Which is weird because if any form of media could spin "not loving or physically intimate" into fifty chapters it's romance manga

I’m having so much trouble following along with this one, I can’t keep track of who any of these characters are. I think I’ll need to just wait for it to be finished and run through it again from the beginning.

Aside: just read Run Away With Me Girl, which is excellent and bittersweet

I found out that someone is translating the novel for Her Mountain, Her Ocean and it whips. Not finished yet, though. Wonder if the ending is just as abrupt.

God I'm sick of waiting on translators for stuff. I should take a class.

Wandered in here after seeing a new Togenashi Togeari song came out. Nothing new on a Girls Band Cry season though, just the movie.

late update to late update: I'm only slightly embarrassed to admit that watching Haibane Renmei back in the mid-2000s was absolutely the most important event in my life. I mean, it cracked my egg and probably kept me from suicide during the bad years between that and me actually starting to transition. And more recently it led to me meeting my fiancee, and getting out of a shithole red state in the process.

also, i rewatched it with her a month or so ago and it was only somewhat emotionally traumatizing.

Yep, started rewatching it as well a few months ago. It was absolutely loving me and my partner up, and then we got as far as Kuu leaving and just ... goddamn.

Which might have even been a factor in:

recent haibane renmei posts got me thinking about how much i loved it 20 years ago and maybe i should try watching again, so i looked up to see if there was a blu ray, and ok i know inflation's been bad these last few years but :stonk:



anyway, i will recommend Blue-Green Saudade which just wrapped up satisfyingly at 19 chapters, and despite a pretty dark opening i think is a very well done and ultimately uplifting lifting series about gender/sexuality and parenting

(also has a side character one of the mc's daughter, who is wonderful)

Keep On Shroomin
I read the first volume of A Man Who Defies the World of BL, a comedy about a background character who realizes that he lives in a world designed for men to fall in love with each other. It’s very funny

Edit: I forgot to bring it up before but Fantagraphics is launching a new imprint called Takumigraphics which focuses on manga and one of their flagship series is Wandering Son. That will be available in physical July next year

Another of Touma's manga popped up on Dynasty, but looks like it's been on Mangadex for a while. Just the Two of Us

Two girls build a relationship after helping each other break up with terrible, terrible boyfriends.

:toot: hopefully everything goes well for her!

And i honestly don't know why Haibane Renmei gives voice to the thoughts and feelings people try to ignore. The themes of rebirth, or of making amends, or changing yourself to be a better person? Of feeling like your existence is a facade even if it's not? Considering how many of Glie's mysteries remain unanswered and up to the viewer's interpretation, it's kind of appropriate that I can't quite figure out the why part. And does it really matter that much? I don't think so.

as a side note: back in May I had catastrophic pneumonia, and wound up in the ICU for a week. intubated, hooked up to half a dozen IV bags, apparently given 40/60 odds of living or dying, etc etc. Most of my memory of that is very foggy for obvious reasons. One thing I do remember is that when i could sleep, I always dreamed of being a Haibane, and doing all sorts of things. Working in a bakery, taking part in a religious ceremony I can't really define, or just being friends with the other Haibane (Kuramori was a frequent guest here) and with random people my dying brain made up. Why did my subconscious lock on to HR so strongly? Once again, I don't know, but I do think it helped my mental state (such as it was, severe hypoxia isn't fun) and might have done a little bit to help me survive.
