It's here that Masamune established himself as a major figure on the cyberpunk scene - drawing heavily from the science fiction genre of the era. Two years after getting into manga, he self-published his debut in 1983: Black Magic. Perhaps because of this, there's very little of the usual manga 'know-how' in my work." And that's how someone like me, who had never even bought a manga magazine before, wound up drawing them. In college, I met a friend who was a manga fan and was also doing self-publishing. Since I was fond of art, though, I later chose to enter the Osaka University of Arts, and I studied oil painting there. In an interview for Dark Horse, the Western distributor of many of his manga, Masamune explained, "When I was in junior high and high school I didn't draw much, and I instead devoted myself to sports (judo). Though he had some experience with television and anime like Gundam, he was very detached from the art form. Growing up, Shirow Masamune had very little interaction with manga or comics as a medium. The author's real name is Masanori Ota his pen name based on the legendary Japanese swords master, Masamune. Before we take a look at Masamune's present, let's go over his past. Nader encouraged students to politely and persistently dig up the facts on corporate and governmental abuses and to use that information to create change through political means. He also created a new form of social activism in the 1960s that was very different from the sit-ins, rallies, and riots that marked the decade. Nader touched every aspect of American consumers' lives by demanding that companies provide safe products and by forcing the federal government to regulate corporations. He was the man who remade the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the government agency charged with promoting business competition and protecting consumers from unfair or harmful business practices. Best known for his role in shaping the consumer support movement of the 1960s, Ralph Nader was also the founder of the Public Interest Research Group (PIRG). In 2019, the book was ranked 13th on The Guardian's list of the 100 best books of the 21st century. Ehrenreich later wrote a companion book, Bait and Switch, (published September 2005), about her attempt to find a white-collar job. It was expanded from an article she wrote from a January 1999 issue of Harper's magazine. The book was first published in 2001 by Metropolitan Books. The events related in the book took place between spring 1998 and summer 2000. Written from her perspective as an undercover journalist, it sets out to investigate the impact of the 1996 welfare reform act on the working poor in the United States. Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America is a book written by Barbara Ehrenreich. Aru is experiencing a lot of internal conflict due to finding out more about her dad, and realising he might not be as evil as she first thought. Since this was a middle grade book, I wasn’t expecting all the emotion put into this. Seeing the tension this caused throughout the group was written so well and so believable making the characters so much more human in my eyes. A prophecy is also introduced in this book, claiming that one of the Pandava sisters would turn out as untrue. Seeing these humorous interactions between all the characters as well as their new dynamic with Sheela and Nikita, the last two pandavas just made all the characters feel more real and fleshed out. This series mixes Hindu Mythology with modern times so well, and it’s written very descriptively, making you feel that you are experiencing each moment with the characters. One thing I loved about this series is how the author Roshani Chokshi introduces the last 2 pandavas in this book, finally completing the group. This did not disappoint, compared to the rest of the series. This book is the third instalment of the Pandava Quintet. Aru Shah and the Tree of Wishes kept me on the edge of my seat while I was reading it. In 1997, DC Comics launched a new Justice League series titled JLA, written by Grant Morrison with art by Howard Porter and inker John Dell. A Justice League of America formed in the September 1996 limited series Justice League: A Midsummer's Nightmare by Mark Waid and Fabian Nicieza. The low sales of the various Justice League spin-off books by the mid-1990s prompted DC to revamp the League as a single team (all the various branch teams were disbanded) on a single title. When relaunched by writer Grant Morrison, the team again focused on the most recognizable, powerful, and long-lasting heroes in DC's library. The series restarted DC's approach to the Justice League, which had initially featured most of the company's top-tier superheroes but shifted in the 1980s to featuring a rotating cast of established characters alongside newer ones and also saw that franchise expand to several spin-off series, diluting the prestige of the name brand. JLA was a monthly comic book published by DC Comics from January 1997 to April 2006 featuring the Justice League of America (JLA, Justice League).
