Super-Love I ❤︎ MARVEL : Ai "Scarlet Witch in 'Meld with You' "

Though the "Ai" in this one-shot's title refers to the translated Japanese word for "love"...

...this non-continuity story features Marvel's most famous Artificial Intelligence, The Vision with The Scarlet Witch!

Written by C B Cebulski and illustrated by Tomoko Taniguchi, this never-reprinted tale was part of a collection of five 2006 one-shots on sale around Valentine's Day, featuring Marvel characters in romantic situations told in various narrative styles.

This particular anthology was done as manga and presented three tales, including the Avengers shown above along with Black Bolt and Medusa as well as Black Widow, Elektra, and Daredevil along with Karen Page)!

Pride in Print AFTER HOURS

Japanese comics (manga) have always been less...restrictive...than American comics....

...as this PG-13 example of the Shoujo-ai/Yuri (women's romance) genre proves!

Note: manga reads right-to-left, not left-to-right, as Western comics do!

And that's how they "met cute"...

Note that this excerpt is a scanalation from the original Japanese magazine publication.

The official American reprint from Viz removes the Japanese "sfx" as shown on this version of Page 3...

...and has slightly-different translations.

The series differs from the usual shoujo-ai/yuri strip (which feature high-school/college teen-agers) since the lead characters are adults.

Emi is in her mid-20s and Kei is early to mid 30s.
It's engrossing and entertaining, going into how the duo combine business (music DJ-ing) and romance after moving in together and it's tastefully-done.

Halloween HeartBreak YOAKE NO VAMPIRE Conclusion

The once-loving vampiric "family" of Louis, Lestat, and Claudia is falling apart...

...in the conclusion of this manga adaptation of Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire!
Note: Since it's Japanese (though translated), read it right-to-left, not left-to-right as is standard for Western comics!
