Elija2 recommends some manga

[Elija2]

I have no idea what Skip Beat is but it's nice to know that Cat Street is better.

It's been a while since I've read a manga but Haku burned through all of my recommendations so I have to pull myself away from Monster Hunter to read some more!


A Distant Neighborhood
Hiroshi, a middle-aged businessman, accidentally boards the wrong train and is sent to his old hometown. While he's there, he decides to pay a visit to his mother's grave and is somehow transported back in time to his childhood. With his memories still intact, he attempts to change his past and get to the bottom of his father's mysterious disappearance.

This manga is pretty short (that's why I read it) but it's still a nice story. It was also adapted into a live-action movie but surprisingly it's in French, not Japanese.

Solanin
If I read it some time ago, I probably woulda thought it was really good and emotional, but reading it now, I got kinda bored.

[Elija2]

Same. Was kinda disappointed by it to be honest.

[Elija2]

is she about to trip or something?

[Hakudamashi]

Well she can't trip over anything ever again.

Cause she's dead.

[Elija2]

Did she trip on her sword?

[Hakudamashi]

Didn't know she had one.

[Elija2]

The worst thing about making a joke on the internet is that you can't always tell if other people got it.

[Hakudamashi]

I got it.
But it's like
It wasn't a sword
And it wasn't her's.

[Elija2]

I never said it was the best joke.

But now I will. It was the best joke.

[Hakudamashi]

I didn't say it wasn't.

[Hakudamashi]

Awfully convenient how Hiroshi was unhappy with his wife and kids anyways...

[Elija2]

He wasn't unhappy with them at all though.
