The Eastern Edge

First it was Kojiro...

Now, years later it is Tomomi Nomiya gracing an Inoue comic cover and desperately grasping for something while either falling or floating in mid-air.

This just came to mind when I saw the cover of Real vol. 11 today, as I too desperately grasp for something to blog about while continuing to work on the Takehiko Inoue interview for later this week.

I wonder if Vagabond being volume 20 and Real being volume 11 was deliberate and represents "2011"? Maybe Inoue intended to somehow link the two titles! Maybe there are other links in his work that are all part of the Inoue Code and lead to something amazing!!

Or maybe I'm just spectacularly bored right now...
