This is amazingly addictive. Usually I read manga in spurts; read one or two, forget about it for a month, read another three, forget about it for a month, rinse and repeat. I suspect that I will end up blazing through this in a couple of days ( Read more... )

I see have I have done my pimping well. And you ain't seen nothin' yet. :)

I love how this is a huge, over-the-top story, yet it's also so human and personal at the same time. And Urasawa is awesome at aging characters (seriously: Otcho!)

I need to reread this at some point when I'm not obsessing over go.

Also, I love how manga is obviously one of Urasawa's cool bits. It shouldn't work, but it does.

Otcho! And more characters that I can't squee about here because it'll be spoilery!

I love the thing with the hand on Shounen Sunday becoming Friend's symbol and the manga artist.

I'm also really amazed by how Urasawa's made me care about all of Kenji's friends when I couldn't tell them apart in the very beginning. And I love all the Kenji-Kanna flashback moments and how much Kenji is still a part of her life.

Also, gaaaaaah, am now on vol. 11!!
