manga recommendations pt. 3

memory, melancholy, and maturity

Totsukuni no Shoujo (The Girl From the Other Side: Siúil, a Rún) by Nagabe

A harrowing and beautiful grim dark fairy tale set in a world populated with monstrous creatures that can curse people with a single touch. The story follows a young girl named Shiva and her otherworldly Teacher who live in a vacant village on the "outside." The story explores the dichotomy of light and darkness, good and evil, body and soul, and those who linger in the quiet spaces in between. Nagabe’s dreamy story book illustrations capture the fantastical and eerie world vividly, crafted together in fine lines and careful contrasts.

Dungeon Meshi (Dungeon in Delicious) by Ryoko Kui

A charming medieval fantasy story about, well, dungeons, dragons, and delicious food! The premise is simple: kill the magician of the dungeon and the golden kingdom shall be yours, or so the former king declared before fading to dust. And so, we follow a group of adventurers as they traverse the dungeon and, after losing their supplies and friend to a red-scaled dragon, meet a dwarf who teaches them how to prepare and cook monster ingredients. The story delights in monster designs and their anatomies and ecosystems, and boasts a diverse cast of characters that are as equally complex and well-developed.

MagMell Shinkai Suizokukan (Deep Sea Aquarium MagMell) by Kiyomi Sugishita

A gorgeously illustrated story following Koutarou Tenjou, a janitor and assistant keeper at a deep sea aquarium in Tokyo. The story quietly opens up a hidden, dreamlike world filled with strange and wonderful creatures that dwell in the dark depths of the sea. Sugishita beautifully captures the fleeting, tender moment of fondness and rumination that people experience while watching the majesty of the ocean and her inhabitants.

BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad by Harold Sakuishi

An absolute classic! A soul-stirring, coming of age story about music, brotherhood, and the angst of adolescence. It features a group of colorful teenagers who come together to form a rock band and the story focuses on their love, trials, and tribulations as they struggle to fame. The protagonist, Yukio “Koyuki” Tanaka, embodies the raw, honest, confronting, and liberating feeling of self-discovery and self-expression that young people often go through. His growth is slow and subtle, but so genuine and measured, and he becomes the force that eventually pulls the groups’ sound together.

Medalist by Tsurumaikada

A heartfelt story that explores the familial, social, and economical pressures of competitive sports, specifically figure skating. We follow Inori Yuitsuka, a fifth grader who is desperate to become a skater but has been constantly criticized by those around her and told that she’s too old to begin training competitively. All except for down-on-his-luck former figure skater Tsukasa Akeuraji who sees her potential and decides to coach her with the promise of winning a medal. Despite the somber premise, this is an incredibly uplifting story about building confidence, realizing your self-worth, and pursuing your dreams regardless of when you decide to start. The athleticism and elegance of figure skating is also portrayed beautifully through dynamic and expressive artwork and paneling.

Holyland by Kouji Mori

An intense, character-driven story following high school student Yuu Kamishiro who, after being driven to isolation by the abuse of his peers and with no place in society, ventures out into the night in search of his "holyland." He finds acceptance through violence and solace in the lawless brutality of the streets. The author meditates on human nature and explores the nature of one's emotions, particularly grief and hatred, and how they define us. Make no mistakes though, this is also very much a martial arts story and Mori balances both the technical and impassionate aspects of combat seamlessly.

(Includes depictions of self-harm, depression, bullying, violence).

Again God said to him, Your name is Jacob [supplanter]; you shall not be called Jacob any longer, but Israel shall be your name. So He called him Israel [contender with God].

And God said to him, I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall come from you and kings shall be born of your stock;

The land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and to your descendants after you I will give the land.

Genesis 35:10-12 (AMPC)

Where to Next? The Beauty of Israel

Israel is a remarkably striking country that has so much history and culture, making it a popular tourist destination with much to offer to all visitors. From its unique blend of cultures to its delicious food and vibrant nightlife, there is guaranteed to be something for everyone to enjoy. With so much to do, it can be tough to navigate all the amazing things that Israel has to offer. Here is the only travel guide you’ll need to follow when you visit Israel to make the most out of your stay!

Food

When it comes to food, Israel is famous for its falafel, hummus, pita bread, and shawarma. You can find falafel joints all over the country, but the most famous ones are Itzik Hagadol and Abu Hassan Hummus. These popular spots are known for their high-quality food and are definitely worth a visit if you're a foodie looking for some authentic cuisine! You can find both of these restaurants in the heart of Tel Aviv in Jaffa, where the famous flea markets, also known as Shuks, are located.

Culture

Israel is home to many religions-Judaism, Islam, and Christianity- and the country’s culture reflects this unique mix of people of different backgrounds living together. If you come to visit during the holidays, whether it is a Jewish, Christian, or Muslim one, the streets will always be filled with people celebrating and dancing. If you plan on visiting during December, there will most definitely be both Christmas and Hanukkah festivities all over the country, especially in Jerusalem, the Holy Land. If you are not here during the celebratory months but still want to learn about the rich history of Israeli and Jewish culture, you can visit ancient religious sites like the Western Wall in Jerusalem or the old city of Tzfat year-round, or explore contemporary art museums like the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, which display important artifacts from both religious and historical events.

Transportation

Israel is a small country so it’s easy to get pretty much anywhere with just a car, but there is also the metro system that is tourist-friendly, and can be used to go to the beaches, downtown Tel Aviv, the bars, and the old city. If you don’t feel comfortable using the metro system in a foreign country, taxis can be easily spotted driving all throughout Tel Aviv and can take you to wherever you need to be!

Nightlife

Israel may be a small country, but it is known for its energetic nightlife and club scene. You'll find the best clubs in downtown Tel Aviv, and the city is always buzzing with people of all ages looking to have a good time. Some of the best clubs in the city include Shalvata and Sputnik, which cater mainly to the grunge/club scene, but there are many other options to explore that are all walking distance to each other.

Things to do

There's never a shortage of things to do in Israel. From historical monuments to goregous beaches, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Some of the must-see attractions include the Tel Aviv beach and boardwalk, the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, the Western Wall, the old city of Zefat, the Dead Sea, and the Shuk HaCarmel. Whether you're interested in history, religion, or just soaking up the local culture, you're sure to find something to do that sparks your interest and leaves you with a deeper understanding of the country’s uniqueness. If you’re looking for an itinerary with more adventure, be sure to check out the beautiful hiking trails of Masada and go camel riding through the desert!

Finished holyland, hard decision but I think it managed to make its way to a 10/10. This manga isn’t really unique in its story or art, but what makes it special and brings it up to the level of the rest of my 10/10s is just how perfectly done everything in it is.

The protagonist, Kamishiro Yuu, is just so amazingly done. How he makes a monster of himself just to protect the only place he really knows how to live. The way that, unlike most manga, it still kept in mind his suicidality even after he’s gained the strength to fight for himself. For most of the series he doesn’t fight for much of anything, he fights because these streets are the only thing that make him feel alive. He keeps getting up even after he’s been beaten horribly because it’s the only way he knows how to survive. If he can’t keep fighting he doesn’t belong in his holyland

With all of that in mind, Holyland is at its best when it’s thought of as a tragedy. Despite what the majority of characters in the series see him as, Yuu is not a good person and he’s not good at being a person. All the way from his actions in the beginning you can tell this story is going to end in tragedy. At so many points he’s offered ways out of being the Thug Hunter, some of them letting him continue his passion of fighting. But he inevitably returns to the streets once again. The irony of him building himself up in strength at status, which in turn ruins him even further and eventually leads up to his death. And his death was so well foreshadowed, every time he fights on equal footing he comes out on top, but time and time again he’s blindsided and easily defeated, it comes as no surprise that he’d die a pathetic death, even though he fought so hard and found reasons to live for his death was inevitable. Even from the beginning everything pointed to his life on the streets being a tragedy, he willingly threw himself into the abyss that became his holyland, and never made his way out

I also want to praise the fights. The action is solid, but the way the author goes so far into depth about different attacks and why they work and the strategy behind everything. It’s just fun to know everything that’s going on.
