New Manga Read - Soseki Natsume's I Am A Cat

I Am A Cat is an early 20th century satirical novel by Soseki Natsume, mocking the upper middle class in Japan at the time by telling the story of a stray cat who ends up living in the home of an English teacher who lives with his wife, kids, and mistress.

It's largely the teacher speaking sarcastically with his friends and former students with the cat listening and largely mocking them, as they speak about the pointlessness of life and how aimless things are.

This is a manga adaptation of said story.

As noted earlier, the story is told through the perspective of a very sarcastic, unnamed stray cat who largely listens and mocks the humans. The story ends with the cat getting drunk. Literally.

It's witty, at times. Sad. Sexist. Very of the time with the nonchalance of a group of folks talking, thinking they are smarter then they really are.

It's an interesting adaptation of a very old novel.

Beach Manga Read - Donald Duck Visits Japan

I bring this on vacation every year for like the past 5 years and read it on the beach. It's one of my regular beach reads.

The story - Donald and his friends work for Duck Furniture. They want to branch out to Japan, so they send the trio to work at a hot springs resort with very traditional and strict management. And silliness ensues.

It's silly, it's self-contained, it's funny, and it's very easy for me to pick up and put down while chilling on the beach with my kids.

Easy annual read.

New Manga Read - Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Volume 14

It's been a while since I read any Frieren, but just got Volume 14 from the library recently, so had to jump into it over the weekend.

Great volume. We're in a continuing story of trying to protect Serie from would be assassins. We also learn more about the group of people trying to assassinate Serie.

It was a well done volume, ready to see what happens next. Whenever my library network gets Volume 15.

New Manga Read - The Bride Was a Boy

The Bride was a Boy is an autobiographical manga written by Chii, a trans artist and writer. This single volume originated as a blog, but with her husband's support she made it into a book.

The story is hers, about her life and experiences as a trans woman in Japan. Between chapters, she talks about LGBTQ+ rights and laws in Japan to help explain what she went through.

It was a very interesting read and a cute one, as she also talks about her love story with her husband.

Cute and informative. Glad I read it.

New Read - March Comes in like Lion, Volume 1

I. Uhm. Hmm.

So, I saw Volume 1 of this at the library and thought, "Sure, I'll check it out. A lot of folks I know loved the anime."

After reading Volume 1, I'm torn. It's a somber tale that appears to be leaning into the found family angle, which I normally like. But something about this doesn't appeal to me.

It felt like a slog to get through Volume 1. While I felt more engaged towards the end of the volume, I just don't think I want to read any more.

I did not enjoy it.

Oh well.
