Tokyo These Days (Volume 1)
Mr. Shiozawa has quit his job as editor at a major manga publishing concern. He comes home to his pet bird, which speaks to him—just as much as the inward "ghost" that whispers of one more manga that must be brought forth. To that end, what has seemed to be the end for Shiozawa is simply a turn of the page, to another, perhaps more meaningful chapter of his caged existence. Thus begins Tokyo These Days, by renowned manga sensei Taiyo Matsumoto.

If You Didn't Know Superman Was a Progressive Illegal Immigrant All Along, You Weren't Paying Attention
Let’s get one thing out of the way right now: Superman is an illegal immigrant. Not in the Roswell autopsy sense, but in the "crashed his spaceship in Kansas without a visa" sense. He didn't wait at the border. He didn’t fill out the paperwork. Ma and Pa Kent didn’t stand in line at the Smallville Department of Extraterrestrial Naturalization. Nope. Baby Kal-El skipped customs, took refuge in a cornfield, and has been living that undocumented life ever since.

Stronger Than a Buller, Softer Than a Heartbeat
In July 2025, James Gunn, acclaimed for his work on Disney’s Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, embraced a narrative path that many superhero and comic book storytellers have previously shied away from. With Superman: Legacy, Gunn delves into the mythic origins of Superman—Clark Kent, or Kal-El—as an immigrant. He portrays him not merely as an alien or the last son of Krypton with god-like powers, but as a profoundly human character shaped by his outsider identity, his alienness, his otherness, and his difference. This time, his cape doesn't conceal his true nature.
