A Harta-ful of Manga: Let's Read a Magazine Together ❣

Issue #86

Another issue that took me longer to read than I would prefer! Also due to summer chaos, including but not limited to a day at the ER. (Don’t worry, besides the extreme pain I am completely fine! :joy: And the doctor gave me upgraded painkillers should it strike again.)

So anyway, the point is that this summary post will be a bit rougher around the edges than usual. Thanks in advance for understanding!

(Also, I skipped the YatagarasuHai winners for now.)

新連載

猫のまにまに by 宇島 葉 (うのしま よ)

Better than expected! I liked the backstory bits.


I made a note of this, I think because I wanted to check it out some more? I think this is where she was born or something? Anyway: 根駒ヶ岳

読切

佐平 最後の大仕事 by 野町 達也 (のまち たつや)

Whoa. Strange. I had no idea what to make of this until I read @rodan’s review.

夏のスミレ by 五十嵐 純 (いがらし じゅん)

Really liked this one!!



I enjoyed the running gag about how into spiky accessories Sumire is.

ふわきよ天使 せんたっきちゃん by 細田 曜 (ほそだ よ)

Read about 5 pages then skimmed. It seems to be a spoof of shonen battle manga … And I don’t think I can bring myself to read the whole thing.

マコちゃんと海 by 示 よう子 (しめす ようこ)

Super quick read. I almost lost faith in the middle, but I’m glad I kept reading. I’m not hugely interested in sexual themes, but this one seemed like possibly it was cathartic for the creator, and that kind of thing I am into. Also, maybe it’s freed me just a tiny bit from things society has taught me about sex being bad. Every little bit counts, right? :slight_smile:

駆けめぐる青 by 多良見 かな (たらみ かな)

Weird, but good! I liked the drawing style.

モラトリアムの穴 by 吉田 真由里!


Yoshida Mayuri also did Laika no Hoshi and I adore the various designs that they do.

連載

クプルムの花嫁 by namo

? The problem with reading some in bunkobon is that sometimes I forget to take notes or screenshots …

生き残った6人によると by 山本和音 (やまもとかずね)

Whoa, ominous. (It’s been so long that I can’t remember now what I thought was so ominous!)



先生、今日どうですか by 高江洲 弥 (たかえすやや)

Oh yeah, I was wondering what this “ガラ” is …

夜の名前を呼んで by 三星たま (みつぼしたま)

I could not stop at that cliffhanger, read the next chapter as well and finished the volume.

Oh, woops, apparently I’m several episodes ahead now. Because the cliffhanger I read straight through is in the chapter from the next issue.

Anyway, enjoy this lovely new character:

アビスアジュールの罪人 by 冨 明仁 (とみ あきひと)

A villain has shown up … I do highly appreciate Yuki’s sister saving them both!

ホテルメッツァペウラへようこそ by 福田星良 (ふくたせいら)



There was something I didn’t totally understand in this bottom panel. I don’t think I get what they are laughing about?

ことり文書 by 天野 実樹 (あまの みき)

Forgot to take screenshots … Oh yeah, I remember what happened in the last chapter! It was cute! (Naturally.)

ふくふく万福帳 by 伊藤 有生 (いと ゆせい)

Kind of glossed over a few things that I didn’t follow well. This one was good, but not quite as satisfying as some of the previous chapters and the conclusion felt a bit rushed.

あかねさす柘榴の都 by 福浪 優子 (ふくなみ ゆこ)


Another great title page! Really liked this chapter.

シャッター街のさくら姫 by 宮本 怜美 (みやもと れいみ)

I really liked this chapter. It made me want to go volunteer tea-picking. Would they let a foreigner do that? Probably, right? Have to work on my speaking and listening skills!
