Just earlier this week I 5-starred my Nice Nature. In preparation for eventually 5-starring Cheerleader Nice Nature.
5) Futari Bus
What makes the slow burn in this so satisfying is the mature and nostalgic depiction of middle schoolers muddling through their first loves. One of my favorite chapters has the main characters unexpectedly meeting at a mall which starts and ends with awkward greetings, and that's all
My infant-level global player prefrontal cortex being rewired in real-time at seeing the casino jackpot layout that the future holds
Will eventually read Akebi’s Sailor Uniform to see if it goes from fetish manga (bad) to fetish manga (good)
did tm opera o fucking die
4) Weeds! Be Ambitious
Now I understand Ikebe Aoi. Wistful nothings from adolescent girls where sometimes things just happen and remain unresolved. Mundanities, like talks by the poolside or running late for the bus, here become crystallized as youthful vignettes that simply were.
3) Someone Hertz
The newest sleeper hit in WSJ and one I'm most excited to read from the magazine every week. The romantic chemistry between the leads are off-the-charts-- bonding over shared passions, exchanging boke and tsukkomi gags, teaching each other new experiences. It's a breezy, sweet read
2) Absolute Safety Razor
Takano Fumiko is one of the greatest mangaka ever with her masterful control over negative space and wispy linework. While this early collection doesn't always capture the full potential she would later achieve, certain stories are among the very best one-shots ever made
...because it treats its young characters' emotional interiority seriously. The music reflects this, as the MC rushes headlong into amateur performances, which are embarrassing and kinda suck, but deeply touch those who can appreciate it, in a way that reminds me of Ongaku (2019). It's punk rock.
Recommended manga reads of 2026 🧵
1. Girl Meets Rock
Four girls form a band, but what sets this apart from other manga of its ilk is the pettiness of some of its drama, like bands breaking up over highschool crushes. It's full of teen angst, but from a perspective that's emotionally authentic
I like the movies too, but yeah, that makes sense. The first one is still my favorite Gundam!
You watched Zeta but not 0079? Is this because you watched the 0079 movies?
Same but saving up for cheerleader Nice Nature
i'd recommend tsukumizu's manga to people that love reading subahibi blog posts
is that sunfaded or something else? i also really like sunfaded.
best discovery of 2025. anime/gacha/whatever music that is actually good youtu.be/VJk2etK8I1w
they make the pattern-seeking part of my brain go vroom
i think the only other SJ manga i would've been happy to see them adapt would be someone hertz, but that just started and this is a better fit and more exciting as an adaptation imo
makes total sense. love the manga.
RIP Tatsuya Nakadai. Too many immortal performances to even summarize but nearly all of them are sharpened to an edge you can shave with. One of the tightest coiled springs in the history of movies.
A million laughs
A million tears

it's the montage in look back, from middle schoolers to 18 year olds, that made me think about the comparison, both with its small moments gesturing to the characters' eventual separations. but the ishitani MV has an approach to rhythm that is way more emotionally complex
look back's approach to time, in its flatly default and almost-cloying "scene transition, years are passing; time for a montage! and with fortissimo!" made me think of the OP/ado music video ishitani did, which handled some similar themes, but in a much more delicate, adept way
don't know how much i'll post though, since idk whether i stopped using twitter way back when because i got tired of social media, or i got tired of social media because musk ruined twitter. but thank you.
