   Showa 1953–1989: A History of Japan Coming in July 2015   
      
   	In the meantime if you like grotesque horror   
   have a gander at Tomino the Damned   
      
   	==================================	   
        "Tomino the Damned" 「トミノの地   
   1   
   ,   
   A new book by Suehiro Maruo was published on November 11, 2014 by   
   EnterBrain / Kadokawa.   
      
        The book is 176 pages and was originally serialized in Comic Beam   
   magazine earlier in 2014. More details are here.   
      
      A few chapters are online but buy the manga if you can possibly.   
   I only read one chapter.  But Tomino has a brother who is also   
   discommoded.  We have a whole crew of the other-formed,   
      
   	==================================	   
      
   I have been re-reading my digital Hourou Musuko and am not surprisd it   
   is holding up.on 2nd or 3rd read-though.   
      
   	==================================	   
      
   Reading or re-reading Shikii no Juunin  The art work looks much better   
   this time though the plot is familiar about the boy who meets a man   
   who looks like him but is his middle-school teacher.  Troublesome   
   boy meets a teacher who was troublesome in his school days with   
   a conformist principal who still picks on the teacher.  This is   
   by Shimura Takako who wrote Hourou Musuko.   
      
   	==================================	   
      
   Nihon Chinbotsu (Japan is Sinking) has a few more chapters out and   
   it seems a bit draggy with a scientist who might have been drawn by   
   Tezuka doddering about at length.   
      
   	==================================	   
      
   Finally Stop!! Hibari-kun! is coming out as a couple of chapters   
   every few days,   Still funny after all these years! Whoops!   
   White alligators all over the place,   
      
      
   	Enjoy your reading.
