New Read - Tista, Volume 2 (Final)

I read volume one of this a few years back with @beneaththetangles. Tista is a two volume manga series from Endo Tatsuya, the creator of Spy X Family. This pre-dates Spy X Family and, frankly, is somehow more violent.

Tista is an abused, orphaned girl who ends up in a church organization that actually is raising up assassins in NYC to take out criminals. This is her story from beginning to its tragic ending. Content warnings include child abuse and violence.

I enjoyed it. It was a well told story. And the art was on point. But goodness, at times it was a lot.

#MangaMonday 51 “Four Lives Remain: Tatsuya Endo Before Spy x Family” by Tatsuya Endo

The success of Endo’s “Spy x Family” (see last week) has inspired a look back at his earlier one-shots.

“Western Game” was Endo’s official debut and won Shonen Jump magazine’s Story King award.

“Blade of the Moon Princess” is a scifi adaptation of folktale “The Bamboo Cutter.” It eventually became a series (and was the first Endo title recommended here.)

“Witch Craze” pits modern(ish) witches and witch hunters against, and sometimes alongside, each other.

“PMG-0” features a loose cannon in a special operations team modeled after the Three Musketeers.

The collection is an interesting snapshot of a young artist trying to find his voice, trying different things out and sometimes circling back (Edo admits in an chapter note that the first and last stories have essentially the same protagonist.)

Available in paperback and digital (Viz.)
