MW by Osamu Tezkua

 LAST ONE OF THE YEAR, FOLKS! Boy…oh…boy, these are the kind of books that should be made into movies. FUCK TWILIGHT, FUCK HARRY POTTER and FUCK 50 SHADES OF GRAY (while I do like 2 of the 3). This is by far the single best piece of anime I have ever picked up and I’m not just saying this to just talk out of my ass. IT’S THAT GOOD!

Written by the god of Japanese graphic novels, Osamu Tezkua, MW is about Michio Yuki, a good looking, intelligent fellow with a promising gig at a major bank in Tokyo, Japan. However, underneath this picture of perfection lies a deranged psychopath with deep secrets that can very well shake the world to its core. We also meet Father Garai, a “good-doing” priest who also has a lot of skeletons in his closet. Now bear with me, this part is a little lengthy but shockingly interesting…

The secret these two share?  15 years ago in a tiny island near the mainland called “Okino Mafune Island” a deadly gas weapon that was stored in a U.S. Army air force storage base called MW had an accidental leakage on the island that killed thousands of men, women, children, and animals. Yuki and Garai were visitors on the island with their friends, as the leakage, occurred they hid in an underground cave for days while their friends lay dead above ground and on top of that…they’re LOVERS.

15 years later, Yuki (btw: whose mind is now contaminated by the MW gas which is slowly killing him) has turned into a mental case while still maintaining a relationship with Garai with blackmail and manipulation. Yuki then starts getting himself into a gory murder spree and a lot Oscar-winning cross dressing and acting in order to expose the politicians who covered up the gas leak incident and locate the barrels of MW gas to exterminate all of mankind.  Whew, epic isn’t it? Again this story is absolutely incredible; it’s jaw-dropping and somewhat funny with every turn of the page.

I said at the start of this article that this is the kind of book that should be made into movies. Well…with a little digging, to my shock and dismay, I’m happy to announce that there is a film to this novel…but only in japan. I have not checked it out yet but I will as soon as you’re probably finished reading this.

In closing, I’d like to thank all of you, the readers, who took the time out to read my ramblings this year.  By doing so you showed that you have a love for anime & manga and don’t want to read all the titles that we already know and love. Ever since my first review back in June, my job was to introduce you to titles and authors new and fresh or some you or I have never heard of.  I’d also, of course, like to thank the boss of the fine network/website... own Double A. He took the time out to listen to me nag about how great this review series can be and Blah…blah…blah, people can say anything negative about this dude all they want, but one thing you can’t say is that is that he doesn’t  give everyone a shot. I was a nervous wreck the first time I called into WCIS and The Rant, now I have my own show a great article series and a group of people who have supported me since this network began. I couldn’t ask for anything more than that. (except maybe a paycheck )

So until 2K14, OVER AND OUT FUCKERS!

 Anime Novel Of The Month August 2013 - The Push Man & Other Stories by Yoshihiro Tatsumi

 I love all kinds of anime. Blood and guts, Samurai stories, Yakuza stories, Comedies … You name it I like it. This month I wanted something different. I wanted to shy away from all the violence and blood; I kind of wanted a nice realistic fiction life kind of story.

“The Push man and other stories” is a complication gritty, literary, visual story about the private lives of everyday people in japan. There are 16 stores in this novel, each of them are short but straight to the point and very entertaining. One of the stories titled “Piranha” tells the tale of a factory worker struggling to make ends meet. He’s married to a very bitchy (there I go using that word again), needy bartender who makes more money than him…sort of. She constantly at this poor man’s neck with …

”Can you scrape up a million yen?”

“You spend your days loafing around like a king…”

“A million yen isn’t going to take care of us…”

He finally is fed up with it. What he does next can only be described by a quote by the great Chris Rock “I’m not saying he should’ve killed her….but I understand”

“Black Smoke”, another story in this novel, is about a garbage disposal man who’s together with a bimbo who cheats on him and comes home drunk every night. The disposal man gets into a car accident on his way home from work and is told he can never have kids again. A few days later he comes home from the hospital bandaged up, to find her wife back to her old ways. As I said before - a quote by the great Chris Rock “I’m not saying he should’ve killed her….but I understand”

Now I know what you’re asking… are all of these bad break-up stories? NO, they aren’t.  As I said before all of these stories tackle a certain personal issue.  I highly recommend this to all ages and all sexes. Yes, there is some TITTY sightings in the book… but what child hasn’t seen a pair of tits?

OVER AND OUT, FUCKERS!
