At no point did I feel the urge to read one more chapter. That’s the main flaw of Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto in this first volume. Instead I just found myself flicking through the pages when I was bored or needed a break from something else, to see what ridiculous thing Sakamoto might do next. Although I will admit to laughing during a few of the scenes, there wasn’t enough there to really keep me hooked and continue reading. These abilities range from being able to write with both hands to keep pesky girls from getting to close, to having sword fights with hornets using a protractor set in order to defeat and catch it before it wrecks havoc on the class. There is little story or character progression to be found, so the manga leans heavily on the gags to keep the reader engaged, as well as showing off all of Sakamoto’s abilities. Too bad everyone else in this volume are completely one-dimensional and forgettable though, because other than a few gags Sakamoto was the only thing interesting shown so far.įor those that are unaware, Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto is a gag manga that changes the scene each chapter to set up a new gag. Cool, stylish, and perfect at just about everything, Sakamoto is someone everyone should look up to.

I mostly talk about it in the sense of a subgenre, yes – similar to how we use the words grimdark or cyberpunk. But sometimes the kindest thing you can do for someone is to stand up to a bully on their behalf, and that takes guts and rage.ĭo you consider hopepunk a genre or something else? The instinct is to make it only about softness and kindness, because those are what we’re most hungry for. The heart of it hasn’t changed at all, but my efforts to remind people of the angry part of hopepunk definitely have grown.

“This volume is a useful resource for scholars, and makes an important contribution to discussions of the practice of drawing, drawing books, and print culture in early modern Europe.” (Veronica White, in Renaissance Quarterly, LXXII/4, 2019, p. “ Drawing and the Senses makes an important contribution to the growing literature on the senses in early modern artistic culture (…)” (David Karmon, in College Art Association Reviews, 19 March 2018) The study will serve as a basis for further research into the theoretical parameters of drawing instruction and its aims in the early modern era.” (Alexa Greist, in: HNA Reviews, January 2018) In so doing, she opens up new ways of thinking about the fragmentary drawing example as more than a practical approach to drawing instruction.

Hard times forced unwed mother, Bess Blight to leave her newborn baby, Clara, at London’s Foundling Hospital. Twists and a memorable story await you in 1754, London. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Georgian London, The Lost Orphan explores families and secrets, class and power, and how the pull of motherhood cuts across them all.Īfter reading Genevieve Graham’s The Forgotten Home Child, I was on the lookout for more stories about orphans when I stumbled upon The Lost Orphan by Stacey Halls. But her past is threatening to catch up with her-and will soon tear her carefully constructed world apart. When her close friend-an ambitious doctor at the Foundling Hospital-persuades her to hire a nursemaid for her young daughter, she is hesitant to welcome someone new into her home and her life. Less than a mile from Bess’s lodgings in a quiet town house, a wealthy widow barely ventures outside. Her life is turned upside down as she tries to find out who has taken her little girl-and why. Dreading the worst-that Clara has died in care-the last thing she expects to hear is that her daughter has already been reclaimed. Six years after leaving her newborn, Clara, at London’s Foundling Hospital, young Bess Bright returns to reclaim the illegitimate daughter she has never really known.

Instead of caring for babies, praying in their idyllic cathedral, and marketing small-batch mustards and aiolis, they’ve been called to care for recovering addicts and felons as the staff of Little Neon, a halfway house painted discount chartreuse in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, where the rusted water tower is about as idyllic as it gets.įiction about religious sisters tends toward the sentimental or the horrific, and Luchette’s Sister Agatha alludes to this convention when she remarks that nuns are either naive, charming, and jolly or “wicked, frustrated, sexually repressed.” Luchette deftly avoids the clichés of the genre, giving us instead flawed and frustrating but relatable characters-sisters and convicted felons alike. In Claire Luchette’s debut novel, four young sisters must make a new life for themselves when the day care they’ve been running closes its doors and their elderly superior retires. As Catholic religious sisters dwindle in numbers, age into old folks’ homes, and sell off their mother houses and hospitals, younger sisters increasingly have to find new ways to live out their vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience without the accompaniment of their peers.
