@arpadokay @randimason @riteshwriter Maybe more similar in tone to Blue Giant is Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad, where a teen boy aims for rock band stardom, by Harold Sakushi fr. @KodanshaManga. the whole 34-volume series is now on @comiXology - https://t.co/kZjXJZiLwV

@arpadokay @randimason @riteshwriter I also very much enjoyed Those Snow White Notes by Marimo Ragawa (also fr @KodanshaManga) https://t.co/UKJD6PiGJR -- i learned so much about contemporary shamisen music by reading the manga + watching the anime to hear the tunes https://t.co/RGlzTp11Qg

@arpadokay @randimason @riteshwriter also classical music-centric, but maybe more of a romantic drama is Your Lie in April fr. @KodanshaManga - teens deal with pressure and heartbreak in the world of competitive piano playing - https://t.co/5WkF2R7yi3

@arpadokay @randimason @riteshwriter for classical music, there's Nodame Cantabile - a romantic comedy about a ditzy but gifted pianist & her uptight kind-of boyfriend who is aiming to be a world class conductor. @KodanshaManga has the whole run out now in digital - https://t.co/pXSxeDM0pu - it's also on @ReadAzuki

Given that Wotakoi is about 20-somethings working in an office who have geeky hobbies, there are many Japanese pop culture references that might fly over your head when you see them. For example, this Hatsune Miku reference had me all 🧐🤔🤨 https://t.co/p6jHJSorxX

On this week's @mangasplaining, David (@hermanos) raised an interesting theory on hair color as manga/anime character personality markers - comparing the pink/orange hair / black hair/glasses, green hair personalities in Wotakoi and Nozaki-kun... https://t.co/p6jHJSorxX

Our @mangasplaining chat about Wotakoi took us down some interesting conversation paths - about whether being an anime/manga/games/cosplay nerd is something you should hide from your friends or co-workers… https://t.co/p6jHJSorxX

After a few weeks of muy macho manga, next week’s @mangasplaining is a intermezzo / palate cleanser - nerdy romantic comedy Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku by Fujita, from @KodanshaManga - https://t.co/Eiwv35KYGs

Still gay, but maybe sweeter (and funnier!) is @comics212’s pick, Go For It Nakamura! + its sequel, Go For It Again Nakamura! (Coming July 2022) by Syundei from @gomanga - a high school klutz falls in love with his cutey-pie classmate https://t.co/B8DUpVOMIn

Also gay-ish, but maybe not *as* gay is my pick, Night Beyond the Tricornered Window by Tomoko Yamashita, a suspense/supernatural thriller laced with “when will they do more than hug/kiss?” boys love tension - get it now from @SuBLimeManga | https://t.co/6HUrA1NMkE
