Doing important work
A Facebook post from November 18, 2020 containing a photo of the first two volumes of Indonesian edition of Aria manga with the caption: "Re-reading Aria and I'm gonna count how many times Alicia says "ara ara" in each book I don't have Aqua though, so this is not going to be exhaustive data" A Facebook post from November 18, 2020 containing photos of panels in Indonesian edition of Aria manga with the caption: "Vol. 1: Alicia says "ara ara" at least 5 times. I say at least because I'm not sure if the "wah, wah" is another translation of "ara ara" like "aih, aih" or if it's something else."

So, yesterday I had a panel at an event for the first time. I tried to put manga categorizations like shounen, shoujo, seinen, and josei into contexts, to address persistent misperceptions about these categories, something I've wanted to do since at least last year.

I continued reading Bocchi Shinryaku last month and it gave me feels.
Comment about a manga from my blog: "Read Hitoribocchi no Chikyuu Shinryaku volumes 4-7. Ogawa made good on her words that she wanted to depict character relationships in this manga. The backdrop of mysterious interstellar civilization and conflicts is sure something intriguing too, but it is when I feel dread at the thought the main characters might get separated and feel relieved when their connection prevails in keeping them together that shows how much I've been absorbed into the work. Ogawa's works have done this to me twice so far, and reading them not through binging certainly strengthened the effect."

Pergelutan kemajemukan karya itu sendiri, kemajemukan realitas konteksnya, dan kemajemukan diri-diri yang menghasilkan dan memaknai karyanya.

Do you really need QR code to present this information? Can't it just be printed on the tag itself?

Got to see Goodbye, Don Glees at the cinema thanks to the Japanese Film Festival. It's shown on one of the bigger screens, so the waterfall at the end looks fantastic.
It's a fun and emotional summer adventure movie.

A simple book review
Commentary on a book from a blog post: "Reading Kirsten Cather's The Art of Censorship in Postwar Japan. I recommend people who are interested in the issue of censorship to read this book. Even if it focuses particularly on cases of works (literature, film, manga) that has been brought to obscenity trials, there are still things to learn about how the cases are connected to broader discourse about censorship and obscenity, their implications, and the relations to other issues such as nationalism."

The final episode of the anime is pretty low key, but it has much significance for the main character in emotional terms.
It's neat enough for a conclusion for now.
