Ultraman | Tomohiro Shimoguchi, Eiichi Shimizu

Mehso-so

Ultraman, the defender of Tokyo, has been missing for decades. Teenager Shinjiro soon discovers that his father is the one who merged with ‘the being of light‘ to become Ultraman, when a new threat arises after many years of peace. He also learns that his penchant for never getting hurt is due to his parentage. Will he inherit the mantle of Earth's savior? Decent, but just the start of a more interesting story, I hope.

I'm really loving this series! It's such a good take on vampires and doesn't shy away from morality, ethics, or how dangerous the vampires (or devils here) can be. No fluffy easily controlled creatures here.

The art in this one is GORGEOUS and is definitely carrying it for me. The story is very much a love story and is just okay for me for now. It's only 10 vols (or 5 omnis) long so definitely doable still.

xicanti Mori‘s art is great! It‘s even more impressive in A BRIDE‘S STORY. And oh, how she loves her nudes, though I don‘t think she trots them out until a few vols into this series. 2w
CoveredInRust @xicanti A Bride's Story is absolutely on my list to check out! And I've heard about that particular fascination 🤣 This was the first 2 and I just finished. They haven't shown up yet. 2w

Urasawa is HEAVY. And political. And convoluted. That being said… Monster was better executed. This one started off strong with an amazing premise (somewhat on point these days), but then… it just ended. And to just be cut short after (technically) 22 volumes? WTF. NOTHING is explained.

I found out that there is a one volume sequel: 21st Century Boys. Manga fans… do I get it?

I‘m not sure what to rate… ⭐️⭐️⭐️?

I'm actually behind in reading the series. That isn't stopping me from buying them as the new ones get released, however.

My reading is all over the place these days—very hard to settle on something but I was really entertained by this story. Ken Kaneki is excited when a girl he likes asks him out. His excitement turns to horror when he discovers she‘s a ghoul & is mostly interested in eating him. 😬 And then he wakes up half human/ghoul & what that means will change everything for Ken. Dark manga at its best & an interesting take on the ghoul/zombie story.

New lesson learned: when you have only about 5-10 minutes left to read in a book, then don't try to go to sleep without finishing it... My brain kept buzzing for AGES.

Volume 2 is a lot of fun, and I read it so fast. I really should order volume 4, since I'm sure I'll devour volume 3 as well...

Clare-Dragonfly You might as well buy the rest of the series since you‘re enjoying it so much! 😇 4mo
imthatniki I love this! Are you going to watch the anime? 4mo
shanaqui @Clare-Dragonfly Right?! Though... probably don't have the budget this month, ahaha. 4mo
shanaqui @imthatniki Possibly! But probably not as a priority -- I don't watch much TV or anything, so it's hard to fit it in, and I'm quite fidgety. 😅 4mo

Yep... this was the right choice for my mood. I've read two thirds of it already; saving the last part for right before bed, or maybe tomorrow. I only have one more volume already owned, so I might have to shake my book budget later to see if I can order volume four.
