Tenali Raman its a Indian comic book Loved by the kids for his remarkable wit, brilliance and wisdom. Tenali Raman was a famous scholar during the regime of the Vijayanagar Empire in the 16th centaury CE. He had solution to every problem that emerged in Krishna dev ray's Kingdom. The very mention of the comic brings back some of the fondest memories from our childhood.

Death note. I already watched the Anime and loved it to bits, now I want more of the story so I decided to start reading the Manga. I'm also thinking of starting Kaguya-Sama, the manga, I love the Anime.

Recently I read NonNonBa by Shigeru Mizuki and Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo. Couldn’t recommend both of them more.

NonNonBa is a collection of short stories about Japanese mythological creatures (yokai) an old woman in the village used to tell the author in his youth. The manga is marked by a sense of nostalgia and wonder that can feel quite heartwarming even in sad moments.

Akira is a sci-fi classic full of action (probably doesn’t need an introduction).

I just started reading Angola Janga by Marcelo D’Salete, a historical comic book about quilombo dos Palmares and the scars slavery left on the brazilian people. So far, it’s great.

Land of the Lustrous (which is still ongoing! I think the author is in hiatus right now) is a favourite of mine and always will be. There's something hauntingly beautiful about it, and to this day, is my favourite despite not being finished.

I have just finished reading "Winners and Losers edition 3". And it was a wonderful experience. I would really urge anyone who likes social satires, to give this book a chance. I was pleasantly surprised by it.

My last manga was the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time manga. Whoo wee was that an experience! Seeing a game from my childhood presented in a type of media like a manga was really something, in a good way, that is.
My last comic book was a Witcher comic book, the Ballad of Two Wolves exactly. That comic is one of my favourite Witcher ones so far, the art is some of the best in the series & the story is really interesting & gripping. Plus I'm always a sucker for Geralt & Dandelion's little bromance, & I adore their banter to death. If you can't playfully insult your best friend that would follow you to the ends of the world, are you two really best friends?
And I don't know if this counts as a graphic novel, but I read N.D Stevenson's memoir The Fire Never Goes out. It was ok, I like that Nate used art from his old tumblr to tell his story & show the progression of the years. I did feel it was a lil disjointed, & I personally felt a bit uncomfortable reading it because it's a book published before Nate came out as bigender, & seeing representations of trans folks before their coming out always makes me feel icky. I'm happy they're comfortable enough to have their old self out there, but I could never.
