5-layer clover tesselation. The pain this put me through ... 

[erikkamirs]

If you hadn't heard, Tatsuki Fujimoto (author of Chainsaw Man, Fire Punch, Goodbye Eri, etc) got banned off Twitter for impersonating his imaginary little sister (long story).

After, setting up a new Twitter account, he sends out a bunch of tweets in an attempt to verify his identity as Tatsuki Fujimoto.

This one is the most fascinating to me.

If you didn't know 「おかえりアリス」 / Okaeri Alice / Welcome Back, Alice is a pyschological manga by Shūzō Oshimi - the same mangaka as Blood on the Tracks, Inside Mari, and The Flowers of Evil.

While Okaeri Alice might have a lot of funny moments and is primarily advertised as a "sex comedy", it is an incredibly fucked-up manga that explores gender, puberty, and identity.

The basic plot is that this boy named Yohei has a crush on his childhood friend named Mitani. However, Yohei's love is unrequited because Mitani has a crush on Yohei's male childhood friend Kei. Kei moves away during middle school, while Mitani and Yohei have ceased communication all together.

Shit gets real when they all reunite in high school. Kei comes back dressed looking like a woman - claiming to have given up manhood (while not wanting to be a woman). It is also discovered that Kei had a crush on Yohei - completing the love triangle.

The rest of manga is spent having Yohei getting sexually harassed by both of his childhood friends.

Kei's doing it because they like Yohei. Mitani's doing it to get back at Kei. And all the while, Yohei is suffering at the hands of his confusing male puberty.

If you know anything about Tatsuki Fujimoto, you know he loves getting dominated by girls - so this manga is right up his alley 🎳. Fujimoto is also no stranger to exploring gender in his own manga (for example, he wrote a trans male character in Fire Punch).

So yeah, this is the funniest manga this year- according to Tatsuki Fujimoto. I think this is a pretty good clue indicating that this is indeed Fujimoto's real twitter account.

So when are we getting an anime adaptation of Okaeri Alice

The tulip bush tutorial will be finished soon, but right now I'm at my parents for the weekend, so I can't edit the video. In the meantime I made a few of Shuzo Fujimoto's hydrangea tessellation. Could this be my next project? :)

Hi zuzu! I just wanted to ask how is your process while making comics, I always find them enjoyable, so I wanted to know how you match your ideas with drawings you make,

thanks for reading :>

I wanted to put off answering this to show my process, but I'll make a separated post about it.

I usually get ideas when I think about/explore characters and concepts. I haven't figured out how to properly make a story yet, but my way of making the comic right now is creating a set up - and a punchline. Anticipation and conclusion.

I always have a conclusion or an event in mind I want to emphasise, and I make the details about it as I go. I read a lot manga to learn/take inpiration on how I can format the pages to fit the idea I'm trying to tell. I think it's very obvious whom I'm most influenced by if you've read their works, fujimoto and shuzo oshimi. But I always seek ways to expand my way of formatting.

But from what I know, fujimoto is one of the best mangaka authors who mastered the art of panelling. (re: watch this video https://youtu.be/VPpbQceVKOM?si=sLiiMW1aoocg2OIL)

Understanding the pacing of your story and what kind of mood/tone it has is also important. Research what romance looks like in comics, what depression is portrayed like, anger, numbness, comfort etc... what do fights look like, how a surprising moment can be achieved by the turn of the page. You can draw and portray it in whichever way you want, but Understanding the ground rules and interpretations first makes it cohesive.

insanely funny to me that i want to hold aono-kun so badly i could die is barely known but has so far garnered two major authors' recommendation—shuzo oshimi (author of chi no wadashi/blood on the tracks and welcome home alice) and fujimoto. yknow, two authors who have a shitton to say about mothers emotionally and sexually abusing their teenage sons. and you get further into aono-kun and whoopsie, turns out the meat of this story is about a teenage boy having been emotionally and sexually abused by his mother and said abuse and its consequences manifesting as a haunting and curses, damn i wonder what might have drawn oshimi and fujimoto to strongly rec this manga

[cacaitos]

sorry that people pin fujimoto as the pushover man x commanding woman couple guy is so funny have you seen the average shuzo story.

[robotlesbianjavert]

do you have any horror manga recommendations? I've been reading them a lot lately

ooh that is a very very good question!! and honestly if you've been following me for a while you've probably seen my catalogue of horror manga lmao. as much as manga is my preferred medium compared to anime and ykno i have a casual fondness for horror, it actually takes me a while to work through new manga DX DX i do have a couple of stuff i can probably suggest, though.

(since you're actively seeking horror, i'm gonna take a guess and assume you're not really in need of any major trigger warnings, since a lot of these recs include gore/violence/sexuality/abuse/general skeeziness, or at least can anticipate that you're gonna run into unsavory stuff, but you can follow up and let me know if there is actually something i should take note of.)

One thing I find with horror manga (and horror in general, but manga especially) is a common big genre drift with things action or comedy or adventure or something. A lot of the well-known names on rec lists have horror elements rather than being primarily horror, or the horror influence ends up downplayed as the story goes on. but still excellent. If I have recs in the realm of "horror-lite/influenced", I'd say:

Kemono Jihen by Sho Aimoto, kid joins a detective agency in Tokyo meant to resolve supernatural incidents between "kemono" and humans.

Dandadan by Yukinobu Tatsu, a girl who believes in spirits & ghosts and a boy who believes in aliens become friends! And a lot of things happen because the creator assisted for Fujimoto of Chainsaw Man fame, so it has a lot of the same off-the-wall, irreverent humour. While it's not as tight or classy as CSM, it's still a fuckin fun romp with nice horror moments.

Both of those I actually need to catch up with, haha. I'll actually recommend Can You Just Die, My Darling? as well, although I'm not sure if you're the anon who recced it to me first. Much stronger on the horror & violence elements, but it's another one I still have to catch up on.

I'm trying to avoid the obvious recommendations that you can get off any list, like Junji Ito or idk. Tokyo Ghoul, Dorohedoro or something like that. But special shout out to Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni. I'm most familiar with the 2006/07 anime series rather than the games (besides a couple of let's plays) and the manga, but I watched it with my sisters when I was young, LONG before I considered myself a horror fan, and I still consider those question arcs to have some of the best horror sequences ever experienced blind. Hugely influential.

In a similar vein to trying to avoid obvious recs, I know that Shuzo Oshime has gotten more popular as of late, but I've been working through Blood on the Tracks, which is about really insane mommy issues, so if you're cool with that!! You can also check out his other works that I haven't gotten to, but yeah I think he's

For probably my biggest recommendations though - the first one is a short-ish read, I think it was only one volume? The other two were excellent recommendations from my friends!

Helter Skelter by Kyoko Okazaki is about how fucked up the modelling & beauty industry is. There's also a movie adaptation that I haven't watched it.

Hikaru Ga Shinda Natsu (The Summer Hikaru Died) by Mokumokuren, a relatively new BL ongoing series about two friends who live in a rural village - except one of the friends had disappeared months ago in the mountains.

And my actual personal favourite recommendation, Kurosagi: Corpse Delivery Service. It's about a team of students at a Buddhist college who start a company to deliver corpses. They also solve murders along the way! This is a really great series and pretty easy to get into, I think - there's some ongoing plot, but a lot of the arcs are more episodic in nature. A lot of fun discussion on Japanese culture and views on death, it's funny, the gore and horror art are just great, it's just a cool unique series. The only thing is that while I believe it's completed, it's not fully translated in English - I think translations only go up to chapter ~89? So while there's story threads that are unanswered, the translations don't end on a cliffhanger at least.

I do have a "To Read" list compiled after going through some other rec lists / Youtube videos about horror manga. I can't speak to the quality of these yet, but they must have been intriguing enough for me to write them down. Here's a selection of them, not including general creators I wanted to check out:

Dai Dark by Q Hayashida of Dorohedoro fame

Doubt, Judge, and Secret by the guy who did the Higurashi manga.

Another

The Serial Killer is Laughing in the Rain

As the Gods Will

Jagaaan

The Horror Mansion

Fear Infection

Mushihime

Homunculus

Ichi the Killer

Mister Arashi's Amazing Freakshow

PTSD Radio

Dementia 21

Dark Hideout

Halloween Desetsu

The Quiz

Mantis Woman

Presents

If you've read any of those, or get to them before I do, or read any of the prior recs let me know your thoughts!! Always down to chat horror.

Aside from that. Well Digimon: Ghost Game was pretty fun when I was watching it. Had some spooky ooky moments. If you like Digimon o:

actually i'm going to use this opportunity to again reiterate how validated i was when horikoshi had that comment about how he'd like to try doing horror when one of my prominent thoughts when the MVA arc was running was how much potential the guy had as a horror artist and how it could really free him. my goddamn vision.

Do you have a list of some of ur fav manga's?

I don’t have a definitive list, but there’s a few (mostly based off author) I can name off my head!

A lot of what I read this summer introduced me to stuff I very much enjoy currently, like Otoyomegatari (Kaoru Mori), A Cruel God Reigns (Moto Hagio), and Golden Kamuy (Satoru Noda), and others. Mangaka’s Yama Wayama and Shuzo Oshimi I really liked before this summer but I delved more commitedly into their stuff now. Chi no Wadachi especially is a fantastic psychological horror. I like Shuzo Oshimi because he is very very aware of and explicit of his biases and it adds to the discomfort and horror of reading his stuff: you can tell it came from a vile perspective lol.

For bl, I’ve liked Asada Nemui and Nana Nanato, but I haven’t deliberately sought the genre out in a minute. I think of Asada Nemui as like the Kanye west of yaoi which is an awful analogy but it’s helped me understand her work better.

General manga that I enjoy a lot include HxH, mob, chainsaw man (and Fujimoto’s work at large), berserk (unfinished), Devilman. I haven’t read the manga adaptation of evangelion but I love the anime in some aspects
