In the lead-up to Young Liars ending on September 2 with issue 18, I will be rereading the 17 issues already out and discussing them at a rate of one issue per day. I haven’t reread any of these comics since they came out, so it should be fun. Spoilers, of course. Let’s dance!

Danielle Leigh’s Reading Diary — Ikigami: The Ultimate Limit vol 2
Motoro Mase’s Ikigami is an adult version of Death Note, where death is meted out not by a sociopath with a god-complex, but randomly by the government to ensure social order. It’s a great concept that makes for some very dark, and sometimes even inspiring, storytelling.
