Today's manga: Ikkyū Kenchikushi Kanako no Sekkei Shikō by Kino Hitoshi. It's about a 27 year old architect who moved from Aomori to Tokyo and loves alcohol. I just had to look at the cover and knew "This guy started as ero mangaka", and that's literally the first thing written in his Twitter bio.

I still can't believe I got to see the one and only Motoya Yukiko. And I got to talk with Tomisawa Akihito, whose book on Game Freak got rereleased this year. He kindly signed a copy.

Some new treasures from the 41th Literary Flea Market. Had many fantastic conversations and not nearly enough time and money, to thoroughly look at everything.

My treasure hunt has been pretty successful so far: A demon-centric history of manga from Umezu to Chainsaw Man, a collection of essays by Ōtsua Eiji, many on shōjo manga, and newly released essays from a French-Japanese translator. I even found a book on my favorite café when I studied at Waseda!
