Filled with uncertainties, fears, and unexpected challenges, this heartwarming and candid series explores the realities of pregnancy and childbirth in a refreshingly honest way.

Miyuki is an aspiring artist who has always known that she wanted to become a mother someday. However, as she embarks on this life-changing adventure with her loving husband Kenji, she quickly realizes that her dreams of motherhood were far from what she had envisioned. From the overwhelming emotions of discovering their positive pregnancy test to grappling with morning sickness and bodily changes that no one prepared her for, Miyuki finds herself overwhelmed by the complex process of pregnancy.

With each passing day, both Miyuki's excitement and anxiety intensify as she delves into the labyrinthine world of prenatal classes and doctor's appointments. Alongside her loyal friend Ayumi—a fellow mom-to-be—and other support systems they find along the way, the series follows Miyuki's quest for knowledge as she seeks answers about birth plans, breastfeeding techniques, postpartum depression, and all manner of bizarre yet captivating aspects associated with giving birth.

August Favorites

I can tell that the summer is coming to a close because all I want to do is drink buckets of tea. I always love tea, but I slow my consumption down in the sweltering summer months. As soon as it dips below 75, however, my body decides that it is now autumn. Needless to say, I’m excited for more clement weather and my favorite holiday right around the corner. (Not that anyone is going to be…

Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon tendrá un nuevo Manga spinoff sobre Elma el 25 de agosto

El segundo Manga spinoff basado en la serie de Coolkyoushinja seguirá a Elma en su vida diaria

La web oficial de la revista Monthly Action de Futabasha ha revelado que Ayami Kazama (Boku no Tsukuru Sekai, Renai 3jigen Debut - 30sai Otaku Mangaka Kekkon e no Michi.) esta ilustrando un nuevo Manga spinoff adaptación del Manga de Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon por Coolkyoushinja. La serie, titulada Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Drago Elma no OL Nikki, debutará en la edición de octubre de la revista, a la venta el 25 de agosto.  La historia del Manga se centrará en la vida diaria de la dragona de agua y “señorita de oficina” Elma que ama la comida. 

El artista de Manga Mitsuhiro Kimura (Dullahan-chan wa Kubittake) también lanzó el Manga spinoff de Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon: Kanna no Nichijou en diciembre del año pasado. La serie sigue al personaje dragón de Kanna, mientras ella pasa por su vida cotidiana casual de despertarse, ir a la escuela, y jugar con Saikawa. 

En la historia original, Kobayashi vive solo en un apartamento, hasta que un día, Tooru apareció y ellos terminaron viviendo juntos. Tooru mira hacia abajo a los seres humanos como inferiores y tontos, pero después de haber sido salvada por Kobayashi, ella hace todo lo posible para pagar la deuda y ayudarlo con varias cosas, aunque no todo va de acuerdo al plan.

Cool-kyou Shinja lanzó el Manga original en la revista Monthly Action de Futabasha en Mayo del 2013 en Japón. Sus otros Manga Komori-san wa Kotowarenai! y Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken también inspiraron Animes para televisión.

El Manga inspiró un Anime para televisión de 13 episodios estrenado en enero de este año. El séptimo volumen Blu-ray y DVD de la serie, que se pondrá a la venta el 20 de septiembre del 2017 en Japón, incluirá un episodio OVA que no fue emitido en televisión.

Book Reviews

I read a autobiography today, and I liked it so much I read another!

The first book was Solutions and Other Problems, by Allie Brosh. This book was really good, and I don’t know what else to say about it. Did you like Hyperbole And A Half? Did you spend years and years wishing it would come back? Were you excited when suddenly 500+ pages of it came out? You’ll like this book and you probably already knew that but if you were waiting for my opinion it’s pretty good! 

If you’re not familiar with Hyperbole and a Half, it’s basically a bunch of “I did a weird thing one time” stories with a really crude but expressive art style that works well for this kind of thing. 

It’s just a bunch of funny stories with funny pictures, and then it just fucking blindsides you with a heart-wrenching story about depression or cancer when you least expect it. In fact, compared to Hyperbole and a Half, Solutions and Other Problems is surprisingly philosophical. This is a book with an over-arching theme that comes suspiciously close to being a moral and the nature of life. Strongly recommended to anyone who doesn’t hate Hyperbole and a half.

The other book I read was an autobiographical manga called I Don’t Know How To Give Birth! which I bought partially because I don’t know either, and partially because I’ll buy any manga that’s not about goddamn high schoolers, a distressingly cheap habit. 

It’s an autobiographical story about how Ayami Kazama decided to have a baby basically because her husband wanted one but she grew up in an alarmingly conservative family (the idea that she didn’t know what sex was until college...) and had fertility issues. It’s a pretty cute little one-volume manga that’s not “educational” in the sense that there are textbook pages explaining things, but is mostly little vignettes of “Wow I have chest hair now I didn’t know that happened”, which is all fairly light and cartoony. Going from the art above, you’d expect chapter on the actual birth part to have tremendous facial expressions, and it does! 

If “a cartoony autobio manga about pregnancy” isn’t something that interests you, this book probably won’t change your mind, but it’s a quick and sometimes funny read that I enjoyed. Moderately recommended to anyone who thinks it sounds interesting.
