Yes, that is a retired mob boss losing it over how cute his dog looks in its new sweater in the top panel, and kicking his feet up in the impromptu photoshoot in the bottom left panel. 😍

The art in this one is GORGEOUS and is definitely carrying it for me. The story is very much a love story and is just okay for me for now. It's only 10 vols (or 5 omnis) long so definitely doable still.

xicanti Mori‘s art is great! It‘s even more impressive in A BRIDE‘S STORY. And oh, how she loves her nudes, though I don‘t think she trots them out until a few vols into this series. 8h
CoveredInRust @xicanti A Bride's Story is absolutely on my list to check out! And I've heard about that particular fascination 🤣 This was the first 2 and I just finished. They haven't shown up yet. 7h

There is something so compelling about graphic novels, and this one was so so good! I loved the ways that the art corresponded to the words on the page to create such an interesting and immersive story. Like I mentioned for “Flying Lessons“, using texts such as this that explore new mediums with our students can make such a huge difference in their journey as an English student. Pedro Martin is an amazing storyteller and I loved every second.

jkmac9717 I agree! Exposing students to different mediums in English class is incredibly impactful and can unlock a new love for the subject where there may not have been with traditional books. For example, graphics may be more interesting to a student who enjoys art while this book also demonstrates the diversity a memoir or personal narrative can hold! This would be a great mentor text for a memoir unit or one exploring stories with different formats. 4h

Completely lovely YA adaptation of Northanger Abbey with perfect gothic parallels and a sweetly real young love story for our two leading lads. I don't always love a graphic novel but this one captured me, and while it deals with more serious themes than the original (homophobia, racism, poverty, illness), it still feels like an A+ successor to Austen's novel. I have a feeling I'll be coming back to this one. #PemberLittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow

98% of this artwork was truly amazing and of course how could I not love the story of Dracula?!?!?!

Two immortal assassins from a dystopian future are trapped in endless battle. Each time one of them kills someone, they are transported together to a different time and place. Can they put aside their differences long enough to save humanity, or will their violent nature lock them in a cyclical pattern of death? Lee Bermejo is possible my favorite artist working today, and he gets to flex some serious skill in this wild, stimulating thriller.

The wacky shenanigans with the history/threat but not the reality of violence, more absurd parody of it, continues.
The highlight for me this volume were the chapters focusing on the sweetest father-in-law ever.
The dessert competition with social media engagement stakes is runner up.
I'm noticing some traditional gender norm judgements on display, but its limited to antagonists spouting such nonsense, and unorthodox-ly contested by our 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 unsettling hero.
Though for as many women as there are appreciating Tatsu's accomplishments in the domestic sphere, I do wish more males than Masa were also willing to follow in his footsteps.
Perhaps too lofty a goal for such a comic series, still glad for the simple reversal of older standards, having Miku be the career woman, in the breadwinning role.
On to the next volume!
