Look Back by Fujimoto is probably my favourite work of his - and it begs the question "Why do you draw?". So today I've done a little video that is perhaps just as personal to me, as this manga is to Fujimoto. If you're an artist, or a creative in general who makes or produces stuff, let me know your answer to that question to. Why do YOU draw? And is it a close answer to what Fujimoto expresses?

Book covers have always been an interest of mine, and as of late, it feels like more and more beautiful covers get made daily. So, as someone with experience in designing covers myself, the idiom "never judge a book by its cover" always interested me when I heard it. Because .. Can you judge a book by its cover? Should you?

So hey, SURPRISE VIDEO!
I've been wanting to do a video on Keith Haring for a *long* time now, he's one of my absolute favourites and I love everything that he stood for.
I'm sure most are familiar with his work, but I wanted to make a video that not only gives context to his political standings and his willingness to spread awareness of important topics, but just how companies have completely taken advantage of his name and work.
(Disclaimer: this is by no means shaming people who have bought merch that has Haring's work on it, I myself have a shirt and pajamas of such). This is a 'call out' to already profiteering businesses who leach off Haring's work, whilst failing to mention all the issues he stood for (or, at least, on their product pages).
Let me know what you think of the video, it's a bit of a different one from me - but I loved every minute of it!
Ichikawa is a genius when crafting a style that is so simple, yet constructed in a way that cleverly uses both light and dark values for more than just your average contrast reasons.
Hope you guys like the video, and don't forget to like and share - as that'll boost the video more, cheers!

If you're a fan of Stranger Things or The Promised Neverland, i'd definitely give this comic a shot. It's mysterious, frightening, and glues you right in with it's first volume. BOOM! Studios are in for a win with this one.

I'd had friends pushing it on me. You guys begging I cover it. And Waterstones continuously pushing the cover in my face everyone I went to buy manga. And last year I'd made it a goal to finally spend my time reading the famous behemoth of a manga.
And I did! I read a whole whopping 94 chapters, finishing up the Golden Age Arc. It was definitely worth reading, if not just to try and experience what everyone supposedly has, but... For the life of me, I couldn't fully immerse myself into the manga.
I didn't like Berserk, but I also didn't dislike Berserk. And that is where this video's topic originated. The idea of indifference.
Sometimes something just isn't your cup of tea, and that's fine!
(Please be nice in the comments, probably asking for a lot here, but at least try to be as civil as possible!) Thank you guys for waiting patiently again!
A big thank you to @beyondghibli for lending his voice, and to Sazzle for going out of their way in helping me scan the Berserk covers, both were a big help!

All music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio (check the guy out, he does some amazing stuff!)Delicious in Dungeon - Fundamentals of Character Designlines in motion2023-01-28 | Delicious in Dungeon (otherwise known as Dungeon Meshi) is my favourite manga. Of all time. There's a reason the series was the first piece of media you saw on the channel, and it's because i'm so in love with the world Ryoko Kui has created.
Character design has been talked about among the manga community. But i've never felt it's really delved into the how and why's of what makes character design just so important to creative storytelling and allowing it to really develop the world you're creating.
Without Ryoko Kui's varied approach and research towards character design, Dungeon Meshi simply wouldn't be the amazing story it is today. The casts' designs have shown to be integral to some plot devices, showcasing geographic worldbuilding etc, that I just HAD to make a video gushing about it.
As of the support from Patreon, I was able to commission the wonderful artist Gavryl Tampil to work on the absolutely stunning art piece you see at the begining of the video that really makes my new intro so lush. Couldn't recommend working with him enough, and you can find him here (thanks Gavryl!): instagram.com/_itsendy http://gavryltampil.com

With the show now out and it being pride month, it just felt even more fitting to push this video out a little earlier (as it's still taking a while to edit my Skip and Loafer video).
This was quite different to edit compared to my normal manga videos, and came with challenges I hadn't come across before. But I hope it all sounds and looks okay - as I'd love to cover more western stories in the future!

"I wanted it to be something that feels kind." - ONE (Mangaka of Mob Psycho 100)
To quote from my video "Mob Psycho 100 is a favorite show of mine because its protagonist is kind to an unfaltering degree. He knows everyone suffers differently, people come in all degrees of faults and issues because the world can be harsh, but decides to be kind anyways." Mob's story is so beautifully kind, and he's the type of protagonist I wish we had more of. I love this story so much and the messages it delivers, and hope I did it justice in this video!

It's more a question that can be answered based on your own opinion and taste, but more often than not, I've found the answer is.... Well, predominately realistic and detailed art.
With Berserk, Vinland Saga, One Punch Man, Golden Kamuy and the like, often taking front center stage for what most people ultimately consider the "best" art (and I'll agree, their artworks are stunning!). But... Why is it stylised art is always seen as lesser in this regard, and are there pros and cons of both? Well, watch my video and find out!

Since the debut of their meeting in the BTAS episode “Harley & Ivy” (back in January 18th, 1993), their bond has blossomed in ways no other comic book relationship has.
In this video I discuss the slow burn effect of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy’s relationship throughout DC Comics and all the mediums they provide. Gotham City Sirens (of which they’re both in) was the very first comic book I read, leading to the pit of obsession I had towards DC Comics, and both their characters in particular.
As someone who has been a fan of their dynamic from the beginning, as a very young teenager who was in love with their scenes, to see the results of a relationship that has almost taken twenty years to transpire is so, so rewarding. DC Comics being completely welcoming to the romantic aspect of the Harlivy duo after so many years is something young me has wanted for so long.
I haven’t covered comic books on this channel before, so this was a deep dive into a different medium for me. But I had so much fun with the challenges it brought, and was more so really passionate to cover something that I have been a fan of for years. Thank you for waiting so patiently, and I’ll catch you next time with another manga video!

Their work utilises the ideology of applying visual metaphors in a way of creating visceral pages of art without relying on text spelling out emotions to the reader.
Much like Witch Hat Atelier, Our Dreams at Dusk is another manga that is very special to me, and in ways, is very unique in its visual illustrations. Metaphors aren’t new to manga, but Kamatani most definitely produces imagery that is so succinct in translating a word, a feeling, a depiction into imagery alone - that their work continues to be a stand out to me in the drawing world.
I apologise for the late-ness of the video, but given it’s all animated manga pages, not to mention covering topics that are quite raw to me in general, it was certainly a big task. Hopefully the video makes up for the time it took to make, and I look forward to working on even more projects for you guys!

It's a show that spoke to me from its very first episode. It made me laugh, cry, and look towards my future within a different perspective.
This show demonstrates youth in a way that makes life work being excited over. Taking pleasure in the small things, whilst still dreaming big. you may not be able to achieve you dreams right now. Or tomorrow. Or a years time! But someday. And not just one dream, but several, a few, maybe even ALL your dreams, because not everything has to be done now.
Youth can be experienced over and over, if you just allow it.

Tsubasa Yamaguchi's manga Blue Period is a story that touched me from its first volume, it's a visual journey of the triumphs and challenges many artists have to battle through. But it's the painstakingly, realistic portrayal of hard-work being mistaken for talent, that really hits the nail on the head for *why* artists sometimes feel their hard efforts are disregarded.
Blue Period is a must-read for artists, whether you're even into manga or not! It's also beneficial for non-artistic audiences too. It showcases the thoughts and feelings some non-artistic people have regarding "naturally talented" creatives, and does so in a way that I hope opens the eyes of people who previously had this mindset.
I really hope you guys enjoy the video, I had a blast making it, and may or may not have cried re-reading the manga for research (like the baby I am)
The anime for this manga is coming out this autumn, so keep an eye out for that too! The PV dropped only a few days ago, it looks so good!
Also, I never got chance to mention it in the video, but if you enjoy Blue Period, I would 100% recommended the autobiographical manga Blank Canvas by Akiko Higashimura for another artistic based manga from her own eyes.

The Uncharted franchise has meant so much to me growing up, it’s given me so many hours of laughter, of excitement, of thrill and pure emotion, that putting into words how much this series means to be was… Quite a struggle. To say the least.
Which is why I found myself narrowing down this video, to talk to you guys, not about the series as a whole, but why The Lost Legacy is my favourite game from the franchise (an opinion I know may be quite rare within the UC fandom).
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy came out August 2017, and it has constantly been on my mind since its release. I have played it countless times, gotten the platinum trophy and 100% the game (which, for me, is a massive achievement) and have been eagerly awaiting any further news about a potential sequel, the second I first finished the game.
So, here’s my video explaining why Lost Legacy meant so much to me, and still does! The Chloe and Nadine dynamic truly is a relationship I’ve been waiting to play for years now, and this game has only scratched the itch of wanting more.
As always, in the link below I have references to all the sources I have noted and mentioned in the video, as well as all the social media links to the creatives references too. It still absolutely blows me away just how much they achieved with this “”little”” game.

Witch Hat Atelier is a strikingly beautiful manga. When people try to explain why the love a manga so much, you might find the usual answers: "I love the characters", "really like the art", "world building!!". Which, by no means is a bad thing, but an element of manga that is not very commonly talked about it panelling.
It's very easy to confuse composition and panelling - they're both very intertwined. But Shirahama Kamome, the mangaka of Witch Hat Atelier, is one of the most defining artists at the moment, who I can truly say demonstrates the most creative use of panelling... So, why not listen to me blabble on about her artwork, and why is captivates me so much!

And why is she my Sound Euphonium best girl? (Don't worry, Kumiko is right beside her too, as my very close second fave.)
In this video essay I look a little further into the character of Natsuki. Looking into what makes her one of the kindest of the cast, and how her actions impact everybody else - also noting how different the story may have become without her presence.
There are spoilers for season 1, season 2, and Liz and the Blue Bird, so be warned if you haven't watched them.
I hope some people leave this video having a different or further understand of Natsuki's character, and perhaps why I view her character so highly!

So, in this video, part one of two, I'll be talking about the few manga that I feel should be getting the same amount of attention as some of the big names around here....
So sit back. Get comfy. And prepare yourself for nearly 30 minutes of me blathering on about manga that I genuinely believe deserve more credit for the efforts put into them.
This is my first video, so of course, any feedback is welcome! And I hope at least one viewer leaves this video convinced to give one of these manga a try!
