The smell of rotting weebs was too unbearable to handle. It was almost impossible to cross the street.
that's london in general m8
>manga exhibit
>in a country where the vast majority of all manga is banned
What's the point? Who the fuck wants to look at revisionist censored Doraemon panels?
It lasts only an hour. But it did have the real pages the artists worked on, plus some really early manga. so its worth it for that.
I'm a member so I checked it out. Wasn't a bad exhibit. Not sure I'd pay specifically for it though.

Huh? What are you taking about?
Hinna, hinna!
It was a pretty good overview with some neat artefacts. Definitely worse ways to spend your £20
There were as many old (literal) boomers as there were weebs.
I remember visiting this museum couple years back and they had a floor reserved for some japanese pornography exhibit. Do they have like some necessary quota to meet for asian art or are british people just obsessed with asian culture?
yes
I’ve thought about going but I’m not sure I need to pay money to be told who tezuka is y’know
Panpanya work is on there, and there was a panpanya manga dumped earlier. Wtf
Retard
I’m thinking of going this weekend actually
Guren lagann reference? London's British Museum confirmed for bros.
As someone who really likes munakata it was very nice having that be one of the main displays. Really didn't expect an obscure manga to be that prominent but it is quite fitting. I also got a few other manga to read out of it and stared at Inoue's art for a while. I recommend it if you're really into manga.
Sorry for the shit camera. It's great to see in person.
Last one. Read munakata.
Does Munakata get better stories later on? I really liked Yokai Hunter but Munakata Kyoju doesnt seem to be focused on the occult side of things.
Yeah it gets better. I like the slight horror themed ones even if they do get a bit over the top sometimes.
Ok thanks, I'll give it another try
