Flying Witch volume 1 by Chihiro Ishizuka
Teenage girl slice of life but she's a witch? Yes please! I watched the anime before I read this and both are lovely, I hope I get to read more of these. Special mention to this mandrake, I love him so much.
Tank Girl Visions of Booga by Alan Martin (writer), Rufus Dayglo (artist), Christian Krank (colours)
Tank Girl holds a special place in my heart and Rufus Dayglo's art is so good. I'm pretty sure I read this years ago but don't really remember it. Reading it this time I was just obsessively staring at the artwork. Also I'm not sure if it was part of the drawing or the colour but I love all the screen tone. I don't know if it's "real" or digital but ever since the manga exhibit I've been craving some screen tone to have a play with so I particularly enjoyed staring at that.
Hayate the Combat Butler volume 12 by Kenjiro Hata
This is one we picked up at the library sale and is all I know of the series. Considering I started at the 12th volume and haven't seen any of the anime either I still enjoyed this. I always enjoy when things break the fourth wall and I like it when there's pop culture references in stuff too. And the alien character with the eyeball hair that was also wings? One of those "I wish I'd designed that" moments, I loved them.
Ghost World by Daniel Clowes
After seeing Nerdburger's new hair I had a hankering to re-read Ghost World. Shockingly I don't actually own it but it's okay, the library is my best friend. I think this really does portray being an idiot, confused teen-almost-adult really well. Plus that green *chefs kiss*.
