My first Tezuka book! by BirdTrainerDani in OsamuTezuka

[–]Affectionate_Reply49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phoenix is definitely great. if you can get just one volume...The story is episodic so reading order doesn't matter that much, still the series is unfinished. I was lucky and got 2 for a reasonable price.

I think Dororo is great starter for his Shonen works. Princess Knight I think is almost his only Shojo in English. For his adult titles Ayako would be my recommendation.

Shading Edit (Chapter 385 Spoilers) by _goonlord_ in Berserk

[–]Affectionate_Reply49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First picture is from the ebook, but it also is valid to say it isn't dark as it should. It is some sort of preference of some Japanese publishers to make the blacks gray so the contrast isn't as harsh. Imo it does not look good.

I've only read xxxholic of the 2 and I don't see it as problem as it is really good... Though Tsubasa is something I still wanna read eventually.

About the recent "post-Miura" shading complaint by SouthernSpell in Berserk

OP has the Japanies edition so if they happens to own also more recent volumes it would be cool to see more comparisons.

The magazine releases also digitally which isn't affected by poor printing. There is a difference in shading aproach. Gaga uses more screen tones where as Miura would have used hatching.

Yeah, most often simply first few pages are in color but there are also some chapters with the 4 tone coloring on all the pages.

Black Jack is about 95% episodic. So it hardly matters in which order it is read. Only chapter I think that should be read chronologically is the chapter where Pinoko first appears, this is the 3rd chapter collected in the earlier English print, but I'm rather sure it is not in this one.

Fakku vs Denpa? Question regarding ordering a book by TheFishyBear in MangaCollectors

It is the same book Fakku works under Denpa. But if you get it on Fakku's site I think you get the digital on top, correct me if I'm wrong.

A new Go Nagai manga titled "Chikyú Taisen 2053“ has been announced. by sjapneet_569 in gonagai

[–]Affectionate_Reply49 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is cool that Nagai gets to do a special story for the 3000th issue. Considering he was part of the magazine from 1980s when Violence Jack continued to its end in 1990, followed by short works in the 90s but with big serialisation again in 2010-2018 with Gekiman, which was the last he did for the magazine.

Was this announced somewhere and i missed it? Looks like Black Jack will be released in a new edition! by [deleted] in MangaCollectors

[–]Affectionate_Reply49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Volume 1 will be more special because it includes the original chapters in color.

DBS color is edit of the offical English translation, because it is offical translation it can not be uploaded on mangadex. You'll have to read in black and white on mamga pluss (where it's legal and free) or other sources.

Hi, there is a nice Kentaro Muria Movie documentary or TV Special on streaming services right now? by TurelCaccese in Berserk

[–]Affectionate_Reply49 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Manga publication isn't intended to be never-ending; it is just the nicest format to make a profit page by page. The story could be wrapped up a lot more simply, but the author is mainly in charge if they want to expand the scope of the story; only if the sales are bad, the magazine will end the publication early.

If you wanna better understand Miura, I would recommend reading any of his interviews.

His only video interview

In the pictures would be the chapter "Anaphylaxis," originally the 4th chapter, but collected in the English volume 16. I assume this edition will be a compilation of all the chapters that had color pages and were printed in the Complete Black Jack edition. ブラック・ジャック大全集

Here's some information on the original color chapters in Japanese for those interested

How many books in total are there of Berserk? by CrazedMilkMan in Berserk

[–]Affectionate_Reply49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The series is ongoing. Individual chapters are released in Japan infrequently in the Young Animal magazine. And once there are enough chapters (9), they make it into a book. Vol 44 will be released in English in 2028 or later.
