The Revision: Paradise Kiss

Ai Yazawa’s Paradise Kiss is more than 850 pages and the most surprising part is how little time passes. From the beginning to the end (minus an epilogue), it really only takes place over about a month. Paradise Kiss packs in so much, it still feels like an intense epic.

The Revision: Nana

Aoi Miyazaki and Mika Nakashima in Nana

Let me be immediately clear about my bias here — Ai Yazawa’s Nana is one of the best comics of all time. I do not care to argue about this one way or another. You should just accept this as fact.

Photos from my Camp Snap. Yeah, my Pixel took better photos but these are fun and charming. I will forever love novelty cameras and I didn't want to travel with my Diana this time so this was fun. Perfect movie for my birthday! Gardens, parts of Calgary, food I forgot to take photos of until I started eating it. Lakes Johnson, Two Jack & Minnewanka Columbia Icefields/Icefields Parkway, Bow Lake, celebratory drink & vegan poutine at Nourish. Canmore Canada Day Parade! Happy Canada Day! Town of Banff. Very cute but busy and touristy. Still very beautiful, though. Banff Sunshine Village gondola and hike. Photos don't do it justice about just how beautiful it is. Also All Dressed chips (because Canada!) & a small quick sketch I did while we were out there. Canmore. It's beautiful here.
