Original title: "Kine-san no Hitori de Kinema" or "I love cinema, I am lonely"
The movie choices for the second volume are as stacked as the first: Studio GHIBLI, Titanic, Mad Max: Fury Road, and the best The Hangover movie (definitely the first one). James Cameron gets a lot of love from the author and Kine-san. The director only perfected the blockbuster movie after all. I'm expecting another appearance of a work from his filmography soon, and I hope it's either Aliens or True Lies.
This is the best volume yet, and all the chapters in it are pretty good. Of the six collected here, Chapter 6, which is about GHIBLI movies stands out from field of equally good chapters. It had to be an extra-sized chapter to contain the discussion on what is the best GHIBLI work to start, and did it become spirited. Kine-san gets a taste of her overbearing hobbyist ways. It even works in the appropriate Nietzsche quote, and this manga is the last place I'd find one thrown at me.
I can't believe this series has ran long enough for eight volumes and without an official English release. Forget an anime, the rights issues would be a pain to sort out, but an English edition would be nice.

He who fights too long against dragons becomes a dragon himself; and if you gaze too long into the abyss, the abyss will gaze into you.
