What more could anyone possibly want in this life? That\u2019s certainly all high schooler Anzu Hoshino has ever wanted or needed. But when a mysterious, magical creature converts her life into a real life shoujo manga with hot guys showing up left and right, Hoshino\u2019s favorite comforts are held hostage unless she finally falls in love. Thankfully, Hoshino has plenty tricks up her sleeve to avoid the shoujo life!\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><b>Thoughts On The Manga\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although it has a seemingly threatening title and suspicious cover, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Romantic Killer<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is less of a horror and more like a real-life bishoujo visual novel simulation. On the surface, it\u2019s a funny slice-of-life romance manga, but the manga also has the makings of a sinister horror game (minus the gore and death).\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">Main protagonist Anzu has to suddenly deal with a magical fairy named Riri, who has unwillingly upended her life. She took away her favorite things, like her chocolates, video games, adorable pet cat \u2014 and even her parents by sending them to work abroad. This raises a lot of red flags, especially considering the fact that Riri wants to transform Anzu\u2019s life into a harem of hot guys all vying for her love. Riri already brainwashes a complete stranger named Junta into believing he\u2019s Anzu\u2019s childhood friend, much to her chagrin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_49911\"

Anzu\u2019s dorky, nerdy personality and attitude throughout the story balances out all the tension. She\u2019s a great character to root for because she prioritizes video games and chocolates over her responsibilities and personal life. Her obsession with her hobbies helps the series excel at its romantic comedic aspects. She\u2019s an unwilling Cinderella-like figure in a love story she desperately wants out of, making it pretty funny and enjoyable as we see her try to foil Riri\u2019s plans throughout the first volume.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The full color pages of this manga also greatly stand out.

There\u2019s no such thing. Momo Ayase would never believe in aliens, but ghosts are a different matter. And Okarun, well, he\u2019s the opposite and would never believe in ghosts, but aliens are definitely real. Ayase and Okarun set out to prove one another wrong, and both come face-to-face with real aliens and ghosts! Now the two of them must work together to overcome a ghost\u2019s curse and aliens set out on attacking the innocent.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><b>Thoughts On The Manga\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ghosts and aliens have a few things in common: both are supernatural entities that can\u2019t rationally be explained and are equally as scary as the other. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dandadan<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> succeeds in this department through its blend of supernatural horror and dark comedy, stemming from Tatsu\u2019s monsters feeling way too horny for their own good.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">The story follows two students named Momo Ayase and Ken \u201cOkarun\u201d Takakura (named after the famous Japanese actor). On the surface, they\u2019re different people who shouldn\u2019t have anything to do with each other but are drawn together through their love and curiosity of the unknown. I really like how their dynamic is built upon them being seen as strange for adhering to their hobbies. Momo was advised by her spirit medium grandmother to conduct a weird ritual to ward off evil spirits but was later mocked by the boy she liked. For Okarun, his obsession to meet aliens stems from being alone and wanting to be acknowledged by people. They find similar values and experiences in one another and form a close connection as the story progresses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure data-carousel-extra=\"{\" blog_id=\"\" class=\"wp-block-gallery

There\u2019s a strong emphasis on their monstrous eyes, arms, and mouths that makes them memorable, especially when they go all-out hellish in the manga\u2019s explosive action sequences. Some of the monsters featured in volume one include the main antagonist Turbo Granny, the alien Serpoians, and the Flatwoods Monster. Turbo Granny\u2019s designs are pure nightmare fuel.\u00a0 She can transform from a small, pruny old lady with no pupils to a giant mouth figure with eyes that have two separate mouths on top of them. Don\u2019t even get me started on the Serpoians, who are unsettling shape-shifting aliens with metal penises.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_49916\"

themselves meet through the suicide website Black Paradox: Maruso, a nurse who despairs about the future; Taburo, a man who is tortured by his doppelganger; Pii-tan, an engineer with his own robot clone; and Baracchi, a woman who agonizes about the birthmark on her face.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:

destiny\u2026<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><b>Thoughts On The Manga\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Black Paradox <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">is a great example of Junji Ito\u2019s foray into the psychological thriller genre. His storytelling in this manga begins with a seemingly normal start before gradually shifting into a tale of suspense, drama, and horror. From there, the plot takes some unexpected twists and turns that makes the initial scope of the horror and mystery much bigger than it seems.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">The manga follows four people, who all go by aliases, on a planned suicide pact: Marusou, Taburou, Piitan, and Baracchi. Ito excels at getting into the heads of his characters as each person struggles to deal with their own daily paranoia and fears. As the story progresses, these fears take the grotesque physical forms of a giant exposed stomach for Piitan, a rotting birthmark for Baracchi, an anxiety-induced brain tumor for Marusou, and an ominous shadow tailing Taburou.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">Ito\u2019s signature creepy artwork shines best when he dedicates an entire page to these body parts in painstaking detail. You really get a good closeup of all the rotting veins and skins on them, and that\u2019s all I\u2019ll reveal to avoid grossing you out. These stunning illustrations are balanced out with some dark, subtle artwork in between to focus less on the body horror aspects and more on the psychological warfare.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An interesting MacGuffin in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Black Paradox<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is the \u201cParadonite\u201d stones the characters encounter throughout the story. They are powerful white stones that seemingly come from an alternate world and carry as much power as an atom bomb. I love the mystery behind them because the manga doesn\u2019t tell you a thing about them earlier on. Much of the Paradonites\u2019 powers are gradually revealed when the characters confront their fears, which causes them to be taken advantage of by people who want to harness the stones\u2019 potential. The manga leads to a climax that exemplifies the greed and desperate attempts people will resort to in order to gain more power and influence. In the end, the four individuals from the beginning seem to be in a better position than everyone else as they face an uncertain future.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019ve read and loved Junji Ito manga, you\u2019ll definitely have a fun time with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Black Paradox<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Growing up, Mako Higari was taught about how dirty the world around her can be. It\u2019s no wonder that when she comes into contact with something dirty, she has massive nosebleeds! Of course, this inconvenience has made her dating life hard, and now as an adult, Mako wants to find that meaningful, intimate relationship, even at the cost of bleeding out. Yet, no one can seem to accept Mako\u2019s germaphobia or her massive nosebleeds. But perhaps Mako\u2019s journey to love will be discovering to love herself.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><b>Thoughts On The Manga<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Paru Itagaki\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Drip Drip<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is a weird, if not slightly terrifying, tale about making connections, overcoming traumas, and finding acceptance of who you are. It\u2019s a unique blend of horror, comedy, and romance that lends itself to a good character study of a person with an unusual disorder.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mako Higari is a woman approaching her thirties and wants to find someone to have sex with. However, she gets massive nosebleeds whenever she touches anything \u201cdirty,\u201d including people. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her mother, after learning her husband cheated on her, grew obsessed with cleanliness when Mako was young. That obsessive disorder was passed onto Mako in her search for her true soulmate.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> With the amount of blood she loses throughout the story, I\u2019m surprised she hasn\u2019t been suffering from anemia.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_49922\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49922\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption

shaped by her father\u2019s infidelity and her view that people put on perfect facades to seem innocent, only to reveal their ugly secrets in the end. In her own words, people are like \u201cbeasts in human clothing.\u201d This harkens back to Itagaki\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Beastars<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, which also explores the ugly sides of seemingly stable anthropomorphized animals. Mako\u2019s sentiment is proven true in the end as the story makes a great turn towards a gleeful bloody wedding. Having been duped by her lying philandering fianc\u00e9e, Mako strengthens her resolve to value herself and live the life she wants in order to find her true love. Rather than trying to gain love and appreciation from others, she learns to live for herself and cut off the toxic love interests that have tricked her.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<figure

\/ Shueisha, Viz Media<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another great aspect of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Drip Drip<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is Itagaki\u2019s individual character designs. Her art style lends itself to drawing characters with animal-like expressions. The facial details often feature large circular eyes for some characters or thin angular eyes for others. They also have wide, slightly protruding mouths that curve a certain way to the chin, along with long limbs and small pointed noses. Of course, I expect nothing less from a manga artist who wears a chicken mask in public and in the afterword of her own work.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">Itagaki also has a strong penchant for nudity and taboos in this work. These elements demonstrate her openness in exploring outsider characters with free-spirited attitudes that go against the norm. We see this in the manga frequently when Mako nonchalantly bleeds a river of blood from her nose like it\u2019s a normal occurrence, much to the horror of onlookers. She\u2019s also often nude and exposes her nipples frequently in the manga, but it never feels erotic or flashy because the work is more concerned with focusing on Mako as a maturing character.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure data-carousel-extra=\"{\" blog_id=\"\" class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img
