One Punch Man

Image
If you're looking for a comedic, action-packed manga then this is the manga for you. One-Punch Man is a manga series created by One. Yes the author is known as One. Don't be leave me? Look it up I'll wait. Right! Anyway the manga is distributed into series or chapters that are 13 pages long. The length gives One time to write my chapters each week and bring more comedic action moments. The series begin with a villain by the name of Vaccine Man starts destroying the city. He believes humanity is a disease that must be wiped away. Our hero Saitama, One Punch Man, shows up to save a little girl before she was crushed in the villains hands. The back story for Saitama is simple: He's a hero for fun.

I SAW IT

     I SAW IT follows the survivor, Keiji Nakazawa, as he recounts the details of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. The manga is graphic and gives a detailed view of the aftermath as Nakazawa recounts the grueling moments he and his family had endured as the atomic bomb fell on Hiroshima. Nakazawa wanted to make this manga to show the rest of the world how devastating the bomb was and to bring awareness to the undisputed argument of atomic bombs.      In a blinding light he is blown away. Unlike the unfortunate people around him he only suffered a nail in the cheek. Around him people are either on fire or melting away. Some people who weren't as luck were the ones one were caught in debris or rubble. The loss of his siblings were tough on Nakazawa as his sister was crushed underneath the house, his brother was trapped and burned alive as he cried out to their mother, and his younger sister died of malnourishment.

         If your a fan of horror games then you would have found yourself playing Outlast and Outlast II. However, there were questions left unanswered and a few holes left within the mystery of the Murkoff Corporation as well as the anti-Christ born into the world. Look no further for the answer is here. Red Barrels released a collection of stories that would fill in the empty holes. Who was Chris Walker? How did Miles get a tip off? Did the world truly end after the anti-Christ was born or was it just another experiment gone wrong? Outlast: The Murkoff Account

Reading of the Day: Ayako

Image
Ayako  starts off seemingly well until Jiro returns home with a few surprises and disheartening remarks. The story takes place after World War II when Jiro, a war veteran, returns home and greets his mother and Naoko. Tezuka hits on the accents from his family and the people he talks to in the city. One example being is when his mother appears and she speaks as someone would from the country side. Whereas Naoko would speak as someone who worked in the city.  After 5 years, he returns home only to be greeted with shun from his father. After doing some research I learned that the older generation were taught to die for their country in every literally sense. The older generation had a mindset that if you came back alive you did not care for your country and would not be welcomed back home. Overall after learning of Ayako’s past the sense of good and bad is very clear to the reader however to the father everything else is seen differently.

Hot off the press!!!! The Licking Woman Link: ↓↓   ↓↓   ↓↓   ↓↓ The Linking Woman

The Licking Woman

Image
The Licking Woman by Junji Ito      Some of the most bizarre and frightening panels are contained within The Licking Woman Manga. Some of the elements that send chills down my spine are the moments were the antagonist revealed her true face; a large grotesque tongue. Innocently enough she licks you and of course the feeling of being licked by some random stranger is unnerving. However, her tongue is coated with toxic saliva that can kill you on contact within hours.     The ending left me with a sour taste in my mouth as we see the protagonist succumb to the same fate as the licking woman. Years after she had killed the licking woman, her tongue begins to swell as a large mass begins to slip out of her mouth. She is left on the floor convulsing on the ground due to cyanide. The feeling of a hero who suffered through so much pain falls victim to a tongue. The most sickening panel...minus the eating a zombie panel

She is a slow Walker by Junji Ito

She Is A Slow Walker cover    If you are looking for a good Manga I would recommend reading She Is a Slow Walker. However, this manga is not for the faint of heart or those with a weak stomach. She Is a Slow Walker is one of many Junji Ito's horror series. The manga starts off innocently enough until one of the main characters are bitten and slowly turns into...well a zombie. I will try not to spoil the story but the illustrations are impressive and the ending is quite unnerving. Here is a link to a video I found with the full reading.
