U19

A manga about youths under the age of 19 who awaken in special “libido” powers that they use to fight against the Grown-Up Party that ruthlessly oppresses youths in Japan. This manga has some good qualities, such as the main character Eiji Kudo who goes against male gender stereotypes with his hobby of sewing. Unfortunately the pacing at the beginning really killed this series. They spend the entire 1st chapter building the oppressive environment and Eiji doesn’t even activate his powers until the end of chapter 2. When you’re fighting for popularity in Weekly Shonen Jump against the likes of One Piece and Black Clover, waiting to reveal flashy special powers in your manga seems ill advised. U19 could have survived a little longer than it’s 17 chapter life span with some revised pacing. The truly sad part is that Yuji Kimura seems to have quit being a manga artist as they haven’t done anything since this ended. ~dakazu

House in Chiba // Yuji Kimura

this minimalist house in Chiba, Japan was designed to resemble a factory. the exterior features a galvanized steel facade and hidden garage, while on the inside, wooden furniture along with a wooden floor and ceiling help make this an inviting, clean atmosphere.
