Master Keaton (comic)




Master Keaton (comic)
Story by Hokusei Katsushika
Cartoon by Naoki Urasawa

Hiraga Keaton Taichi who is a main character in this comic is a Lloyd’s insurance investigator.
He is also an archaeologist; he graduated from Oxford university and is a former SAS instructor.
He is British Japanese . He married a Japanese woman, but they divorced. They have a daughter.
Currently he is saving funds for expensive future excavation activities. Lloyd’s insurance orders him on many cases to detect, but because of his SAS training, they often put him in danger.
He doesn’t look like a smart guy but he is unique, talented and considerate of others. When you’re stressing out, I recommend this comic to read, because the actions and bravery of this hero who doesn’t pretend to be perfect gives you lots of energy.

Mama ha temparist-Mom is desperate
Akiko Higashimura
The author of this book sometimes felt “temparu” while raising her son. “Temparu” means that when sudden accident happen we can’t fix it soon and feel desperate and rushed. So she calls herself a “temparist”.
My favorite story is about when her son can’t stop sucking her breast. So she draws a man’s face on her breast (actually, hero character of gorugo 13). And when she rode a bicycle with him, she shouted out “He is still sucking my breast!!” for neighbors. He felt bashful about it. But he can’t stop it.
Mama ha Timpanist is so popular with young moms, because the comic is easy to read, and the author’s honest points of view are funny and we feel empathic with every episode in this book.

Tosyokan sensou -Library War (anime)


In an imaginary modern world in Japan, a law is passed to crack down on moral corruptions and abuse of human rights within the media. The government censors wrongly, too strictly.
Everyone can read any books in the library only, but can’t get all books from a bookshop or a magazine stand. So then, a library squad is needed to protect books and readers in a library.
Lt Doujou and Kasara who is a new comer and tomboyish heroin in this anime become close to each other through their special military bond.
And “ahoka kisama” (means “You’re a klutz” is my moe (means exciting and favorite) words. He said this to her because he actually cares about her so much, he was strict to her from his feeling of responsibility and love.
