New project time✌ 

Natsujikei Miyazaki is in my opinion one of the most interesting fresh mangaka that made their debut the previous decade along with the likes of Keigo Shinzou, Tsuchika Nishimura or Youko Komori (hope she comes back to doing manga again). I've only read News of Transformations a couple of years back and I really loved her style, it's a wonderful collection of surreal short stories. By the way, Glacier Bay Books is publishing this one in english, it's a collection of 33 eight page shorts so consider nabbing that one, it's a joy seeing this publisher continue to grow with each year.

As for the project we'll be taking on... apparently the first two chapters were scanlated into english 5 years ago😅 I had no idea because nobody updated MU about it. Well, anyway, they were commissioned so I doubt anyone was gonna finish it and I think our translation and especially our editing is better for this first one😁 so maybe wait until we finish the second one before venturing forward.

Won't She Speak Well, That Girl Who Woke Up From a Dream ch. 1

Expand your horizons, snowflakes

Kaneko is just really good, period. (comma and period)

But like, if you look at the way he developed this story and his characters and how the three character centric flashbacks chapter were and how he waited until now for the Sakura one and just... the guy knows storytelling. It's true for every medium, but if you draw inspiration from a wide range of things then your own work will be rich. I just really like EVOL and that's all I can say about it, his visual storytelling is off the charts, I love this dude and I'm reminded that he said that when he watches a movie that people from abroad watched and liked he feels a kind of kinship towards them like we're all friends. Atsushi Kaneko is cute like that.

EVOL ch. 014

In other news, why haven't you watched The Crow? It gets a bit hollywood towards the end but the aesthetics, the atmosphere, the soundtrack... it's all so amazing. If you're tasteless then go to the store and buy some taste before watching it. This was back when Hollywood didn't just fuck up all adaptations like it was their pride (the comic book is good too but the movie is better).

Dream the crow black dream

The Famicom is not the NES

Summer break... when you're a kid, it's the best time and yet...

Sadly, this is a shorter chapter, I wish Okazaki had a couple more pages to work with but oh well.

End of The World ch. 3 

Our condolences to the kids that had a Dreamcast instead of one of the actually cool consoles.

I'm not mad. I get mad but I'm not mad.

And there we have it. Time for JUSTICE

EVOL ch. 13

And of course

The Story of My Village ch. 10 

And that's the end of vol. 1, I'll compile the volume in a few days.
