4) Weeds! Be Ambitious

Now I understand Ikebe Aoi. Wistful nothings from adolescent girls where sometimes things just happen and remain unresolved. Mundanities, like talks by the poolside or running late for the bus, here become crystallized as youthful vignettes that simply were.

3) Someone Hertz

The newest sleeper hit in WSJ and one I'm most excited to read from the magazine every week. The romantic chemistry between the leads are off-the-charts-- bonding over shared passions, exchanging boke and tsukkomi gags, teaching each other new experiences. It's a breezy, sweet read

2) Absolute Safety Razor

Takano Fumiko is one of the greatest mangaka ever with her masterful control over negative space and wispy linework. While this early collection doesn't always capture the full potential she would later achieve, certain stories are among the very best one-shots ever made

...because it treats its young characters' emotional interiority seriously. The music reflects this, as the MC rushes headlong into amateur performances, which are embarrassing and kinda suck, but deeply touch those who can appreciate it, in a way that reminds me of Ongaku (2019). It's punk rock.

I like the movies too, but yeah, that makes sense. The first one is still my favorite Gundam!

You watched Zeta but not 0079? Is this because you watched the 0079 movies?

i think the only other SJ manga i would've been happy to see them adapt would be someone hertz, but that just started and this is a better fit and more exciting as an adaptation imo

makes total sense. love the manga.

it's the montage in look back, from middle schoolers to 18 year olds, that made me think about the comparison, both with its small moments gesturing to the characters' eventual separations. but the ishitani MV has an approach to rhythm that is way more emotionally complex
