Ok well, everyone, here it is, the long awaited volume 2 of Section Chief Shima Kо̄saku! If you didn’t see the volume 1 post I did a whole rundown of the history of this series and what it’s about and all sorts of stuff like that. Check it out here if you haven’t yet.

This is the conclusion (and majority of) the New York arc! The arc that had about one chapter in volume 1. Shima does all sorts of things. Uh, I dunno how to explain any of it without spoiling things because this series has just started. But it’s really good! The story starts developing more from where it started as a couple of one-offs that weren’t intending to be part of a series into something with more substantial. The Shima Kо̄saku series is the sort of series that is mostly episodic but does have some things that become major plot lines and those characters/events come up again and again over the course of the series. I think that’s part of what makes it interesting. But every event helps build the overall worldview the author is trying to convey about the sorts of lives these folks lead.

It’s been a few months since we got volume 1 done and while I’d like to get them out faster, I’m trying to focus on finishing Takeshi right now. We’ve got about 60 chapters left to just clean and typeset so we’re getting there. And I’d like it to be fully finished before I focus too much on something else. Also I’ve been working on that series pretty much every day so I’m gonna need a break once it’s done and I’ve been kind of over-doing it with Takeshi so I kinda need to slow down a bit once that’s done.

Anyhow, this volume’s great! Check out this series if you haven’t yet!

Also, we have a new Discord! Come hang out and talk about manga. https://t.co/DgwRJE06j9?amp=1
