Hungry Marie

A manga about High Schooler Taiga Bijogi who ends up becoming a vessel for Marie-Thérèse Charlotte after participating in a resurrection ceremony for the girl next door he’s in love with.

We’ve discussed this in a previous episode.

Here’s another example of a manga artist struggling with their past success. Ryuhei Tamura previous work, Beelzebub, was fairly popular and even had an anime adaptation. In comparison Hungry Marie suffers from some awkward body swap clichés that are pretty outdated by modern standards. It was canceled after 32 chapters.

Currently Tamura is drawing a new series for Weekly Shonen Jump called Hardboiled Cop and Dolphin and it’s not really doing well. I feel bad for him but I won’t be surprised if that one also gets canceled.
