2. March Comes in Like a Lion - Heartrending, hilarious, and something I think about all the time. Please read this (or watch the anime, that’s also quite good)

Picking up this order at local bookshop, and the salesperson kept saying how beautiful the cover was. High-quality all around!

If Cross Game were still readily available in the US, I'd recommend starting there to get a taste of what makes Adachi so incredible a cartoonist, but in lieu of that, Short Game is fair at giving a taste of some of Adachi's penchant for giving things little twists, sometimes subtle.

While Adachi is most well known (and lauded) for his longer series where he gets to build characterization and drama over time, he's also done quite a few single chapter shorts. There are four collections under the title Short Program, though we only ever got 2 in the US.

And now Short Game!

This includes some short gag type filler manga that aren't interesting, but if we exclude those, I really liked these! The atmosphere was really good, this captures the fleeting moments and once in a lifetime chances at sports and life very well. I need to read more sports manga.

Picked this up at the @denpabooks.bsky.social booth at Anime NYC. It's Moto Hagio, so of course it's well drawn and well written. Most importantly she really understands cats. As a cat person myself, I really appreciated her humor and portrayal of Leo. Brilliant manga from a master of the form.

Exciting manga haul today! The Moto Hagio collection grows once more. Denpa's edition of They Were Eleven is really beautiful. I'll share more pictures of it later. <3

Already read the Natsume volume. It's the start of a thrilling arc that pulls previous plot threads together.

CROSS GAME was a huge influence on BLOOM so I’m super excited to dig into this new collection of baseball comics by Mitsuru Adachi!
