(That said, I like both HxH anime. The original is dripping with moodiness, and the sequel is so consistently fun.)

In terms of manga, HxH is his masterpiece. Ceaselessly curious and unhinged in its scope, it should inspire every manga author to look a little deeper into their chosen genres and, if they must, drive a stake through them. Take risks, play around, and imagine.

Togashi has struggled so much over the years with his health, something not aided by the punishing schedule of a manga creator. Allegations that he was "lazy" always infuriated me. He gave his life and his physical mobility to this art form, a form that he's one of the best in the world at.

I feel the opposite about Yu Yu Hakusho, where the anime takes Yoshihiro Togashi's wonderful story and explores a visual depth that the manga just doesn't have. But HxH is such a varied masterpiece that no anime, a medium often built on stylistic consistency, can really match it.

I even got the domain name IWRITEComics.com but still… 😒

Your YouTube has a video talking about all of our issues for over an hour with the description, "This is my Roman Empire."

We're living, breathing people & you came into our replies with, "Well, management sucked, but the creators' issues weren't that bad, actually." WHAT. @eclaireinet.bsky.social

If you've ever left a shitty situation, & then a stranger came along in your replies & just kinda talked around you like you weren't even there but acted like they knew all about you, what should they expect your response to be? We can read what you say, we're real people. @eclaireinet.bsky.social
