    I like this comic and your art stye. I can relate to this so much because I remember when I moved from the England to Sarasota, it was hard for me to make friends because everyone in school knew each other since they were kids. I was often alone and bullied because I was an immigrant so I was very introverted until I went to Ringling. And I felt like once I got to Ringling I made many friends and I can easily socialize with people because I share common things with them.

Week 3: Gekiga

Image
I don't know how I really feel about "Cigarette Girl". It took me a while to get into reading it just to get used to the style of Matsumoto's writing and progression. On the other hand, the context was very light-hearted and just entertaining to read. A simple slice of life of everyday life with a little humor.  However, I was not very fond of the art style. In last week's topic, I mentioned how I love Tezuka's simplistic style but with Matsumoto's style, I did not like it. I felt that his style felt bland, despite the comical moments. When I pick a certain manga, I usually judge whether I like the art style or not. I did manage to pull it through and get to understand the story a bit but I would personally not want to continue reading it.

Week 13: Oishinbo

Oishinbo generally is about cultural foods and what is in them that makes it good and how they are made. It is quite relaxing to read as it is not story-heavy but instead it tells you the many facts and appreciation of foods from other cultures. It makes the story feel more realistic. I also like how it is not exaggerated with characteristics like a lot of other shows do such as Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma. It is a nice break to read about the cultural aspects and the value we have in our foods today.

Week 12: Silver Spoon

Image
The story takes place in an agricultural school where people are very familiar with livestock. Hachiken has a strong relationship he had with this pig named Katsudon every since it was a baby. He raised it and cared for it as it was his friend. But eventually, he had to give Katsudon away and bought his meat, and made a pork barbeque. He was sad and did not take it for granted, as he appreciated more than anyone else. And eventually, Hachiken gave everyone a wake-up call that livestock is not just animals but their friend who gives you life. Animals are cherished and appreciated, giving them the rights that they deserve. This anime gives a really strong message that animals give us food on the table and we should be more appreciated for them than ourselves who work for the food. It truly makes me think how much we are not thankful enough for the sacrifices these animals make and I believe every animal needs to live a happy fulfilling life because they deserve it more than we do.
