The cover design is streamline, almost minimalist-painted figures on solid fill, a curly-cue logo and modest indica. They seemed so right together at the time, but now they were separated by miles of distance, and by unrelenting necessity. I kept on thinking about that green-backed volume two, so sleek, compact and inviting, and how it had looked on the night stand next to its partner, back to front, spooning in a little pile, the orange overbalancing the green by its larger size. The fourth day was particularly hard on me-it seemed like there was no where I could just sit and rest for a while without causing a problem for someone else. Punchy plot summary! Adachi Sensei, Oh great flaming star of manga! Four decades of comics! Still alive! Still writing about teenagers! Four stars!!!! Part the Third, in Which the Reviewer, Failing to Avoid the Worst Aspects of His Own Editorial Impulses, Pens an Overwrought Description of the Book As a Physical Objectįor a week this March I slept on a succession of couches, spending the days wandering Seattle with a green duffel filled with a few posessions my inking supplies, paper, various clothing and toiletries, my spiral notebook, and several books, including the second volume of Cross Game. ![]() And my ability to one day read Touch in print, in English, depends on you and your deep comics spending.
