Danielle: You know, it kind of stung me too, which is why I ended up talking so much about it in my blog post. Heh. Anyway, thank you!

Jan: Well said! I think I needed to hear that, actually.

Michelle: Don’t you dare! You’re going to make me have to write a blog post on the value of multiple perspectives.

Danielle was struck by the same words you wrote as I was…. though it doesn’t sting me so. Something greater can change to mean something less spectacular but equally meaningful. I’ll reply on your blog note, too.

If there is something profound to take away from Solanin, it is that there is no universal measure for happiness or success, and that a life spent searching for something greater may ultimately have less meaning than one that is simply unexceptional.

Dayum. Great observation but golly, it stings a little (your blog post is a nice band-aid though!).

Lovely review, so glad you posted it!

Chris: I’m a bit mortified that it’s taken me this long to get around to reading it. What a great manga!

Okman: It really is a good read. It’s a bit more expensive than your typical manga purchase, but when you consider that it’s a complete story in one double-volume, it is well worth it. I definitely recommend picking it up!

[...] Good morning, all! I’ve got a busy day ahead, but I wanted to point you to a review I posted last night, just barely making it in time for my self-imposed deadline (I love deadlines) in my Tokidoki Daylight column at Comics Should Be Good for 2009 Eisner-nominated manga Solanin. [...]

This and “After School Nightmare” were my two favorite manga of last year by leaps and bounds.
