  2. I really enjoy your visuals on what depression is like for you. I also get depressed so easily I know how you feel it does feel like a void of darkness but also a sad realization of losing things we love and enjoy and we just realize we just exist. Also I love your art style.

Week 12

Contemporary manga! I've already read A Silent Voice --both the original one shot and the entire manga! It's one of my favorites for how uniquely it makes you look at the troubles a deaf person faces, as well as the change of someone who used to be a bully. But enough about that, because it'd just be me reiterating something I've already read. This week I read a bit of Silver Spoon !

Glyceride  is absolutely disgusting in it's content, and it makes me slightly nauseous when I'm reading it. However, I think that's the genius of the work. The fact that it's able to compel such a reaction in me is exactly what makes it good. Junji Ito is also funny to me, because a lot of the inspiration behind his work isn't very deep. For example, he's stated before for Gyo  that his inspiration was basically "if sharks could be on land that'd be terrifying." And a lot of other of his works also just derive from him thinking about "if this happened, wouldn't that b...
