Reading through this discussion is really helping me understand the extent to which my favorite things were influenced by specific doujinshi artists that I read in my teens. For me, their take on characters was so much more real than the official versions.

I think most people overcomplicate this. If someone wants to post their own work online for everyone to view for free on their public social media accounts then that’s perfectly legal and fine by me. Sometimes searching for circle names or certain tags on Pixiv or Twitter will even pull up the complete work. The legality depends on the artist and their consent for public display, not on the platform through which it’s displayed (e.g. corporate sites). Following artists is not like finding books in a store, though. It’s not organized that way.

No links, thanks for asking. I can't read Japanese so I'm stuck with scanlators.

The recent adaptation of the novel by Charles Dance and Maeve Dermody was called ‘And Then There Were None’ of course. I would have been very interested to see an adaptation made in the 1940s. I imagine that the film posters for such a work would have advertising it under the title Ten Little Indians. How a work’s identity is established in the consciousness of the public is largely through the adaptations that are made of it and this miniseries is fantastic at establishing the identity that is currently perceived by most people of the work: The Ten Little Indians title is solidified.

This series is a wild ride. The female in the characters is one of them and is very notabilly designed. However, she is not the main character and there are many other guys in the team. The series Gantz is a very dark and grimy Sci-Fi horror series, so be warned it is not a light-hearted ecchi comedy.
Oku Hiroya is known for his dense and highly detailed artwork. The characters are depicted in all their forms, and in many cases that is shocking. The scenes are violent and at times extremely distressing. But it is not just the violence that makes Gantz so powerful. It is a exploration of what it means to be human and of our moral values. It is not an easy read, but it is a very rewarding one.
Again, the above series does have the character design you’re looking for in all of its detail, but as part of a much larger, dense, and complex work that is meant to leave a lasting impression in a very negative way. Fans of ecchi will find little to no satisfaction here, as Gantz is a class of series that will potentially bruise up the most seasoned of fans.

The base of the story is a creepy rhyme, a counting song in which things disappear one by one. Whatever the original rhyme was to count down to, the specifics of it are not important to the plot as it was developed in the modern version. The change from ‘ten little ns’ to ‘ten little soldiers’ in the updated version and the use of the last line of the rhyme as the title of the book actually serves to make the story more connected to the island that is the setting for the story, Soldier Island. In fact the editorial changes served to make the murder even more elegant and intentionally conducted than they were in the original. Instead of being the result of some racist folklore viciously culled from the annals of unpleasant history, the method of the killer’s murder of his victims was actually part of the overall plan and therefore more intentional.

International conventions can be great places to find Doujinshi artists who sell their work through Etsy or Storenvy during Anime Expo type of events. Sometimes you can even find a unique bilingual edition. Just be sure to research the seller thoroughly for credibility. Look for links to their social media sites and read reviews from other customers to avoid getting taken by a scam artist. Good luck!

I would recommend reading the first 5-7 free chapters of Webtoon of official translated work, and if you like it, buy in bulk during sales. Buying in bulk makes each chapter even more affordable. Just as you would buy a manga volume, this comic is worth the investment. The emotional payoff, the amazing character development, and stunning twists are all best read in the best version possible of the work. The official translated work is the result of a lot of professional hard work to accurately and faithfully translate the work to the best of the creator’s ability to ensure that English speakers get the full and complete version of the comic that the creator had envisioned. Reading pirated work will only result in a watered down and dilute version of an already excellent comic.

I’ve seen no movie adaptation of “21xx” and hope that 21xx is on the cusp of cult status. The movie could have such a great aesthetic to it (i.e. cybernetic body parts, etc. in a holographic world of advertisements. The wet rainy dark alleys are all here too). I wonder who could adapt 21xx to the big screen, possibly Denis Villeneuve (for his darker deconstructions) or the Wachowskis (to further mind-bend the movie). I hope Hollywood is aware of this soon so that some human can write an adaptation before the AI algorithm does.

There’s something about the baby’s gravestone that draws me back again and again. The title of the book becomes a monument, like that gravestone, to something which is absent yet overwhelming present. The book serves as a monumental grave for the history of slavery in America: “Here lies something lovely and terrible. Remember it.” Monuments, of course, are not just for the dead, but also for the living in order to process their grief. Thus, the title of the book and the book itself become a place for the reader to deal with the painful history of the past. Its significance is thus not only memorial but also functional.
