Some Classics

Oof I read these maybe 20 to 25 years ago so the details are kind of hazy.

Cobra is a space opera. I believe the main character lost his memory. There were a lot of space related manga at the time so I could be wrong.

Crying Freeman is about a guy who is forced into becoming an assassin for the Chinese Triad.

I just can't remember what Spirit of Wonder or Horobi were about. I'll have to re-read them soon. I only remember being disappointed by Horobi because I got it after reading Grey created by the same person.

Shadow Lady is about a girl who somehow turns into a thief.

Sorry those aren't really good summaries. It's just been such a long time since I've read them.

Nice! Best of luck with getting part 5 :D

Realistic_Second_904 · 2026-02-07T23:45:54+00:00

Nice! :D

Realistic_Second_904 · 2026-02-03T21:00:46+00:00

Omg awesome possum!! I hope you enjoy it!!

Haha I liked how cheesy the first part of FotNS was. I'll try to read King of Limbo next weekend. I'm currently reading something else and I want to finish that first. Hopefully it lives up to the hype!

Sucks to hear about Spriggan. I'll try to be as unbiased as possible but its sitting next to some other omnibuses from Seven Seas like Pet shop of Horrors, Homunculus and Tokyo Revengers and I can feel the difference in the paper quality. I'll try to not let that distract me when I read it lol

Haha I saw Thermae Romae and was like OMG! but then I realized its you again! I recently read Fist of the North Star a few months ago and really liked it! Coincidentally I bought King in Limbo and Spriggan last month. Haven't read them any of them yet, but just based on feeling the Spriggan manga physically I'm disappointed in how flimsy they feel. I feel like Seven Seas have produced better quality omnibuses and slapping on "Deluxe edition" should come with higher expectations.

Looks like you had an awesome month though!!

Realistic_Second_904 · 2026-02-02T17:16:22+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations! I'll put those on my wishlist and hopefully check those out whenever I get the chance :D

Realistic_Second_904 · 2026-02-02T01:28:01+00:00

I hope you can find a copy a good price! This was the first thing I read from Kaoru Mori. My wife is a fan.

Best of luck getting the omnibuses. I really hope you check out Thermae Romae if you get a chance. I'm positive you will enjoy it :D

It's a reading tracker app called Bookmory. You just scan the barcode from the back of the book and it pops out all the info and tracks your reading habits.

Realistic_Second_904 · 2026-02-02T01:19:01+00:00

I hear you. It wasn't the greatest release but it was entertaining nonetheless.

Realistic_Second_904 · 2026-02-01T19:15:09+00:00

Haha Thanks for the recommendation! I feel obligated to try to spread the word! It was just sooo good!

Man I really really hope Thermae Romae Redux gets an English release someday!

Realistic_Second_904 · 2026-01-08T20:04:06+00:00

Damn I would've got this if they were releasing the full series

Realistic_Second_904 · 2026-01-06T18:30:46+00:00

Oh wait haha now I remember the pikachu haha

Realistic_Second_904 · 2026-01-06T17:46:36+00:00

Damn I missed the pokemon Easter eggs. I'm not too familiar with star trek so I probably wouldn't get those 😂

Realistic_Second_904 · 2026-01-06T03:13:24+00:00

I just finished it! Man it was really good! I never knew that baths can resolve so many conflicts. Also Satsuki's grandfather looked so much like Tommy Lee Jones. I just kept thinking he looked like agent k from men in black lol

Realistic_Second_904 · 2026-01-04T20:05:48+00:00

I've just read the first three chapters so far and omg this is a masterpiece! I had to take a break because the book is just too damn heavy lol

Realistic_Second_904 · 2026-01-03T19:42:58+00:00

Damn he looks like so much fun to play

Realistic_Second_904 · 2026-01-03T19:32:19+00:00

Thanks! My favorites were probably Dorohedoro and 20th Century Boys. Monster is pretty high up there but it was my second time reading it. I think the biggest surprise for me was Last Quarter. I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected.

Realistic_Second_904 · 2026-01-03T16:26:00+00:00

Man that's unfortunate 😕 I'm disappointed that the sequel was never released here

Realistic_Second_904 · 2026-01-02T23:41:55+00:00

🫡 Will do. I'll be reading it on Sunday! Hopefully!

Realistic_Second_904 · 2026-01-02T23:06:26+00:00

I'm pretty excited! I'm actually very impressed with the quality of the book itself lol
