Well that’s another similarity, at least based on what other people have said so about it lol

I spent an entire morning a few days ago reading Prison School. I don’t know why I had a sudden urge to read it. I finished up to Chapter ~90 at which point most people say it goes down hill.

It’s a fun read so far though. Not a life-changing experience obviously but it’s ridiculously entertaining. I probably looked stupid giggling under my sheets that day. Also, the art style is incredible. For some reason, this inspired me to study drawing poses again. Too bad it’s not something I can read while out in public.

I’d categorize this one with Domestic Girlfriend as “Stupid But Very Entertaining Manga With Great Art”.

I’ve caught up with the English translation of Asako.

I really like it. The first few pages might deter a lot of people but I think the author handles the age gap relationship quite well and the other themes in the book like sexuality, preadolescence, memories, adulthood, etc. I expected the entire story to revolve around the relationship of the two but it extends far past that.

Depending on how it goes from here, it might be up there with my other all time favorites like Flowers of Evil and Three Days of Happiness.

Maybe I’ll put up a post comparing it with “My Boy” some day as they’re both similar situations but handled differently.
