Week Three

Starting off, Abandon the Old in Tokyo was god damn harsh.  The situations were highly realistic and I could not stop reading.  The closest to the narratives portrayed that I have experienced in manga and anime would have to be from Paranoia Agent that goes into the role of paranoia in peoples everyday lives.  Abandon the Old in Tokyo I feel I will leave a lot to discuss in class and I feel it had great plots that were able to balance disturbing with realistic narrative that made me keep reading.  Manga like this are necessary and are a great example of what would be lost with heavy censorship.  This manga shows a side of reality that necessary to know about and foremost read about and experience visually and not just experience and view manga and anime as escapes of pleasure.
