In 1997 Koichi Mashimo adapted Akihito Yoshitomi’s Eat-Man for television. It got surrealistic. It got symbolist. It got anti-war, anti-hypocrisy, anti-capitalist. It got weird and it got real.

The Millionaire Detective – Balance: UNLIMITED
Series review of Millionaire Detective – Balance: UNLIMITED. Detective Haru Katou must find a way to work with recruit Daisuke Kanbe, a filthy rich playboy who thinks money can solve any problem.

The Seeds
The Seeds ( @annienocenti @davaja @karenpberger ) is a carefully constructed graphic novel about technology, nature, what we deem to call ‘alien’, journalism ethics and fake news. A jewel that begs to be reread to grasp its questioning. @DarkHorseComics
DetailsIs Fake the Greatest Comics Movie?
Is 1996 Fake, based on Sanami Matoh’s manga about a closeted gay police detective and his bisexual partner in the NYPD, the greatest comics-based movie of all time? It has murders, romance, betting, slapstick, and more romance. So, probably.
