This chapter’s quite interesting as I’m receiving diverse reviews for the MMF! So here’s a recap on some of the things written this week!<\/p>\n

First! Ash has reviewed Vagabond, by Inoue Takahiko<\/a>, a retelling of Miyamoto Musashi’s life. \u00c2\u00a0He dwells on the themes found in the 3rd Omnibus of Vagabond. He is also giving away Shigeru Mizuki’s Onwards Towards Our Noble Deaths<\/a>. You better tell him what’s your favorite historical manga!<\/p>\n

Terry Hong also felt the need to look into Vagabond<\/a>. And in the spirit of samurais, he also looked into House of Five Leaves<\/a> by Natsume Ono<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In The Beautiful World, Neko reviews MW with a historical perspective<\/a>. He takes into context the tension of post-war Japan and the taboo sexualities that Tezuka explored. It’s interesting because I rarely see Tezuka contextualized so it’s a good read. I wonder why no one is looking at Buddha? Oh wait, Terry did<\/a>. Anime Diet also has a look into samurais with Path of the Assassins by Kazuo Koike.\u00c2\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Jocelyn Allen from Brain vs. Book looks at Naoto Yamakawa’s Chokodoshujin<\/a>, a manga about the life of Ryunosuke Akutagawa. I too have no knowledge about his life. And for a while I was thinking if he wrote mysteries and then I realize that it was Edogawa Ranpo. lol. But it looks like an interesting book and hopefully I get to read about it.<\/p>\n

Speaking of authors’ lives, Terry Hong himself discovered Jiro Taniguchi’s book Times of Botchan<\/a>, a look into the life of Natsume Soseki, a famous author who I sadly remember most for “I am a cat.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Right here in Otaku Champloo, I talk about manga and memories, particularly why historical manga is relevant to us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
