side of things given that Mai from Magical Emi is IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL however, this was not to be.

While there are a couple of fairly harmless shots of Mai, which I've included here, there is also a double-page panty shot spread and a bath illustration of her naked. 🤢🤢🤢 I had thought Yui from Corrector Yui eating ice cream in her book was bad enough, but this is on another level of NOPE. I'm posting this to save others from making the same mistake I did. This isn’t cute, it is gross ass shit.

Ranma 1/2 Ciao Magazine stickers

Ciao magazine shares a lot of shounen collab content, particularly Meitantei Conan, but in the November issue they actually included some Ranma content (timed obviously with the new anime series’ release).

While I’m not a big Takahashi-head, I had to get the magazine issue specifically for these stickers because I fell in love with the designs. Truly, an insert sticker sheet did NOT have to go this hard. If nobody else has scanned them I’m happy to do so, but Ranma has a lot of dedicated fans so it may not be necessary. I am happy I got these for myself though, very cute little insert that highlights Takahashi’s iconic artwork in a way that will appeal to young girls.

getting all dressed up and doing fun glittery makeup bc my moms comin over w her partner and i havent seen her in a couple months so im excited to hang out and enjoy da holidayyyy... but like theres also a part of me that feels like shes gonna cancel and back out last minute bc shes incredibly flaky and unreliable and has been that way my entire life. ive gotten used to it and i know what to expect. i mean its a little disappointing and annoying but i get it. this wouldnt be the first holiday or xmas she skipped out on. since shes gotten sober in the last couple of years and rebuilt a relationship with me shes been a bit better abt it tho. so lets hope and see 🙏

when i was at the flea market today i found a gray wool suit complete with the trousers, vest and blazer. I felt like god spoke to me at that moment

[lexalovesbooks]

Teraeth: I’m so jealous of you and kihrin because you both have this natural connection and fell in love in your past lives and what I have with both of you will never compare to that, I’m too tainted by my own past life and mistakes

Janel: That’s crazy because I’m actually so jealous of you and Kihrin because you don’t have any past lives influencing your feelings for each other. I wish that I knew my feelings for you were from a genuine connection in this life but instead I have to live wondering if I would even care for either of you without that history and if your feelings for me will eventually fade as you grow more settled in our present lives and realize that I’m just a memory of affection rather than the real thing

Kihrin: That’s crazy because actually I’m not even that jealous of either of you but I have a feeling that my role in this story means that there’s no way I’ll be able to have a future with either of you and I hate the idea that I won’t be able to spend this life with the two of you but since it’s inevitable I’m going to go full self-fulfilling prophecy and kill myself to save the world. Hope you guys are happy together though

I'm thrilled y'all enjoy the reports and new info, crumbs as they may be, as much as I do. I didn't mean for attending the events to turn into one of my things, but it's always fun to type everything up and report back! Four years and counting :)

Today's Daily Degurechaff is… getting book 12!

[wundrousarts]

For any Nevermoor fans that've ever been interested in getting their hands on the UK hardcover editions of the series, with the wonderful cover designs..... I think they might be out of print (which. makes sense with the gold foil) so. goodluck and godspeed for finding them secondhand, because it was surprisingly hard to do online.
