Candy & Cigarettes
Check this out because it’s by Tomonori Inoue who did Coppelion. Retired bodyguard gramps joins up with a 11 year old girl who’s a hitman. Seems similar to the comic Kickass. Seems pretty generic but I liked Coppelion so I think I’ll keep checking this out for now.

I’ve always loved Yoko Nihonbashi’s manga but her current series Shojo Fight is easily my favorite. It’s so refreshing to find a female sports manga that doesn’t overly sexualize the girls or have them not openly discuss their problems!

ATOM: THE BEGINNING
This manga is so wonderful. Too bad the anime wasted 5 of it’s 12 episodes on filler.

Really like this manga about siblings who don’t work and stay at home. It’s probably the most upbeat manga about neets I’ve ever read!
