This and they should use infographics/pictograms on the workers comp posters instead of just the mountain of text that’s super hard to decipher

Only Yesterday x Bloom + Cherry Magic

When hints at a high school reunion suggest that her track teammate harbored used to like her, introverted Sera takes a chance to explore a connection she never knew existed that may rewrite everything she believed about herself.

The sheer number of (amazing, tbh) bummer/intense stories out there makes me want to make the most saccharine fluff possible. It’s a conditions I have, it’s chronic.

Honestly this is a big thing inspiring me to work on graphic novels, because it feels more normal for teens and adults to read more slice of life, romance, etc stories. It’s really a win.

Johanna Taylor 👻 ✍️ 📚 @johannamation.bsky.social · Sep 3

The rise in popularity of manga in the US is a net positive, because it normalizes and creates more demand for comics made for teens/adults outside the superhero genre.

Whatever gets people reading any comics at all—regardless of type, format or style—is good actually!

with peace and love, I'm pretty deeply invested in American comics and Japanese comics both, and I'm not sure that pitting them against each other has ever been the answer. I'm still developing a strong take, but it feels like asking if Cinnamon Toast Crunch is beating cheeseburgers in the polls.

Someone should make a tutorial for us more art-inclined folks 😭 or there should be some cool writing job turning comics into novels
