insanenekoI was wandering about my house wanting to read a good story when I happened upon a pile o' manga tucked in an out the way location. When I looked at it closely, I realized it was the Mainichi Seiten series I'd bought on my trip. I managed to get all the available volumes except one (Isoganaide), since I've heard a lot of good things about the series. I started flipping through them and sadly came to the conclusion that this is NOT a flip-through story. I actually need to focus and read! And I don't have the brain power to do so right now, thanks to a wonderful combination of massive deadline at work and insomnia. I did notice that the art is A LOT better in the latest volumes, which is always a plus. I hate it when art goes downhill over time.
Speaking of art going downhill, I am so sad over Nara Chiharu's evolving art style. She used to be so damn good, but now...The faces are just off. I was browsing Amazon Japan and came across the reprints of the first two volumes of the Ryuu & Dr series that'd come out recently. Apparently they've been extensively revised, so of course I have to buy them, but I fear the art.
I don't know which is worse, a good artist going bad or having the artist replaced by someone who just isn't as good (like with Flesh & Blood).
Anyone have a rec on a satisfying yet not too taxing on the brain manga? I want to read something new, otherwise I'd just dig out one of my oldies but goodies.
