Issue #87
For some reason I took a gazillion screenshots this time! Maybe overcompensating for the next issue, which I have in physical not digital? On the other hand, I got a little lazy with my notations, so it took a while to get this post in order. I also didn’t comment on every continuing series this time. (Still most of them though.)
新連載
読切
海はいかない by 田沼 朝 (たぬま あさ)
Super good. The composition is just so elegant. Felt like I understood 75% again. (Again because this mangaka had another yomikiri earlier that I liked but didn’t fully understand.)
首のすわらない大人たち
Skip for now. Not really my style.
shortshort 星降る夜に by 岩宗 治生 (いわむね はるお)
えっ？ Thought I was reading an adorable slice of life about enjoying the night time … Aww, sad …
Also
I was wondering why she says “is justice” here. Any ideas?
連載
司書正 by 丸山 薫 (まるやま かおる)
This chapter was like, oh, you thought you knew some Japanese? Just kidding! Japanese is a foreign language again!
:'( 涙子さまの言う通り by 山本 ルンルン
Meh. The revelation that the leader of the Inukai cult is a high school girl? Just kind of kills it for me. My suspension of disbelief is in the toilet. Not that I think high school girls aren’t capable, but it’s just one more scenario where an adult woman would be more believable and interesting to me, but it feels as if adult women aren’t allowed to be main characters.
猫のまにまに by 宇島 葉 (うのしま よ)
Really liked this chapter. Now I want to name an animal Takosumi Yakichikuwa. 
Also, this might be a good one for a book club. This chapter had a lot of references to famous authors, I think it would be fun to try to spot/understand them all. (Like “nekosuke”, I can’t quite pin it down but I think it refers to … maybe the author of こころ? Hmm, just googled it, doesn’t seem like that can be right …)
Relatable.
生き残った６人によると by 山本和音 （やまもとかずね）
This chapter was okay, but I’m not actually that intrigued by the whole what-is-Shizuku-hiding scenario. Also don’t really enjoy finding out that their new friend’s husband is dead. Best moment was probably when the one attacker recognized Riri and their whole attack plan completely derailed and they all went inside and ate lunch.
先生、今日どうですか by 高江洲 弥 (たかえすやや)
Another fun shirt.
The day that I read this I read three full-length chapters read in one day! I’ve come a long way!
アビスアジュールの罪人 by 冨 明仁 (とみ あきひと)
Sad that we are leaving the butt-kicking sister behind so quickly (like, they could really use her skills), but I guess there are only two pills after all so it was sort of inevitable. Looking forward to seeing Yuki transform!!
シャッター街のさくら姫 by 宮本 怜美 (みやもと れいみ)
Nnnn. Mixed feelings. I was all ready to dislike it for being “the makeover chapter”, but then it got pretty cute. But then at the end it swung back around to unlikeable by ending on a gag about how she should have worn date-appropriate underwear (instead of underwear covered in dogs). Can be pretty trying now and then, being a feminist and reading manga at the same time. 
I do love Sakura though.
ふくふく万福帳 by 伊藤 有生 (いと ゆせい)
Really wish there was a tankobon! It is sooo cute!!!
I love how a lot of the characters have little ears in their hairstyle. It would look silly in real life, but I love it in illustration.
