Been reading Karakida-ke no Koshogurashi ("Living in an antiquarian bookstore of the Karakida family") lately. Found it through one of the intererest lists of a MAL user who's gone full sicko and obsessively categorized every manga known to man according to setting and theme. This is the one that got my attention from the "mangas set in a bookstore" list. Anyway, the english translation only has a few chapters out but the Spanish version's way ahead, so I've been reading that one. So far it's got a nice balance of chill family dynamics running a shabby second-hand bookstore and some drama brewing on the side. Quite recommended and I'm definitely not vicariously living my bookstore life fantasies through it.

Dang, that looks right up my alley. Didn’t even have to look at the author to know that’s Toume Kei, a really wonderful seinen mangaka who penned Sing Yesterday For Me (and a buttload of other generally really good seinen bittersweet romances). Already hit bookmark, I’ll read it when I can. Also maybe if I find the time / effort I’ll actually go back through the OP and add things people have recommended over the last … poo poo, 5ish years?

Yeah I'd ordered last August. Vol 3 is listed for a release date this August so we'll see if they've caught up from whatever got them behind.

The art in this is good, but it is very funny that this fairly anodyne comic about nature photography also features a woman with boobs the size of a family car.

That's what happens when the nature photographer is also a hentai artist.

That series is terrifying because I am afraid that at any moment they could drop one of those expensive cameras.

Got two that fit in here more than the surreal thread.

in the past week i've found two (2) series of roughly the same length, both explicitly centered around nude modeling for artists. some real armageddon/deep impact vibes here. i think they're both interesting enough though: Sora wo Matotte/Wear the Sky ![]() ![]() ![]() weird dude is obsessed with nude paintings but only in a single-minded "for the beauty" way, obviously creeps out everyone else. mysterious figure from his past sets him on the path to become a real painter. the art is nice and i like the character above, curious to see where it all goes. Season of Alabaster ![]() ![]() ![]() weird dude is into street art and graffiti and hates nudity! but then a weird hot teacher is all about nude modeling and inspires him to do more, etc. i really love this mangaka's artstyle and i'm dying to see their other works translated, but for now this will have to do. it's not as straightforward as the other one but it's extremely well done imo. you may be shocked to learn that that's a lot of rude titties in these, so be advised when you're reading them at work or whatever

Thanks for the recs! I agree, I like that art style of the second one, I’ll check em out. Also kidcoelacanth posted:you may be shocked to learn that that's a lot of rude titties in these, so be advised when you're reading them at work or whatever Heh. Rude titties.

Thanks for the reminder. I was reading this one a while back but lost a lot of my bookmarks when I changed computers and completely forgot about it.

I’ve already been reading Season of Alabaster but I started the other rude titty manga and it’s pretty good! I like it I probably don’t need to mention it but if anyone’s interested in more painting manga, Blue Period is fantastic

If we're going to bring up Blue Period and modeling. It bears mentioning the authors one shot Nude Model. No rude titties though.

I was wondering why the Wear the Sky art looked so familiar and I realized that it was by the guy who made EX-ARM. https://x.com/yenpress/status/1725975924741464535?s=46&t=X6-Ut4Z5gjBZ_q10eeG_mg There’s an abundance of manga about drawing nudes huh

been attending figure drawing sessions for years and it's the least erotic thing imaginable. like everyone thinks it's about sharing intimacy through lingering glances but it's actually about internally screaming "how the gently caress do knees work" and ruining the only good sketch you did because you thought it'd look good with an acrylic outline
