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.

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.

Haikyuu is one of my favorite manga series. It's an amazing sports story about high school volleyball players with an incredible time skip ending arc.

However, I'm a Dad with four kids and I can't afford the cost or space to buy all 45 volumes.

About 2 years ago, after seeing a friend get it, I picked up a copy of the Japanese language art book for Haikyuu. It's gorgeous and includes some incredible art from the manga, silly poses of our cast, and a wide assortment of full color pictures.

This gives me a nice taste of one of my favorite series' art
