That’s how I feel. Viz isn’t the only game in town (nor is Kodansha, which is where I feel the free-floating anger tends to go when Viz announces something good), so why spend the energy on it if other publishers are licensing what you want?

jess @daisicles.bsky.social · 2d

Viz could certainly do better than they are in many areas, but after a certain point, people are expecting them to do more than any single English publisher is really capable of doing. The spitefulness when other publishers get titles Viz “should’ve” gotten is just odd

Ikoku Nikki is such a wonderful series and Tomoko Yamashita is such a talented mangaka

jess @daisicles.bsky.social · 2d

Makio is such a smart, perceptive person, but she’s not necessarily good at using that intelligence and perception on herself, and it was just perfect that she had Daigo, the Makio whisperer, to help nudge her into telling Asa that she wanted her to stay in her life

jess @daisicles.bsky.social · 2d

What a lovely ending to this series. I had to just sit with it for a minute

I’m almost done with this series and having feelings, but rest assured that my priority remains finding panels and chapter art where Makio looks especially pretty

Well, I thought the sequel to Our Dining Table was only one volume, but apparently I was wrong, so maybe one day I’ll uncover the secret of Yutaka’s stupidly expensive glasses in an afterword

jess @daisicles.bsky.social · 3d

Part of me is like, maybe an extra zero got added along the way somewhere, but that doesn’t work with the characters’ reaction, so maybe these are just the most expensive frames in the known universe

jess @daisicles.bsky.social · 3d

I too have astigmatism and that’s ten times the cost of the glasses I have on right now, even with the more expensive lenses I have to get for my strong prescription

jess @daisicles.bsky.social · 3d

Absolutely horrified by the cost of these glasses, horrified I say

A panel from Mita Ori’s manga Our Dining Table: Seconds Please showing the two leads looking shocked at a pair of glasses while the offscreen optician says “you have slight astigmatism, sir, so if you go with this model…astigmatism lenses on top of the frames will cost you seventy thousand yen.”

But will anybody license my damn businessman centaurs? No, of course not

jess @daisicles.bsky.social · 3d

I saw an infographic from ChilChil the other day that was other kinds of bl -verses and I am resigned to the fact that one day I'll stumble across a ton of people begging for, idk, steakverse bl that'll be some weird thing about some people being steak and some people being steak sauce

Bit surprised that Yen seems to be the first to have licensed a cakeverse bl for English print, but somehow not surprised that a publisher would license a cakeverse bl for English print

Yay, more work by Shima Shinya!

NEW MANGA ANNOUNCEMENT: Void: No. Nine

Three hundred years ago, God destroyed the world. Now, humans have been relegated underground, most living quiet lives in the tunnel cities, but the few daring or desperate enough to risk death work as scavengers, collecting relics of the old world...

Plot? I do not care. Good adaptation? Won't know, won't care. I had a rollicking good time with Stampede, fully expect to repeat that with Stargaze, blissfully unburdened of actual expectations

jess @daisicles.bsky.social · 4d

I have now watched the new Trigun trailer twice and I am gloriously happy to know neither the manga nor more than 1.5 episodes of the original anime, bc I can simply look forward to cool-looking action bits and gruff Hosoyan voice

jess @daisicles.bsky.social · 4d

Maybe if I cross my fingers really hard, Hosoyan will voice characters in two of my shows

jess @daisicles.bsky.social · 4d

Not a complaint, I wish I had this problem all the time
