Triptych

Finally, after a few delays along the way... here is the most relatable manga I have ever, I could say it's "Literally me: the manga". All joking aside, I do actually agree with a lot of the stuff in it and I would totally do the same, and we also share some common interests...

I have gushed about Jiro Matsumoto in the past so I won't do it again, this little 3 chapter thing he did is mostly just a comedy but it's fuckin' hilarious! He takes some really mundane things and creates some truly funny moments and situations.

Since we did Full Stealth Camouflage Little Matchstick Girl, The final volumes of Joshi Kouhei have come out, I started reading it, I'm 11 chapters in and I really like it a lot so in the off chance you were waiting until it was fully scanlated to read it and it somehow passed you by... well, here's your heads up. Also Jiro Matsumoto could totally beat up your favorite mangaka.

I've also been reading Tokyo Alien Bros, I'm halfway through and I absolutely love it. This is what good slice of life should be, it's so funny and it's pretty sweet too and his art is sooo good, I love looking at all the clutter in the apartments and shit and I love his expressions and he's got such a good sense of pace, I'm planning on watching the movie adaptation after I finish the mango. Keigo Shinzo is such a talented mangaka, one of my favorites of the new generation and every time I mention him I'm like a broken record by mentioning that I was pretty buttmad when the scanlation of Nora of The Weeds was dropped and nobody else picked it up, I was really loving that. Oh and hey, his current series is being scanlated, Hirayasumi, check that out! I only read 4 chapters but I really dig it. For the longest time his only scanlated work was that volcano town one and it was fine and all and I get that some of the things he was going for simply weren't for me but it's just nowhere near as good as Hirayasumi, Nora of The Weeds or Tokyo Alien Bros.

Keep an eye out for Himeanoru, guys. 😇

Alright then, here are the goods now. Jiro himself makes some appearances in Dictator and if you've read some of his past works you'll know which one he is.



The saga of the Unlucky Young Men is already in its final act, the art in the last couple of pages of this chapter is so good, the layouts and imagery are top notch stuff.

Oh yeah, we were doing Deathco, remember that? Here's the deal, we are in dire need of another ts. Not only is the current one suffering from some technical difficulties but he would prefer working on something else because while he does like the manga, Kaneko just puts so many sfx on the page that it's a chore to do, so please help us out here so we can finish up this wonderful series.

    1. Yeah, he's amazing, I love him! This was more of a straight up comedy but it was just so damn funny 😂
