Moment the Eighth: Today’s target is…

If the previous moment was an emotional high point, this one’s a definite low. The manga in question here is Onani Master Kurosawa, that indie production that did more for me than many (perhaps most) of the professional works I consumed this year.

Moment the Ninth: Sorry, kid
