I couldn’t help but join in the fun of y’all who are starting with 75!
Here’s my thoughts about that issue:
ハルタ ７５号
I can confidently say there’s easily 50-100 yen’s worth of entertainment to be had, so to my relief I should be safe from anyone grabbing torches and pitchforks for now!
The highlight discovery for me this issue is definitely Laika’s Star!
I think it’s a great treat that the first chapter of that is in this issue, and it’ll go for 4 nicely contained chapters in total, ending before what was my first issue back then. I hope you’ll like it too and it will be a great example of what can be so cool to discover in Harta - particularly since the author’s later series 犬火の兄弟 is one of my new favorites in the present day issues of the magazine (though as it’s been developing recently it might be aiming to wrap up quickly too…).
In my enthusiasm, I stopped and read through the collected edition I’d bought ages ago and had been meaning to get to. Here’s my thoughts on that!
ライカの星
There’s conveniently no need to buy that to get the full story of this series, but if you like it it may well still be worth it to pick up someday since there’s about a hundred pages of the author’s other stories also included.
The other thing I’d say is definitely do aggressively skip Dungeon Meshi here if you haven’t read it!
The chapter this issue is memorably wild as to be fair, quite a few Dungeon Meshi chapters are, and it’ll be a lot more fun, have a lot more impact, and make a lot more sense if you read it in the context of the whole series!
