week 10 Japanese manga

       Japanese manga is very important in my life because I learned a lot of style and concept to draw and I got ideas from them.

       In the resource page, I read 'Battle Angel Alita'(as known as 'Chong-mong) and 'Akira'. Those are one of my favorite manga because my favorite genre in manga is SF- cyberpunk. The feature of this genre are realistic and believable future life and I believe it become a real life in near future.

      Mangas I recommend in this genre are 'Ghost in the shell' and 'Planetes'. Breifly, 'Ghost in the shell' is the story about a special team in Japanese military fight against cyber crime or cyber terrorism. 'Planetes' is a story about space debris, which are coming from old satellites or space shuttles, cleaners. It is fun  an satire the human desire to conquer the space. 

week9 Wide world of comic

When I was in the middle school in Korea, I read 'Asterix'  a lot. It was translated in Korean version.
I had fun memory to watch the combination fighting between Asterix and Obelix. Now, I just watched the 'Asterix and Cleopatra'  It is more fun than I read before because I understand their humor and I felt it is kind a educational comic.
One of the scene I laughed is Obelix broke Sphinx's nose and he hided under the sand. It is common cliche of western humor which someone broke something, than usually they hide the broken thing under the carpet. I said it is a educational comic the reason is after watch this scene, I searched about the Sphinx and she didn't have a nose and nobody knows. There are several guesses but still any guesses are perfectly fit into the reason. Probably, I think Obelix broke it!
