My big comic purchase from @thebeguiling.bsky.social this week was Q Hayashida's DAI DARK Deluxe Edition V1...which ALSO has the added novelty of a glow in the dark cover! :D Much like DOROHEDORO, this is a very fun horror/black comedy book about a kid being hunted for his magic bones. :P

Such a fun store to browse as they have so many older books for original price. The staff were all super friendly & helpful even going back into their overstock area to find a copy of the Spirit Archives Vol. 11 when I asked if they had any single volumes of the series outside the full set for sale.

It's really real! Look at my Belle Époque of a translation baby!! (It's also my entire TCAF haul bc I was so busy interpreting, I had zero time to go around and fangirl over comics.)

The Golden Fly by Battan. The cover is a full-colour illustration cropped close around a woman from the breasts up. She has long blonde hair flowing around her, short bangs, and heavy eyelids, a sensuous look on her face. She's wearing a white slip-type thing with a plunging neckline, so her breasts are almost falling out of it. It's hot as hell.

Inside B&W page. The maid comes into the room in a smaller panel at the top of the page, and the rest of the page is a panel with the same blonde woman from the cover lounging on her stomach on a divan, head propped up in one hand as she looks back over her shoulder at the maid who is just barely in the panel.

Debuting at TCAF this weekend is something all the shoujosei fans have been asking for for years! Mars, rereleased! Working together with @kodanshamanga for an early release (just for us), the 30th anniversary edition comes in a beautiful shiny red hardcover.

The inner cover shows Rei licking Kira's finger. How romantic!

Kira tells Rei "You're just being stupid. But I think you're actually very smart." He doesn't look very convinced.
