![]() I’m guessing this was an author request so that her penname (こなみ かなた) would be consistent in both hiragana and romaji. The Complete Chi’s Sweet Home is slightly bigger than Chi’s Sweet Home (according to Amazon, 5.9 x 7.9 versus 5 x 7), and combined with the lower price, the omnibuses are the way to go.Īlso note that in the original single volume releases, the author is listed on the title as “Kanata Konami” before switching to “Konami Kanata” in the fifth volume. Or maybe I’ll correct myself as soon as I review FukuFuku. (Well, maybe one short chapter and some ads for the 3D Chi’s Sweet Home and the omnibuses.) Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. So if you pick up that series (also available from Vertical), I don’t think you’re missing anything if you already own the individual volumes of Chi’s Sweet Home. The omnibuses boast of “bonus cat comics”, but I think they’re all excerpts from Konami’s FukuFuku: Kitten Tales. ![]() ![]() Although Chi wants to find her mama and the Yamada family’s apartment doesn’t allow pets, is it possible they can make a new home together?įirst, I have to say after years of reading manga in Japanese style, it takes some time to adjust to the left-to-right format!Īlso, while the featured image shows the original release, I am reviewing the omnibus version ( The Complete Chi’s Sweet Home).

Whatever your stance on police accountability and systemic racism, the malice displayed in the video of Floyd’s death likely triggered the gut-level intuition that, at the very least, Chauvin shouldn’t walk free, and probably deserves significant punishment for taking a life for no good reason. In the face of clear evidence that he intentionally and unnecessarily inflicted harm sufficient to kill George Floyd, I suspect most of us hoped he wouldn’t get away with murder. ![]() The collective sigh of relief after the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict says a lot about our conception of justice. ![]() ![]() ![]() The books have sold over 2 million copies and are published in 26 languages, now Blind Ferret bring you a comprehensive, full colour graphic novel of The First Law adapted by Chuck Dixon and edited by Rich Young, with art by Andie Tong, Colors by Pete Pantazis, Letters and Design by Bill Tortolini, and with input and oversight at every stage from Joe Abercrombie. ![]() Buy MotoAlliance DENALI ATV 60 inch Universal Snow Plow Kit: Plows - Amazon.

I’d put black and white film in one camera and color in the other. (We still have the enlarger and other equipment in storage.)
