Steal Like an Artist by Austen Kleon. I loved this little book. It's central message is that art is all about how artist are just professional theives. They take things from various other artist and influences and peace them together into their own Frankenstein monsters that is technically their own original with but it's all stolen components.

There's 1001 reason you should stick around. I'm not sure if I'd categorize Oranga as Seinan or Shojo. But let me say this. This manga is for everybody. The series follows high schoolgirl Naho Takamiya, who receives a letter written by herself ten years in the future. Nahos future self is begging her younger self to prevent her "biggest regret". She is tasked with keeping an eye on Kakeru Narus...

What is history? The simple answers is history is what has happened in the past. But it's more complicated than that. Because history isn't just what has happened, it's what is recorded to have happened. All events that are remembered and preserved in some authentic form constitute the historical record. Because we can't know for certain what has happened in the past because we weren't there. W...

    Randomly got recommended this video by the algorithm. Blood on the Tracks is a manga I read a long time ago, I was there when it finished not too long ago and it was a hard read. One of the most emotionally taxing stories I've read. Don't think I can read it again, child abuse stories really screw with my head. Loved hearing your thoughts! Every family has some pretty crazy stories.

      @@JordanReadsandThinksThings I typically read a lot of classic literature and philosophical fiction, although I enjoy reading a lot of manga and other types of fiction as well! Idk if you’ve ever read anything by Junji Ito, but he has a lot of one shots/short stories that I’ve enjoyed reading. They typically have elements of horror involved and make for some unsettling surreal situations. Highly recommend him if you enjoy horror in any capacity. Also another one shot you can check out is solanin. I started it and don’t really have any thoughts about it yet if I’m being honest. Also I recently finished a novella called, “the sailor who fell from grace with the sea” by Yukio Mishima. The author himself has an interesting story and the book gives you a lot to think about. The first chapter is a bit.. interesting however the book is great imo. Just some suggestions tho. If none of them sound interesting to you then that’s chill! I enjoy the videos man keep it up!

    For Manga, there are some android specific apps like tachiyomi / mihon that are probably worth looking into, the reading experience on them is nice and they aggregate a bunch of sources that you can choose from and get whatever you need through there. There are desktop versions of these apps (e.g., Tachidesk), but just using the site directly is almost always fine and viruses are unlikely.

    I just want to say about demographic that shojo always had deep, dark and philosophical subject. It's not because Orange is like this that girls can"t read it and it's aimed to, not even adult women (josei) but adult men (seinen). But I know that with years of western editors changing the demographic to fit with gender stereotype this idea still have years to live. That aside, Orange is my (second) favorite shojo. It's my best friend who made me try it and as my mental health degraded with years, it became more and more important to me. I advice you to never touch upon the fandom though, because all they remember from it is that their otp isn't canon. Stupid fangirls gotta be stupid. Kakeru Naruse is one of my favorite male characters for how real his struggle is. What matter the most in this story is that, friendship. Even if there's romance, Kakeru isn't saved by a vain "I can fix him", his relationship with Naho is unique but the ones he have with each of them is too, it's why Kakeru's letter in the future say. The ending was beautifufl, especially about how if he keep walking, going through, one day, Kakeru will see "Haru". Walking through the snow how misery just for "Haru" to appear. Spring. For Spring to come. Thanks for talking about this manga and understanding it even if I wish you didn't have to go through pain to do so.

      Thank you so for much for all the info. I'm a manga newbie and it's cool to learn some stuff about the industry. You said Orange is your second favorite? I'm interested it other manga you'd recommend. I loved the ending. It was definitely worth the pain. I do wish we got more interactions with Kakeru and the other friends in the squad though.

    • @MissAmy929728
      @MissAmy929728 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@JordanReadsandThinksThings I'll be happy to recommend more in shojo! My ultimate favorite is the duology QQ sweeper/Queen Quality that also talk about mental health, even if it take a dark fantasy take about it. The youtuber colleen do a good presentation of it. In other good shojo that take a mature turn you have Nana. Fruits Basket and Natsume Yuujinchou both talk about healing of a traumatic and isolated childhood though both take the subject differently. Both are animated so you're lucky! When I feel bad I like to revisit the story through pictures and quotes and even reread some part. For the other interaction, the 7th volume of the manga focus on Kakeru and the friendship but I admit that I wanted to see more interactions with them too. They're all very distinct and lovely. I believe some stories can really help to make you feel less alone because it show that something you felt was so strong in the heart of someone else that they tailored a story about it.

The amount of people to keep track of was a little overwhelming, but just take your time, get to know them, and enjoy how everything plays out. Also The Stand is split in 3 parts called Book One, Two, and Three, if that makes it feel less daunting.

    The list sounds good - I made a note of a couple of them for my own TBR list (Fevre Dream, Southern Book Club, and Blackwater). My only advice is sure to raise a few hackles here, but The Stand is Stephen King's book of tropes. I loved it when published (I was on the cusp of adulthood, but not quite there yet). I've never been able to reread it, it's too cringe. I'd suggest passing on it unless you have nothing else interesting to read. Like maybe your dismissed Swan Song

    Arthurian novel recommendations. I assume you're leaning towards adaptations that take some liberties, similar to the one you just reviewed. For that, I would recommend The Warlord Chronicles trilogy (The Winter King, Enemy of God, Excalibur) by Bernard Cornwell. And I also recommend "The Squire's Tale" series by Gerald Morris.
