Throw in some West Side Story, and these adaptations/variations of Romeo and Juliet, and a high school lit class could have a ball figuring out how much is retained/left out/altered from the original Shakespeare, and what is essence of Romeo & Juliet, & why does it endure?

The @mangaclassics version of Romeo and Juliet sticks pretty close to the original prose and the story is pretty much in the same setting as the original too -- tho the characters hair is more... manga looking? https://t.co/9sAEMeswaj

Also worth a look in the boy-meets-alien vein: Parasyte by Hitoshi Iwaaki and the "Neo Parasyte" spin-off male/female-focused short stories collections -- all from @KodanshaManga https://t.co/UCWtvo8I9e | https://t.co/Qx3HByNA3E

Moto Hagio is on the nominee list for the Eisners Hall of Fame. I almost dont want her to win this year b/c I’d love to see her accept an award like this in person... wait ‘til 2022? Buy her books in the meantime :-) https://t.co/i8RHezd9ZW

the other manga panel for @TorontoComics is a discussion about the art & science of Cells at Work by Akane Shimizu fr. @KodanshaManga. Look for that chat, plus an early preview of the COVID-19 chapter in the upcoming Cells at Work v. 6 to debut when TCAF online launches in May

This writeup makes this manga sounds amazing, but its subject matter makes it possibly too hot to handle in English. The French edition of The Stray and the Weeds / Mauvaise Herbe by Keigo Shinzo is out now fr. @lezardnoir. https://t.co/XOd4rnVQKo

for more...urrr *spicy* girl-meets-yakuza odd couple romance, try Boss Wife by Mayu Sakurai, also fr. @KodanshaManga https://t.co/KPXDrBdr6N When Hasumi is reunited with her high school crush, she discovers that 1) he has a thing for her & 2) he's got a new... career since then.

For more odd couple yakuza hi-jinks, tho with more of a shojo manga rom-com flavor, try A Girl and her Guard Dog by Hatsuharu fr. @KodanshaManga - a yakuza princess finds that her bodyguard has enrolled in her high school to keep an eye on her https://t.co/STgzdi7kAV

The Way of the Househusband episode of @mangasplaining is up! Listen & follow along with the show notes for maximum enjoyment. https://t.co/aBqHGfsjpR For even more fun, read vols 1-4 fr @VIZMedia too! https://t.co/IpofQWKqQT

Another manga we talk about in the Yotsuba& episode of @mangasplaining is Our Dining Table by Mito Ori fr. @gomanga, 1-volume cooking/boys love/slice-of-life about a lonely guy who teaches two brothers about how to make and share tasty meals together https://t.co/HXF33p5Is2
