I will say that i am a huge fan of autobiographical manga works, and this is no exception, the unique look into a manga author's life is incredibly enjoyable to me for some reason.
Paru tells the story of her childhood well with the unique art style and stylised characters, the perspective of having a famous mangaka as a father is well told with Keisuke Itagaki being portrayed as a huge demon-thing.
The manga is published monthly in Kiss Magazine, as it is very new there is no official English release yet, although there are scans in English of 11 chapters as of writing this.

Metamorphose no Engawa
(Manga)
add
An amazing manga that shows how manga can connect people across generations, no matter who you are or what your upbringing is. I found great enjoyment in reading this.
Story: the story is slow moving with the plot revolving around character progression as the two characters meet with each other and discover more about themselves. Art: I'm a huge fan of the art, the way the characters are drawn especially. Although the backgrounds are often filled with a lot of white space and fairly minimalist which I know some people don't enjoy. There is an official English release! In 2020 alone 3 volumes are being released (by Seven ...

(Manga)
add
As i write this there are 3 chapters translated to English of this manga, while in Japanese there are 3 volumes with a total of 23 chapters of about 300 pages total.
The art is incredible, really unique and so stylised, the Miyanaga Ryu has a serious affinity for fashion i swear. The story is short and slightly depressing, but it is a really nice read especially since the pages are so beautiful. The main character (Einstein) is slightly ambiguous so i post here that he is confirmed a Boy in case there is any confusion. If you can read Japanese and want to find out more ...

Kendo Shitouden Cestvs
(Manga)
add
A good sequel to the first series, Kentou Ankokuden Cestvs. Wazarai Shizuya (fun fact: Shizuya is said to be a highschool friend & assistant to Kentaro Miura, the author of Berserk) manages to tell a nice not too complex story of character growth throughout, along with introducing more unique people into his story.
Unfortunately the chapters published very sporadically (i think it's published in Young Animal Arashi which folded in 2018), at the time of writing this the last release was nine months ago, so don't pick this up if you're expecting a complete story. Would recommend if you like people getting punched |
