Do you read manga?

Yesterday, November 3rd, was "Mamga Day". Begs the question - do you read manga? If so, what are you reading now? And do you have a favorite manga and / or manga artist?

    I don't myself, but my son is really into it! Right now his favorite is Dragon Ball Super. I definitely think that manga is a good way to get kids interested in reading, so I'm a big fan of it in that respect.

    Yes, I read manga. My favorite manga is One Piece, because One Piece accompanied my youth until now.

    @achmadz my son quite likes One Piece as well but some of the imagery definitely leans towards the fan service side of things, which I'm not very fond of!

Favorite eco-friendly Japan brands

I posted this morning about an initiative that repurposes parts from retired Osaka Metro train cars and turns them into bags, chairs, and more. I'm also a big fan of the Nozomi Project, who make jewelry items with broken pottery found after the 2011 earthquake/tsunami. Do you have any favorite Japan-based brands that have a focus on upcycling or eco-friendliness?

What's a Japanese autumn tradition you've really come to love?

I mentioned in a blog yesterday that one of the things I love about autumn is the yakiimo warmers that pop up in convenience stores, supermarkets, and farmer's markets at this time of year. What's an autumn tradition that you've come to love during your years here? It could be anything...food-related things, autumn festivals you really enjoy, or possibly something else entirely!

Autumn travel trends in Japan, and where you might opt for instead

I saw a press release this week from the travel platform Agoda about travel trends in Japan for autumn. The biggest jumps in searches since last year were for Kagawa Prefecture, Shizuoka Prefecture, Hyogo Prefecture, and Hiroshima Prefecture. Have you visited any of those places in autumn, or maybe even lived (or currently living!) there? Any places you might opt for instead?
