One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
The territory belongs to China doesn't it? Messy ethnic relations aside, the Xinjiang territory has passed in and out of Chinese hands for thousands of years. I figure that should be enough to qualify them as part of China, if not socio-politically, then at least historically.

EDIT: Oh, nevermind. The present day situation is more complicated than I thought.

Yeah, I won't pretend to fully know if the uyghurs of xinjiang all want independence, or how realistic it can be seeing that Han chinese also live there, but I've been following the conflict of few years now just due to how well the Chinese government handled the separatist movement, like they did with tibet (sarcasm, by the way).

But let's not bring politics into a manga thread. :p
 
Himouto! Umaru-chan Ch. 35
Today I learned that Umaru's bear hood thing isn't actually a bear but a hamster. At least that's what she says.

Then again, Mio chan insisted her stuffed bear was a rabbit, and it turned out to be neither.

I was expecting the two girls heads to be cut in front of MC.

Surprised the other dude got a funeral, I guess they found his body?

Gundam Sousei 1

Y'know, having no idea who tomino is nor any knowledge of gundam really other than that one random manga volume I bought, I didn't know this was meant to be a biography of the making of gundam. Thought tomino was an in universe character.

It always weirds me out how differently Hideki owada draws his females and males. The male are these super dramatic men among men and the females are just moe blobs.

Japan Tengu Party Illustrated ch1-End by Kuroda Iou

Are you living for the sake of freedom or for the sake of a purpose? Where do you stand between your insane master and your insane uncle? What are tengu really? What is your place in the current society? Who are you really? What are you really?

Do you have what it takes to be a tengu?


Pretty engrossing read about tengu, the way they might be living in the current world, their machinations, and a girl who just aspires to be a proper tengu. Even though the characters aren't particularly endearing, they are all fascinating in their own ways with their quirks, but above all else, ambitions. Traditions? Ambitions? What future do they seek? Are you aiming to rule the skies? Insane, surreal, chaotic, the story, with the art that accompanies it, sometimes stiff, sometimes messy, gripping, confusing, reminding of traditional Japanese paintings, reminding of Japanese folklore, of tengu.

What are tengu really?

A fascinating read.

You're surprisingly quite the h-manga connoisseur, huh?

I see them more as seinen manga though but the exact classification is kinda hard to pin point, more so for Naoki Yamamoto works. It would feel more as pornography if the spark of humanity is lost but this author always enjoying treading this line carefully.

It's not as if he don't work on h-manga, it just that I don't care much about those comparatively.

Kind of an odd stance. Would you say h-mangas have no humanity? What would you consider, say, The End of Sexual Instinct and the Hydrogen Bomb War to be?
