Spacedrum Vol.2 Chapter 7 03-28 22:30
RENAISSANCE, LIFE, DEATH, ASTRAL DISINTEGRATION.
RENAISSANCE, LIFE, DEATH, ASTRAL DISINTEGRATION.
RENAISSANCE, LIFE, DEATH, ASTRAL DISINTEGRATION.
All beings in the firmament live locked in this infinite cycle. Or so it was until the day they came down from the heavens.
Humanity ceased to be human. Death is no longer the end. Enlightenment came to save her children and defeat the most powerful feeling that consciousness had been able to create.
___
SpaceDrum shows us a society that has evolved to a state of full well-being, freed from wars and conflicts, in search of Nirvana, thanks to the spiritual guidance of an alien race.
The aryas are an elite group charged with the external security of the planet and the protection of the high priestess.
They are chosen because, thanks to their control over their Virya, they are able to control mysterious fragments, the shards. Reda is a student at one of the most distinctive military academies, but he has difficulty controlling his special shard due to constant visions of a strange young woman. And this will not be the biggest of your problems...

Gekiga Yose: Fallen Words 8.1 01-29 01:06
*Currently Out-of-Print with no digital edition from Drawn & Quarterly*
In Fallen Words, Yoshihiro Tatsumi takes up the oral tradition of rakugo and breathes new life into it by shifting the format from spoken word to manga. Each of the eight stories in the collection is lifted from the Edo-era Japanese storytelling form. As Tatsumi notes in the afterword, the world of rakugo, filled with mystery, emotion, revenge, hope, and, of course, love, overlaps perfectly with the world of Gekiga that he has spent the better part of his life developing.
These slice-of-life stories resonate with modern readers thanks to their comedic elements and familiarity with human idiosyncrasies. In one, a father finds his son too bookish and arranges for two workers to take the young man to a brothel on the pretext of visiting a new shrine. In another particularly beloved rakugo tale, a married man falls in love with a prostitute. When his wife finds out, she is enraged and sets a curse on the other woman. The prostitute responds by cursing the wife, and the two escalate in a spiral of voodoo doll cursing. Soon both are dead, but even death can’t extinguish their jealousy.
Tatsumi’s love of wordplay shines through in the telling of these whimsical stories, and yet he still offers timeless insight into human nature.
