Ryohei Suzuki is in peak form as a lecherous private detective in an otherwise middling Netflix live-action manga adaptation. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2024/04/25/film/city-hunter/

📚 Fruits Basket Pearls 1

Der Plot ist interessant & man will definitiv mehr erfahren & wissen, wie's weitergeht. Die Charaktere sind noch etwas ungeschliffen & ich verwechsel sie noch ein wenig, das ändert sich aber sicherlich noch 😄

📖 4.25/5.0

So, I have talked about how I've been doing a side-by-side comparison of stats for Instagram and Pixelfed by posting the same photos on both accounts.

Well, my pics tend to fall into certain well defined categories. So, I have been sorting the photos into the following and comparing average number of likes: Cats, Food, Flowers, Manga, and Selfies.

Based on these broad categories, I noticed a few hings. More info in the following toots.

#Pixelfed #Instagram #SocialMedia #Cats #Fediverse #Manga #Flowers #Bloomscrolling #Food #Selfie

Since January 2024 - here has been the average likes per post for those categories:
Cats - 25 (Insta), 35 (Pixelfed)
Food - 17 (Insta), 8 (Pixelfed)
Flowers / Bloomscrolling - 22 (Insta), 24 (Pixelfed)
Manga - 28 (Insta), 5 (Pixelfed)
Selfies - 25 (Insta), 10 (Pixelfed)
Toys - 20 (Insta), 8 (Pixelfed)

So, a few patterns emerge. First, there is not a lot of people noticing my manga posts on Pixelfed. That's apparent.

Second, the Fediverse loves cats. More so than Instagram! Same with flowers / bloomscrolling.

#Pixelfed #Instagram #SocialMedia #Cats #Fediverse #Manga #Flowers #Bloomscrolling #Food #Selfie #Toy #Toys

Food, selfies, and toy posts tend to average about the same per post on Pixelfed. 8-10 likes on average.

On Insta, selfies, manga, and cats do best. On Pixelfed, cats, flowers, and selfies do best.

Basically, on either platform - you can't go wrong with cat pics or selfies.

Now, on Insta, part of the manga boost is that I've been kind of into Mangagram - sharing posts, interacting with posts, etc on manga. Then again, I don't see a lot of manga in general on Pixelfed. Maybe it's me!

Creo que ayer lunes o tal vez fue en domingo leí una recomendación de manga.

"Parece que mi hijo reencarnó en otro mundo".

No es una comedia, no es un isekai. Es un manga que trata del duelo de una madre y su lucha para aceptar la realidad.

Está bueno. Parece comedia pero definitivamente no lo es.

Me gusta eso del estado emocional de "los que se quedan aquí" cuando el MC chetado se va todo contento a una fantasía de poder.

No puede ser algo bonito quedarse doliendo por su partida.

📚 Im Schatten der Fabriken

Sehr melancholischer & tiefgründiger Titel.
Durch die Zeichnungen wirken die Charaktere lebendig & ihre Emotionen sehr real. Ich mag es, wie das alles vermittelt und nichts beschönigt wird.

📖 4.75/5.0

📚 Fluch des Frühlings

Sehr düster & melodramatisch.
Das Gedankenkarussell beginnt & man überlegt, was man in der Situation denken & machen würde. Optisch wirken die Figuren etwas "schmal", bekommen aber viel Farbe und Emotionen.

- I also picked up It Looks Like My Son Has Been Reincarnated into Another World recently. The Manga explores the very unique way a mother handles her grief after losing her son. After getting obsessed over his LN collection, she convinced herself that her son got isekai'd and meets up with the weeb from her high school class to get help with following her son.
It's a very interesting premise with a lot of potential. So far, I've read one volume and I'll definitely continue reading it, even if I have to pick a few bones with it in the following toot...

For my long-running project of reading all Year 24 Group Manga, I recently picked up Hagio Motos "They Were Eleven" (1975). It was a fine Manga, but it's also far from my favorite from the Group or even Hagio Moto herself.

It feels like the art took a step back, compared to The Poe Clan, which seems rather sad, considering it was its strongest feature.

Aside from that, the story actually has some great aspects, a good mystery (with a somewhat lackluster reveal), interesting ideas about different cultures in space and a lot of drama. It made a fun 4 chapter read. Overall, it's not amazing, but I'd still recommend it 👌👌

📚 Kimi ga Suki - I luv u 1-3

Wirkt zuerst ganz süß, wird dann aber doch recht schnell ernst. Teilweise etwas arg dramatisiert, aber ganz niedliche & schöne Kurzreihe.
Zwischendurch wollte ich aber Aki & Shinobi mal so richtig durchschütteln 😂

Shadow Eliminators just ended this week. Another week with another series I was reading ending.

However, don't feel that bad about this one. If this series didn't end, I was about to drop it anyway. It went from a story a week with a teenager who could summon spirits to fight evil spirits, freeing them of the burden.

That said, when it started to do world building, IMO, it faltered and the world they built became unnecessarily convoluted.

Meh.

📚 Die Braut des Wasserdrachen 5-6

Mehr Emotionen und Intrigen. Der Wassergott beginnt sich zu fragen, ob Asahi wirklich in diese Welt gehört, oder lieber in ihre eigene zurück kehren sollte. Er beginnt mehr und mehr eigene Emotionen zu entdecken.

Die Geschichte schreitet voran, die Charaktere werden langsam erwachsener und es passiert so einiges. Der Wassergott entwickelt mittlerweile auch etwas Empathie für Asahi. Und sie strahlt eine große Stärke aus.

Wauquiez abonné aux scandales: cette fois, l'élu LR qui ambitionne de devenir président de la République et fustige l'assistanat, a voyagé 7 jours au Japon aux frais du contribuable sans prévenir ses collègues de la Région. Un dîner gastronomique a été donné pour 150 invités... https://www.lemonde.fr/politique/article/2024/04/20/le-voyage-tres-confidentiel-de-laurent-wauquiez-au-japon_6228870_823448.html

Ah mais attendez: Wauquiez s'est aussi offert une "visite privée" du Ghibli Park, car il est fan de mangas. Deux nuits, à Tokyo, à l'hôtel Blossom Hibiya, au minimum 300 euros pour une nuitée, précise Le Monde. Comme l'élu LR n'a payé ni l'avion ni la nourriture, c'est rentable. Pour info, il touche déjà 5.075 euros brut mensuel pour son poste à la Region. Je hurle...

📚 Die Braut des Wasserdrachen 1

Interessantes Setting - und gleich zu Beginn ziemlich "brutal". Die Zeichnungen sind super schön. Asahi ist etwas naiv, aber gut, sie ist noch ein kleines Kind. Subaru ist für sein Alter schon ziemlich erwachsen, ihn finde ich besonders interessant. Der Wassergott - bisher sehr unsympathisch 👀
