    Manga Mentions - Our Aimless Nights & Hotta-Sensei

    High school rom-coms are a tried and true formula and these titles demonstrate in different ways: Koumori's adolescent rom-com Our Aimless Nights is a boy-meets-girl scenario where the two secretly flirt with one another after school and figure out where both of each other lie in each other's lives. It is a dive into the "will-they, won't they" as told in the tune of shy romance. Mao Nakada's ecchi You're So Sloppy, Hotta-sensei places a part-time working high school boy to work for his new client - his teacher. At the risk of social embarrassment and scandal, they both agree to hide their client relationship in the hopes of making both of their lives a little more organized. Many thanks to Evan Minto of Azuki for the press screeners : Chapters 1 - 11 Our Aimless Nights Chapters 1 - 6 You're So Sloppy, Hotta-sensei Our Aimless Nights is digitally published by Azuki; translated by Jan Mitsuko Cash You're So Sloppy, Hotta-sensei is digitally published by Azuki; translated by M.

    Manga Mentions - If I Could Die Tomorrow & Gannibal (Volume 1)

    Two grim titles with one common motif - the unknown. Sumako Kari in her award-winning title, Since I Could Die Tomorrow, explores the malaise of being in your forties as told in two characters: one a film promoter who experiences menopause for the time and a mother who works part time amidst co workers twenty years younger than she. Masaaki Ninomiya's horror manga, Gannibal, takes you into the mystery of a rumored village known for cannibalism through the eyes of a police officer/family man. As they get closer to the truth, the townsfolk becomes much more hostile. Will the case be solved, and can the family make it out in one piece? Many thanks to Erik Jansen for the press copies for both titles. Since I Could Die Tomorrow is published by Tokyo Pop; translated by David Bove Gannibal is published by Ablaze; translated by Alex Kon

    Programmed for Feelings? "Make a Girl" World Premiere

    When a robot is designed to have human-like traits and emotions, are these feelings necessarily sentient or programmed? Independent 3DCG animator Gensho Yasuda makes his directorial debut with Make a Girl about a young inventor named Akira who - out of a cheeky suggestion to 'get a girlfriend' - decides to create a humanoid robot named No. 0 with all the physical and emotional capabilities of typical high school girls. However, the looming question remains: is this love real or machine-driven? Your backdoor anime hangout got a chance to watch this at Global Stage Hollywood for its world premiere and will share with you our thoughts and takes! Make a Girl premieres 31 January 2025. Make a Girl Website Many thanks to Kwok Hansen and Kwai of Anime Trending and Douglas Montgomery of Global Stage Hollywood for the invitation! *Apologies for the poor audio quality on the host's end - technical difficulties on his end.
