Two New Manga Titles for 2023
Touring After the Apocalypse, by Sakae Saito
Youko, a young girl who is apparently the last living human, is on a motorcycle tour of a ruined Japan, accompanied by her cyborg guardian, Airi. She is oddly cheerful and entirely free of worry for her own safety. Her excitement about the places she discovers, all famous Japanese destinations, contrasts with the desolate landscapes depicted, making a bittersweet and wonder-filled story.
The Saviour’s Book Cafe Story in Another World, by Kyouka Izumi and Reiko Sakurada
A middle-aged woman is transported to a fantasy world where she is given magic powers and ordered to become a heroic savior. She decides to use her new powers to open a bookstore/cafe to her exact specifications. Judging from the cuteness of her first few customers, there may be a lot more romance that heroism in store, but those of us who believe in the power of bookstores will likely be heartened by their ability to cope with whatever evils need to be fought.
