Status Updates From Sisa Empat Nyawa: Tatsuya E...

This one about witches was so much better than the one with the guy sexually harassing the princess my gooood.

However, you can kind of tell that back then Endo LOVED writing badass borderline violent women djdbdusjs I mean he kind of still does but it's less obvious and they have more variety when it comes to personalities!

This is killing meeeee omfg in this second short story the enemies are sexist men too?? Mr Endo had a bone to pick with the patriarchy in 2000, alright! I'm not mad at this discovery!

Which is funny because at the same time why does some random guy keep sexually harassing the main girl character and it's played out as comedy… You can kind of tell we're still at entry-level feminism without much soul-searching yet?

Okayyyyy it was (rather shallow) 101 girlboss feminism… BUT I expected way worse from a story written by a 20 year-old man in 2000, so I'll take it.

Dhdvdidhduz you can tell it was written in 2000 by a 20 year-old… it's like a little dated attempt at a girlboss character. Dare I say, it might be an attempt at a little feminism, but I am scaaaaared of what could be the execution. So let's see…

I'm not expecting anything really great, I am simplv curious to see the author's evolution art-wise and story-wise!

Also, it's kind of funny to notice how every short story he wrote in the past seems to be centered around a woman or a girl? Bare minimum of course but pleasant enough to notice! Then again, let's see how these female characters are written before I start giving flowers...

The Witch Craze story...it honestly looks like a copy of the Witch and the Beast.

Seriously, the artwork is not charming.

The artwork and the character design is nothing to write home to.

Fuck, when a injured young woman is lying unconscious, the guy's reaction is trying to kiss her? That's fucking gross.

The first story is so interesting, the artwork is overcrowded and messy.

Why am I just realizing this is a short story collection. I just picked it up bc I love Spy x Family. Either way that 1st one was pretty good.

"Mana ada orang nak makan aiskrim waktu sejuk macam ni."

Hmmm. Salah! Agaknya mangaka ni tak pernah jumpa orang melayu yang gila nak makan eskrem waktu sejuk2. 😂
