It’s a day in the life of your average househusband—if your average househusband is the legendary yakuza “the Immortal Dragon”!A former yakuza legend leaves it all behind to become your everyday househusband. But it’s not easy to walk away from the gangster life, and what should be mundane household tasks are anything but! On what begins as just another shopping trip, Tatsu has a run-in with a thief—of the feline persuasion! When the gangster-turned-homemaker gives chase, yakuza are quickly drawn into the fray, and chaos erupts in the streets of the shopping district. Even everyday errands can turn treacherous when you’re the Immortal Dragon!

The first two volumes were largely tone-building (as opposed to world-building), as we knew little of what was going on. Very atmospheric. But in this third volume there is suddenly a great deal happening. We don't know everything, but we know enough to know there is a struggle between the two worlds, and Shiva, The Little Girl (from the other side), seems to be in the middle of this struggle. Shiva's aunt comes to the Outside to bring her home, with the help of some soldiers who informed her that they knew she was staying with The Teacher. Who is the real monster in this scenario, and who truly has Shiva's best interests at heart? What is this struggle really about, and what is "the curse" all about? We seem to know more, but can we trust what we know? The drawing is the center of this series, and the creation of mystery, suspense, foreboding. Is it fantasy? Horror? Seems to be both, with a (hopeful) dose of sweetness.

Created by Kenturo Miura, Berserk is manga mayhem to the extreme - violent, horrifying, and mercilessly funny - and the wellspring for the internationally popular anime series. Not for the squeamish or the easily offended, Berserk asks for no quarter - and offers none! His name is Guts, the Black Swordsman, a feared warrior spoken of only in whispers. Bearer of a gigantic sword, an iron hand, and the scars of countless battles and tortures, his flesh is also indelibly marked with The Brand, an unholy symbol that draws the forces of darkness to him and dooms him as their sacrifice. But Guts won't take his fate lying down; he'll cut a crimson swath of carnage through the ranks of the damned - and anyone else foolish enough to oppose him! Accompanied by Puck the Elf, more an annoyance than a companion, Guts relentlessly follows a dark, bloodstained path that leads only to death...or vengeance.

I have an old memory, as a 14 or 15-year-old, when a channel in Australia called SBS started airing subtitled / subbed anime. Possibly their second show (after "Akira") happened to be a post-apocalyptic anime named "Neon Genesis Evangelion". I would be hooked on that show, and others of the medium from that point onwards.So, reading the manga pretty much elicited the same feelings of excitement, though tempered with a more adult view of things. Shinji Akari, the protagonist of this series, starts out as a very apathetic young man of 14 years (coincidentally, the same age as I was when I first delved into the world of anime). He's been living with his aunty and uncle, who has been caring for him since his father, Gendo Akari, foisted Shinji onto them. Compounding the rejection from his father, his mother is also no longer in the picture. So he's had to deal with parental rejection by shielding himself (and his heart) in a shell of apathy so that no one could ever hurt him emotionally.The world is also very much a traumatised one, where in the year 2000, a traumatic event dubbed The Second Impact, wiped out almost half of the world's population. 15 years later, in 2015, Angels have suddenly appeared once more - which is where the story begins.On a character level, I don't think that Shinji appreciates how much the adults in his life (primarily Gendo, but also Misato) have been manipulating him, rejecting him when he didn't want to be a pilot for the eponymous Evangelion, knowing full well that eventually, he would be interested enough to remain a pilot. For that matter, Shinji has also been testing the people around him, rejecting them as a way to prove that "see, they don't want you around anyways" before he connected too deeply, only to be rejected. I find that concept fascinating. Especially moreso since the need and desire for human connection and belonging is so much an integral facet of what it means to be human. Adding to that are the machinations of NERV, as well as the shadowy figures aiding Gendo Akari. I know that there's more to come, but I'm hoping that I'll finally obtain some sort of clarity as to what happens in the end. (I only watched the 26-episode series, and have never watched the OVAs: "Death and Rebirth" and "The End of Evangelion", having pegged them as being too gory for me to handle).At least the drawings by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto are aesthetically pleasing to look at, while I try to wrap my head around what I have found to be a very convoluted story... :)

They called him “the Immortal Dragon.” But one day he walked away from it all to walk another path—the path of the househusband! The curtain rises on this cozy yakuza comedy!
