Last week was Obon Yasumi, a big holiday week in Japan. It's about honoring the dead, but most people use it to go traveling. My wife and I went to Lake Biwa (Biwako) for a belated honeymoon. It was fantastically relaxing, and the beach was so fun.
And what better to bring on a beach vacation (at least if you're me) than a fat stack of comics?
Well, I didn't bring them exactly. On the first night we went into town and popped into Tsutaya (a popular movie rental chain) where I found that they also rent out manga. My town does not have a manga rental store or even a nearby Book Off, so I was pretty stoked. I wanted to do a review of all five, but they were not all... worth it.
Anyway, a pic from my favorite (a BL book about bugs):

ReplyDeleteI laughed so hard at this.
Manga on movie rental places...? BOOK OFF (which I just googled)? Ugh. There's not even a library here.
