... Hello

[la_vie_noire]

I just want to say that, even with all its problems (that aren't exactly dismissible), Eden: it's an endless world is really a manga of a very rare kind. The kind of: "we are talking about social issues like imperialism, racism, classism, inequality in distribution of resources from an structural point of view here!" and also it's filled with full-rounded brown characters. It has a good, complex plot carried pretty well too. So if you can stand gore, graphic sex, dystopia and depressive situations, and a good dose of disgusting fail (sorry); I guess is worth to give it a try. I don't know if I would rec it to everybody. Heck, I don't want to be blamed for it. But I would rec it to some.

So have some Loji's covers:




That's all. Nothing more to see here.

That sounds intriguing enough to try, although thanks for the heads up about the fail!

[la_vie_noire]

Yeah, I guess it's worth for some of its politics, but it definitely did make me incredibly uncomfortable.

Holy shit but those covers *__*

[la_vie_noire]

They are gorgeous, his art is rally great!

I've been translating Endo's current manga, All Rounder Meguru and enjoy it quite a bit, despite not really having much interest in MMA, so I'm curious to try some of his other stuff. *goes to look for downloads*

[la_vie_noire]

Aaah, I'm going to check that out. Thanks!

It's pretty fun. I always find myself surprised when I enjoy a sports manga (I enjoy playing sports, but not watching, so I always think, well, I won't like sports manga), but it keeps happening, so I guess I should admit I'm a fan of the genre. XD

And while the main character is a guy, there are some great female supporting characters who get quite a bit of page time, too, and are not just The Girlfriend or The Sister or whatever, but are also MMA fighters (one is a coach) and have chapters devoted to their matches just like the supporting guys get chapters for theirs.

Oh, the thing with women was a given, I was waiting for that since this is Endo, and he is amazing with women characters

Yeah, Meguru is the first I'd read of his, so I was pleasantly surprised. :)
