    I’ve been feeling nostalgic the past weeks so I decided to go back and finally give Slam Dunk a fair go. I’ve never read it, but I was really hooked on the anime when I was younger, and felt frustrated when the anime ended when it did.

    It’s a bit of a dated style, but I’m still liking it so far. Early days, can’t wait to get to where I stopped.

      Tha manga’s art definitely got better as it went along. Still my favorite manga ever. Imo the anime did not do the manga justice. I heard the new movie is really good tho, so I am patiently waiting for it to become available in US.

    I continue on my unending quest to keep up with good Oneshots that I see get posted to Mangadex. It means I have to sort through the giant pile of Touhou doujin oneshots that get posted, but I do it for all of you out of love. Some of my favorites from the past week:

    • Shishunki ni Rikai no Aru Ane no Hanashi - A silly story about an older sister trying her best to be understanding of her brother as he experiences the trials and tribulations of puberty.
    • Futari no Kyori - A single page oneshot that nails the punchline.
    • Android wa Bug wo Shiranai - Learning about human emotion through an android.
    • Boing Ninja - Like Naruto, but with more boing.
    • NSFW Shokujin Shokuyuujou - This isn’t the sexy kind of NSFW, this one is a horror oneshot. I am not usually a fan of horror in manga/anime, but I thought this one was well done.

    Finally, I will wrap up this post with my weekly shoutout to read Atsumare! Fushigi Kenkyu-bu.
