The ending of the third book could be different, but I really love the concepts too.
Murder in the Crooked House by Soji Shimada, Man by Keiichiro Hirano, Lady Joker by Kaoru Takamura and the Way of the Househusband manga.

I read only what was traslated in my language. I read Ball lightning and Supernova era. With the trilogy these were the only ones translated so far.
Hopefully they will translate more.
Ball lightning was the weakest one for me. I didn’t like the pacing of it that much.

The manga is great, the anime is stylized like the manga and the live action is the best of all Gokushufudou properties.

Blame! is great. I recently read Abara, by the same author. I definitely recommend it. It is shorter than Blame!, but equally amazing.
Thanks, will check it out ^^
I started read BLAME! last year, then i got busy at uni so i had no time to read and i need to refresh my memory cuz i wanna continue read it this summer. the artwork is so amazing so i would really like to see his other stuff ^^

Right now I’m reading Grappler Baki. It is janky as hell, but so far I love it.
I finished Robert McCammon’s Boy’s Life last night and I’m a sucker for coming-of-age novels. Despite not knowing this existed in my youth, it made me cry three times and is now probably my favorite novel of all time! It has a little of everything and the chapters, while following a linear timeline, delve into horror, mystery, slasher, romance (kinda, more like teenage lust), and supernatural. It’s phenomenal. I found a copy at a local used paperback store and having a well-loved partially destroyed copy enhanced the experience.

Currently re-reading 4 books at once because I have literature exams coming up ( I feel like dying- ). The books are Twelfth Night, A raisin in the sun, A separate peace, and a book of poems TT. But on the other hand, I manage to catch on to some mangas ٩(●˙▿˙●)۶…⋆ฺ!!

One book for exams and “The Earthsea” qartet from Ursula Le Guin. Between them I read some shounen-ai and yaoi mangas(¯ ¯٥). It’s little difficult to read 2 books in the same time. And I’m waiting for the new chapters of “tomodachi game” and “Koko wa Ima kara Rinri desu” so I have a lot of things to read right now…
This one’s sitting on my bed right now! I’m probably gonna read it this weekend. Today I’m finishing his book “Dissolving Classroom,” which I’m liking a lot more than expected.
On the manga front I’m also slowly working my way through Berserk, though I’m only fifteen-twentyish chapters into it. As far as traditional lit goes, right now I’m working on both “The Atrocity Exhibition” by JG Ballard (casual reread from college,) and “The Hobbit” by Tolkien - which I’ve only just started for the first time. I haven’t even watched all of the LotR movies, so it’s a pretty fresh experience.
