Princess Knight | Osamu Tezuka

Pickpick

Progressive for its time and a commentary on Japanese cultural, traditional norms, this classic 50's manga is a more adult version of Disney where divine intervention created Princess Sapphire, a being with dual hearts of both sexes. Disguised as a boy prince, Sapphire goes on epic adventures that explores gender identities, sexuality, equality, and feminism while presenting all the fairytale tropes.

I‘ve rather neglected my SKIP BEAT! reread since I got off the plane, but I‘ll dive back into it tonight while I finish this old-style blonde beer courtesy of my cheap grocery store. (Everyone says Parisian food is expensive. Just shop at Carrefour City and you‘ll be fine!) (Unless you want candy. THAT‘s expensive.) NB: I didn‘t have a bottle opener until I found this Eiffel Tower-shaped one hanging outside a kitschy tourist store. It was €0.50.

tpixie There you go, a USEFUL Eiffel Tower trinket! (edited) 2d
xicanti @tpixie at the Museé d‘Orsay, I learned an Eiffel Tower-shaped bottle opener was one of the very first pieces of kitschy tourist crap manufactured in relation to the structure, so it‘s part of a noble tradition, too! 2d
tpixie @xicanti very interesting!!! 2d

I‘ve officially reached the point in my SKIP BEAT! reread where it‘s all ebooks, all the time. No more hauling around bulky bags of physical copies! Whee!

I also have the volumes on my iPad, but I love how manga looks on e-ink so I‘ll read as many of them as possible on my actual ereaders. #MFMarch
