Welcome to the dance party of the dead, a Disco... a Death Disco... A DEATHCO! BLEEEEEEEEHHH!
Atsushi Kaneko is a special mangaka, his style is instantly recognizable and he taps into his influences to create many different kinds of manga, but never forgetting to imprint his special unique flavor.
The first 8 issues were done(years back) by Habanero and M3OW so I guess I don't really have to tell you what it is about, but the elevator pitch would probably be "Crying Freeman mixed in with The Addams Family", or perhaps I should say John Wick? that's what's trendy now.
The cool thing is that the first 4 chapters are very action heavy so the people that have never read it before can just breeze through that first "arc".
I'd say, so far, Deathco seems like the coolest looking one of his manga. Some of the panels just look 2cool, y'know? Like you just wanna snatch 'em up and use them as a background on your phone or a screensaver. Like
Concerning its schedule, don't expect frequent releases for now, Kathulluh still needs to scan it and translate it on top of her Tokyo Kaido responsibilities. Also, it's about 30 pages/chapter that need to be cleaned and while I love Kaneko's use of sfx, you have to understand that typesetting him is not as fun😅. We'll bump it up to weekly once we finish up our two long running scanlation projects.
Speaking of, this week's Tokyo Kaido chapter is, if you had to sum it up in one word, "beautiful". Seeing Hashi and Hideo hang out is just so nice😊
And Minetaro Mochizuki oneshot collection continues with another short one, apocalyptic family drama.
That's gonna have to be it for this week😊 See you next week for Saltiness and Wet Moon.
Awesome! So glad your tacking more of atsushi kanekos stuff!
