Voynich Hotel addpermalink

Both manga are by Dowman Sayman, and they both delight the reader with bizarre, quirky, and often heartwarming occurrences.

Manga: Daidai wa, Hantoumei ni Nidone suru

Daidai wa, Hantoumei ni Nidone suru addpermalink

Both of these are excellent short story collections with some connections between chapters (in Nickelodeon, some chapters get sequels and in Daidai there's a slight storyline going on involving a policeman and a girl who claims to be fighting aliens), filled with black comedy and dashes of surrealism.

Mushi to Uta addpermalink

Weird one shots where the bizarre collide with the mundane, in the most serious of manners.

If you enjoy reading bizarre one shots, then it wouldn't be a stretch to say you'd enjoy this recommendation.

Yoru no Tenohira addpermalink

If you enjoy reading weird ass short stories that are mildly funny, but don't make much sense either way.

Dementia 21 addpermalink

If you enjoy the combination of horror, grotesque stories and black humor, then those manga might be exactly what you're looking for.

Henshin no News addpermalink

Both of them are short story collections (although Nickelodeon's stories are SHORT, lasting only a few pages) with a knack for black comedy. Henshin no News is a bit more frequently down to earth than Nickelodeon, but when it dives into the surreal it goes into it even deeper.

World Gaze Clips addpermalink

Both series follow an anthology format containing a bunch of short stories following different characters. However, World Gaze Clips' stories tend to span multiple chapters while Nickelodeon's stories end in 8 paged chapters. World Gaze Clips tends to focus on coming of age themes while Nickelodeon covers a far broader range of love, sexuality, religion, and mortality.

I find that both series are incredibly charming in the way that at the end of each story I get some kind message as well as a smile stretched across my face. Sometimes the story can make feel a little sad, but it's a good kind of sadness because it means I actually built an attachment for characters I just met. Personally, I feel the two series go well together as World Gaze Clips gives you more fleshed out stories/characters while Nickelodeon gives you a larger number of stories/characters.

Both series are styled with a strong sense of surrealism, although it is more subdued in World Gaze Clips while Nickelodeon is more blatant. If you're familiar with Douman Seiman's style of writing at all then you'll immediately recognize Nickelodeon as one of his series. It follows his format of 8 paged sweet/charming stories that usually have some kind of twist or surprise at the last page. Igarashi Ran's style in World Gaze Clips can get pretty angsty at times since most of the characters seem pretty apathetic, but it works because it makes the stories surprisingly relatable.

One thing I think that Nickelodeon has over World Gaze Clips is that most, if not all, the stories are interconnected as well as their characters, and it gives a rewarding feeling as a reader. Although I hear that in some later chapters World Gaze Clips does revisit some of its characters.

While both series follow a similar format they each give a different flavor of the same thing, and different reading experiences. With that in mind, hopefully you read both! read more

Fuan no Tane addpermalink

Both manga feature several one shots that show us a wide variety of scenarios - right from the mundane to the bizarre. However, while Nick's focus is on giving bizarre situations a comedic approach, Fuan is out and out a horror manga.
