right. that, too… Osamu was kinda the key for me, the same way that Uncle Walt is the cornerstone of American cartoons, essentially. whenever I’m trying to understand something, I liked to go back to the beginning. once you get the solid foundation from the root, it’s easier to understand the branches and choose what you like and what you don’t >I don't know, maye I should try that sometime... but the >romantic comedies, teen, housewife,and salaryman dramas, >shit there was even a comic a friend of mine read regularly >called 'Pachi-Puro' about a professional pachinko player... >no, not for me.
hahaha… see, that’s the stuff I’m trying to see more of, actually. just to see what they’re like… I understand they even have “exam comics”!
