According to a tracker, my biggest waste of time this year was reading the terrible Akagi (that took 20 years to publish!!). Here is the review to save your time:

Review: Akagi

Akagi (Mahjong Legend Akagi, アカギ ～闇に降り立った天才～), 1991-2018, Fukumoto, Nobuyuki, Kindai Mahjong STORY: 2 Meet Akagi, a young gambler who is not afraid of death! And.. that's it. We have a title purely centered on a single character and, despite the manga running for 27 years, the hero gets zero development! Akagi is just some mysterious, disinterested figure that appears when gambling stakes are high. He gambles on Mahjong, that tile game you must have seen if you […]

Manga Review: Crazy Food Truck

Full review: https://mangaispolitical.noblogs.org/post/2025/03/18/review-crazy-food-truck-%e3%82%af%e3%83%ac%e3%82%a4%e3%82%b8%e3%83%bc%e3%83%95%e3%83%bc%e3%83%89%e3%83%88%e3%83%a9%e3%83%83%e3%82%af/

STORY: 3

Meet Gordon Goliath, a man driving a food truck around a post-apocalyptic landscape. He encounters the mysterious Arisa, a character defined by constantly being hungry and flashing her naked body. There’s other characters that are, without exception, stereotypes from the most generic manga, and they are not even worthy to talk about.
The strongest point of the manga is the cooking scenes. As for the story, it’s a mix from different genres but all the aspects feel so shallow, and sometimes lazy, that there’s also not much to care about.

Review: The Legend of the Strongest Man Kurosawa

The Legend of the Strongest Man Kurosawa (最強伝説黒沢), 2003-2006, Fukumoto, Nobuyuki, Big Comic Original STORY: 4 Meet Kurosawa, an average construction worker who feels he has not accomplished anything in his life. He is grumpy, awkward, envious and immature. We are following his routine of painful moments, as he fails at being respected, attracting women, or making friends. And the rest of his time is spent on frustration, as he keeps comparing himself to others, or to his idea a […]

Review: Sakuranbo Syndrome

Sakuranbo Syndrome (Cupid's Prank II: Cherry Syndrome, Cupid no Itazura II, さくらんぼシンドローム クピドの悪戯II), 2006-2009, Kitazaki, Taku, Young Sunday (Weekly) STORY: 2 Meet Munenori Agawa, your everyday manga office worker. His life takes an 'exciting' turn when, for the sake of altruism, he has to french kiss a kid everyday! Here is how I imagine the story was born. One day in the editor's office, the mangaka Kitazaki Taku was pitching for his new series: "I have […]

Review: Usogui

Usogui (The Lie Eater), 2006-2017, Sako, Toshio, Young Jump STORY: 4 Meet Usogui, the king of gamblers! He has an agenda and he is willing to bet his life to succeed. Along with his companions, his fate will cross a LOT of very colorful (read mostly psychotic) characters along Kakerou, a mysterious organization of game referees (and at the same time assassins because why not) that operates in the shadows of Japan. The story is a succession of high-stake 'games' that Usogui takes on to […]

🚨 Don’t Waste Your Money on Chin Mounts! 🚨

❌ Poor quality & overpriced – It's a cheap 3D print with some sharp edges.
❌ Bad fit – Blocks air vent replacement on the Nexx X.WED2.
❌ Weak adhesive – Tiny 3M tape doesn’t hold the mount with camera securely.
❌ Terrible customer service – Asked for pics, then ghosted me. No warranty.

Spent $35 + $15 customs for something that feels like a $3 product. Save your money! 💸

Megalopolis - Decided to give it a shot, esp. after Sight & Sound put it in their Top 50, but turns out they're just asslicking Coppola - This is an absolute dog's dinner of a film. Bad FX, mountains of painful, laboured visual metaphors, a script with enormous unexplained holes (where did Dustin Hoffman go? etc) and no chemistry whatsoever between the leads. Managed to watch it all, but only because it kept us laughing.

@RickiTarr I got plenty of hot takes to hurt christofacists' feelings...

Everyone is free to take them:

  • "Are you already taking Classes in Russian? Cuz Trump will offer the USA on a silver paltter for Putin!!

  • "I guess 92 years after the Nazis we'll see a Brain Drain from the USA to Germany cuz >50% decided to not give a fuck and of the rest slightly more than 50% decided to vote for a Hitler Speedrunner!"

  • "Be shure to enjoy this Thanksgiving, cuz it'll be my last on U.S. soil!"

  • "Whilst you're busy destroying America by being the useful idiot Trump wants you to be, people are fleeing and I'll be one of them!"

  • "Your accmplicity if facism is an act of.high trrwason and an insult to every WW2 veteran!"

  • "Have fun becoming poor under Trump!"

  • "If I had even 1% of the same evel of assholeism in me your pronouns would've been nonconsensually changed to was/were ages ago.

  • "I don't talk to facists, I force them into conditionless surrender!"

  • "People who wish to harm me and/or my friends aren't my family! You are merely related by blood to me without my consent and your usefulness will be limited to being evidence for filing asylum overseas!"

  • "You ruined Thanksgiving and Christmas for so many people that I'm not gonna talk to you ever again!"

  • "Trump voters don't deserve the honor of being acknowledged by me!"
