Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion - Stage 3: Sword by Goro Taniguchi, Ichirou Ohkouchi
5.0
I really appreciate Iwasa going deep into the mindset of all the characters, especially Suzaku.
Sender: A Play by Ike Holter
5.0
Sender is a play about a group of friends who are left distraught after the disappearance of one of their friends. When he reappears, the group goes through a stage of trying to welcome him back, which results in even more complications, unexpected betrayals and developments in their group dynamic. It is a beautiful exploration of the effects of loss and the desperate attempt of trying to back to normal.
Stupid Fucking Bird by Aaron Posner
5.0
All these characters need help! A commentary on fame, what is true art, complicated character relationships. TW: suicide
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion - Stage 4: Zero by Goro Taniguichi, Ichirou Ohkouchi
5.0
"They were two people that he never wanted to harm. That's why he hadn't given up his name, although another part of him had become so evil"
Ok, it took me a long time to read this one, bc I kept getting busy and procrastinating, but my GOD! Iwasa's use of language to describe the character's feelings and how they see the world are just so masterful. His language truly portrays his impeccable knowledge of this world and his respect for each and every character.

Persona 5, Vol. 1 by Hisato Murasaki, Atlus

I was already playing the game and I really appreciate the fast pacing of the manga, compared to the game. It doesn't exclude anything major and I think it is an effective retelling.
A Strange Loop by Michael R. Jackson
5.0
Imagine Rent, but unashamedly black and truly authentic to its message. A Strange Loop, although it's about the specific experience of a fat gay Black man who is an aspiring Broadway composer, has so many points that one can relate to. I am not a gay Black man, and hence cannot speak of that side of the experience, but being able to find small things to relate to, like Usher's struggle of trying to stay true to his own artistic authenticity while trying to please his family who has paid for him to be in New York is a big point of empathy for me. Add in the layers upon layers of racism, homophobia, self-deprecation, and ultimate abstraction, and you still can't quite get A Strange Loop, because it os honestly much more than that and I still can't quite wrap my head around it. BUT DEFINITELY READ/LISTEN!!
