The manga pepperoni vampire was something that i had some interest back when it was first revealed due to its synopsis but quickly forgot about it due to the lack of info about it online, but because I found the author on twitter by accident recently I got interested in it again.

There's still no official translation or even scanlations of it even after almost a year which makes me sad.

For those curious, the reason why I find this manga so interesting is because the story is about an American drag queen moving back to the country side after her mom's death and is subsequently mistaken for a vampire while at her new job.

Now, on top of the interesting plot and art I also find found out that the author apparently talked to some lgbt+ folks who lived in rural areas to ask about their experiences which i think is cool.

I hope that one day it gets a translation, official or not. And considering tank chair got an official one a few months ago despite also being relatively unknown, I'll hold out hope this also gets picked up at some point. 🥲

rewatching manlybadasshero's night in the woods playthrough and seeing him get really into in it and getting progressively more and more annoyed at mae's choices during the bea bedroom scene was funny.

been rereading dorohedoro in preparation for the second season and even though i love it and is like my top 2 manga oat the biggest issue i had and still have with it is how hayashida treated ebisu.

Like i get that she likes to put characters through the wringer, however the stuff that ebisu was put though feels incredibly meanspirited and a lot more demeaning than in most cases. Even if it was for comedy purposes. Her being 13 and put through worse shit than the actual antagonistic characters still feels very weird to me.

And just when i thought things were going to get better with her after her backstory and the fact that she became herself again, the pin fiasco happened and she was just left like that for the rest of the manga :(

Wanted to make a rec post about a bunch of random sci-fi manga i like and hope that others enjoy as well.

Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction:

A story about 2 young women in their day to day lives as a giant alien ship looms over Tokyo. A fair bit of the story focuses modern social political issues in Japan and the mystery surrounding the mothership and the aliens and why they are there.

The series will get two movie adaptations later this year.

Dai Dark:

The story mainly revolves zaha sanko and how a legend exist that if one gets ahold of his bones they will have any wish granted to them, and so sanko needs to search through space in order to find whoever put this curse on him and kill them. The manga is made by Q Hayashida and features a very gritty world with very goofy and fun characters.

Battle Angel Alita/Gunnm:

A story mostly about a cyborg with a sense for battle wanting to fin her origins after crashing on earth. The series has 3 entries so far with the third being on hiatus sadly, the 3 series being Alita battle angel, baa last order and baa mars chronicle. However the series has excellent art a very good story and great action.

It currently has a 1993 anime and a live action movie

20th Century Boys

The story revolves around a group of adults who in their youth created a symbol to represent their friendship which is then used by some malevolent character called friend in the future for his own cult and his goal to take over the world. With most of the story being about trying to recall who he may be and how to stop his plot. Its a VERY story and dialogue heavy series, but its all worth it once everything starts clicking.

it has a short sequel series that contains the ending of the actual series called "21st century boys"

Pluto

Made by the same person as 20th century boys Naoki urasawa, its an adaptation of "the greatest robot on earth" story with its own unique spin. Its about the ongoing murders of the seven most powerful robots on earth. It deals in a lot of stuff about the sentience of the robots and their rights.

It currently has a full anime adaptation on netflix.

Planetes

A lot of the story mainly focuses on the struggles and relationships of the main characters with space mainly being a backdrop. Its a very interpersonal story and i can't really do it justice by just describing it so i recommend reding or watching it yourself.

It also has a full anime adaptation.

10,000 light year binoculars

This one is just a oneshot but i enjoyed it so much that i really had to rec it. Its about an alien girl with binoculars that allow her to spy on a boy on earth from her own planet and wanting to meet him someday. The entire oneshot is in color, the art is great AND its short.

Star tripper: Planetarium Ghost Travel

A very comfy manga that only recently stared to get fantranslated. Its about a guy called 303 going to "ghost planets where most of the inhabitants have gone into a deep sleep and turned into trees.

Heavenly Delusion/Tengoku Daimakyou

And finally Heavenly, it has two concurrent plotlines with the first one being about a boy and a girl going through a post apocalyptic Japan looking for "new heaven", while the second is about a group a kids in a sterile facility wanting to go explore outside the walls of said facility.

It has an anime that covers the first 5 volumes.

And those are all my sci-fi recs for the moment!!! Hope someone finds something new to enjoy of these here. apologies if the writing ain't the best i wrote this at like 3 am.

Fun fact: when I was younger my mum banned me from watching adventure time because of the shape of Abracadaniels head (“It’s too phallic”) but I cried for a straight week so the ban was lifted

makes me laugh because there is straight demon summoning in adventure time but nooo penis head was the last straw

I'm SO glad that star tripper is finally getting fan translated because this is such a great looking and comfy manga, each chapter so far has been very good and I'm interested in how it develops.
